I feel the best-of-both-worlds move nowadays is to get an iPhone SE and something like the Sony NW-A306. Just embrace a small dedicated media device, iOS for privacy but still getting to use the stupid iMessage and FaceTime features all of your asshole friends use, and an awesome DAP that you can install that one Android app you need for whatever reason.

Hey at least Xbox can play CDs.

PS5 is incompatible. [insert Techmoan video here]

I was more making a point about people already owning capable machines in regards to the consoles, PCs, old smartphones etc they already own being capable emulation machines.

Someone should try and rule out what they already have before buying one of the SBC-style handhelds. It’s more economical, prevents more e-waste, reparability is way more accessible on other hardware than SBCs, etc.

PS2, GC, Wii compatibility is a good point. The only argument I have against that is just going to devolve into Old Man Yells At Clouds so I’ll let you win on that.

The best retro gaming console is the one you already own. Any old hand-me-down or thrift office PC can handle the majority of retro titles, as can most consoles with custom firmware.

If you already own anything from the DS-3DS-PSP-Vita lineups you should be looking into making the most of the hardware you already own.

That being said, my partner is very happy with their Deck, and I’m pretty pleased with my RG351V running ArkOS. I’ve also been very happy with running my RP3B+ with Retropie.

But to be very honest, I don’t do a damn thing that my gaming PC two builds ago, and my PSP1000 I’ve had since high school wouldn’t be able to handle with flying colors.

60%60% ?

I don’t think that’s right.

Me: “let me just go look up Mystery Men real quick… oh.”

I have the official Apple Lightning-Aux for my AKG K361 and Grado SR60x. It has definitely adequate audio, no complaints.

I use the Apple USB C-Aux I use for when I use any headphones with my gaming PC (usually Koss Portapros). Also definitely adequate.

My impression with either one is - except for physical durability concerns, if either adapter can power what you’re plugging into it they’re awesome. If you need more power or physical controls or weird connection formats that’s where they start to not be great.

Huel does have a weird, thick texture that’s difficult to get past. Soylent is a lot smoother.

I settled on liking a half-half combination of Huel Black and Soylent about once a day. I kind of fell out of it because of the cleaning requirements.

Someone left a comment on [redacted] that spoke highly of the HiBy R2 II. I can’t speak for it but that might be up everyone’s alley here.

I’m still rocking a 6th gen iPod I just recently refurbished so I may not be the best advice here.

Wait, you’re telling me police officers in Phoenix have executed a random person more than once?

Next you’re going to tell me they’ve recently kept slaves in air-conditionless tents in one of the hottest counties in the country.

It’s Phoenix. She’s lucky the cops didn’t execute her on the spot.

Y’all remember that time they did that? I remember.

It’s a great game, multiplayer shenanigans with friends.

The public audio is almost entirely people having fun which is a lot more to be said than a lot of other popular online shooters.

You’re doing the Lord’s Work with auto captioning that image. My boi

I have no idea why this isn’t more widely known.

I always liked Mint when I daily drove it years ago. Nowadays since Steam appears to be more user-friendly I’m wondering if I should try something like Pop so I don’t have to do any troubleshooting / run a dual-boot just to run games.

I could never get my pihole to remain stable over long periods of time. Multiple reinstalls, two different pis, always issues with the network dropping or requiring both the pi and connected devices to be rebooted. A pain in the neck for a reason I’m not immediately able to figure out.

Why would fingerprint reading get worse if the ambient light is low?

This is what I’m here for.

BRB gonna go smudge my car. No demons allowed

I’m a big fan of people setting up their cactus/crystal collection on their dashboards.

It really establishes that /grenade/ aesthetic.
