I'm big into the SBC gaming world, where increasingly more and more devices are launched with Android as opposed to Linux. My current device is the retroid pocket 3+ which runs android 11 and retails for 150ish. I've been using emulators for the past 15 years so I have a hearty collection of roms and along with the fact you can play play store games and stream with it, it's pretty much the perfect device for me. Retroarch handles everything up until GameCube/PS2 era, then standalone emulators for the rest. 3ds is playable with vulkan and GameCube is too if you downscale. I literally can't tell the difference between any resolution so it's perfectly playable for me.
If you're looking to get into either a dedicated handheld console for emulation or just connecting an Xbox controller to your phone, check out retro game corps on YouTube. He has detailed guides on how to set up every emulator, every handheld, everything you can think in relation to this. If you at all have nostalgia for this kind of stuff, I'd say invest like $100-$200 into one and just go crazy. They're all seriously great little devices and being able to play all the games you did when you were a kid or just missed out on is awesome.
It'd be pretty sick if after seeing the massive success bg3 was and how they were wildly off with their prediction, Microsoft pushes an order for pillars of eternity 3.
While I'm in this bizzaro world where Microsoft makes good decisions, I'd also like a Ferrari.
Retainment has never been the issue. 90% of jobs in the military are basically office jobs to support the 10% who would actually see combat. And if you are part of that 90% you have a pretty cush life. Monthly tax free pay for food and housing, free health and dental, potential to live in Japan, England, Spain, Germany, Belgium, or pretty much anywhere else, 30 days of paid time off a year, gi bill for free college, the thousands of benefits vets get after they separate, a pension for life after 20 years for those who stay in, it's not hard to see why people stay once they're in. Where they are having a problem is that initial hurdle, getting people actually in the door. Which makes sense, a lot of young people, especially nowadays, are pretty anti establishment; there's also an obesity, drug, and mental health epidemic that disqualifies people from service, and there is always that looming threat that you could be sent out to die.
To answer your question, no, no meaningful standards have changed to allow more people in, besides allowing marijuana usage. Which was basically already allowed; you just needed to pinky swear to your recruiter you had never done it. If anything it's been made more difficult with new requirements for previous medical history.
Ultimately I'm glad I joined, the benefits far outweighed the negatives. It lifted me out of poverty to a job where I'm making 6 figures and got to see the world. Only you yourself can decide if joining is worth it.
Lol. Basically the entire air force hasn't offered an enlistment bonus for the past 15 years because they're so overmanned. The army just stopped offering reenlistment bonuses for the first time in god knows how long because even they're so overmanned.
I mean, a lot of people. I have a pixel fold I use naked, and when I had iPhones I never used a case. I paid a lot for the phone, I'm not gonna cover it in a piece of tpu. They also just make phones even more unwieldy than they already are. If you have kids I get it I guess.
What counts as fast food? Only places with a drive thru? Does chipotle? Baja fresh? Farmer Boys? Local mom and pop joints? I wonder who makes that decision and how it's made.
I do it with everything. The only people who have my real email address are my family. Everything else is a masked email. It's especially nice because if I start getting spam on one email I can immediately tell which site sold my info and I never use that site again.
It has anilist too, that's what I use. I had never even heard of saikou before so haven't used it but I've never had any issues with aniyomi. It's perfectly functional in finding anything I want to watch and looks good. Can't do anything about your subjective preferences though.
All it does is plug into pirated anime streaming sites and plays data from there. So pretty much fine. You should always have a vpn on but yeah I wouldn't worry.
The tradeoff is you do 90% less work (job depending)... I've beaten cyberpunk, baldurs gate 3, starfield, and I'm replaying cyberpunk again all this year at work.
Any recommendations for android? I know there's pocket casts but I'm not paying a subscription for a podcast app. All I need it to do is literally find the podcast then click play. I'm not really sure what there even is to innovate on for apps to charge you.
