Been looking into these lately after seeing so many posts about them here. I think I’ve just about settled on either this one or the Retroid Pocket 5, they seem to be roughly similar from what I can tell. Looking forward to full reviews of both once they’re available to help make the decision.

Halfway settled on the CubeXX at first, but I think the rectangle screen would be a little more useful than square, and there are a few PS2 and N64 games that I’d love to play and I think it’s too underpowered for that.

According to the side of the Kraft box, I’m a family of 4.

Absolutely, that would have been perfect.

I grew up with the US one. Yours looks better. Classier maybe, more grown up or something. Ours looks like Fisher Price.

Were blades the original UI for Xbox 360 or were they the update? I remember getting a beta invite to try the new UI, I can’t remember whether it was going to or away from blades. But yeah, I liked that one too.

I’ve always been sort of vaguely curious what car company CEOs drive, if/when they aren’t just being chauffeured around in the company limo. Like, what’s in their garage, and if left to their own devices, what would they drive around in to run get groceries or go out to eat or whatever.

Moreso the “regular” car brands than the luxury ones. Like I assume the head of Porsche drives a high end Cayenne or 911 (or both), so that’s less interesting.

But, like, does the CEO of Chevrolet drive a Chevrolet? Does he have a maxed out Suburban? Or does he step up to the Escalade, even if it’s from a different division? Or does he eschew GM entirely and go for the Rolls/Bentley, or a pasta rocket?

In this case, it looks like Ford’s CEO is driving the direct competition, which is interesting. Makes sense, I suppose, though it’s not at all the answer I expected.

Nope, not really, it’s another meme I’ve seen that this reminded me of. Same kind of premise, look at all these dates that overlap kind of thing. Fax machine invented, samurai still a thing, Lincoln still a thing, therefore samurai sent fax to Lincoln.

Since this one brought up the samurai too, I just thought it would be funny to merge them together and have the samurai in this party be that same one that supposedly sent the fax.

Hurry onward, pencil, or you’ll soon be dead!

Was that the samurai that sent a fax to Abraham Lincoln?

And it’s not all either. He’s only going to kill maim the Democrats. And black people. And brown people. And LGBT people. And women. And non-Christians. So, you know, as long as you’re not in one of those groups, you’ll be totally fine. For now. But maybe don’t get too comfortable.

No idea. Yamaha was doing pianos long before they were doing motorcycles, so it can’t be them. I can’t think of a company that started with motorcycles and then moved into pianos.

If I had a nickel for every story I’ve read today about a clemency request in a decades-old shaken baby syndrome case, I’d have two nickels, which doesn’t sound like a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.

I prefer arches, btw.

The public comments were overwhelmingly in favor of full deschedule/legalization, but all he’s pushing for is reschedule to 3, which means they’ll probably go to 2 because fuck you that’s why. Hopefully Harris can lean into it a little harder than Biden has.

Jr Modem Engineer: Hey Steve, what should we do if their Internet is out and they want an https cert that we are unable to find?

Sr Modem Engineer: Well, Frank, glad you asked! We’ll just quietly substitute it with this random janky self-signed certificate for the modem itself instead, I’m sure that’ll solve everything!

Jr: But won’t that just obscure the real problem and overwhelm the user with a bunch of unnecessary and incorrect error messages?

Sr: Sometimes my genius is almost frightening.
