don't make me tap the meme again

I read "blindfolded" at first and wasn't even the slightest bit surprised

If a mechanical clock or watch was like that it would be one hell of a fascinating movement

Yeah shat the hell were they thinking with all the hell imagery, premeditated murder by vehicle, drive by shootings, and such??

DVDs didn't exist during most of my childhood. Xbox was our first DVD player.

VHS would have been All Dogs Go To Heaven (Charlie was my first crush and I'd still let him wreck me) or Disney's Robin Hood (he can also wreck me)

DVD was probably The Matrix (mentally wrecked me, slightly)

Recovered a legacy COBOL 911 dispatch system after the hard drive containing the root filesystem died, which wasn't RAID protected at all and had no complete backups except for a few days prior when I started running daily rsync backups out of paranoia because the idiot dipshit sysadmin who set it all up left the company to work directly for one of our customers.

Thankfully the data volume was RAID protected and didn't die so the critical data was pretty much all there ready to go again after some rebuilding of shit.

Still, took 15 hours to recover. Was a RHEL 4 system when RHEL 6 was current, and we had no way of obtaining the install media or licensing, so I dug up an archived CentOS 4 iso and installed from that, and got stuff working mostly just by copying various files from backup.

Fucking nightmare come true. Drive crashed at noon and we didn't go home until about 4am.

Get a Steam Deck OLED. Just do it. It is currently and will remain for a very long time a very capable device.

I actually kinda HOPE they don't release a new generation for a good long while, so devs have some pressure to target it for new games, which also means that those new games will remain playable on other older hardware as well.

Counterpoint:

External DACs on multiple recent generations of Pixel devices frequently experience severe distortion and Google seems to not give a shit about fixing that.

I literally cannot use wired headphones or speakers with my phone even with relatively high end equipment without horrific audio glitches.

Your shit stinks too.

Ff16 combat is fun as hell. And FF7 remake/rebirth too. I'm sure I still would have enjoyed both games if they were turn based, as I enjoyed the original FF7 and FF8 back in the day, but I really don't get the hate for the realtime combat. It's tight and polished and fun.
