Turns out people don’t wanna pay console/PC prices to play games on their mobile devices. Who knew.

Care to explain?

Our table always drinks coffee during a session regardless of time of day. As for snacks, whatever looks appealing from the local dollar store.

That is, if you’re still using Google search…

What’s a viable alternative? Bing seems to be just as rah rah AI as Google, DDG gives me oranges if I search for apples… if there is an actually useful search engine out there that isn’t actively in the process of becoming enshittified, I would absolutely love to know.

Pretty much. But publicly MSG still has that “ooo scary and harmful” stigma to it. It’s no more harmful than salt or sugar, but some weird racism against Chinese immigrants in the 40s created that stigma.

My solution to making home cooking taste better than fast food was buying a fat sack of MSG and using it in everything. Truly it’s the king of flavor.

When Conker’s Bad Fur Day is available with unlocked resolution and widescreen, let me know.

Good thing Ubuntu 24.04 LTS comes out tomorrow. I’ll be doing a reinstall on my machine and sticking with it until the next LTS release in two years.

The Game Boy line of handheld consoles revolutionized the gaming industry and were fascinating devices, even if they had some absolutely bizarre models and accessories at times. Did you know there existed (but was never used) a Game Boy Color accessory used to anesthetize children before surgery? True story.

Ah - it’s $1000 CAD. That’s where I was mistaken. USD it would be about $200 cheaper like you mentioned.

The Apple Watch Ultra already costs that much, doesn’t it?

I could see it working as Too Loud Didn’t Watch, like when those idiotic YouTube meme videos crank up the volume until it’s distorted for “comedic effect.”

Canada, for one.

Or from a country where an IP address does not equal a person in the eyes of the law, and therefore you cannot be charged for copyright infringement based on IP address alone.

That’s fine, I’ll install the open source App Store that replicates the functionality of those apps without the bullshit (or straight up has modified versions that remove that garbage).

And we’re a drop in the bucket compared to the Reddit userbase. A rounding error. Some impact we made.

I thought that too. And then nothing happened when Reddit killed third party apps. The Reddit userbase will continue to bend and spread. As long as Spez spits on it first, they’ll continue to take it.

Their greed made me put on my eye patch years ago. And since then I’ve only convinced more to do the same.

Screw these greedy bastards.

So how does that work? Connecting them just discharges yours and charges hers until both battery levels are more or less even?

Well that’s too bad. And porting it to another framework would be an absolute nightmare - practically an entire rebuild.
