It's literally illegal for a post worker to not give you junk mail in the US.

That's engagement/rage bait. Obviously nothing's replacing the bicycle.

There's an international grocery near me that has at least one type of nut and one dried fruit on steep sale each week. Just buy a couple pounds of those each week. It's not all I eat, but it's pretty much all I snack on. Probably about 20% of my diet.

The Oracle games had GBA releases? Wow, that's news to me.

I've seen this kind of defensive comment from you before when you've been called out. I personally do not mind the "spam." Lemmy is always short on new posts, so spam away. What I want to show you is how your posts end up looking to others.
Like this

The headline/subject is always cut off because it's too long. Just think you should paraphrase it abbreviate when possible and permitted by the Lemmy community in order to avoid making posts that don't make sense. In this case, I'd just leave it at "Scared Shitless Official Trailer" and leave the description for the body of the post.

I've done my share of console software mods, but PS2 was one of the more confusing ones for sure. From what I remember, the HDD loader is the most recommended method, but it requires either a drive with an outdated connection that mostly is not manufactured anymore or another hardware mod to make it compatible with SATA HDDs. You also need to format it in a way that makes it a huge pain in the ass to load games above a certain size or you can use a modified version of the loader on the PS2 firmware that can read NTFS formatted drives, but is harder to find guides for and I believe some PC-side tools are incompatible with it. I also experienced multiple unexplainable bugs throughout the process. I fully gave up after failing to get box art and widescreen cheats working on my modded PS2 and just emulate on Steam Deck instead.

But even if all of this did work, the other poster is right; after opening multiple menus and picking a game from a list, it just doesn't actually feel that much like playing a PS2 anymore.

The system is also designed to transmit vibrations into the chassis through elastomeric bushings, mimicking an internal combustion engine and its motor mounts.

I get that EVs need to make noise, but what the fuck is this? One of the best things about driving something without an ICE is the car doesn't vibrate at all while it's on.

Some life, sure. We'll extinct untold millions of species on the way out. Michael Crichton, the author of Jurassic Park, was a climate change denier, not a scientist.

Trying to be happy for the rest of the world.

This is the second plug-in I've read about in the last two weeks that causes major system crashes on the Steam Deck. Why are these little add on tools breaking the whole OS? That's nuts.

Wild to me that they still have yet to fix their Android TV Hulu app. It's a premium streaming service with essentially no functionality on a significant number of streaming devices.

Starting to think Lego finally realized how big the adult nerd merch market is and now they're all in. Look I'm sure this set makes certain demographics on the Internet very happy, but it just highlights how different Lego is these days. For better or worse, Lego would never have produced this set 10 years ago. It's an awkwardly rendered head of a videogame character and that's it. Fuck, I'm gonna rant now.

I know it's been said a million times, but I really miss old Lego themes untied to other brands. I'm aware that Star Wars and other IP saved the company from going under 20+ years ago, but they're not a struggling business anymore. They don't need to be making displays of pop culture references instead of original concepts to stay afloat; they're doing it because it's insanely profitable. Just make something new, please. I don't even want "old Lego" nostalgia fan service with revived legacy themes. Just do something other than "city" that isn't based on some other company's media.
