Not bad for first wave RVA23 chips. Solid for SBC/minipcs. Build momentum from here

The Internets got to be worse thing to happen to the European and American civilian psyche. It’s like constant surprise that genocide and slavery spanned over 600 years of colonialism and imperialism may have a great deal more to do with our wealthy lifestyles rather than the last 50 years of relatively not so over the top slavery. Muh scandanavian democratic socialism built off centuries of violent oppression of labor and theft around the world. Modern day Israel does the dirty work while Europeans try to act like they haven’t been benefactors all this time and now the same with countries like Rwanda and their neighbors

If you’re paying the cheapest $11/m for 5 years, that’s $660. PS6 rumored 2028. 8 years since PS5 2020, $1056. Console itself $500+ since 2020. Expensive now but before the ram and storage shortage, it has been the case of PC gaming being the best value as long as you don’t care to hit the max settings in every game. Couch gaming, my PC is hooked up to my TV, Steam Big Picture auto starts and I use a bunch of 8bitdo gamepads

LibreOffice with the tabbed interface. I think the tabbed interface is mature enough that it should be the default interface

My standard orders are cabeza and abobada or al pastor. Whatever the taco shop has listed

MS is bad against competent competition. The only thing that saved Windows from MacOS is that Apple doesn’t license that out to third party hardware makers. But now I’m certain Linux distros will continue to push forward towards mainstream acceptance and same for LibreOffice against MS Office

Great comment. I heard of Tainted Grail and plan to buy eventual. The other 2 are new to me and look intriguing

I have 4 8bitdo Ultimate 2C gamepads. 2 Nintendo layout and 2 Xbox layout. They feel better than the Series X standard gamepad I had before. My oldest is 2 years old. Durable for me but I don’t smash the buttons and sticks anywhere near as hard as possible like I’ve seen other people do when gaming. Like video game road ragers

I started with Linux off and on back during windows 8. Don’t be trapped in the whims of Microsoft’s profit motive. It’s easier today than ever. Fedora KDE and rely mostly on the flatpak/rpm software store GUI. At this point I’m comfortable enough to not care whether it’s debian, fedora, or arch based. Firefox, Steam, and Flatpaks cover 99% of my GUI program needs

I’m long behind on Android development. I stopped not long after Google promoted Kotlin as the primary language for Android development. I really liked Kotlin though. Still these days, I’d probably go with react native or flutter. I always hear about people using those and see job postings for those in regards to android. I’d be interested in using Kotlin Multiplatform and hoping that builds up momentum and becomes super successful

Maybe 2030. I feel like everyone’s hoping things are priced better by 2030

Pretty major draw of Dragon Quest is how little it changes. It’s comfort food to me. I’d be disappointed if they made any major shakeups. They can do the unthinkable and give a Dragon Quest sized budget to a new IP or acquire the Blue Dragon IP and make that the experimental IP with a pretty static game to game tone and themes

I get if you’re buying 5080 and up hardware, there’s no other competitors there. 5070 and lower, buy AMD or Intel. 9070 (xt) are great graphics cards. The 9060xt is great. You can go down to 7600xt, A770, B580, etc and have a graphics card very capable of gaming and they work straight out the box. No proprietary driver frictions. I use a 9070. I’ll be good for another 5+ years. GPU upgrade. Maybe a CPU upgrade since I’m AM5 based. No motherboard/memory changes and considering the next consoles are likely to be based on Zen 6, I’ll be right with them just with a stronger CPU

Keepassxc and whatever I’m using off f droid for Android. Then is sync with proton drive. Works well for me. I do the same for my one time password backups. You don’t even need to pay for a subscription to proton. These are small files. Free version is good enough

Again, it’s not early access. It’s the general release date. Anyone can get access for $120. It is a general release date

Should go back to the days of having good self hosted servers and a server browser. Can still have matchmaking and even peer to peer multiplayer, but we should be able to self host servers and build communities for games we play

They make less money/do a worse job at selling subscriptions by making windows less like windows. They’ll inevitably get back to full bore bleeding that cow for more money

Well that was fast. Going to be great to try it out when I get one

Xbox Series X. I sold it right when Starfield early access hit and it wasn’t an Internet darling. Knew it was downhill from there. Before that by the end to 2020, they Bought Obsidian, Inxile, Bethesda/Zenimax, iD, Ninja Theory, and studios I thought would make a major quality jump like Compulsion games. I thought they’d be releasing awesome RPG games every year by 2021. That didn’t pan out

Before that, Xbox and GameCube had so little compared to the PS2 but still had great games unique to themselves. PSP was fun but definitely was happier when I switched to the DS

99% of the time I don’t need a full pcie4/5 x4 speed. I’d be happy with like one pcie4 x4 m.2 slot and then a bunch of x1 slots. That to me would be a suitable replacement for 2.5" drives currently
