Forget other “forever games,” isn’t TikTok like the biggest competition for gamers time, attention, and money these days?

Thank god. It’s been 3/4 of a year, and we’ve got what? 2 so far?

My mom came from the UK. Even though I was born in the US, it was long enough ago that I also have British Citizenship by default (even though I’ve only ever spent 4 weeks of my life there on vacations). Filed the paperwork and got my British passport last year just in case….

My M1 MacBook Air has 8GB RAM, and it grinds to a halt every time I get more than 10 browser tabs open. Sometimes when waking from sleep, it’s like 5 minutes before the thing becomes responsive again…. So no, 8 GB is not enough in this day and age.

I’ll stick to my 30-40 olives, thanks.

Isn’t that what the secret service is for?

Well, then what happens when you make things so expensive that people can’t afford their consumer goods anymore?…

I’ve made homemade sushi before… it’s actually really tasty and not too difficult. Hardest part is getting the rice right.

Steak. It’s surprisingly low effort to get a really tasty one, just gotta know the process.

Salt and throw in a low temp oven with a temp probe alarm, then go and have fun. When it hits temp, pan sear for 60 per side and you got something tasty with like 3 min working time.

My mom just never made em good. Cook em up right (don’t overcook so they go all sulfury) and add some good seasoning (and onions), and you’ve got something really tasty!

HDR, or Dolby Vision? From my research, anything less than the Panasonic UB820 either has missing features, or longevity issues.

Even still, 180 euro is well above the under $40 you can lots of DVD and even Standard Blu Ray

Personally, I grabbed a MakeMKV compatible UHD optical drive from eBay for $150, and just remux my discs to Plex… and then use CoreELEC on the Ugoos AM6B+ to ensure proper Dolby Vision and Lossless Audio support…. but I know that’s not exactly a mainstream option.

Amazon has 3 for $33 sales a couple times a year. I just got Wicked (2024), F1 and Sinners in 4k for $11 each.

When 4K players cost $500 to get something considered “good but not great”… yeah no wonder no ones buying

Early 2000s to mid 2010s movies shot digitally? Sure. Film shot movies, especially on 35mm or larger, absolutely look better in 4k. Especially when they’ve been restored from the negative and converted to HDR for a 4k release.

There’s a lot of older movies out there where the UHD Blu Ray is the definitive version to own, looking significantly better than any prior version (and will likely never look better).

It’s well done…. Especially the end. Took me 3 days to get thru it, but the last 20 or so minutes were riveting

2x? Try 4x+ for fast DDR5

It offers the ability to play a lot of your Switch 1 games with much better performance. I’ve been really enjoying TOTK at 4k60. I think that was a draw for a lot of more hardcore Nintendo fans at the systems launch.

Also Donkey Kong is the spiritual successor to Mario Odyssey. If you liked that game you should definitely be into the new DK. I think Nintendo did a terrible job of messaging on that point, though.

That said, lack of content was the main point of the comment I was replying to. However, I think the huge price increase over Switch is equally as important at this time when people have less and less purchasing power.

This right here. The Switch 2 offers nothing compelling the more casual Nintendo fans, and is a huge purchase comparatively.

I thought Mint was the familiar and accessible entry point for users leaving Windows… guess I’m out of the loop these days
