They talk about Apple products, but that’s not something I concern myself about. I just like vibing with Grey’s beautiful mind

He’s still in the Cortex podcast :)

CGP Grey might be one of the most interesting people to ever have lived. I cannot get enough of his podcasts. I still miss Hello Internet dearly.

Welcome to the Jungle?

Yeah, it couldn’t separate the video channels.

YPbPr or RGB cables were essential if you had a compatible monitor. Composite just sucked

There were composite and component cables for these consoles.

My mnemonic device for remembering which of the two that sucked was that: one is called component, and the other is compo-shite :)

1996 is end millennial, and start gen z.

Though, usually if you got hand me downs as a child, you’d get the same experiences as the people born 3-6 years before you.

That said, I’ve that splitting people up and putting them into groups like this is a pseudo science over generalization.

Where in my comment does it state that I don’t pay indie devs?

I spend money on Steam, but I have no illusions* that I’m not owning the things I get there.

I’d much rather have a title on GOG than Steam. At least there I get to keep it.

I was thinking of sites like GOG when I wrote my comment.

I have never heard of a Steam game you could run without having Steam installed

Buy second hand.

In my country first party titles go for $60 and all the way to $90

Second hand prices for these are often between $30 and $40.

And you can always sell those used games, and not really lose much (if any) money in the process.

Ps. Prices will fall even more when Switch 2 comes out next year. Hopefully it will be a repeat of the post-Wii days, where most Wii games were dirt cheap.

I purchased it purely as an all-in-one indie game player for the television, that had a nice form factor. Was easy to connect with controllers, and relatively high-end.

I don’t really like playing on it’s joysticks and buttons, but that doesn’t matter when I only really use it docked.

It’s nice with a relatively high-end console when on the go. I usually bring a controller along for this, though.

It was expensive, but performs exactly as advertised.

Have I got some good news for you then.

One cannot buy digital content with DRM, only rent it.

It’s impossible to regret acquisitions you’ve never made.

Point in case. You can sell on your physical games. Not so much the digital ones.

All that said, I too use Steam, just not mainly anymore.

Edit: Holy smokes did this blow up! I’m happy to drive engagement here on the fediverse, albeit I do believe I struck a nerve. Either that, or some people have poor reading capabilities - I see the comments refuting something I haven’t said.

How much 5,200 ft in average human speech?

I’m so sad that Danish lost Þ. We apparently lost it in speech, by making into a soft D…

In my country it’s called anti-abortion. Is it ever called this in the US? I think it frames it better, as everybody here is pro-living-things

Really considering moving my main computer to Linux with the way things are going

The post clearly asked for the worst names, not the very best /s

I so need an active CD Collectors sublemmy. One of the few things I miss from Reddit

Those discounts are nothing as compared to buying used.

I so hope that the next consoles will have disc drives…
