When I emulated Metal Gear Solid 3 my PS3 controller came in clutch with the pressure sensitive face buttons.

When you post a comment it shows up whether it is a new or old account instead of having to meet some karma requirement. Also third party apps are very nice over being pushed to use some bloated ad filled official app.

Explains why I don’t like eating out and never cared for paying for stuff like the ambiance even at fancy restaurants and prefer take out.

Patience is a virtue

I see YouTube style as the ones that are formulic with the plea to like and subscribe segue to sponsor and the obviously algorithm driven increased lengthen followed by the same tired robotic plea for interaction which is pretty much every big YouTube channel or wannabe big channel.

Doesn’t help that search pushes up those type of channels and shoves smaller channels just uploading content just to share something.

I’m pretty lucky not liking most YouTube style content these days, so don’t consume too much of it like I used to. Lot of the creators feel like AI with the same phrase of if you are new to the channel like and subscribe and ring the notification bell…blah blah blah. And then drag out info that can be said in a minute into a 10 minute long ramble for the algorithm.

YouTube these days is more for music or checking out a part of a game I’m stuck on these days from a creator with like 1 sub putting up a 10 second long clip that gets straight to the point. Those guys are the heroes over the 5+ minute long uploads of the same content in comparison that has you have to dig into the comments to find where to skip to.

I was playing the demo over and over before I finally got the full game this year.

YouTube is unwatchable for me without sponsorblock so I’ve liked the newpipe forks that include. And on desktop I love freetube because it goes further and lets me block channels.

I default to safari with an adblocker for YouTube and bought the sponsorblock extension so can autoskip stuff too.

I don’t watch twitch, but on F-droid for Android there is an app called twire that might be worth checking out.

Yeah, seems like a more recent thing. Like if there were a bunch of varying ages then I’d just go males or females, but because of how meanings change I just don’t use it anymore to not even risk the chance of offending someone. If they find it offensive than who am I to say it isn’t. So I just removed it from my vocab outside of science, since I don’t want to deal with the drama.

Or just graduate high school and get a job that let’s you own a home.

I’m going to guess good old days is probably more possibility of getting a job that provided you with enough income to also buy a house and live comfortably. Maybe not have to take out decades long loans if you are able to get a mortgage and not get into massive debt if you decide to pursue education, and it actually made you stand out due to there not being a huge over saturation of university grads.

Assuming based off what is considered a failure according to The Simpsons during the early seasons. Homer the big failure making enough single income to have a two story home and car and kids and a dog and cat off a high school education with a regular salary man job. And the baby boomers with their properties.

I like to use steam deck when I travel. Denuvo can refuse to launch without internet connection to reactivate a license. Also if you exceed 5 activations in a day you can’t play the game for 24 hours. This includes switching which proton version you use to launch the game, which is sometimes necessary if something like the audio doesn’t work properly on the default.

Get a steam deck and you’ll see why.

According to Mass Effect Asari are considered adults by around a 100 years. So 100.

No need for game pass when I already got a collection already.
