I called Putin’s invasion of Ukraine “russian imperialistic bullshit”, the ml tankies brigaded, as expected, calling it just a border dispute, with one goin all “nuh-uh, you don’t even know what imperialism means!” - to which I replied with Britannica’s meaning. The reaction was moving the goalposts, “no, that’s imperialistic description of the word, it doesn’t count! read lenin!”

What really amazed me is that they didn’t ban me

Ravers speak of P.L.U.R. (a hippie acronym standing for “peace, love, unity, and respect”) but their lives are built around a decision to look away from the yawning brutalities of the imperial order, whether in India or Palestine. This denial is so privileged and irresponsible that it tends to align with whiteness and wealth. Israelis tripping to the point of physical and mental collapse are said to be “flipping out.” A person who has “flipped out” is called falupe. Goa overflows with Israeli all-night ravers who look inside themselves, ignore the world around them, and elect to obliterate their senses, all as they listen to psychedelic trance.

I think this paragraph sums up everything perfectly

Not a number, just a comma with a hole

I’ll never understand people that use social media sites or chat servers for porn, other than trying to circumvent blocks and age checks.

If Nvidia suddenly needs to cancel contracts for the RAM (since they are hogging nearly everything for its GPUs), can the existing stock be repurposed for consumer electronics, like videogames, phones and personal computers?

The battery? Was that the first discovered jailbreak hack? Because by the time I got a PSP (~2012), the jailbreak was “copy this program to your card and run it on the psp”, which was about as idiot-proof as a jailbreak can get.

On the other hand, I did jailbreak my nintendo switch with the shorting on the right joycon using a bent paperclip. Lucky I didn’t brick it, though until it booted back into life, I was sweating!

Anubis II might be useful for that. It’s a notorious shovelware, but the 1st level might be short enough to test your setup

Simpsons Hit and Run has an achiv for completing the tutorial, dunno how long it takes, so there’s that, too

Retroachievements are community made achievements for games and systems from before the idea was implemented in the xbox360. As op stated, this is for the PS2, a console released back in 2000

Gee, totally not what Russia is doing, my bad

It’s one of those great ironies, because flight was a requested feature since the beginning and being locked into fixed flight paths left people wanting free flight even more. Back in 2006-7, I don’t think most people, or even Blizzard, could predict how much it’d hurt the social aspect of the game.

Starfield? I would argue it’s much worse than NMS, though I don’t know how the current game is. Back when I played, a couple of months before the first dlc dropped (before the buggy update, even), you were extremely limited in choices for base building. You had like 4 or 5 prefabs of a living quarter which came pre decorated.

Starfield offers good ship customization (and stupidly talent-locks a lot of it), unlike NMS, which only added a tiny bit of that in an update last year I think

Sometimes you are high on hopium and copium, you’re hoping that it gets better later on, or you just overlook some problems.

Sometimes you’re already too used to the game, so it doesn’t fully entertain, but it isn’t “feeling” like a waste of time yet. This happens a lot with “endless” games like most MMOs and “game as a service”

If you don’t mind, I can spoil the story for you:
