That’s what I’m hoping for as well. The Switch is a great console and the only thing it really needs is upgraded hardware.

I don’t know how relevant this is to you but I was looking at getting a Boox since it would easily let me read my Kindle and Kobo books on a single device without any hassle. However, it achieves this by running their apps so the books are segregated. There’s no one library with all your books. Your Kindle books are only on the Kindle app, your Kobo books are only on the Kobo app, your library books are only on the Libby app.

It sounded really tedious to have to flip between a bunch of different apps to track all my books so I decided to just stick with Kobo.

Her quote never really felt that outrageous. She wasn’t even calling all Trump supporters “deplorable”. Here’s her quote

“You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right?” Clinton said. “The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic—you name it. And unfortunately there are people like that. And he has lifted them up.” She said the other half of Trump’s supporters “feel that the government has let them down” and are “desperate for change.” “Those are people we have to understand and empathize with as well,” she said.

Reminds me of the Trump supporter that was surprised when her undocumented husband got deported.

This and the Nike ad have been the worst ads during the Olympics.

I bought a SteamDeck as a way to test and see what works and what doesn’t on Linux. So far all my games have run with no issues.

I’m likely going to be posting and searching through a lot of Linux forums as Win10 gets closer to EOL.

This is what I’m going to have to do as well since my computer isn’t compatible with Win11. The only thing I’m worried about is gaming.

That was the exact same thing I was thinking while looking at that list.

I didn’t realize you could put the steam deck to sleep with a game still running. I had assumed it would cause game issues.

Quest 64 really brings me back. I haven’t thought about that game in a long time.

When I think about what I would do if I suddenly found myself transported to another world, the last thing I would be doing is looking for a job as a mercenary. As stupid as a lot of the plot is, I really like Striving for a Luxury Liner simply because the MC recognizes that he’s not cut out to be an adventurer and becomes a merchant instead.

The only isekai I’ve read that properly utilized the isekai genre was Release that Witch since the MC’s “cheat” is his knowledge of mechanical engineering. He kicks off his own little industrial revolution to defend his territory.

My main critique of the genre is how lazy it’s done. There’s nothing wrong with having the MC reincarnated, transported, or made overpowered. One Punch Man has a massively overpowered MC but it’s still really good. The problem is that they’re all low effort cookie cutter stories that are just checking items off a list.

They’re also fairly unrealistic. “Gasp…is this that isekai thing I’ve been reading about? I guess I’ll go join the Adventurer Guild and get a super dangerous job killing monsters despite the fact that I’ve never been in a dangerous situation before.”

There’s no way all these random people will just calmly accept finding themselves in another world with no freaking out or depression setting in first.

That is definitely way too invasive. Plugging something on to a Roku TV shouldn’t enable them to show you ads through that other device.

I was actually thinking about getting a Roku once too. Really dodged a bullet.

It sucks because I was looking forward to the game since I liked the first DD but after seeing all the micro transactions they added into a single player game I’m going to pass on it.

This is one of the gaming things I’ve never actually done. I almost always just take the default character and jump into the game. The most I’ll do is cycle through a few presets if they have it.

How is it getting better battery life? Are OLEDs more energy efficient or does it have a bigger battery?

Smurfs 2?!?! I didn’t even know there was a Smurfs 1.

It also seems like she’s claiming Israel is part of the USA. I hadn’t realized we annexed them…

I just created an account there and when it came time to add books, a whole bunch of books I read didn’t even show up. I’ll have to look more into it when I have more time.

It was awhile ago but I read that a lot of streaming services don’t make a profit and I can understand the logic. With ads, there is a direct link between a show and it’s profits. The more people watch a show, the more people see the ads, the more a company can charge for ads on that show. Without ads it becomes difficult. It doesn’t matter if 100 people watch or a million, the profits are the same.

I feel it’s inevitable that streaming services are going to go back to ads. It’s the better business model.
