Thank you for the version number! I was just lamenting not being able to find it.

pro-NATO is like how people used to say “Lincoln Republicans” to say “Well, I don’t agree with what the party is doing currently but I will continue to vote for them.”

Yeah but the app also does remote control / viewing. The transfer is a bonus of being able to quickly do the transfer and text it to someone right away.
Of course, none of this matters because I don’t have Chrome on my new phone and can’t even create the stupid account if I wanted to.
Also, can’t find information about which version they rolled that out in and get an older version.
- Comment on Steamdeck or.... 2 days ago:
As someone with a primarily physical Switch library and more than 100 Switch games, the Switch cartridges aren’t even satisfying to put in and harder to store or display than consoles of old.
Even the 3DS just feels easier and more substantial. So, despite the Deck’s lack of a cartridge slot, I don’t even think the Deck really loses.

There’s already ROM hacks for MK64.
- Comment on Even Starfield's community patch modders are growing 'disenchanted' with the sci-fi RPG, as volunteers depart in droves: 'If nobody comes forward, we may have to retire the project' 2 weeks ago:
But the aliens were humans who came before/after you because humans made a thing that made them destroy the universe so everything is stuck in a time loop where humans have to… Stop other humans from fielding too many stars or else they figure out how to loop the star field again.
- Comment on Trump tells Canadians to Elect the guy who'll make them the 51st State of US [Canadian elections today] 4 weeks ago:
No, it’s terrible. Your English is better than his. Just because there’s some sliver of sense doesn’t mean he even did it on purpose.
- Comment on Trump tells Canadians to Elect the guy who'll make them the 51st State of US [Canadian elections today] 4 weeks ago:
Commas can be used to identify parts of the sentence that can be cut out e.g. “… wisdom to cut your taxes in half … If Canada becomes the 51st state.”
Now, here, the comma was used for a list so it shouldn’t have been used that way but I’m sure his meth head brain probably got lost partway or the AI bot that mimics his speech patterns is just that dumb.
- Comment on How come id Software / Bethesda have never sued Bungie / Microsoft over the similarity between Doomguy and Master Chief? 4 weeks ago:
I think the only thing I remember about Reach is the last mission anyway but thanks for the heads up.

John Halo and the Marines are Marines and not Soldiers. Though, I’m not certain Halo ever shows a non-Navy Servicemember in 1-4.

That fact that you mention Three Houses make me think you mention that because you wanna bang your students.

This is terrifying to link to after what you just said
But they are great boobs and that’s what’s important. I do this not for me, but for us all.
- Comment on In heat 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, first part of any fresh Fox setup is changing the default search engine.
- Comment on Amazon is Canceling Orders After Tariffs Destroy Profits 5 weeks ago:
I cancelled my Prime in boycott (and brokenness) ages ago… And yet, my account still gets free shipping. My partner looks at the same item, shipping charges but for me it says “Free With Prime” yet I click on the free games or video and it says “Sign up for Prime.”
So, when we absolutely need to order something from them, I do it because it takes a little bit more from them.
- Comment on What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts? 5 weeks ago:
Because I’ve been using it for over 20 years?
- Comment on Can't Afford A Nintendo Switch 2? Buy A Switch 1, Nintendo Says - Insider Gaming 1 month ago:
Yeah, Microsoft had a similar stance around the Xbox One timeframe! It worked out great for them.
Just don’t talk about it, Nintendo, that’s a better PR strategy.

To be fair, a lot of those women were probably traumatized in the same wars their husbands were (for different reasons, obviously) so they probably trauma bonded.

We do not have a legal president and we don’t have a legal precedent for this case.
- Comment on Hardcore gaming 2 months ago:
Those are over ear closed backs with thicc pads, no way are those going to be comfortable to one ear. Some Grados, maybe, but again the more important thing is hearing things in the room, not the game.
- Comment on Hardcore gaming 2 months ago:
You wanna be able to hear if your partner needs anything. Ear buds would at least mean that they can only put one in at a time.
- Comment on Hardcore gaming 2 months ago:
I can see bringing the Deck, like you might be sitting there for at least 24 hours, you don’t need to be sitting there holding their hand the whole time…
But the keyboard? The mouse? The HEADPHONES? It’s not like you’re in an extended stay. You’re getting that baby out and going. You don’t need all that.
- Comment on If you shop by unit prices, double check the math! 4 months ago:
It’s great value peanut butter. It is easier to clarify that as a semi solid oil than actual peanut butter. Feel free to be jealous but that’s not ‘good’ peanut butter. It’s better than nothing but only just.
- Comment on Hulu quizzing about the ads played 4 months ago:
I cancelled Prime over a year ago and for some reason I still get “Prime” delivery. I don’t get the games, movies, or Twitch stuff but if I order something it shows up faster than when my partner does.
So, I don’t hate that about Amazon… Everything else keeps me from ordering there unless there’s no other options.

The pockets are alone to give away that Hostel guy is wearing a “field jacket” cotton blend while Agent 47 is wearing a ECWCS cold/wet weather top. He could have two jackets and all that but they’re different jackets.

I mean, the woman who was right next to the CEO understandably freaked and bolted but yeah.

- Comment on How long do you think we'll keep seeing "formerly Twitter"? 6 months ago:
If we say that the accepted pronunciation of “X” is “ex” then we run into an even bigger problem than Prince’s logo.
“Ex” User says… Is this a former user of the website or current?
A user on the website “ex” is too long winded and sounds like I’m saying a hypothetical.
Users on “ex” - although shorter, X is a street name for ecstacy and user is sometimes used as shorthand for drug user (e.g. User and abuser) so why should we be listening to a cracked out party kid?
The golden ticket is “formerly Twitter” because we actually know what the fuck that one is.
I’m willing to bet there’s at least one X user on X right now.

How long was Prince “The Artist Formerly Known as Prince”?
Yeah, the rest of his life.
Twitter probably will have the same laid upon it.
