Inflation adjustment doesn't really tell the whole story though, it's not like salaries have gone up by the same amount. Regardless, I don't like dealing with the Zero unless I specifically need something that tiny. It's just too annoying. Don't get me wrong! They're cool! I'm just saying unless I really need a Pi Zero I wouldn't wanna work with one. I'd rather work with x86_64 than Arm. Like even just getting Java working was really tricky on Zero. Much like a microcontroller has limitations for what you can run on them but they have other benefits, Zeros aren't really general purpose.

So yeah, dirt cheap used laptop for general purpose server beats out dirt cheap Pi in my book.

Refusing to acknowledge that queer people exist is "political" and queer people engaging in escapism deserve to feel seem and included.

Which part? Because the "it's not x86" is even more annoying to deal with on Pi Zero lol.

The shitty 2010 laptop isn't disappearing

No reason why a laptop wouldn't work though.

Also, Raspberry Pi first got popular because of the size and cost. Now it's popular because it's popular. Not hating on them, I think they're cool, but they're not cheap any more. Especially with the scalping.

Getting x86_64 based systems is going to mean much less headache. Unless you truly truly need the size I wouldn't consider getting a Pi or other SBC. Just go to literally any used marketplace (Facebook, Craigslist, etc) and get anything.

"This only applies to the most widely used OS and won't work without someone clicking grant admin permissions which most people probably do blindly."

🙄 Ugh

You did not say might you said it would.

You're saying if we didn't have the Switch we would've had the Steam Deck earlier but you're also saying the Steam Deck is something totally independent of the Switch. But if it was totally independent, why do you think it would've come earlier if the Switch didn't exist? That's why I'm saying you're contradicting yourself.

Seeding illegal, leeching legal! This is not advice, be kind and seed!

The third one is hilarious. Like some filter is like "whoa whoa you can't commit suicide in an image, but shooting your shadow? Deep. Poignant. Mysterious. I'll allow it."

I don't get this line of thinking... If you're using arguments like "you can run past them but it's safer to kill them so they stop attacking" how does that not apply to BotW/TotK? Obviously some eneny camps you ignore because they're irrelevant, it is an open world game after all, all open world games are like that (many learned the hard way why you should ignore giants in Skyrim lol). But in areas where you're trying to accomplish something, you "need" to kill them because they're attacking. That's still true.

You can't say "I dislike the game because it doesn't give me a reason to kill enemies" while saying "in Doom you don't need to kill enemies but it's easier if you do" when BotW/TotK are both easier if you kill enemies. And I know you're not the one who said it, but you're changing the context of the conversation.
