Raspberry Pi's can be used in shitloads of different ways and can function as entire computers while these handhelds are used exclusively to play old video games.

I've been thinking of trying a handheld out as my CFW Switch's battery barely lasts and contrary to what everyone says, PS Vita's suck for emulation.

Not a big social media person but I've been a huge fan of the platform. Feels like OG era Twitter with none of the current bullshit you see on X.

Smartphones becoming affordable + social media platforms going unregulated was the worst thing to happen to the country.

lets stop chasing the past please and move forward

I'm 100% in support of this but I can't fault people for wanting to back to certain eras. It feels like pop culture stopped at a certain point and we've been in this extended era where all culture is just recycling tropes here and there.

Cryptolocker virus that locked your files and demanding payment to unlock them.

In all fairness you have to be pretty damn stupid to get viruses these days

You computer already logs everything you do though. That's what computers do.
All this does is act like a more specific version of system restore.

I can't think of any real-world situation where I would need to use an exorbitant amount of processing power and data to turn back time on my PC.

Like who in the actual fuck is any of this meant for

It's just been announced the wreckage was found

I find the timing of this trend very, uh....

I'm not buying it.

Modern TV writers often times come from privileged backgrounds and don't really have much experience with the real world so this makes some sense

Actual hardware - Conker's Bad Fur Day, 2005

Emulation - today lol

It's gonna be rough in my shitty apartment. The electricity is so fucked that you can't have more than a few high-power electronics/appliances operating at once before you blow a fuse. I can't even imagine what using an air conditioner will do.

And it looks like ass

Donkey Kong Country 2

The next time you play it, try the DX rom hack which adds color, removes lag and improves sound.

I stumbled upon the video and it looked like he was just showing the gun off and acting like an idiot before it went off

I really want to know what this one was so please reveal/pm me the answer if no one gets it soon.

If you're the type of person to vote against your best interests in a situation like that, you should just be replaced with automation.

For reasons that are not nice to bring up in today's current climate, Elon Musk has a bizarre fixation with the letter X and has used it a number of times in the past.

Being worked into a shoot is a perfect way to describe the past decade of sociopolitical discourse

It's called Deadlock. Looks like a Valorant/Overwatch clone with tower defense mechanics. Has an aesthetic that looks like Half Life 2 + Dishonored. Characters look Fortnite-ish.

Pics from some kind of older build are making the rounds.

It recently got leaked that Nintendo's been referring to it as "New Nintendo Switch" and "Switch 2" when in talks with Sega and other publishers.

I'm honestly surprised these shitfucks haven't tried to spin this as housing the homeless.

They probably don't even like that because their hard-earned tax dollars are housing and feeding them. With these types of people you have to always assume they lack a lot of human traits and the basic ability to empathize.

This dude doesn't even deserve to be humanized

I thought early leaks happened via brick and mortar stores that handed over the games ahead of release dates

That was a big deal too. But this has been consistent throughout the Switch's entire lifespan. Like I can't think of a single first-party game that didn't get leaked online and downloaded onto hacked Switches.

They're probably trying to curb leaks and piracy. Literally every major Switch game ended up getting leaked online and available on devices with custom firmware days and sometimes weeks in advance due to online retailers shipping orders earlier than expected.

Installing software without using the App Store or Google Play store.

Being worthwhile.

Since both OS's are pretty on-par now, what makes you say this?

I've been increasingly thinking about switching to Android once my phone kicks the bucket but I'm still on the fence.

iOS now has proper file browsing, the App Store is a lot more lax and now has full-fledged emulators on it, sideloading and third-party app store support is being slowly rolled out, RCS messaging support is apparently being rolled out this Fall.

I'm not gonna acknowledge "you can customize themes" because that really hasn't been a thing in years and most custom themes look like ass

On second thought that did come off weird. Just using my mother's job as an example, she's in a well-funded district that's never been understaffed and has more than enough resources available at a moment's notice. For underfunded schools the lack of resources and competent/motivated staff is clearly a huge issue, but from what I hear on a consistent basis, the larger elephant in the room seems to be a combination of younger people becoming progressively dumber, less social, and more cruel while their parents seem to turn a blind eye and become combatitive whenever the finger is pointed at them.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

The problem has nothing to do with schools lacking resources or funding and everything to do with schools being terrified of liability and litigation while non-tenured staff are being paid so increasingly little that they have no reason to care about their job.

My mother's been working in a well-funded district for years where you'd expect there to be no problems, yet they're facing the same issues as schools nationwide. I consistently hear the most insane stories you can imagine. Students are borderline illiterate, can't communicate, and are outrageously disrespectful towards their peers and staff alike. Teachers have to walk on eggshells during conferences or behavioral meetings because parents lose their minds at the simple thought of their children not being viewed as anything other than a well-behaved genius.

I never got into it because of the time limit. Always made me anxious as a kid.

Zero tolerance bullying policies have been complete horse shit since their inception. Absolute shame what happened to this kid.
