I dual boot fedora with plasma (it has all my laptop drivers without me having to install anything) with Windows and it's pretty great, but I was out of Linux for a long time and there's things I don't remember. So I'm missing stuff and don't have the time to relearn what I knew 20 years ago.

It works well enough for day to day tasks and dev work. Windows works well enough to run some games.

The biblical god tried keeping the people ignorant. He destroyed almost all of humanity even though he is supposedly omnipotent and should have known what was going to happen from the beginning. His best friend had a dude sent to the front lines and killed so he could bang his wife. He promotes self mutilation. He had his own son killed. He allows babies to be raped. He directly condoned torture on a bet.

The biblical Satan gave us knowledge, offered to give Jesus whatever he wanted, and got his ass kicked by Michael. That's it.

I don't believe in any of that, but I know which one sounds like a movie villain and which one sounds like he's probably not so bad but it's persecuted by a bullying piece of garbage.

My case has a kick stand. If I'm holding it too long and not docking it I'm not ashamed to just prop it up, hook up an external controller, and keep playing.

I agree with everything here. I just want to leave behind a little nugget for anyone searching in the future that runs across this after searching 4k.

My deck would run 4k for a few minutes on my TV. Then it would disconnect from the dock. I actually didn't realize I had it in 4k because I had set it to 1280x800 manually on another dock back when I got it.

I had a hard time figuring out why my new dock seemed to be busted. A friend who had recently ran into the same issue told me to change my resolution and suddenly everything worked.

All I could find searching for it was people complaining that their dock cut out on them intermittently.

I've already got the emulator and the most of the SNES games downloaded (I grabbed a big pack of them). It's just currently not where she can see it because, as you said, I'm playing for time.

It's really only one night a week when she comes by after we get drunk at the bar that we play at the same time. So I'd have like 4 weeks where I wouldn't need to worry about it. Plus I've got a few two player games where I can dock it and we can play together. That'll buy me another couple of weeks. By then either I'll have her convinced or I'll just shell out the cash for a second one.

I loved iGoogle. I had my feeds set up just how I liked them. Then I moved to protopage when that went to the graveyard. Then a bunch of things (not everything) stopped updating.

I went back to check it out a few weeks ago and even fewer things were updating. A lot of places just let RSS fall by the wayside.

"Oh, you've got old school Nintendo games too?"

I ended up setting up a couple of emulators on an old laptop so I could have it back. She's more of a gamer than I am and I've just about got her convinced to grab a deck for remote play on her PS5. If I don't convince her soon I'm getting a second one because I know I'm gonna lose it again once she's done with NES.

I'm enjoying this whole thread of sandwiches, so thank you for making it! If I want practical I'll do ham and cheese with greens and tomatoes on sourdough or one of those BLTs you mentioned with fresh tomatoes right off the vine. But you asked for FAVORITE.

So now I've got to smoke a prime rib this weekend. I've got a 4 bone out in the deep freeze that I'll need to pull out tonight in honor of this thread.

I read this after I posted and now I feel bad for my ridiculously involved sandwich.

If someone were angry about what they're doing (not me, I've been through this so many times on so many sites that I'm apathetic) they could definitely put a coordinated effort into filling the subs that admins take over with anime titties to prove a point.

That would be fantastic.
