  • Petroleum distillation is incredibly simple. Give me a couple weeks in a junkyard with a welder and I can have your crude refined to any weight distillate you want. People were distilling petroleum fuels a century before penicillin was invented.

    Fuck piss baby spez. But of you should see the crude “refineries” around the world run with just a tank, heated by the same crude inside, with just a long pipe as a condernsor that people manually water cool.

  • Recall and AI in general is something normies understand and hate, and that’s the fuck up windows is making. Even apple did briefs trials and immediately realized what a mistake they made. And if you haven’t been involved in it, you have not fucking idea how far proton has progressed Linux gaming in the last few years and that wouldn’t have ever happened without valve.

  • If '25 isn’t due to people knowing win10 is going to die, '26 will be when they realize it’s dead. Started during <10.whatever Ubuntu but have been running windows because I own a nvidia GPU that I want to use to play games. I’m confident in bazzite to go full time this year but I honesty want steamos on my main PC. I’ve used it for however many years since first batch steamdecks arrived and I love it. I promise to be a fanboy if steamos can do nvidia egpus and vr headsets with less that 5 minutes of tinkering.

  • I never had one that could do anything other than wifi and USB. I bought broken ones for <$40 and would put together “fresh” rebuilds with emulators to “donate”. Thinking about it I miss the hax0r more than their use. Replaying Pokémon emerald for hours during off time was just a benefit.

  • Same same. I really really want buttons, but I’ve been playing on touch screen emulators since the… I forget what it was even called, iTouch is a crime, so it was ipod touch? Idk, the first through maybe 3rd gen of those. 2012 hardware. I actually love the bigger screen and some graphic enhancements that the emulators/mods can do. But my steam deck is still a big thing to carry. Unless I know that’s the only thing I’m using when I’m out, I feel like I need a backpack to carry it and other stuff. I’ll have to dive into the rabbit hole of Chinese pocket emulators, I’ve only kept up with the us/euro Kickstarter type ones. Something pocket sized with buttons is really all I want. But again, do I need to consume that when I already have multiple options?

  • I 100% amazing mirror several times on GBA. Loved that device and many games it had. I want a modern pocket emulator GB device but can’t justify it since I already have a Steam deck. Or a phone. I guess nostalgia doesn’t hold enough monetary value to me to profit off of.
