  It’s fine for me on ReVanced and desktop. Looks like there’s a volcano erupting and the Toy Story 5 trailer came out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If the rain keeps up, it won't come down.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  You’ll also hear some wicked drums being played in a hallway.

  Yeah, sounds like your typical nazi reddit admins.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Devil Daggers 2 is in development, as its creator confirms fewer than 1,500 people survived longer than 8 minutes in the original⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Well that title is certainly intriguing, having never heard of this before.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elder Scrolls 6 Is Powered By New Version Of Creation Engine⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I swear I remember looking this up a year ago and hearing this. Was that just a rumor then?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Advice on which retrogaming handheld I should buy?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Analogue Pocket is well worth the cost if you’re fine with sticking with 2D. I loaded my Pocket full of every single ROM I could find and routinely find great games for it that I’ll then seek out an original copy of.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone other young people into Retro Computing?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Absolutely. I was born in 1996 but got into retro games in 2007 thanks to AVGN, after which retro computers came shortly after. I learned how to program in BASIC during covid and made a text adventure RPG that I then translated into Python to learn that language.

  I still think BASIC is a great programming language to learn for a beginner. It gives you the blocks of what you’ll need to tackle a modern language rather than being overwhelmed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Parents opt kids out of school computers, insisting on pen-and-paper instead⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  If I was given a laptop in middle school or elementary school, I’d have gotten absolutely nothing done. We dicked around with the computers when we could use them once a week or so, let alone daily.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨BIG (like Americans) IF TRUE⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s why we usually bring half of it home for breakfast tomorrow, or lunch/dinner later.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 580 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I should have tried to make my racetrack into Rainbow Road. Now that’s an idea.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Young gamers in Japan may not be forming the same attachment to Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest because modern dev cycles are as long as their childhood, users theorize - AUTOMATON WEST⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I had all 5 3D GTA games come out before I was 17. The first rated M game I bought myself on launch day was GTA V. I’m almost 30 now.

  Of course, GTA isn’t necessarily a kid’s game, but we all know who’s playing it. Same deal there. There’s a whole generation of people out there who don’t even know we had 6 stars.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New nickel-iron battery charges in seconds, survives 12,000 cycles⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Herein, a bovine serum albumin-templated synthetic strategy is developed to fabricate iron and nickel nanoclusters, which are subsequently hydrothermally composited with graphene oxide.

  Is this how Doom starts?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Free Tool Says it Can Bypass Discord's Age Verification Check With a 3D Model⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I remember doing that in Economics in high school in like 2013. The document was named “Totally work related” and the teacher saw it, laughed, and just told us to pay attention. Idk if he was impressed or what, but he didn’t even make us delete it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Video Games Need to Be Cheaper to Buy⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  On that note, Dark Ages was probably my favorite game I played last year and was worth the cost new as well. For half price, it’s absolutely worth it even more.

  Saving this post for later when the inevitable happens.

  Good for them. Ubisoft needs to become comfortable with its employees striking.

  Kinda farts I be laying down in my cubicle before someone walks in to talk.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It Turns Out That When Waymos Are Stumped, They Get Intervention From Workers in the Philippines⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I still have no idea how these are legally able to operate on public roads. Shit seems wild to me. Wouldn’t last 5 seconds here in Chicago, for numerous reasons lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is the Xbox One X a good console/4k player in 2026?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The Series X is better in nearly every way. I have my Series X in the living room and then a One X near my computer. I’ve started bringing the Series X in here when I play. Series X has FPS boost, an SSD stock, and quick resume. I added an SSD to my One X and the Series X is still so, so much better. You mention wanting to play Forza. The Series X runs it at 60fps whereas the One X runs it at 30. For a racing game, the difference is absolutely massive.

  Now, it’s hard to me to recommend an Xbox at all in the year 2026. I’d probably say get a PC at this point, or a PS5 if you really wanted a console for a bluray player.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨CEO of Palantir Says AI Means You’ll Have to Work With Your Hands Like a Peasant⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah, I’d rather not get banned for something as inconsequential as this. Shit ain’t worth it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨CEO of Palantir Says AI Means You’ll Have to Work With Your Hands Like a Peasant⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Did you actually post that so I would see it in my inbox and then delete it before the mods saw it? Because here it is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Chaplet HALiKAN Lives! Vintage 80s Laptop Restored [20:25] | LGR⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Just knowing you can actually fix something so completely destroyed is reassuring. Time was not kind to the plastics of a lot of 70s and 80s tech pieces, especially depending on how and where they were stored.

  I’m worried I’m going to pick up one of my computers one day and the whole thing will just crumble. So knowing that this is even possible is wonderful.

  On THAT note, I should probably look into 3D or resin printing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨CEO of Palantir Says AI Means You’ll Have to Work With Your Hands Like a Peasant⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m sure it’s the people’s fault.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase Announced for February 5⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  All the people immediately rushing to the comments to post the gif of the guy being disappointed by his fridge did give me a chuckle.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨CEO of Palantir Says AI Means You’ll Have to Work With Your Hands Like a Peasant⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Okay, so that helps no one.

  Anyone else have any input?
