There’s one objective metric: money.

PC games can be had for cheaper.

And likely removing functionality

Thank Gabe for the Deck’s suspend functionality. It’s not the same as saving, but it means that I can play pretty much any game for a few minutes at a time if I want, as long as I only play that.

rolls of film

Oh right, those were stored in the fridge… weird to think about it.

Arcane Machine

Oh, sorry, since we were talking about the good ol’ days I thought it was implicit I wasn’t talking about lithium batteries

We did the opposite, put it in the freezer

Somehow everything will become more expensive in Europe too

My company has to pay for my steel tip shoes, yet they don’t buy them branded

When you are fighting to survive, it’s only normal to have less bandwidth to care for others.

Set in 1997 in the wake of World War 3, the world has become afflicted by a strange new growth called Tempest, a russet, flowery structure that looks like a plant but isn’t. Tempest is hazardous to human health and spreads rapaciously, but it’s also an abundant energy resource. This makes it the primary catalyst of a war between Earth’s two dominant factions, the Global Defence Force (GDF) and the Tempest Dynasty.

You weren’t kidding, lol.
Good anyway, someone has to make good C&C games, and sure as hell it ain’t gonna be EA.

"Who do you outsource you infrastrutture design to? "

" Girlcock systems!”

lol

Idk about VR, the hardware is kinda weak, but just projecting the screen should be easy

At this point, something like a steam deck would go better with the glasses, at least it has its own battery

I just leave that up to anaconda.

“Use whole disk”

Eh Arch can be quite stable if you’re careful, but it could also be a frustrating experience, there’s lots of manual configuration

It’s not easy to make it any simpler. You’ve got to control those devices somehow.

They support you too… And the whole internet infrastructure!

Yeah, strong Doubt (X) on this one

I’ve got smart shutters that open and close automatically based on time, smart awnings which lower or raise based on the sun, to allow air flow when the shade isn’t needed, smart lights that can be turned off all together with a button near my door when I leave, movement sensors in a few rooms that turn on the light but only at certain times of the day (essentially I don’t want my corridor light to flash me when I go to the bathroom during the night), energy meters and smart plugs that allow me to optimize my electricity costs.

It’s not for everyone but it’s quite useful.
