Feeling overwhelmed with too many devices, but each one serves a purpose. Switch 2 is where I play Fortnite with the kids and Nintendo exclusives. Steam Deck is my main game machine. iPad is where I organize my life. MacBook is my favorite of all my devices and where I spend the most time, wish I could do everything on a #Mac

I would say I still enjoy the OLED Switch more. It reminds me of the NES and SNES era of accessories and fun. There is a magic and a charm to it.

The Switch 2 is more of a tool for me. It has the performance to get the job done, but there is nothing noteworthy about the hardware involved.

My experience so far with Switch 2 vs Switch 1:

The Switch 2 is inarguably a major performance upgrade over its predecessor. Games like Fortnite are now playable competitively and look great. The new screen is a blessing to my 40 year old eyes, especially in polygonal games.

On the flip side I still enjoy my OLED Switch. It feels better to hold with its compact metal body and the colorful plasticky joycons just scream fun. The smaller screen is still spacious enough for 2D games.

Is there a way on #mastodon to see only posts in your native #language or to have all posts on your feed use #translation automatically?

I was reading a story today about #theoldnet and how if you leave an “&” symbol at the end of an #email , it means you want the recipient to reply back. Does anyone remember this or still do this today? I don’t recall that being a thing or maybe it was and I didn’t notice. Gonna tag below with adjacent words in hopes of response.

Apple may put ads in Maps

I came to Apple in 2020 after being a life long Android and Windows user. I was so tired of the bombardment of data requests and ads. I have been super happy in...

@Oregon_Pacifist Okay I get it now. It is similar to Mastodon in that you can setup your own real server (unlike Discord where a server is really just a chat group). I guess I was going in to it thinking that 199X was a chat group for retro games and stuff. But it is actually a host for other people who want to make their own chat group. Is that correct?
