  • Lost mine because for a few months a year the sun beam would hit the boxes, a few years of that, no more ps1/ps2 games.

    I’m fine with digital media, if the system goes down I’ve got enough storage for a long time, if it’s longer than that I’m not going to have time for gaming anyways.

    If the service I’m paying to license games removes my licenses (without refunds) I have no problem going back to the seas (something I haven’t done in over a decade, because it’s convenient enough to support the developers I want to support)









  • An increase in temperature also increases the evaporation rate of water. rain storms will be more intense, but just because the atmosphere holds more water doesn’t mean it won’t also be releasing more water.

    Venus isn’t at all comparable to Earth… That’s a literal crazy comparison. If Earth received 30% more solar radiation, didn’t have ocean heat sinks (I most worry about global warming because of the cccd rising, not about “where are we going to get water from”, between using fossil fuels for combustion to make energy, and the elimination of calcium carbonate life forms in the ocean, we’re going to asphyxiate long before we dehydrate, or over hydrate, or whatever we’re worried about from the water)

    More extreme water patterns doesn’t mean less drinking water.

    Less ocean bio activity means less breathable air.




  • My favorite 3 things of the last decade

    Electric cars, Incredible performance, low maintenance.

    Steam deck, great fun in a small package, great to play games before bed

    Podcasts, seriously there’s one that will speak to you.

    Bonus: taskmaster, it’s entirely free on YouTube, it’s a worldwide phenomena, simple low stakes fun, akin to the great British baking show without the manufactured drama (not that there’s much in gbb)




  • Everything is easy until it isn’t.

    I built my family’s, and my extended families, computers until the early 2010s, I’ll never do it again. Building the computer was fun and easy, being on the hook for tech support is time draining and soul crushing.

    “Sorry Grandma, that cheapest possible 5400 rpm spinning drive is ten years old, you never backed it up, I’m really not the one to ask if you can get the pictures back. Okay we will try getting it to work as an external drive. Okay here we go, show me the folder you keep your pictures in. No this isn’t your desktop, (sign) we don’t need your hard drive to access your cable company provided email, yes the lemonade is wonderful (it’s bitter). Yes Aunt Martha’s cat is adorable.”

    Children think about your future weekends. It’s great being a hero, but with great heroics comes endless responsibilities. There’s ways less entertaining than sex to lose all your free time to helpless family incoherent babbling.
