  • Couldn’t agree more. Consoles not being upgradable is the reason why I exclusively play PC games.

    It’s no surprise that the 32X failed; I don’t know what Sega was thinking when they decided to go back to a sound chip after everyone already got used to PCM audio with the Sega/Mega CD. I think if the Sega CD was delayed long enough to add a 3D accelerator, they could have canceled both the 32X and Saturn, dropped the upgraded Mega CD in 1994 for $249, and absolutely dominate the 5th gen before the PlayStation ever got a chance.


  • Ad companies are never going to regulate themselves—it’s like hoping for heroin dealers to write drug laws.

    Actually, I think that’s a good idea. Everyone already knows that banning recreational drugs only makes more people want to try them. And seeing how the legal weed system in my home state is controlled entirely by a handful of billionaires who artificially keep prices high, I think it would be a lot wiser to put legalization in the control of the common people.

    What a terrible analogy.


  • Every. Fucking. Night.

    Having anxiety sucks.

    Edit: I’ve even set redundant alarms, yet I still worry that both my phone and watch will die in the middle of the night. Surely doesn’t help that it has already happened once before. Forgot to charge my watch one night, and then YouTube overheated my phone and somehow killed my battery while it was plugged into a 25w rapid charger. (They need to fix that bug already; YT will randomly overheat my phone at least once a month. This has been happening for at least 5 years now.)








  • Hey I wasn’t trying to hate; if it works for you that’s great.

    I don’t game on my phone, either (also have a PC for that), but I’m also impatient. Anything that can lead to UI sluggishness is going to be an instant do-not-buy for me. I want my apps to install and open instantly; hell, I get frustrated even if the phone takes more than 10 seconds to boot, especially since I’m already used to my PC booting nearly instantly.

    My impatience is something I seriously need therapy for.


  • Looks like it’s actually the XCover 8 that is is coming out soon.

    Looked into the specs and it’s no wonder why it doesn’t sell. It’s worse than my 4-year-old device. Sucks that you have to sacrifice on performance to gain durability. I rather just buy a 2-year-old flagship and get an accidental damage coverage plan for it.










  • Modern pizza originates in the US, so I don’t know why the fuck anyone would go to Italy and expect it to be better.

    To be fair, it was Italian immigrants who invented what we know as pizza today, but Chinese immigrants also brought Chinese food to America as well—and if you go to China expecting the same kind of food there, prepare to be disappointed (especially if you don’t live in an area with a large Asian population. I do so I can assure you that authentic Chinese is completely different. Same for pizza.)

    Edit: Why are you booing me? I’m right.
