I switched to Cloudflare. Squarespace wasn't going to work for me.

Gotta start up those assembly lines again somehow. It's a sacrifice I'm sure they're willing to make.

I'm kicking myself for not getting a picture of it, but somewhere driving around town there's a GENTOO license plate with a Lexus plate frame around it.

Like this

...It's a Gentoo Lexus

They did give people 3 years of advance notice that would happen, to be fair. Much better than the one month warning this would have been.

I'm sure I'll return to Pop eventually, maybe on the next release, but right now I'm struggling to get everything I want out of it with my hardware.

I really want HDR, especially in Helldivers, but I can't seem to get in in Linux with my hardware.

True, I guess there was more of an incentive to Microsoft accounts than just capes

People didn't care as much for some reason. They got a free cape and most were happy with that. You also weren't going to lose your Minecraft account for living in the wrong country 🤷‍♂️

 
 

Is it the age of the game? Is it the generation of the console you play on? Is it a combination of the two?

I recently learned about an ongoing commercial development scene for the NES long past when Nintendo dropped official support for it, and it got me wondering about this. There are new games still being published for the NES that I can buy as a physical cartridge. I bought one last month in person from a physical store.

It feels retro to play this game on original hardware, but in reality it didn't exist until 2021. Does the fact I can play it on an NES make it retro, or does the game being only 2 years old mean that it's clearly not?

On the other hand, classic games are re-released in collections on modern systems all the time. These games definitely feel retro, but the console you're playing on certainly isn't.

Is there anywhere a line can be definitively drawn here, or is retro gaming more of a feeling than something that can be locked down to one definition? I wanted to get some opinions on this, what do you guys think?
