It is a pretty good experience, especially with upscaling of older systems.
My favorite is when games have been decomp/ported so they have quality of life improvements. This allows for stuff like widescreen 60-fps Perfect Dark.

Honestly all of this bullshit is why I went with a Steamdeck a few years ago. As a working adult with a family I have different economic obligations and priorities.
I need to build a new PC soon (mine is now 10 years old) but I can't justify spending $5K on a gaming rig. If I built now with a flagship card, just the card itself would cost more than I spent on my entire rig when I built it in 2014/2015. Pair that with Microsoft's ridiculous operating system enshittification, and the PC situation gets even more complicated for me.
Consoles have gotten to be a bad value proposition for me as well. Paper launches, scalping during the pandemic, DRM etc., services going offline. All that garbage leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
I'm having a decent enough time with Steam sale games, Indy games, and retro emulation.
They need to make an open source version of the Hitster card game that lets you use this to listen to the whole song (if you choose) whether you have a Spotify account or not.
If I go pitch a tent in Vatican City and take up permanent residence there, presumably he will order the Swiss Guard not to deport me. Good to know.
Yknow one great thing that costs about 1.99 (one time cost)?
Those little plastic slidy bits that cover up the laptop webcam and mic.
Biden took a protectionist action by blocking a Japanese company's purchase of a major US Steel company. Trump took further protectionist action by tariffing foreign steel.
Now both of those may have backfired because the market manipulation prevented outside investors from modernizing US steel production facilities, and protective tariffs by definition raise prices.
In effect it is less competition and crappier product for US consumers.
The Galaxy S8 was a good device (I had one) but you're right it is insanely old at 7 years.
You should absolutely ditch it though because as best I can tell, it hasn't received OS updates and Security patches since 2021.
Keep in mind if you do switch to GrapheneOS you will want to look into a Pixel, which have an OEM support period of 7 years (meaning they will continue to receive security updates). For example if you got a Pixel 9 you will get support until August 2031.
GrapheneOS also committed to do additional "harm reduction" security updates for many devices to extend the support beyond that period.
Oh well, GG
Suppressors should be removed from the NFA and become an over-the-counter product like they are in Europe and elsewhere.
It is "yes, and".
Dude has unhinged and awful political and social views, seemingly unmoored by any governing principles, and he also clearly has manic features and likely could benefit from some treatment.
Respectfully, do some reading of even middleschool level history books. He didn't personally decide to "be mean" to particular groups. His worldview was shaped by the post WWI dynamics in Europe, latent stereotypes and domestic problems within Germany, and a whole lot of misapplied emerging science. He literally believed in racial supremecy and was trying to build an ethnostate. This motivated him to define groups of ethnic "undesirables" and also to lump in other groups that he found politically inconvenient. Read about the scapegoating of Jews circa that time. He likely believed his cruelty towards them was somehow justified because he laid all of Germany's problems (economic issues, humiliation of the country and loss of territory post-WWI) at their feet.
TL; DR - Bad actors believe their evil behavior is justified.
I wish I could do that "meh" of a job and still make as much money in my career as Andy Dalton.
