Yeah, sorry. I post when I can and when things haven't been posted yet.

The same old, tired and stupid control layout and no trackpads. How do you even begin to make a PC handheld and not offer any mouse cursor controls? All the Steam Competitors do is up the specs to stupid numbers and appeal to familiarity. It's both disappointing and something should've expected.

I remember watching V for Vendetta when Obama was president and I actually can't believe the US went from the Obama era to being on the brink of becoming a christofascist nation.

What I'm saying is the timing on these memes about past European imperialism make them look absurd with what's happening in Europe right now. All the countries listed in the meme are helping a country fight back an imperialist, expansionist warmongerer.

There's a lot of newly found natural resources in southern and eastern Ukraine. It's funny how the same "imperialists" are always the butt of the joke while there's an actual, massive imperialist war of conquest happening right now. E: testing if editing federates this.

Even if we choose to ignore how unethical and self-centered this argument is (for any country), a lot of US influence, affluence and indeed global stability right now hinges on the US military might being there to reliably challenge authoritarian aggression on its allies and partners. The second US starts showing cracks in that reliability (with the extremist MAGA wing and all), authoritarian leaders start seeing opportunities to test the waters, literally as well.

This notion somehow assumes that the US achieved and can continue its status disconnected from the rest of the world's security and it's bonkers. Even the otherwise sound argument for increased defense spending in Europe is made moot by the Russo-Ukrainian war as it'll obviously increase spending in Europe. Spending that could be largely funneled in to the US military-industrial complex, recouping from what gets sent if they signal their commitment and keep sending their late cold-war era kit to grind down one of their two most serious threats. Without a single US troop on the ground.

It's hard to think of a bigger foreign policy W for the US with its otherwise controversial bloated military and more fitting use for what's already built for this exact purpose, but it doesn't seem important to the extremist wing.

The Finnish populist right wing has generally been very critical of Russia, especially the leading figure Jussi Halla-Aho. Even though I think some of them have sympathised with the "conservative values" that the Russian leaders like to represent.

The topic of continuing Ukraine support didn't even come up in any debates during elections 'cause everyone's on the same page anyway.

Arrows and emojis have just been so painfully prevalent in thumbnails desperate for attention. I don't actually hold it against GN (or any channel), can't really help that it's what people click. It just seems so "not GN" lol.

Can't watch the video yet but damn, GN does meme arrow thumbnails these days?

167h of Stardew on the Deck here so far and probably wouldn't even play it if Deck didn't make playing games so comfy.

Aside from the bigger battery, the APU got a die shrink (7nm to 6nm). With the same performance target it directly translates to better efficiency.

Apparently "highly limited quantities" is about the Limited Edition model and not all of the OLED models.
