I got the original STEAM Deck, and it has been a godsend for emulation.
It handles Switch titles with upscaling, and even PS3 games. It struggles with Skate 3 on PS3 though, which is the main one I'd like to play.
I've had several deep experiences in which platitudes held transformative meaning, but I think you're right.
I think they are symbolic placeholders for something experiential, and holding onto what gives them meaning is like trying to grasp the wind as it blows.
One of my biggest hang-ups in life, and I'm old enough that wisdom and experience should carry me through it. Hasn't happened yet.
Lots of platitudes address it, but platitudes are only true when viewed from the other side of things, not within the thick of it.
I never have enough time for games, but I loved this one so much that I made time.
The visuals were amazing. The story was decent, and the gameplay kept me engaged.
I especially liked the second island. Hallucinating on a tropical island while battling inner demons was a perfect intermission between acts.
I have yet to fork out $80 for Yotei though (I want it, but that's pretty steep for me). It seems most reviews say it's got a lot going for it, but it's just not Tsushima.
The people that are open to exploration and travel are generally not the ones opposed to progressive city planning.
The fear-based mindset opposed to change at any cost is not exactly conducive to exploring other cultures.
They were both 1999. Matrix released in March and Columbine was April 20th (made for a fucked up 4/20 that year...)
This really hit home to me when I was a teenager and a colleague at work started talking about the famous demonstrations she attended. She was probably 60, but looked and acted 40, which made it especially jarring.
A similar thing happened when I visited the Martin Luther King Jr national museum in Atlanta. They have pictures and items scattered throughout, and as we were browsing, an older man was nearby excitedly talking about each of the people in the exhibit on a personal level. As it turned out, he was friends with all of them. It made it feel bizarre, because we walked into a history museum, and left with it feeling too recent to be history.
The final shock for me was when my mom casually mentioned that her elementary School was segregated! My siblings and I were shaken. She acted like it was something we should have already known, and maybe we should have already pieced that together when analyzing the time frames. The problem was that the Civil Rights movements in my mind were compartmentalized in the History section.
I honestly like the small, eclectic vibe better.
I don't know what the number is, but I'll arbitrarily say, anywhere under a quarter million is perfect.
I know the federation model provides a strength against the cascading list negatives that plague popular platforms, but I don't doubt that with a large enough user base, exploits would certainly seep in, particularly with ease of AI bot manipulation and astroturfing.
It reminds me of the Linux saying "security through obscurity".
Same bitrate, file size, and metadata (with my tags still included), along naming schemes and occasional misspellings.
Many of the songs I ripped and shared via Napster in the late 1900's continued to appear on legitimate platforms years later.
That's wild. I switched to piefed.world and was unaware
