Playing tomb raider for basically the first time. I’m so glad we’ve figured out better movement in games than tank controls. Controlling Lara is like having a nightmare where you try to run from danger but forget how to walk #playstation #retrogaming

My #playstation offering me a credit card can’t be a positive indicator for the economy

If the $1000 #steammachine price leak is remotely close, it’s way too much and will be as big of a failure as when they tried it in 2014.

For double the price of a console, it adds barely any value above it. A console and a steam deck is cheaper and gets you access to the same games.

Unethical. Immoral. Hypocritical.

Tim Sweeney spends years fighting #google and #Apple for rent seeking behaviors only to enable it on their own platform. At least Google and Apple tried to protect their users from predatory practices like these. #enshittification rules everything around me […]

I bought an #xbox One S this Christmas and $160 for a bunch of games that work going back to original Xbox is a great deal but it’s clear to see how unserious a company #microsoft is. The damn thing barely works. Remote Play has a whole host of bugs and probably works 1/3 times without having to […]

Watching MegaLag’s #honey Exposé. I’m wondering how they find enough people lacking ethics to be able to code their extension to behave in all these shady ways.

I suppose abusing overseas workers and threats of lawsuits and NDAs. The same ways most rich people steal to increase their wealth

Even my wife asked me if I heard that one of the co-creators of Call Of Duty died. Just shows how influential the early #cod series was. Wish we could go back to that time in online #gaming

The #enshittification of the web is at a new high. JavaScript ads have become as intrusive if not even more so than the pop up ads of the early web. Using the internet on a mobile device is nearly impossible if it doesn’t have an adblocker

I’d probably pay $50 for mobile ports of the golden age (MW era) #callofduty games. Been considering getting an Xbox just so I could play them via remote play

Playing #arcraiders and this dude doesn’t even have a chance to loot me, why down another player in this scenario?

#RIP Meathead. What a career #robreiner had. My favorite being All in the Family. It wasn’t afraid to teach lessons that I feel like we could learn again today.

The IRS ending Directfile is infuriating. Taking money out of American pocket to put in the pockets of private tax preparers

Great talk between the youtuber Jared Henderson and @pluralistic about “How the Internet got So Bad”. Anyone who is already on the #fedi already knows our struggle as users against big tech #enshittification but I am still compelled to share it.

What the people really wanted was a really big really thin phone that has to wear a fanny pack to get decent battery life. And nobody wants a phone in the 5” range anymore. Thank you #Apple for giving the people what they want! I miss my iPhone 13 mini. (Sadly it took a swim this summer)

I recently signed up for privacybee. It was more pricey than some of the other #dataprotection services that are sponsored by YouTubers (not to mention not be a spam sponsor means they are probably less shady in the first place) but seems to have more services than them as well. What does the […]

#chatgpt has gotten to the point where it now pretends to work and tells me it will send me the document I asked it to generate later. I assume it must be browsing cat memes instead of actually doing what I told it to do

If you cold call me with a sales pitch and try to spoof a local number to get me to answer. I will add you to a black list of businesses I’ll never do business with.

I got my SCART cables for my PS2. 👀😮 I have heard people talk about the video quality over composite but I didn’t know it’d be that significant #playstation #ps2 #retrogaming

Moms are a miracle. My kids remind me how grateful I ought to be for my mother and definitely how grateful I am for my wife. #mothersday #thankyoumom

I just finished #halflife Blue Shift last night. It was a lot of fun. I loved how it connected to both Half-Life and Opposing Force. I really like the story, it's just a shame it's so short. I beat it in just two play sessions

I've chronicled the journey I took building my ultimate #Windows98 Gaming PC (pictured in my profile cover image) in my latest blog post. Read about it here: https://www.kmstrube.net/blog/14

The stack of burnt install and driver discs just sitting out on the desk is the accent piece that all #retrocomputing enthusiants have

Just finished #halflife Opposing Force last night. I really liked the combat compared to Half-Life but the final boss was just so overwhelming after how intense the final third of the game immediately proceeding it was #retrogaming #pcgaming

A new Any% Warpless WR for #supermariobros3 by #mitchflowerpower

First sub 50! I always love to see this great game perfected even more! #speedrunning #retrogaming
