It's not about how many syllables there are but what is in those syllables

Jerker is an extra swedish version of Erik iirc. You still meet people called that.

I'd heard of Jerk before but Jerker is even funnier because of

Now that one is on you. That's one of the three graces.

My apologies to the Greeks but that's simply a mouthful

lmao, this is like something out of a particularly heavy-handed religious parable. Looking forward to the imminent smiting

Wasn't handheld gaming pretty socially acceptable in Japan? IIRC, the regular DS was very popular among women there. Probably has something to do with how much time people spend commuting by train there

A lot millennials back in 201x were extremely confident that right-wing reactionary thought would somehow "die out" and they dont need to do nothing.

These young dudes seemingly just go straight from babby to reactionary

There are small cheap Linux handhelds, but those are pretty weak and definitely aimed at retro gaming.

Aliexpress handhelds are mostly intended for retro console emulation. Apparently you can use Winlator to play New Vegas on something like a Retroid Pocket 5 though

I assume abortion is just a normal thing to most of them and opposing it is like opposing wisdom tooth surgery or something

My edgy atheist phase continues to be vindicated

Smartphones killed handheld gaming. Even the first Switch just had regular console games you could take on the road

Because you can't squeeze the guts of a modern console into something Vita-sized? The PSP and Vita didn't play full PS2 and PS3 games either but cut down ports optimised for their hardware. The most top-of-the-line modern phones are extremely powerful but from what I understand they overheat and have a similarly limited battery life.

People should just play old games anyway

Your country allied with the Nazis.

"The USSR was just as bad"

"The Allies didn't want to help us"

"We just wanted our stolen territory back"

They're not even bothered by it

This reminds me of how one of my (Finnish) relatives once told me that the absolute worst thing Russia ever did to Estonia was leaving Estonia with a large Russian-speaking population, talking about them like unexploded ordnance or landmines.

"They managed to get rid of Communism, but they can never be rid of the Russians..."

That same person has friends who are Russian-speaking Estonians

I'd be going to a local bike kitchen to get this done, so they'd likely have the right tools for the job. I just want to figure out if it's something I could get done in one go in the few hours those places are open because the bike would obviously not be rideable until it was done.

I just prefer tall and wide handlebars on upright bikes like these- I feel like they give me much finer control and they feel more stable.

A while back I got recommended these types of channels all the time. All the "1950s" thumbnails featured ladies with massive greased up racks in stripper outfits

They don't want niche porn games, they want big mainstream games that reflect their values and worldview. They want a return to a time when most games were made by extremely horny dudes for an audience of extremely horny dudes. They want female characters that are waifus and weird perverted easter eggs that reward them for peeking under skirts or whatever and they want to be assured that liking those things is Cool and Normal

It's more about what sexualised female characters with massive jiggling tits signal: that the horny male gamer is still the target audience

I don't think I've ever heard of anyone using PCSX2 for PS1 games, and I don't think it's even intended to do so. Even if it runs PS1 games it probably doesn't have all the amazing graphics options Duckstation has. The two emulators are very similar anyway in terms of UI and user experience
