Still has better ping than my CS2 teammates

Pretty solid, they’ve been getting really good at the monthly game selections recently.

That is true, two things can be true at once. I sometimes fail to realize that.

The website includes a quote from a Reddit employee:

Old Reddit’s logged-out experience is a significant source of abusive scraping and automated traffic on the platform. It’s also an important interface for many long-time mods and Redditors. To strike the right balance between preserving your access to Old Reddit while preventing abusive scraping and automated traffic, over the next month we will start requiring everyone to log in.

I didn’t realize casually browsing a website is “abusive scraping”. Isn’t that the equivalent of claiming that reading a news article online is “abusive scraping”?

That makes sense. Regarding your comment re:

“You could definitely simplify an OS like Linux to be more console oriented

I keep seeing videos on YouTube of people installing Ubuntu on their PS5’s - do you think this will gain traction with Sony and Microsoft and allow consumers to install a Linux distro officially like how Steam has SteamOS?

I also notice that when there is a discussion or video regarding modding a console, it’s to “preserve” its longevity rather than having a practical use.

What would be an open platform for consoles?

That’s not what I’ve heard, people on Reddit have been praising its performance saying it’s close to PS5 performance; but even then, a PS4 Pro level performance for a handheld is pretty good in my books.

I genuinely believe the switch 2 is the best bang for your buck, especially now with the way things are looking with hardware price increases. The performance is very close to PS5 (I’ve heard ranges between PS4 Pro and PS5) whilst having the capability to output to 4K when docked. For $629.96 CAD (or $699.96 CAD for the bundle), you absolutely cannot beat that price.

I’m not glazing Nintendo. Xbox Series S is $449.96 CAD including a controller and 512gb SSD, but you’d be sacrificing a lot of performance (it’s funny when they say it can go “up to 120fps” when I know from experience it absolutely does not). PlayStation 5 is $749.96 CAD for the digital edition. Looking at my options knowing what kind of performance the Switch 2 has, I would rather pay the $629.96 CAD because it has one feature that cannot be beat; it can be played handheld or docked. If you want an Xbox handheld, you’d have to look into handheld PC’s like the ASUS ROG Ally or the Steam deck. If you want a PS5 handheld you’d need a PS5 and a $319.96 CAD PlayStation Portal. For me, the price to performance of the Switch 2, and the features that come with it, is why I prefer the Switch 2.

Zuck saw Gabe’s new mansion and got jealous

I’m assuming this also applies to Consoles as well: Sony removed purchased movies from people’s Sony Pictures Core app. I wonder if, or when, they’ll decide to do the same to games.

If it does come to that: what are our options as console gamers (other than piracy)? Buying physical discs?

I’m pretty sure they are used together; TOR to access the dark web and the VPN to keep the feds off you.

I have absolutely no experience in coding, programming, or anything to do with how Linux works and operates - I was easily able to install CachyOS onto my laptop removing windows completely. Reading comprehension is difficult if one isn’t used to reading wikis, however it’s pretty self explanatory; if a monkey like me can do it, anyone can.
