Reply to Serious question, for those who know more about Catholicism and its influence on the world: Should we be concerned about the passing of this pope? by twovests

It's hard to really say for sure whether the next pope will be better or worse, or what impact they will have.

But I do think the pope's influence is somewhat diminished by how hyper-polarized the world has become today. No homophobic Catholic will hear the pope say that gays aren't so bad and have their minds changed, they'll dig in their heels and complain that now the pope has gone woke too.

Reply to This post is for FLEXING by cowloom

In 2021 I wrote a long essay about how several terrible publisher decisions were killing my favorite game. While some people agreed with what I had to say, I got quite a lot of backlash, including a few people with power and influence in the scene who bullied me into quitting.

Last year I broke my silence to put out a followup video essay about how the passage of time proved me 200% correct. FUCK YOU I WAS RIGHT.

Reply to Three handheld consoles, one review so far by twovests

I bought a Miyoo Mini Plus almost two years ago. Love it so much that I wish I'd bought a more expensive model with analog sticks.

Now I'm in the rabbit hole of salivating at all these fancy new handhelds on the market, but never actually buying another one because something better will be right around the corner. Holding out for the day someone gets SteamOS running in this form factor.
