Consoles are a joke now.

I totally abandoned consoles in 2006 right before the release of the PS3 and never looked back. My shiny new 8800 GTX was a much better use of that cash.

20 years later and my gaming backlog spans decades. All of which are perfectly playable today.

It’ll take a few more assassinations Luigi-like incidents before any oligarchs start taking us serfs seriously.

Thanks. I left Handbrake rendering in there overnight. My poor nvme SSD.

Same. This 7a might be my last stock Pixel OS.

I miss when Google was small, fun and gave us what we wanted. I still have my Nexus One somewhere.

Enshitification took over.

Yeah it’s a typo. I posted this late.

Yep. And the filter is as clean as the day it was installed.

Who wants food chunks flying around the dishwasher?

The land of the CCP is the last place I’d expect to see FOSS AI agents. Good for them! Beats the hell out of our greedy bastards in the United States.

Bronson Brosnan, Moore and Connery are my Bond trifecta.

I lost interest after Brosnan Brosnan and haven’t seen another Bond film since Die Another Day in 2002. I’m cool with it.

I can agree that part 3 might be the best one as an adult, but as a child that flying DeLorean and hoverboard was the shit in part 2 even though it did have a darker tone.

Dang. Back in high school my best friend and I wore out the MAME emulator playing sunset riders and countless other classics. Fuck, I’m old.

Believe it or not there was a time when all games on all consoles shipped 100% complete. No patches necessary.

Now it’s about maximizing quarterly earnings and seeing how far you can screw the customer before they leave your product and ecosystem altogether.

Greed-fueled enshitification.

I’m sick of it.

I had zero things in common with my high school classmates. Even before cell phones were ubiquitous, I saw all of them as reckless and incompetent. I identified more with the teachers. They seemed normal and level headed for the most part.

Yeah I know of at least one company in the US already planning on doing this with passenger service.

The headline is bogus clickbait.
