I used to game a lot on a desktop, but now that I work at home, I kinda hate sitting in front of a PC. I wasnt playing a lot, but then got a steam deck at launch, and now I’m gaming a ton again.
I like the switch, but I really like how backwards compatible PC gaming is.
The only benefit to Netflix games is that these games have no ads or IAP.

Oh man. As a little kid I burned a LOT of time on the old DOS trek.exe.
Also still fire up Armada from time to time. With all the new ship classes in Online, I’d love to see an Armada 3.

Oh for sure. 👍 The scale of that would be huge. It was like when Obama asked Americans to get oil changes and tune ups. The media acted like that was silly to ask, but that would have made a noticeable impact. I’m not disputing scale, but I doubt you’ll get folks to cut back on beef so long as they see the wealthy aren’t sacrificing anything. “Why should i give up MY creator comforts when ONE FLIGHT from a billionaire will undo all my sacrifices for a whole year?” We need some HUGE wealth taxes on the ultra-luxury gear that pollutes the most. THEN I think we can put more pressure on people to cut back on the small luxuries.
More stories coming like this to prep folks for price hikes.
I completely agree on that, and while I’m obviously being a bit snarky, the best pressure we could put on rich people and industries would be to frame this as “we’re sacrificing so THEY can live large”. So a “hamburger index” isn’t necessarily out of order.
It’s not “whataboutism” to frame the scale of each contributing aspect of addressing climate change. Cutting a single rich person’s private jet flights by a flight a month will continue a LOT more than me cutting my remaining dozen cheeseburgers a year. I’m down to do that if the rich person also is willing to cut those flights though.
Oh good call! That’s cheap too!

Goggins is what got me on board too.
Sure, but maybe we could start quantifying the scale of flights to COP28 in terms of hamburgers consumed? I’m tired of the burden to correct for industrial sized pollution being placed on the backs of consumers. Yes. My eating almost no beef over the course of a year helps. I can cut out the 10-12 cheeseburgers I eat. Will my 12 cheeseburgers a year balance a single analyst flight to COP28?
Had a devil of a time finding a good cartoony cart racer for PC. Giving Team Sonic Racing a try this weekend. The great thing about having a young kid who’s just getting into gaming, it really leans me into patience. We get to revisit a TON of old games, and they’re CHEAP.
“Eat less meat people! Now if you’ll excuse me, I have conferences all over the world this week, and I have to get to my private jet…”
I mean, Ive been begging for a new media and gaming mode since the failed Windows XP Media Center Edition.
