You’re just speaking of dedicated emulator systems? I’d agree with those numbers of yours then. I was just speaking of what people use to emulate old games in general. Almost everyone just uses a pc, laptop, or cell phone. The numbers for dedicated systems that look like retro Gameboys and stuff like that are outnumbered by like 100 to 1.

You can say 9 out of 10 buying a raspberry pie are setring up retro pie for emulating, but 98 out of 100 people emulating aren’t using a raspberry pie to do it.

That should be irrelevant to the crime. The sentencing shouldn’t be effected by factors such as that.

How do you think vehicle brakes had always worked? You think lightly pushing your foot on a pedal brings the 4,000 lb car to a stop with farts and whistles?

So a murderer should get a different sentence if the victim had a family and wasn’t a homeless person on the street?
- Comment on Chips aren’t improving like they used to, and it’s killing game console price cuts 6 days ago:
You overestimate how much Microsoft would care about people with bad internet. They’ll opt for smaller numbers paying a subscription per month/year on cheap hardware. No point in losing money against Sony directly.
- Comment on Chips aren’t improving like they used to, and it’s killing game console price cuts 6 days ago:
Microsofts cloud gaming is already profitable. Also, they got their ass kicked so badly against the ps5 that there’s no profitable avenue in developing and trying to sell a future console. They’re better off concentrating on pc games and cloud gaming. Sony can’t really compete against them in that market, just like microsoft is unlikely to make it worth while to compete against Sony in a console.
- Comment on Chips aren’t improving like they used to, and it’s killing game console price cuts 1 week ago:
I can get ps5 graphics with a $280 video card, games are often way cheaper, I can hook the pc up to my TV, and still play with a ps5 or Xbox controller, or mouse and keyboard.
I suspect next gen there will be a ps6 and Xbox will make a cheap cloud gaming box and just go subscription only.

Sweet that it’s all of android now. I’ve had it on my note 20 ultra for the past 5 years.
- Comment on Sega's Altered Beast Gets A Free Fan-Made Remake | Time Extension 2 weeks ago:
Yeah. It was a stupidly hard game. With unlimited lives (ie unlimited quarters) the entire thing is only a 25 minute play through.
- Comment on Sega's Altered Beast Gets A Free Fan-Made Remake | Time Extension 2 weeks ago:
I loved that arcade/Sega game back in the day.
I re-played I about a year ago, and omg, it’s quarter eating trash. What was I thinking back then?
Can’t wait to play the remake.

- Comment on Windows 10 LTSC – the version that won't expire for years 3 weeks ago:
Not really. I pretty much exclusively use my desktop pc for gaming. I have a laptop for doing work on.

Only shit thing is a couple online games I like playing are dicks about their anti cheat and not wanting to be Linux compatible.

No they didn’t. That’s why ebolapie’s comment has so many more upvotes than yours. You really suck with context.
- Comment on Ok, thanks... 3 weeks ago:
My comprehension? You directly replied to a response about schools to talk about how your kids didn’t know all of their alphabets yet, but somehow thought everyone would get your “joke” because your kids aren’t in school yet.
So explain to me why you think that makes sense?
- Comment on Unlike in movies, most smart people aren't good in chess. 3 weeks ago:
It’s that to be good you have to think several moves ahead. Being able to predict and plan out you and the opponents next 5 moves takes intelligence.

Makes the range look longer, also.

Lol. It’s close enough for government work.
- Comment on Ok, thanks... 3 weeks ago:
Do your own math and just admit you were wrong. If the youngest is 1 and the oldest if 15, then over half of them are 0ast the point where they should know how to write and spell at least simple words. That also means most of them are not “very young” and that most of them are school age.

Gen Alpha started in 2010, dude. Some of them are 15 at this point.
- Comment on Ok, thanks... 3 weeks ago:
Bad grammar as well. I see posts all the time where people don’t even put periods at the ends of their sentences.
- Comment on Ok, thanks... 3 weeks ago:
There’s definite bleed over , and the differences are loose generalities than facts, but there’s definite patterns that emerge between music, fashion, and technology.
Like how gen Z and especially A can’t really use computers or understand file structure well, or that mellennials are the last gen who mostly know cursive. Or blow anti bully gen z is compared to earlier gens.
- Comment on Ok, thanks... 3 weeks ago:
Danged gen z/late millennial parents not teaching their kids the alphabet before/during kindergarten.
Lol
- Comment on Ok, thanks... 3 weeks ago:
No, but your spelling is.
- Comment on Ok, thanks... 3 weeks ago:
Gen A got left behind on spelling and grammar. Too much of it that they use is automated, they find grammar to be lame, and thanks to our “pass kids or lose funding” system of public schools they all just get to coast through while not really learning much.
- Comment on Bluesky has started honoring takedown requests from Turkish government 3 weeks ago:
Deepwater was not terror related. It was just an accident of ineptitudes. Waco did not begin or end on 4-20, or was even going on over 4-20.
I did forget about Oklahoma happening on 4-20, though. So like two things in the past 100 years, both over 20 years ago. That’s not a pattern at all.
- Comment on Bluesky has started honoring takedown requests from Turkish government 3 weeks ago:
Not really much “American terror” on 4-20 except for the columbine massacre.

The context of this entire topic and story and everything in this comments section, aside from you, clearly infers that this is all talking about subs in a different language.

Do you just keep going until in your own mind you believe you weren’t wrong? Sometimes people say stupid things. No one is immune to that.
