I usually don't reply to someone sharing a record by spoiling their fun saying "vinyl is bad for you" but since someone else brought it up, Benn Jordan did a great video about the off-gassing from vinyl records. It's no scientific conclusion but enough for me to swap to CDs youtu.be/aZ2czFuIYmQ?...

I tried Bazzite but didn't like that the system files were read only. It made it difficult to install software. I swapped to CachyOS and it's been great! I still have windows installed on a separate drive for games that need the anti-cheat support though

It's the Christian baby hypothetical all over again

The dongle I used for my switch 1 doesn't work on my switch 2, but it was also a cheap adapter off of amazon www.amazon.com/dp/B0CYSX2HJ...

I had the idea to ask ChatGPT to decipher this for me and I feel like I need to repent for such a vile thought.

I've been loving Expedition 33's story but I'm also only near the end of Act 1. This makes me so excited to get through the rest of the story!

This is the look of a winner 👑 😍

And this isn't even really about Nintendo. They're going to be fine regardless of what they charge. This is more about smaller indie studios. When Nintendo and other AAA studios start charging $80 for their games, that'll give indies more room to charge $40 or more for theirs.

But Nintendo tries to set a more realistic standard for game prices and now they're greedy... Developers deserve to be fairly compensated for their work, especially when everything is getting more expensive all around the world.

What's crazy to me is that video game prices have been insulated from inflation for a very long time. Games have been $60 for two decades. All the while the video game industry has been eating itself alive for a while now, with mass layoffs and studio closures making headlines all the time.

I always prefer physical games as well, but there's something different about "party games" like Mario Kart, Mario Party, Smash, etc. The convenience of always having them handy when hanging with friends is too much to ignore

I managed to grab a Switch 2 without Mario Kart on Target's website. The bundle sold out in 5 seconds 😭

In other Nintendo Direct news.... HELL YEA PATAPON RERELEASE AND NEW RHYTHM HEAVEN! Great day for rhythm game lovers

If I decide to distro hop again, I'll give Linux Mint a shot. Thanks for the rec

I use Ubuntu on my home server for three years and it works great. Very stable and easy enough to Google-Fu thru most issues. But using it as a desktop/laptop operating system has given me too many problems when I just need a machine that works.

ChromeOS is actually stable. On three different machines, I get constant visual glitches, hiccups, and complete freezes on Ubuntu and Bazzite just trying to use Chrome. Also, I appreciate the deep integration of Google Drive in COS, which is completely lacking a Linux sync client.

Linux users love to pretend that everyone wants to spend an afternoon or longer getting their PC configured with what they need. I say this as someone who got frustrated with Ubuntu and swapped to ChromeOS 💀
