I can't say I blame them when it comes to going with what's comfortable.

I used Windows and Linux while in school so it's what I got used to. Whenever I use MacOS I feel incredibly lost

I've started to really like just mustard and sauerkraut on my hotdogs and racing games over FPS because they're a little slower paced.

Isn't the whole Macs don't get viruses thing a myth by this point?

There are a lot more sources for random untrustworthy Windows software than there are for MacOS but that's on the user the same way keeping your OS up to date is.

My family did secret Santa every year with a $20 limit so it was typically gag gifts. One year a family member was sick on Christmas so we just left our gifts piled up in a closet.

None of the gifts had tags because it was all supposed to be anonymous so when we handed out gifts the following year my great grandma ended up unwrapping a box of noodles shaped like penises.

It depends what you are looking for. NES Roms? You can use Internet Archive and a download manager. Some romance playlist you made on Spotify and now want to burn on a CD? You can use a converter that will fetch MP3 files from YouTube.

The megathread is the place to look.

You may want to look into Usenet. There is a price involved but it's not significantly more than a VPN.

To store stuff I use large hard drives. Most of my data is on one other device so those drives act as a back up in a way. It's unlikely both devices fail at the same time

Hotline Miami 2. I've beat it on several platforms but I really don't think it's as good as the original.

Fallout 3. Mostly due to the mountain of technical issues it has on PC but even playing on console you can run into stability issues.

From my understanding you can run into issues when you have a combination of ports being forwarded and some other issue like SSH enabled on a Raspberry Pi with default credentials but I feel like I'm missing things or misunderstanding port forwarding.

I don't know if, for example, a computer connected to a network running a dated version of Windows is a risk simply because it is connected to the network. Even if it isn't being used for things such as web browsing.

I'm more concerned about remote threats versus local ones like someone having access to my WiFi password.

You can see why in the comment

I tried to sign up. Missed an answer to one of 3 questions. Application got rejected. Tried it once again but I can't do that with the same email. Need to appeal by installing/using another app to do so. What?!

It's the technical issues and general troubles people have adjusting to Lemmy. It doesn't help that Lemmy and its mobile apps are still rapidly developing.

A lot of people are lazy too. They've gotten accustomed to having certain communities available with a single login while they poop.

Lots of people also found the whole Reddit blackout cringy, unjustified, and pointless largely missing the point.

Even though it's meaningless I have seen some people in different communities voting down comments and posts they don't agree with like on Reddit which is unfortunate.

For the piracy community I hope it doesn't just turn into passive aggressive comments directing people to the megathread all the time.

I like helping people dig for obscure stuff

Wasn't /u/AwkwardTheTurtle kind of exploitative herself?

I'm playing on PS4 and am looking for games to play in 2 to 3 hour chunks after work.

You can also use Teddit.net. You can find more info here but it doesn't use ads, accounts, or even the official Reddit API

The page has been archived a few times now due to it's popularity. This Ghost Archive capture appears to show all the text within the Reddit post compared to previous Archive.org captures.

It appears to be continuously updated with the last addition being 05/06/2023.

The mod of this instance was a mod of /r/Piracy. I am pretty sure it will stay consistently updated.

It was updated 19 Jun 2023 10:26 UTC according to the bottom of the webpage if that helps your worries.

Mobile was the most popular platform, with 60% of online respondents playing on phones or tablets. Console and PC audiences were each about half that, with 33% of people playing on PC and 32% playing on console.

Considering mobile phone games counted I feel like that makes sense. I thought the article would be referring to devices designed specifically for gaming (ex. Xbox One, PS5, Switch, and so on)

Some of them that come to mind for me are:

  • FitGirl's Escape from Tarkov repack that featured a single player mod

  • FitGirl's Half Life Alyx repack that with the NoVR mod

  • Gnarly's Tale of Two Wastelands repack that had everything ready to go after the install. No need to install both Fallout 3 & New Vegas and wait hours for things to compile

El Paquete Semanal (The Weekly Package) is something I've been interested in for a while and what got me into reading about other forms of sneakernet'ing. Figured I'd share this video in case someone hasn't heard about it before

  • I used Invidious as a frontend because it's open source, limits trackers, and doesn't have ADs

I did this with Cruelty Squad, Hylics, and to a lesserextentt Underrail.

For the most part it was either the difficulty or not knowing what I should be doing.

ArcaOS, KolibriOS, AROS, FreeDOS, Plan 9, TempleOS, or even just an older version of Windows or Linux.

What's your use case? How's your experience?

If you've ever checked out /r/OriginalXbox there were some pretty neat hardware mods like LCD screens on the front of the console that display current playing content.

The PS2 can play games off of an SD card with MX4SIO through the memory card slot, through USB, through SMB with a Raspberry Pi, and through an internal HDD. You don't even need a working disc drive or a hard mod.

The PS Vita has a rocking homebrew scene.

The 3DS had neat custom themes and being able to use QR codes to download games is pretty nifty.

There's also SBC Gaming devices like the RG350 and Retroid Pocket 3+ that can play a wide array of systems.

Basically I have a hard time narrowing it down. What about you? Is there one console or device you keep coming back to?
