Ok, but my gen 1 Chromecast stopped working years ago, and it was sluggish, unreliable to cast to and virtually unusable long before that. My Chromecast Ultra has steadily declined in usability too, the whole Chromecast UX has fallen off a cliff the past few years. It used to be fucking magic and just worked with everything. Now my Chromecast with Google TV only really works satisfactorily when I bother to update smarttube and pair it with the code.

The whole platform is trash these days compared to the original gen 1 experience. I went from living in the future, only using my phone to watch TV 10 years ago, to slowly migrating back to a fucking remote control like it's 1980 again. Say what you want, but the promise that gen 1 Chromecast delivered on has been dead and buried for a while now.

I've ranted about this so much to people close to me. Scientific community just needs to adopt a new word like you say, theory is a lost battle

Same way all the other stores do? With your card number

Bombarded with love and huge genuine smiles from the kids, hands visible? Yeah dude is doing something right

I've been a big fan of Thor since his first shorts boom, but this take is a massive fucking L from him that I'm very sad to see.

Because fake blood doesn't exist right?

Yes and it's also terrible. It goes without saying really

I pirated it. It worked, I didn't run into any bugs like 1.0, and I had fun, on my steam deck no less. I didn't finish and I might go back to it at some point, but that doesn't say as much for the game as it does my attention span. I rarely finish games. I'd go as far as to recommend it now based on what I played.

I maintain that I'm glad they were able to fix it and market the improvements earnestly. They made good on their initially bad project, and that should be applauded.

RuneScape was just a series of typing exercises for me. Eventually I got an auto typer but I'd still throw in my own messages to try to throw off the bot detection

Playing Mario 64 with a d-pad is just as bad now as it was on the DS

Wish we had this instead of a growling guy in a mask headbutting a clown

Missed the joke, did not include a pun.

The best conspiracy ever conceived was the one that convinced people that conspiracies are absurdist caricatures of the very real threat of collusion.

All these crazy conspiracies just weaken the perception of the mundane real ones.

If I was gonna conspire, the first step would be to trivialize the idea in the first place.

Nah that trash isn't touching my phone unless I'm homeless and starving

Was coverage CNN exclusive or what? How does that make any sense? Put all the media companies in there with cameras. How do we have better media presence on an Apple keynote than the presidential debate

Nah he's just an average American. this shit is on fire

Never buy chain pizza at menu price. They all run specials all the time, that are around half off. They keep menu prices high so that they can constantly run buy one get one promos and specials to make you think you're getting a deal. They also happen to gouge people who won't bother checking the deals section

Wonder if that strictly means lessons learned in development, or if it hints at onboard processing like a Quest. I've been more impressed with smaller headsets like bigscreen than standalone units lately

You also need to factor in opportunity cost or concede that your free time doesn't have value.

If you value your free time at the same rate that you work hourly, then suddenly it's very hard to save money by spending more time. If you value free time as overtime equivalent, it gets even worse.

Fwiw the switch is also significantly more portable. I love my deck but I only use it at home in bed or on the couch. I wouldn't really try using it in public.
