Nice little gay people inside?

Genesis: No

My phone: Yes

Can't you get video and audio from the lightning port?

Uugh, but admitting that would ruin my echo chamber conformation bias circle.

A meme comparing an 16-bit console to a modern cell phone isn’t that deep dude, lol

I'm sorry for being pedantic, but it's 16-bit.

The new iPhone 15 USB-C out isn’t gimped. I’ve hooked up headphones, a headset, an Ethernet adapter and they all worked. Even supports DP-Alt mode and you can hook up an external monitor with audio output.

I thought that was only true of the Pro model?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

Possibly. I have a Pro.

Sure, the we can mark expandable green but the rest stays red.

My Genesis has certainly brought me more joy than my smartphone, and that's including the fact that I can emulate Genesis games on my phone.

It was just... A simpler, happier time being a kid.

You guys enjoyed being kids? Whack

Well, technically the Genesis was a gift from a drug addict boyfriend of my mom's because of how uncool I was about her divorce. So... No?

But that's why video games rule.

I think that’s called nostalgia

(But yeah, it makes sense you have more fun with a gaming console than with an everyday device)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

I mean, phone calls and texts are a strong negative. Lol

That processing was so Blast!

I had picked up a Analogue Pocket and loaded every Nintendo and Sega game on it. I had to stop and think about what young me would think if I handed him something the size of a gameboy and said this is EVERYTHING.
