    1. Anywhere else. If they’re living in a tent, they don’t have any networks of support.
    2. …as opposed to how will they afford to stay there? Which they can’t. Take your car or tent and leave. They don’t just let people be homeless in Europe, right?
    3. Nothing. That’s what they want. That’s what will happen. They’ve succeeded in creating enough of a global wealth gap that for a minimum of the next few generations, there will always be enough people that are poor enough that they would happily take functional indentured servitude on a rich persons island mansion. They’ve sucked almost everything from the middle class that its no longer a necessary class. At this point anyone between extreme wealth and extreme poverty is only getting in the way of what the rich want by demanding things like being able to live above extreme poverty.



  • I never had one that could do anything other than wifi and USB. I bought broken ones for <$40 and would put together “fresh” rebuilds with emulators to “donate”. Thinking about it I miss the hax0r more than their use. Replaying Pokémon emerald for hours during off time was just a benefit.


  • Same same. I really really want buttons, but I’ve been playing on touch screen emulators since the… I forget what it was even called, iTouch is a crime, so it was ipod touch? Idk, the first through maybe 3rd gen of those. 2012 hardware. I actually love the bigger screen and some graphic enhancements that the emulators/mods can do. But my steam deck is still a big thing to carry. Unless I know that’s the only thing I’m using when I’m out, I feel like I need a backpack to carry it and other stuff. I’ll have to dive into the rabbit hole of Chinese pocket emulators, I’ve only kept up with the us/euro Kickstarter type ones. Something pocket sized with buttons is really all I want. But again, do I need to consume that when I already have multiple options?


  • I 100% amazing mirror several times on GBA. Loved that device and many games it had. I want a modern pocket emulator GB device but can’t justify it since I already have a Steam deck. Or a phone. I guess nostalgia doesn’t hold enough monetary value to me to profit off of.
