Hey there. It's-a me, Mario. I just want to thank you for sharing.

If they are trying to use this to be profitable and grab sponsors, I don't see how that works. This is newsworthy, even though I agree that Twitter talk is getting old.

Especially if it's the better selling console. There will be plenty of them on the used market when the platform is 1-2 generations old.

Thanks to Danny O'Dwyer and NoClip crew for saving these tapes from the landfill.

People seem to be unaware that Firefox on Android (not IOS unfortunately) has support for several useful extensions. Ad blocking is the obvious benefit, but I use a Text-to-speech extension every day.

For general gaming news, I go with Jeff Gerstmann and the Nextlander guys. For more technically focused stuff, it's hard to beat Digital Foundry and their methodology of focusing on the user experience over benchmark numbers. I think all of those folks have been around long enough to be above chasing the hype cycle for traffic and they all have context from decades of being in the industry. Rich from DF started working in games media in 1990 and Jeff started working at Gamespot in 1996. It's hard to find other folks who have been in the industry that long and still working in games coverage.

Be kind, rewind... and drive past the Wal-Mart of rental stores to go to the Mom and Pop rental shop where they consult their kids on what good games to stock. They also have some secret stuff behind saloon doors, but I just spend my time playing their Terminator 2 pinball machine.

Bobbi Flekman confronted the sexism in the Spinal Tap album "Smell the Glove" back when she worked artist relations for Polymer Records in 1982. She has known for years that "Money talks, and bullshit walks"

I don't mind people being in the business of being sexy. I just don't go to YouTube for that. I mainly use my YouTube on a living room HTPC. I go out of my way to keep a clean recommendation profile so I don't have to explain embarrassing videos that pop up when I have people over. YouTube just really wants me to see her.

I'm gonna have to set something up to hide the thirst trap shorts of the girl who plays guitar poolside in either just a bra or braless in a thin light colored shirt. I just want videos from old dudes who teach me how to make pedal circuits.

While Arch does allow a user to do a lot, including breaking their system, I would note that it's not a herculean task to build and run a stable machine. I broke my Arch system a few times by going against best-practices and it did teach me about some risks, but I knew exactly what I did and why it broke every time. It taught me how to quickly recover, which is good to know for any OS.

I'd call myself an intermediate enthusiast and I don't have a career that uses Linux, but I have never found Arch "hard". It just takes some reading and a little patience. The Arch Wiki has a majority of the answers, but if you have tried and failed to find the answer you need, the community is extremely savvy and are there to help you. They just prefer you to dig into the wiki and try for yourself before asking for help.

For desktop Linux, I use Arch. It's a community driven base distribution, so the needs of the community are what drives development and there are no financial decisions of a company that get priority, which is refreshing. It also has access to the latest and greatest that Linux has to offer.

They have a philosophy of expecting basic effort from users and to have a tinkering mindset. Historically, Arch devs and users have a reputation of being grumpy greybeards, but many of the rough edges have been rounded off in the last few years. If you are willing to do a bit of reading or watching some YouTube videos, it's not really that hard.

You can really build a lean and powerful machine that has just the software you want on the system with Arch. All it takes is a little effort and willingness to ask for help from the community after you have tried and failed to solve problems yourself. It's really not the badge of elitism to use Arch in 2023. It's never been easier to use and doesn't blow up on you nearly as often as the reputation implies. Just use good hygiene and make snapshots so if you blow it up, it's only a 5 minute recovery.
