Oh good I still haven’t upgraded from the last generation. I may just skip this one at this point, the only games I feel like I’m missing out on are the new Spider-Man and the unreleased GTA VI

It’s time for a new console generation already?

You must be younger than me. I grew up in the 90s and the Sega/Nintendo rivalry was intense.

I think it was the SNES/Genesis era when “who has the better graphics” started to matter.

At the time, I was actually of the opinion that the N64 was a step down from the SNES. Sure the graphics were 3D, but they looked like shit even then. Nintendo really fucked up by sticking with cartridges that generation.

I’m with ya. When it’s gaming time, I just want it to work. I don’t want to be fiddling with settings constantly.

That being said, I do prefer RPGs and RTSs much more with a keyboard and mouse, so I’ll usually play those on my computer, but that’s not such a problem any more with keyboard and mouse being supported by consoles.

Nah, it was Coleco/Atari - Coleco lost

Then Nintendo/Atari - Atari lost

Then Sega/Nintendo

Then Sega/Nintendo/Sony - Sega lost

Then Nintendo/Sony/Microsoft - Nintendo lost, but pivoted to play a different game.

Then you can throw things in there like 3DO and Jaguar Turbo FX, but they didn’t do so got to be considered contenders in the “war”

I made it before that was a thing. Habit I guess. 🤷‍♂️

Before. “Couple weeks” is more like 5 months at this point now that I think about it.

I don’t mind some of it much, but the obvious culture-war bait is infuriating.

It’s not because the movie just came out. I’ve been diligent about keeping Facebook and Reddit in their container tabs for years. It’s just Marvel stuff, not just the movies. Marvel’s been putting out huge movies for years and this hasn’t happened around any of their other releases.

Nah I’m sure.

I never once saw a post about Marvel fed to me by Facebook and now it’s constant

I don’t even want my car to have a touch screen!

Im sure the budding EV home brew community will get an OS going here soon

I know Facebook and Reddit are in cahoots.

I went to visit Reddit a couple weeks back to read the Deadpool & Wolverine comments, but used the wrong container tab and now Facebook feeds me endless Marvel related stuff.

A lot of it is culture war bullshit too. Hmmmmm 🤔

Probably by taking down the companies doing it rather than the people using them. Just set up an account and ask around for where to buy some likes.

“I put 100 hours in to chapter 2 after I beat this game. It’s terrible.”

🙄

I’m going to the store to buy a pie now

I would still eat that

Torrenting itself is not illegal. The distribution of copyrighted material that you don’t own is the illegal part.

Oh shit it’s meow meow beans

That’s pretty sick actually

Still gets security updates. All the software I need to run on it runs on it.

My email, desktop, and calendar all still sync with my newer desktop. I can still play StarCraft. I can join zoom meetings while running Roll 20. I can even run Premiere and do video editing… to a point.

I guess if you need the latest and greatest then you might have a point, but I don’t.

This whole thread is bitching about software bloat and Apple does that to stop the software bloat on older machines, but noooo that’s planned obsolescence. 🙄

Weren’t you just complaining about software bloat?
