@jake4480 Feeling this HARD today

I've shaped my life around never needing to sign up for a LinkedIn account

Adulthood is packing a bag with multiple electronic devices for a day trip and never touching any of them

@Cefr Lol there's never a bad place to nerd out! I may have been more inclined today if we didn't take the dog -- he insisted on standing on my lap so he could watch the road ahead

@lonelyautomata Lol not too bad, I barely noticed anyway. The bag sat in the car the entire time

I've accepted that streaming services like Hulu will never give me a simple playlist option so I could just load it with my favorite episodes from my favorite shows and let it run (and not have to constantly fucking select them).

I also reserve the right to be forever annoyed about this

@jake4480 Yet another W for piracy. Streaming services cant stop catching Ls

Bootleg unlicensed games never died: They evolved into Steam Direct shovelware asset swaps.

@lonelyautomata Ahh yes, my old favorite game Adolescent Transforming Warrior Frogs

Some people like making drama because they're bored. You have to recognize those kinds of people, remember that about them, and avoid them if possible (or as much as possible) if you don't wanna waste your time

@rootcompute@mastodon.social avatar

@jake4480 You can't avoid them when you live in a small town lmao

Personal catch-phrase of the month: It's all just so exhausting™

@buru5@mstdn.games avatar

I have it on good authority that #Nintendo "Switch 2" (named the "Swipe") is a card-based console with a card reader built into the unit. The cards, once swiped, unlock access to: full games, wallpapers, avatars, DLC, and even apps like Hulu, YouTube, and Netflix. The Swipe will be released by the end of Q2 2025, alongside over 200 cards purchased separately in booster packs.

One of the neat things about this is that, if you still have old e-Reader cards, you can swipe them for fun extras.

@buru5 Hoping all of the games are card-based too. The best video games are the ones where you have to play a card before performing any type of action

@buru5 A card-based sequel could be just what the F-Zero fanbase needs in 2025

May I suggest Persona 5: Royal?

Yet to hear a compelling argument for not blocking all of threads.net

rootcompute,
@rootcompute@mastodon.social avatar

@jake4480 Smart man. Most accounts I see on there appear to be grindset influencers, I came here to escape that kind of thing lol

rootcompute,
@rootcompute@mastodon.social avatar

@lonelyautomata I am tempted. Doesn't appear to be anything of value so far

rootcompute,
@rootcompute@mastodon.social avatar

@buru5 They pretty much only pop up when I'm browsing the global federated timeline. If not for that I'd probably be blissfully unaware

rootcompute,
@rootcompute@mastodon.social avatar

@lonelyautomata Yea I generally agree but I mean, I still use Twitter for certain things even though it's owned by another dumb out of touch billionaire. At a certain point you just have to decide for yourself which tradeoffs are worth it.

I'm not on threads by choice but it doesn't really harm me to see what's on there via federation. If there's a cool retro gaming account worth following I wouldn't be opposed, but the content appears to be far from that

Do you ever get the feeling that you're the main character in a video game called Shadow Madness?

rootcompute,
@rootcompute@mastodon.social avatar

@buru5 Fair enough, I feel like your madness is more out in the open

@rooneymcnibnug Same 💅

@GamingWolf At least my more maniacal moments aren't documented on YouTube for anybody to see on demand (I hope?)

Here's my #gaming #handheld collection!

The purple Game Boy Color was my first ever game system, followed by the purple #GBA and then the blue SP. The original DMG needs some repairs and replacement parts, it was a garage sale pickup years ago.

I use the #SteamDeck a lot nowadays, but I still try to make time for the #retro #handhelds. The mini #emulation handhelds can be a nice change of pace as well! Do you still like old school handhelds? Let me know!

#throwbackthursday #retrogaming

@fmn LOL I would love to get an rg35xx or something equivalent soon, outside of the Steam Deck I haven't been able to purchase a new handheld in several years. Glad you like!
