I got the 35xx set up too. That and a Steam Deck seems to be the dream for full emulation + indie, which is all I play anymore. But, it's £X00 away which could be better spent.

I bought an emulation handheld so I'm revisiting my past.

Played Codenames with friends at the bar yesterday. It's a fun and frustrating came of word association.

Going to try to get the handheld set up on the TV for "level or life" shenanigans later in the week. If not, there's an agility game where you stack little plastic chairs that is more fun than it has any right to be after a few.

My dad went from militant anti-thiest to parroting christo-fascist talking points about 'wokeness" surprisingly quickly.

I guess the common through line is bigotry. Whether it's directed at Christians, Muslims, women, gays or trans, it is all the same to him.

It still seems strange to me that he'll hate on the church, and then go carry its water in hate campaign anyways.

That sucks, I hope this isn't a statement about the "Mini-Pc" market in general. I've been thinking about getting one as a "Steam machine/ emulation station" for a long time but the stars never really lined up.

I've got a full sized PC in the front room getting long in the tooth and looking ridiculous that could easily be replaced. But while the 970 still plays Dave the Diver, well there's other shit money can be spent on.

Wasn't meant as a reply, pressed the wrong thing, my bad

I know, why didn't the beehaw mods consult you before they decided their names?! How selfish of them!

In lieu of a better source I found this BuzzFeed News article with the Google search "Raspberry pi mastodon controversy". Though I admit I had no idea what op might be talking about until this moment. Some zingers by BF in there though:

She added, “I don’t think any of the people complaining here would not call the police if their house was burgled.” When BuzzFeed News pointed out that police don’t surveil burglars, Upton agreed that’s true.

Class.
