I have modded by 3DS, so I can play any GBA, DS, 3DS games or any emulator for old systems (like GB/GBC, NES). The worst though is that the scaling of DS games sucks on 3DS screens, so I might actually get a DS Lite or DSi XL in the future just because of this.

I had a Nokia phone (6070?) that had some kind of walkie-talkie-like function, but I never figured out what it did.

Edit: Apparently it's called Push-to-Talk, and it uses PTT service, whatever that is.

You can get a controller for any smartphone out there. Also RPG's play fine with touch controls, that's how I played Pokémon games with no issues.

You could probably use RetroArch for nearly every system out there, including MAME core which could itself probably even emulate your smart fridge in the future, given enough time for developers.

That's why I bought a 3DS :)

Also somebody had a bright idea to disable the flashlight in Android after battery drops to low percentages. I was very angry one day, when I walked through forest, and I needed to do it in complete darkness.

I might not touch Harry Potter movie or book ever again at that point.

Transatlantic Union go!

Windows 8.1 was amazingly good, simple and fast, if you ignored whole Metro thing. You could also install 3rd party start menu alternative, if you needed it.

As for later Windows versions 7 and 8.1 were pretty stable and lightweight. It was only in the later versions of Windows 10 when it became filled with ads and some stupid bloatware.

Earlier Windows 2000 and XP were of course also amazingly well made and even lighter, but weren't exactly as stable.

Unless computer companies include Linux with their PC's, it will never get general adoption.

No average user will follow instructions on how to boot Linux distro installer, especially when there are multiple steps needed to do so, such as on UEFI systems.

There is a ported version for 3DS, lol.

I am pretty sure Minesweeper was on Game Boy. And there are various versions of other games on various platforms as well.

I agree that they are pretty great, but if you use VR headset, they are fucking annoying.

I sometimes wonder if the other approach is possible: Enhance our possibilities to see and process much more detail with our brains.

I know some people have better vision than regular people and I always wondered how does that even work.

I was that guy, but I gave up and just call it Linux, since there's really no other name you can call it at that point. GNU/Linux is as correct as Systemd/Linux or Electron/Linux (for these quite a few VScode/Spotify/Discord/Other Electron app enjoyers).

It's a very useful site, but I don't get the competition thing. If you want to finish the game fast you speedrun it, not play casually.

You no longer need to have flagship phone, to have good experience though. I am rocking my Samsung Galaxy A52 and it does everything I want it to. Only current localization and direction seem to behave weirdly and not accurate when navigating using Google Maps (especially when walking) but on other apps it's perfectly fine, so go figure, lol.

I was running MATE door years before switching to Windows 8.1 and shortly after first public beta of Windows 10 when it was available. I was even helping translating it to Polish for like a month or two, but given that I was probably like B1 (about B2 right now) in English at that time it was probably not ideal, lol.

I am now not drinking more than 3, because one time I nearly collapsed when commuting by bus after drinking 5 coffee cups, before 3 pm.
