Texas would be a pretty awesome place, if not for all the Texans. They're insufferable.

This happened near me. It made the rounds on the local Facebook page with a photo of the dog eating the meal.

I'm not a stock market person. I know fuck all about it.

But I've been watching the stock for a while now, and that's the only conclusion I can come to. Someone has to be buying shit loads of the stock to keep it afloat.

The Deck does not "obliterate" the Switch 2

For me it does. But I know that's not objective fact. Just my subjective opinion.

The truth is, if what you want is "newest Nintendo games", well, the Switch 2 is amazing.

I adjusted my mindset on games years ago. There are lots of games that I'd love to play, but because they aren't on PC, I don't play them. Because I already have more games than I could ever play. Hype and FOMO are powerful drugs, ones that I'm not immune to. But I am at least resistant to them.

I'd been a Windows user for around 30 years and I'd probably qualify as a fanboy. I'm sure I hit all seven stages of grief to some extent over Windows' enshittification.

But switching to Linux has given me all the good feelings about my computer. So I'm good now.

For me it's easily the latter.

While the Switch 2 has better hardware, that's only a tiny piece of the value proposition. The Deck is leagues better in value. I guarantee it will be able to play new release games for another 10 years. You can't say that for the Switch 2. It won't be able to play all of the new releases, sure, but thousands more than the Switch 2.

And that's not to mention the tens of thousands of games the Deck can play now that the Switch 2 will never be able to play.

The truth is that hype and FOMO are powerful drugs that push gamers to constantly shell out their hard earned money to chase the newest things.

And, to an extent, I get it. There is something to be said about playing games when they come out and experiencing that moment with other gamers. There's a sort of fraternal feeling about it.

But if you can step back from that and be patient, you can play all the games you have time for and not play into their trap.

That's part of the issue, though. Sometimes they sell trash for high prices, too. Sometimes they sell the same game across three console generations and increase the price.

There are way more issues with Nintendo than just whatever your beef with Smash is.

I fucking teared up when Tarn smiled and showed the camera his secret in the final episode.

They're all such sweet and genuine people who deserve to be happy.

I sit to pee when I get up in the middle of the night. Don't have to be able to see.

What is the part for? What does it do?

I had win 8.1 for a long while. It really wasn't bad. Win 11 is what finally pushed me away from Windows.
