I never had a problem with Wesley, and the actor (Wil Wheaton) gained more of my respect after I heard about the emotional abuse he was dealing with at home while the show was being made. To go through that and still put on a good performance is to be commended imo.

I want to believe that freedom of speech is important, and that outright censorship of any view contrary to the mainstream view is not the way forward. But if you look at a place like Voat was (which prided itself on being truly free speech), my god what a shit hole of racists and homophobes that site turned into. So there has to be some degree of guidance.

BUT there also still has to be a way for people to critique their government, or else we end up with the thought police of Orwell’s 1984.

Glad to see you find my spreadsheet useful, was thinking about posting a link to it in this community if that’s ok.

as for my devices, I never really set out to be a collector, I just wanted the best possible experience for my use case of older 16-bit 4:3 games, which to be honest 90% of what I play are kaizo mario world romhacks. So I currently only use an Anbernic RG353M and an Analogue Pocket for handhelds, and a Raspberry Pi 4 and MiSTer FPGA for playing on a TV.

but at some point I want to get a powerful handheld capable of PS2 (like I mean all PS2). At this point it seems like only the windows handhelds are at that level but tbh I’m not interested in something huge like a Steam Deck or even windows in general actually. Odin seems nice but seems like it’s not quite 100% PS2 capable, something in that form factor with a little more power would be ideal though.

I use a Moleskin Cahier notebook slipped into a Yellow Birch Outfitters PocKit Pro to keep it from getting destroyed. I like the Cahier notebooks because they have perforated pages that I can tear out and leave notes stuck to places with glue dots.

If you’re just looking for the most durable notebook though, something like the Rite In The Rain spiral bound notebooks would work. Just my opinion but for pocketability’s sake I would advise against a hard case since it’ll be bulky and won’t conform to the curves of your body.

just watched it, super hype episode.

spoiler

loved the cat and mouse chasing of Juliette and how they left the viewer in the dark for a bit as to where she is hiding, then for her to show up in Sim’s apartment was nicely done.

so only one more episode in this season right? can’t wait to see how it turns out.

Actual psychopaths have brains that are wired differently than normal people, they are literally not capable of feeling empathy or are able to feel the pain they caused that allowed them to amass their fortune. So yeah in a way I think that makes them less than human.
