We call that type of arcade "redemption hell". Good arcades still exist, though! See if any of your local arcades specialize in retro games or Japanese games. They'll have the good stuff, even if the atmosphere isn't what it used to be.

We discuss these things. But don't use Mbin/Lemmy/Piefed to actually organize your local resistance efforts. It's too public. That's for encrypted platforms like Signal.
Sorry, I'm guilty of this. For me, my more whimsical threads and comments are a healthy distraction from our new American autocratic hellscape. Some escapism is good for mental health. Sometimes I slip and mention of American politics because that's what's causing me stress, and that's a mistake. I shouldn't bring up politics so much.
Encoding the source URL in the screenshot's metadata is not bad. That would preserve the source credit in places where people simply copy your image and post it somewhere else. We'd have to make sure it's not saving the full URL of a private conversation, where the full URL might leak a private key or a session ID. Can't let someone turn on this feature and then accidentally doxx themselves.
Suppose I did fake a screenshot, and I supplied a source link. Anyone could click my link, read the real thing, and call me out on my bullshit. That's the way it should be.

I like this, but it's better to always link to the source of your screenshot. Art communities like mine are strict about always citing sources, and I wish the rest of the internet would cite sources. For example:
I still have a Twitter account because I have to track down artist sources there, but I rarely post there. I brought it out of hibernation today to retweet the guillotine that executed King Louis XVI.
In desktop Firefox, Ctrl+Shift+C lets you click on an element and inspect it. Then, just press the Delete key. Page scripts can't block this. On mobile, you have to rely on adding more filter lists.
Artificial intelligence is not a problem with the Chao Garden from Sonic Adventure y yo no se que es eso de la vida de mi vida y no me gusta que me lo diga así sea yo no soy yo la que no me gusta estar contigo y tu como estas mi amor y tu como estas mi amor 😍
Uh, thanks for the Spanish? Translated:
Artificial intelligence is not a problem with the Chao Garden from Sonic Adventure and I don't know what that is about the life of my life and I don't like it when you tell me so be it I'm not the one who doesn't like being with you and how are you my love and how are you my love 😍
A Retroid Pocket 4 Pro? That thing is an emulation beast. For me, I'd be right at home playing Dreamcast and PSP games with RetroAchievements turned on. But this thread isn't about emulation.
I bet !skychildrenoflight@lemmy.world runs great on this thing. Dead Cells and Streets of Rage 4 seem to be popular picks too. I'd look into unofficial ports like RSDK, Ship of Harkinian, Open XCOM, Open Lara, and D1X-Redux. The Retroid front end can probably install some of those for you.
Which handheld do you have? The games depends on the screen size and buttons available. Without that information, !Balatro@lemm.ee is the only safe bet I have.

I'm looking forward to playing all these tracks at work today.
