the one tiny content trend that bugs me the most is when a review is framed as an "honest" review, as if everyone else is being deceitful in some way.

that one word sets a tone that is disparaging of their peers who are doing the same work and frames themselves as "the one source of truth" when — in many cases — an audience should be consulting a number of reviews before making a decision.

How is it that stuff like the Analogue Pocket, the Miyoo Mini and many similar retro consoles exist, many of which can emulate everything under the PS2 or even above that.

Many of them are able to run custom OSs, load whatever from a micro SD card, use standard battery modules that are replaceable.

How is there not an eBook e-ink reader with this?? Why is there just super proprietary Amazon stuff, or regular proprietary Kobo stuff?

And the ones with USB C are super expensive aaaaaaaaa

Apple Arcade seems to be heading towards a "reboot" of sorts, and I would guess it's because of the lack of perceived prestige in the gaming space vs its television and film divisions: https://wavelengths.online/posts/apple-arcade-s-prestige-problem ⏆

I have successfully achieved a 4K, stutter-free stream of Sunshine/Moonlight with my Vision Pro in Europe after many attempts.

Balatro, out tomorrow on all platforms, is the best deckbuilding roguelike I've played since Slay the Spire. The other day I literally played it until my Switch ran out of battery, which I have NEVER done in the seven years of the Switch existing. I made a video showing off a pretty basic run!

Thanks to @joel I find myself listening to a four hour and fourty five minute long (!!) podcast episode about a single game: Paper Mario 2, and I'm loving every minute of it, especially the laughter of the hosts: https://intothecast.online/

can’t really overstate how much my reddit usage has plummeted since apollo got shut down. i have narwhal and i check it like… sometimes?

but that’s maybe once every few days instead of multiple times daily with apollo.
