  • I’m not going to give up, but I’ve really stagnated on upgrades over the past decade.

    I used to get a new phone every year back when you could do that for $100 a year. Now I go five years between.

    My last computer was built in 2012 and I used it until October 2024, and could have kept using it. It was fully upgraded and played all new games on high settings fine. That said, I’m extremely glad I did a new build in October 2024.

    And then you have consoles. One has no exclusives and is dead, the other has two exclusives and is there, and the other is Nintendo and is expensive and has its own lineup issues, depending on who you ask.

    Tech is stagnating hard and has been for a while. Buy the mid range or high end of what you can afford and acquire right now, and then sit on it for a decade.


  • This is exactly it. The Muskrats, Benzos, and Zuccs of the world want people to think that the future is only on the cloud, because it benefits their business.

    The problem with that is that most people are tech illiterate, and will see the cloud as an easy way to just exist with less wires.

    Reading comments from people who just do not care whether they own their software, and now hardware, is alarming.

    It’s people like us who have to be loud about it.




  • Hau and Hop from Pokémon Gen 7 and Gen 8 irrationally piss me off every time I have to deal with them. Hop is better by a lot, but the bar is on the floor.

    I miss when rivals were complete assholes to you. Not morons.

    Also just the general conversation between JD and Del in Gears of War 4. The characters are fine. It’s just that every single step forward is met with some snarky little quip or joke. Every time. It takes so much of the seriousness away that made the first three games, and Judgment, feel so much more immense.
