Oh man, this is a dream come true.

2 was such a blast I probably rented the game from my local movie rental chain enough to actually buy the game.

Especially hot after the newest Ninja Gaiden 2 release. It’s almost a lost art having games with such a pure focus on action. It’s like a Michael Bay movie, you’re not watching/playing for the story, you’re playing for the adrenaline rush.

I got a two player paper and pencil space RPG recently, I’ll have to give this a spin during me and my partner’s play session!

I say this not to be reactionary or pro trump.

Is there no way to use lesser nodes for wider applications? While there are processes that need as much speed as possible, I feel like what gives Taiwan semiconducting industries such great business is the fact that code optimization isn’t as cost effective as the latest and greatest chips.

I HOPE these tariffs inspire better, more secure code to make less efficient chips more viable. Like a lemon to lemonade situation.

Im glad DeepSeek open sourced their model. Even if the goal was to destabilize US companies, I think it’s a blessing the tools can go to anyone with a “powerful enough” computer.

And to be really honest, I don’t like what the tech companies have done with AI in such a short amount of time. I’m glad they are getting the piss beaten out of them. All these AI companies will do whatever it takes to destroy human labor pools so they can absorb a fraction of our wages.

The sad part is, they are after a fraction of a wage that is already undervalued. We are all struggling because of corporate greed anyway.

It’s ok friend. Nothing wrong with it, it’s our version of an older person holding on to a newspaper article about their loved one.

Thank goodness we knew them

I’ve got two friends that can’t log in anymore. I feel your pain. It sucks a lot for sure. I enjoyed the article, thank you for posting.

One thing I wished they would have explored a little more was the psychological effects these memorial pages have on those left behind. Part of what helped me fully grieve and accept the loss was to eventually stop going to the pages. I guess in some way a false hope kinda starts taking root, at least it was that way for me

I honestly want one of these so bad. From the design aesthetics to the well reviewed game experiences, it’s a nice change of pace to the normal paradigm of console/pc/retro devices

Umm, correct me if this seems like a bad take…but is there a need for a new console generation considering the overlap of the xbone/ps4 with this gen? Only the Nintendo Switch is in dire need of a hardware upgrade, especially with handheld gaming computers like Steam Deck offering much needed competition.

Of course, I’m all about non invasive spy wear! If you get one, just remember to temper your expectations! It will get there….eventually <3

Hopefully you will have fun! It isn’t too much trouble to set up, and it has some pretty cool apps!

So Pine 64 has a PineTime watch that is pretty nifty if people want sans spying techwear. Very basic and very alpha/beta mode…but it gets better every so often! More people use it or know about it, the more development it gets!

So Microsoft is one of the most valuable companies in the entire world. They have a stranglehold on corporate America, power a huge the cloud infrastructure, hold one of the largest sources of telemetry/user data, and are the defacto standard of PC environments worldwide.

Why in the fuck do they need to pivot to ads? I’m genuinely curious. Even if they lost 50% of their entire business they would still be one of the most profitable companies in the world.

Can’t wait to get it onsale on Steam! I already paid full price on Switch so they ain’t getting extra lol

I feel like this is ripe for abuse. I’m sure insurance companies purchase this data to screw their customers in some wicked way

Holy smokes! I was an avid TikTok person for music before they enshittified it with ads and the shop features. Can’t wait for Loops!

Not surprising. Proton seems to be exploiting the niche of “privacy” . I haven’t seen anything to the contrary other than turning over metadata due to court order.

A lot of it has to do with Texas having the Gulf of Mexico ports all along the coast. It’s a big reason petrochemical refining is so big in Texas. Another plus for Texas is it’s abundance of land they can either buy or imminent domain. Now don’t get me wrong I’m not a Texas supporter, but it’s just one of those location based decisions I’m sure.

Not to mention if your a business in Texas you usually only get slaps on the wrist when you poison the environment. Worker safety? Mostly dependent on company policy with the main focus just barely making OSHA compliance. If the fine is cheaper than compliance, a lot of companies just pay the fine if it happens.

Holy smokes that’s fucking wild. Reading that article sucked. I’m really happy for the indie passion projects that aren’t affected by this industry downturn as much.

AA games needs to come back, all these AAA and “AAAA” games are just ballooning costs and now the bubble has bursted.

The only one I’ve played is Metal Slug 4 , which is pretty fun. Any bangers y’all recommend?

I actually use funkwhale now for music. It’s really decent so far. A little buggy though, but it should iron out
