Yeah, I’m not clear either. At first I thought the microblogs section would work more like Mastodon but that doesn’t seem to be the case. Big missed opportunity

It just gives me a 404 when I try to use it on kbin, sadly.

Has anybody made a kbin script/userstyle that has the same information density as old.reddit? One of the things that drives me nuts about most of the fediverse is that every damn site seems to love this wide spread out low information density mobile web awfulness.

Very few states allow it, and none of them in public. It’s only ever allowed in a private residence (usually the residence of your parent/guardian) while under the direct supervision of your parent/guardian. Even then it can become a crime if somehow the law gets involved and they feel like pressing charges.

During my very brief stint as a security guard at a casino I ran into that last part way more than I ever would have expected. It is astounding how many people do not understand that the laws from their home country do not apply in the country they are visiting.

For general use I have a wired Mad Catz 360 pro controller with textured grips. Modest dead zone, no drift despite a decade of use, and comfy as hell. It’s an absolute workhorse and still works as well as it did when I bought it.

If I’m playing something that doesn’t require analog input I have an 8bitdo M30. If I’m not using it through Steam it can be a pain to map since it has a 6-button layout instead of the usual ABXY, but I vastly prefer the 6-button layout so it’s worth a little headache to me.

It’s also kinda dodgy what YouTube considers “viewing” a video. 3 seconds of autoplay? You viewed it. Misclick an ad trying to skip? Viewed it. AndroidTV previewed the video when you left it highlighted for too long? You guessed it, viewed.

Fortunately figuring out what it considers you to have viewed is pretty straightforward: if it’s in your watch history it considers it viewed. You can also go through that and manually purge things.

Of course there’s still the question of why YouTube will so consistently recommend videos that get people started down this downhill slide of absolute dogshit atrocious content.

The Sega CDX. I had a Genesis, I had a Sega CD, but the thought of having both of those systems combined into one compact unit that also could be used as a discman (a really bad one, even I knew that at the time) was so appealing to me. There was one at the local game store for some absurd price ($350 I think) for literally years, and I would salivate over it every time I went in the store.

Ultimately I never got one, but at least I didn’t miss out on any games or anything.

Hadn’t even considered this, but I think you’re onto something. Even if it’s not the main goal, that could definitely have factored into the decision.

He’s living proof that being a regressive incel troglodyte isn’t limited to people who are ugly.

Well, ugly on the outside anyway. Much like beauty, true ugliness comes from inside, and that man has an inner ugliness that cannot be denied. He can do all the reps he wants and he’ll still come across like someone who shouldn’t be allowed within 1000 feet of a school.

I bought a nice shower seat for my spouse several years back so she didn’t have to balance awkwardly on one foot to wash the other. I’ve used it on occasion when I’m not feeling super great and oh damn does it make a the shower that much more relaxing, at least if I can get the showerhead aimed so I’m not being pelted in the face.

As much as he pissed people off I did like Sal Bundry using every opportunity to talk about his 5 touchdowns in a single game.

That really felt like the kind of question someone would ask only if they’re lactose intolerant. “Load up on cheese before you go camping so you don’t have to poo” is pretty common wisdom.

Ah yes, The Intercept, founded by blatant Russian propagandist and “Ukraine had biolabs” conspiracy promoter Glenn Greenwald. Surely this article is unbiased and not at all misleading.
