There’s a Subway in the gas station near my house.

I’m old enough that I still have my original Game Boy that I got as a kid in elementary school, so I have been playing on handhelds for decades.

The Switch was the first “Flagship” handheld meant to compete with home consoles. It proved that there was a market for such a device, then the Steam Deck capitalized hard and the rest is history.

Sure, you can split hairs & say that the Nomad was technically a handheld Genesis, or get even more technical and say that the Game Gear was a handheld Master System, but neither one took over the market like the Switch. Hell, I’ve never seen a Nomad outside of a retro game store, it’s basically a rounding error in market share percentage just below the Atari Lynx.

I’d say the last big “revolutionizing” thing in gaming was the release of the Nintendo Switch in 2017. All of the current handhelds owe their success to the Switch.

Aim at the ground & pull the trigger.

Hell yeah, Bomb Pop!

The wild variations in what people consider “a great time” will never cease to amaze me.

Let me check the yard, someone said there’s a Subaru out back

I’m sorry. I meant “Yuuuuuuttthhhhzz”.

According to a former Marine buddy of mine: “Deployments are just a bunch of straight guys doing gay shit for months.”

I don’t need pre-aged, I have those already. I need fresh ones.

Me, after 30 seconds of black screen on my Steam Deck trying to play a game with “unknown” compatibility.

Gasp!

They said they would never forget!!!

I’ve always been into techy hobbies and some of the crafty stuff goes right along. I have a Silhouette machine, a laser cutter, and a couple 3D printers.

Been eyeballing embroidery machines lately, but haven’t pulled the trigger yet.

Make Yuri Great Again!

…wait… It always has been!

Pretty sure I have this for my Atari SE. Double sided floppy (heh), the other side has ladies.

I’d like to throw my entry into the ring

The inventory robot was doing a little dance trying to get out of the way of me & 2 other people in the grocery store yesterday, and the first thing I thought was “… fuckin’ clanker…”

The Hard R™ was necessary.
