I have the 2DSXL, and have played about half of those. I was just sad it was primarily limited to mostly online (Pushmo’s servers are dead) and first-party titles. I was a GBA/DS kid so expected wider variety beyond that.

It’s a fantastic little device for modding though!

I loved the complement of this where How to Train Your Dragon (the animated one) depicted dragons as cats with wings.

I thought Apple/most smartphones would never move to USB-C, or away from proprietary chargers. Pleasantly surprised - thank you EU.

I thought wireless controllers were going to be a fad, or at least garbage in their reliability/connection strength.

I thought VR was finally going to take off as the next major gaming experience when the Vive came out. Unfortunately it remains niche.

I thought Linux was going to be unusable for gaming/mainstream use cases for much longer, but Valve has made huge strides on that with Proton, and OSS devs making things like Heroic for other stores has been awesome. Also shoutout to KDE for, well, everything. Krita, KDE connect, Plasma. LibreOffice has also come a very long way.

I also thought we’d never get another steam controller. Also pleasantly surprised.

I thought the switch was gonna end up with the same depressing library as the 3DS, if that’s any consolation.

I wish I could search my saved comments on Mlem but there was the two-part story about Father Patrick’s Easter passion play with a life size bread Jesus and realistic effects created with foodstuffs.

It was glorious and will live in my head rent free forever.

No mention of the iPod? Shocking

• One Punch Man
• Sakamoto Days
• FMA: Brotherhood
• Way of the Househusband
• (I haven’t watched it in like 15 years, don’t judge me) Hetalia but that was because I had unmedicated ADHD and was in middle school

Wait. Does Castlevania count? If so I put that as my last entry instead.

Vietnam W

Dammit. I trusted you 😭 I thought it was an article.

Enslave billionaires instead. Make them toil in service to the global human community and the restoration of earth until their blood debts have been repaid.

Religion is too easy a label to throw at someone for ill gain, no matter how self-hating and absurd their beliefs may be.

It’s enshittification fatigue, not innovation.

“What fantastic idea! Here’s a six point plan on how you can implement that — “

Spent the morning with my parents, and chilling for a bit to see a couple specific relatives then dip back home to be with my SO since the whole of my family is…more than I want to deal with on 4 hours sleep lol and I don’t want to drink and drive.

Sounds like you’ve weighed the risk and found something that works for you. Hard to consider that “self destruction,” but I mean, conceptually yes.

Wasn’t War of the Worlds an extended radio drama?

Lemmy, lol. Found a good chunk of my games this year from bside and the games comms.

I hear Finland has pretty good views of the Northern Lights. Or Canada, since one of his mailing addresses is there.

Or Lowell, Massachusetts
