If you’re techy at all, get an iFixit toolkit for small or proprietary screw heads. What a lifesaver that’s been; even for things like hex heads in furniture.

Always have a stocked liquor cabinet. Doesn’t matter if you drink or not - if you wanna be an accommodating host, make sure you at least have something to offer. You’ll feel like a bad host if you don’t at least offer.

I use my Neat steamer at least once a season for deep cleaning all over the house.

Air filters are great and seriously help keep the air clean and less stale, especially if you have pets. Most guests have no idea I have a cat until I show her off.

A good cooler is always useful. You don’t need to splurge for a yeti, but from having people in the yard, to keeping canned drinks cold for a party, a good cooler that can hold ice and drinks is invaluable for an event you’re hosting.

This is why I moved to iPhone a few years ago. Every premium android was a legit knockoff of iPhone in every single way, down to the lack of a headphone jack and SD card slot. Why continue chasing these phones that aren’t even as good as the real thing?

Android USED TO be better than iPhone, but Google is just gung-ho on enshitification. Apple, for the walled garden that it is, at least works well with its eco system. Android is so fragmented and complicated that it’s collapsing under its own weight.

I don’t use “AI” cause chat bots are stupid. AI has been fine for decades, the cars in Gran Turismo had sufficient AI to drive around the track. This modern definition is just horse shit for another attempt at Silicon Valley to claim they are superior than every other industry. Sam Altman is a fraud and modern “AI” gobeldyguk.

Yes it does very much, but it took a lot of work to get up and running and I recently reset my SteamDeck and I didn’t want to go through the hassle again. It’s also nice to have cloud saves and just general steam features.

Linux/SteamDeck = Good Anything else = bad

Porn games should be available for all, but GOG sucks because they did something shitty years ago.

The only thing worse than a right winger is the wrong kind of leftist. (I feel this is a global thing not only US)

ABOUT TIME! This was the one I was waiting for! I LOVED Hexen back in the day, I tried to play it on SteamDeck a few times, it never works out quite right. This is very welcome news!

Well that’s awful.

I don’t touch the AIs so I don’t know what that means.

It’s really sad cause I’m big into tech and gadgets but AI is just garbage.

No one: Satya Nadella summer 2026: Introducing Microsoft Surface Xbox With Microsoft Co-Pilot laptop and Microsoft Surface Xbox With Microsoft Co-pilot+ X.

Not really. I got 2 kids. I sometimes have an hour a day to play. And even then it’s decision paralysis of what to play that I can get a satisfying enough session in the little time I have.

I have a steam deck and it’s handy, but I also have game pass and I’ve been wanting to play some gamepass games on it. So it becomes the decision paralysis of what do I play. I would love to play games like Heroes of Might and Magic 3 or Civilization or Cities Skylines but I don’t have that kind of time to dedicate to complete a FULL session anymore.

Lately is been Doom Dark Ages.

I always viewed PUSA as a more original rock flavored Weird Al. Similar energy, but they did their own thing.

Fun fact, the lead singer went on to write many albums of children’s music as Caspar Baby Pants.
