It’s the same thing we see with Star Wars. It was a nerdy thing a guy made and the world loved it. Now it’s a corporate market research driven machine that lacks a soul.

Haven’t ever used it yet but it comes with Emudeck. My emulation backlog is a mile long so maybe someday will get to OG Xbox lol

Good, fuck em.

Especially when all of the media is streamed locally from our own server. Why would I need external connection outside the network? So LG can spy on me? I’m good.

Yep! My C3 is never on WiFi and we love it. Ad free Home Screen and we just use a different device to run all our applications.

This looks like one of those drawings a twelve year old does when planning their first tattoo. Fuckin yikes.

Loved that game as a kid, and still have my OG copy.

It wasn’t until going back and playing as an adult that I recognized Timothy Omundson as the lead VA. Loved him in Psych and in Supernatural. Apparently he voiced various characters is KoTOR 2 and I desperately need to replay that as an adult.

My only regret was not getting the white special edition one, but my OLED is fantastic. Especially with the Satisfye grip. Endless comfort playing slay the spire and Pokemon ROMs.

As someone with the Steam Deck OLED and a Nintendo switch 2 with the LCD screen, I couldn’t imagine paying Ally X prices for an LCD screen.

Deck OLED screen is far and away the best option and I got it for sub $700 back when it launched.

NS2 is incredible piece of kit for the price, and the best way to play any Nintendo exclusives… but I’d rather play any multiplat games on deck OLED.

I am in the same boat. I have 28TB of storage, but I am sad I didn’t buy more. I will be hoping that these drives hold on until the prices return to semi-normal.

I stayed on AM4 and DDR4. I have been getting the absolute most out of that socket. Same B450 motherboard and swapped out my 3600 for a 5800x3D when prices were dirt cheap for that chip. I won’t upgrade until it dies or I can’t run the games I want anymore.

I’m convinced that conservatives wake up in the morning and just choose something to be mad at. Green MnM losing her high heels, gas stoves, Starbucks, avocado toast, etc.

Target just sucks in general now. Last I heard, the Black community had an all-out boycott which hurt their margins. I’m sure sad beige moms aren’t enough to keep that store in business forever which is why a gallon of milk there is like $7.

Glad I stocked up on all my gaming hardware before all these price increases. I don’t see the need to upgrade anything for quite some time. If the hobby stays expensive in 5-7 years I’ll likely just downsize to a single ecosystem instead of having them all.

This is my problem with almost all 7th-generation games. They are largely muddy, brown, and dark. I almost never go back and play 3d games from this era.

I’ll always have fond memories of my iPod classic with the 160gb storage. Endless playlists!

Sad to see this really. I don’t think I would ever switch back to Android now that bootloaders are locked down. I am sure they will find away to take away APKs in the US. I loved being able to swap out ROMs as needed and try new things.

Pixel has turned into blatant spyware and AI machine. I just can’t get behind the all AI future that Google is going towards.

There is a reason the happiest people are usually ignorant to their surroundings. Head in the sand works for a lot of people’s sanity.

I just never gave my smart TV network info. It’s at the factory settings and can’t connect to anything. If there isn’t a console connected to it then it is useless. Just like the good ole days.

Yeah I could see that. The gameplay is definitely dated.

I see! Thanks for the explanation. Have a good day kind sir!
