They have survived just fine without outside help, and acted hostile towards most attempts from outsiders to do so. They don’t need or want our help. They don’t need our technology.

Visiting North Sentinel Island is prohibited by the Indian government. Idiots still do it anyways and usually end up killed.

Leave them alone. They are living their best lives already. No need to interfere. No need to drag them into the misery of the modern world.

Thanks for having a sense of humour about the meme. I’m also a desk jockey. Be sure to stretch frequently and take care of your back! The tension has a way of sneaking up.

It’s not too late to edit your post and welcome answers from women, while specifying which topics you don’t want included.

You may be surprised to learn that women can have interests besides house fix up and makeup. Men can also be interested in those channels. Why not specify that you don’t want those types of recommendations, rather than ignoring answers from women entirely?

Tails of Iron. I’m having a blast with it. The voice actor that did Geralt’s voice as the narrator is a lot of fun. Combat feels good. Only complaints are the side quests (optional) can be a little repetitive, but worth it if you want new gear. And the jumping/ledge-grabbing mechanic feels a bit imprecise. Overall a fun game so far.

Getting shot anywhere you go

So this is what I’ve been doing, but I always end up spending hours configuring the emulators, the shaders, everything… and then not playing that much! That’s why I was talking about the “plug and play” nature of game consoles (even though it’s less true now that you have to create an account and stuff like that).

Simple solution: don’t do that. Are you trying to game with your family, or force them to watch you tinker? I’ve encountered ONE game where I had to adjust a setting in the emulator to make it playable. And occasionally adjust input mapping when it gets wonky or doesn’t handle the way I want, usually N64 emulation because of those pesky C buttons. Never had a problem with Steam games using an Xbox controller or third party controller (8BitDo Ultimate 2C with hall effect sticks and triggers, $30). They are plug and play.

As for PC games, I never have the proper hardware to play in good conditions.

Well, not yet you haven’t. But you’re prepared to drop $700 on a Switch 2? And $100 per game? You can get a laptop or pre-built PC for the same or less that’s capable of playing most games. Some newer games with intense graphics will have high demands for specs, you might have to turn down graphics quality for those, but there are thousands of games that can run on a bare minimum consumer-grade computer.

Again, the “plug and play” nature of game consoles is appealing. A game you buy for a given console is working fine out of the box.

Every one of my Steam games is working fine out of the box. You said you like to tinker, but you also don’t want to tinker. Wouldn’t you prefer to have the option? Besides that, PC gaming is virtually plug and play. Install Steam. Plug in a controller. Plug HDMI into the TV. Same number of steps to connect the Switch 2 to a TV.

I really think you should do more research on PC gaming before writing it off, and especially before giving Nintendo more money.

1984 and Brave New World

You vote with your wallet. Look at all the cons you listed and think if you really want to support that. Do you want to tell Nintendo that this is ok, and you’ll pay the high price for it?

Have you looked at a Steam deck, or any other alternative like a regular laptop? You can run way more games, including emulating Nintendo games.

Cancelling Spotify will not only save you money, it will help to save music. They’re shafting smaller artists, paying peanuts to the rest, and flooding the platform with AI slop so they don’t have to pay as much to real artists. Fuck Spotify.

Bandcamp and Soundcloud are what I mainly use.

I’ve seen a lot of shower thoughts, but this thought is the showerest

So many frog games with Kero Quest 64 too!

Lol yes. Already on my Wishlist!

Frogs are what peak 3D platformer performance looks like.

Nice taste, similar to mine. I just picked up Sapo 3D. Played Pseudoregalia recently and loved it.

I suggest you take a look at Cavern of Dreams and Frogun.

Didn’t go too overboard since I have a lot of other unplayed games and money is tight. But I picked these up:

• Sapo 3D (3D Platformer)
• ATLYSS (Action RPG)
• Lunacid (Dungeon Crawler)
• Kaze and the Wild Masks (2D Platformer)
• Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy (3D Platformer)
• Anodyne (Action Adventure)

Basketball. Same everything, except you have to dribble the ball with your forehead.
