How can this be? All the games I buy on Steam are cheaper than on other platforms. Where are these cheaper games?

Retro Arcade Handheld Super Pocket Announced With Classic Arcade Games Galore | Tech Raptor (techraptor.net)

HyperMegaTech has announced the Super Pocket, a new retro arcade handheld that comes complete with a bunch of classic arcade titles for you to enjoy. It’s available in two editions: the Capcom Edition and the Taito Edition, each with its own unique lineup of games....

Just announced? Crazy, I already have the Taito version.

Microsoft in damage-control mode, says it will prioritize security over AI (arstechnica.com)

Microsoft is pivoting its company culture to make security a top priority, President Brad Smith testified to Congress on Thursday, promising that security will be “more important even than the company’s work on artificial intelligence.”...

The only way to get them to really make changes is to leave.

BigTrout75 ,

I’m guessing this means new pi versions soon.

BigTrout75 ,

I tip if there was something to tip. Fast casual dining with me bussing, nope. Receiving a cup for coffee that I pump and setup, nope.

Neighbor’s cat murdered a bird the other week. The next day, I found random bird flesh piece on my back deck. It happens.

BigTrout75 ,

Would have like it more if Kitty would have not left a feather and gut mess.

Didn’t they know Woodsy Owl? Sadly this is why we can’t have nice things and why parks can cost $10 to visit.

BigTrout75 ,

Didn’t Microsoft do this with the Microsoft Live service? After so many years, they stopped supporting the service and the games are pretty much useless.

BigTrout75 ,

Support small indie bands. No need for big businesses crap.

We have unit price labeling here in Oregon, but they use different measurements for the same type of is products.

I’m older so probably not in the demographic. I had a PS4 and liked it. My only complaint was paying for online service. But getting “free” games with the service, okay sure. Lol, you can play some games without PS+. I found this out playing rocket League, yay?

I thought about getting a PS5, but I’m not down with the whole rat race vibe. Paying more then retail seems silly. Resellers, nope. After 3 years the luster of having a new console is over. I’m fine with Steam.

BigTrout75 ,

I don’t see this working. The reason that Apple and ARM work is because Apple controls the whole ecosystem on Macs.

BigTrout75 ,

This is true, I asked a new-ish employee about getting/saving for a house and she was like, “why bother? They cost to much.”

BigTrout75 ,

From my experience, eating out costs more, I try to make it worth it. Spending $20 on lunch causally ads up to quickly.

Some of the larger cities around here have been dealing with the opioid crisis and homelessness. It’s not uncommon to see needles or human fences on sidewalks. Able families are going to move. Plus housing is super expensive.

BigTrout75 ,

I always feeling like a weirdo when just ordered a small coffee. Pro-tip: it’s better getting coffee at a bakery because their danishes didn’t come from plastic bags.

Netflix Windows app is set to remove its downloads feature, while introducing ads (www.techradar.com)

Netflix has managed to annoy a good number of its users with an announcement about an upcoming update to its Windows 11 (and Windows 10) app: support for adverts and live events will be added, but the ability to download content is being taken away....

BigTrout75 ,

This is no big deal because Windows users are used to ads. Sorry feeling snarky.

BigTrout75 ,

Really don’t need to hear anything coming from this guy. It’s always batshit crazy and it’s a waste of time.

BigTrout75 ,

Ha ha ha

BigTrout75 ,

I upgraded to PC running Linux instead

BigTrout75 ,

If a title asks a question, the answer is always “no”. No?

BigTrout75 ,

I didn’t agree with this decision. Life is precious.

She should do some extreme sports. Jump out of a plane with one of those flying squirrel things.

Hopefully she donates her organs

US prisoners are being assigned dangerous jobs. But what happens if they are hurt or killed? (apnews.com)

Blas Sanchez was nearing the end of a 20-year stretch in an Arizona prison when he was leased out to work at Hickman’s Family Farms, which sells eggs that end up in the supply chains of huge companies like McDonald’s, Target and Albertsons. While assigned to a machine that churns chicken droppings into compost, his right leg...

BigTrout75 ,

You get another prisoner? Sorry didn’t read the article.

BigTrout75 ,

Guess I’ll just buy a cheap used one then

BigTrout75 ,

Microsoft isn’t slacking with teams.

BigTrout75 ,

Microsoft doesn’t need those studios, just the IPs.

BigTrout75 ,

Like how the NES game Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles had Pizza Hut ads? Or like how the NES and Genesis have McDonald’s games?

[Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism?

Seen a lot of posts on Lemmy with vegan-adjacent sentiments but the comments are typically very critical of vegan ideas, even when they don’t come from vegans themselves. Why is this topic in particular so polarising on the internet? Especially since unlike politics for example, it seems like people don’t really get upset by...

BigTrout75 ,

Not just vegans. These a million of things that bring this up in people.

Holier Than Tho - “having or showing the annoying attitude of people who believe that they are morally better than other people.”

BigTrout75 ,

AM radio is great at programming people

Why is there a surge of deodorant products mostly advertised to women in the US?

So I have balls and yeah they’re the first thing on my body to start to smell. I can skip a shower if I’m in a hurry and I don’t smell much. That’s with working a job that’s usually physical. I was a punk kid fucking punk girls when I was younger and we didn’t bathe every day. I didn’t notice much smell then....

BigTrout75 ,

Ha ha I always guilt my wife with these commercials. “Do you need that?” She hates those annoying commercials. There the equivalent to all these dumb men’s soap commercials for crap like this. www.drsquatch.com

BigTrout75 ,

Gen-x’ers have been dealing with this forever. Nothing new.

BigTrout75 ,

Article for the sake of having an article.

BigTrout75 ,

I like to imagine somebody in a call center remotely driving your car.
