@amberxorluci one of those logitech mice with the spinny scroll wheel and a can of compressed air

@NeonPurpleStar its not that big! my main monitor is a 27inch 16:9 panel, and then my 2nd one is a 25inch 21:9 panel rotated vertically

... it just looks big on camera because i have small hands you see

@mrjunge @soft @NeonPurpleStar which is ironic considering the developers of GTA are British :blobcatSmileOpenMouth:

@soft @NeonPurpleStar o-oh,,, :blobcatFearful:

@NeonPurpleStar how the fuck do these things pass any pedestrian impact safety laws

@MxCraven thats what my hair does :blobcatOwo:

@tlapka

catboy keyboard catboy keyboard :blobcatBox:

meow tbh

@NeonPurpleStar @solidsanek @Vivisector you haven’t played a dedicated blue eyes deck i see

@solidsanek @Vivisector i played my blue eyes white dragon card at the bar. it did not help

just spent my evening watching an almost 2 hour long video essay about a Doom mod, how is everyone else doing

@NeonPurpleStar me looking at an old computer motherboard with failing capacitors

@NeonPurpleStar no its awful and I personally loathe it, but thats just the historical background on how we got here

@NeonPurpleStar I agree, but that problem arises from those two computing platforms arising from very different places

computers started as scientific and engineering tools, but phones started as basic appliances

computers went down-market into personal computers and brought the freedom and power with them. phones went up-market and brought immense compute power to a locked down home appliance

@NeonPurpleStar eh, not really. Android has support for x86 ( hello I daily drove an Intel Atom based phone for like 2 years ( ironically ) ) and MIPS ( but I don’t think any MIPS phones actually shipped? )

@NeonPurpleStar also the majority of the mobile market ( and the pre-smartphone PDA market ) was arm based anyway, going back to 90s nokias and psion PDAs

android/iOS didn’t have much to do with it imo

@amberxorluci berlusconi’s dead? love that bauhaus track

@NeonPurpleStar its depressing, but mobile stuff specifically is a shit market to be in frankly. margins can be tight at the low end, competition is fierce and the market has come to expect this stupid breakneck pace of yearly iteration and releases

so it becomes “we don’t have time to care, just get it working in time for release” and then immediately its on to the next thing
