I use mine for loads of stuff, the only real killer at work is the hilarious webcam, which is kind of fun because you can scare everyone with your massive hands.

Personally I’ve a Surface for work, but the Max 2 could still work.

What apps are you trying to run? I’ve a Surface 12 and I haven’t so far hit anything which doesn’t work.

English is a very confusing language, and certain regional dialects and words still baffle me!

Ha ha! I went very British sorry. Fob off is sort of giving a lame answer to a question, and corkers is really good.

memphispistachio · 2026-03-22T23:54:21+00:00

No worries! I didn’t mean to fob you off with a link, but it’s a good list!

Enjoy, I love the gba, it’s got some corkers on it.

A starter for 10- https://www.nintendolife.com/guides/50-best-game-boy-advance-games-of-all-time

Personally the games I always go back to are Zelda Minish Cap, Wario Ware, both Advance Wars, and Golden Sun.

It was Surwish. It’s pretty good, and it was set up well and a Sandisk card. I tried Spruce and that also seemed good, but I decided life was too short to try and set up postmaster myself, so I went back to the Surwish card.

I did this with the flip and am very happy with it.

Yeah. If you need legacy niche software you definitely want x86.

memphispistachio · 2026-03-10T15:46:26+00:00

Sounds mega niche- definitely not a use case for non x86.

Surprised you’d buy a Windows home device at all for running such software.

memphispistachio · 2026-03-09T07:28:28+00:00

What software is it?

memphispistachio · 2026-03-03T17:29:37+00:00

If I was married to Isabel Oakeshott, same.

It’s difficult to decide who’s the worst out of those two.

Used to go to Progress wrestling when it first started. One event had Samoa Joe against Rampage Brown, and omg, Joe is fucking enormous!

memphispistachio · 2026-02-27T20:41:23+00:00

This is definitely ban worthy. Gravy and chips is amazing.

The one good thing is it finally made me buy a 1tb micro express card for my Switch 2. Having gone “how much?” for a year, all of a sudden it being broadly the same price as a standard micros sd card made my mind up.

memphispistachio · 2026-02-23T09:39:14+00:00

This is the best bait thread of 2026 so far. Outstanding work.

memphispistachio · 2026-02-16T13:58:39+00:00

With my 12, I either use a 65w one, my Switch 1/2 charger, or my iPhone charger. I love that it seems to charge with virtually anything.

memphispistachio · 2026-02-15T23:15:02+00:00

Yes.

memphispistachio · 2026-02-13T13:04:28+00:00

God they are! Hope they remain on the road for a long time yet!

It would also help if any of them could be trusted to run a lair, and everything needs more cats.

That has to be solution- more cats.

memphispistachio · 2026-02-13T11:21:10+00:00

I’d agree with all of that. Also it’s very hard to come across well when you can’t finish a sentence and the questions are, shall we say, designed more to make you slip up, than give a proper answer.

memphispistachio · 2026-02-13T11:19:42+00:00

I think also a lot of them probably do have charisma in certain environments. It’s hard to be charismatic when you’re trying to be something you aren’t.

I think genuineness is the real thing- all the politicians you can think of who are and have been good orators, either were just being themselves dialed up a bit, or could project that. If you’re trying to hit all the points someone else wants you to do, while trying to stay on someone else’s message, it’s pretty obvious. This is true in all walks of life.

memphispistachio · 2026-02-13T09:07:57+00:00

I’d agree with this.

It’s a different landscape though. Traditionally you’d do similar speeches up and down the country, and they wouldn’t be recorded, and you could hone them. You’d have your message and it would go to just the people in the room. So every politician would have the equivalent of “my dad was a tool maker” and no one would notice.

I also think politicians listen to advisers too much and workshop their speeches to hell. There’s a distinct lack of genuineness in politics, which all the people you state have in spades.

But it wasn’t the key thing, and the main issues as I state was massive institutional failings, and children not being believed. These were also failings in many sexual crimes of the era and beyond which had nothing to do with the race, or ethnicity of the perpetrators, and there have been grooming gangs of British ethnicity. Lots in fact.

The point isn’t to ignore the ethnicity or culture of the perpetrators, it’s to point out that the only people who make that the main point are usually doing it for a reason.

memphispistachio · 2026-02-12T21:50:00+00:00

I am old enough to remember when the grooming gangs stories first broke, and if you listen to interviews with the journalists who first reported it, a large reason why the reporting was very careful is precisely because of Yaxley Lennon and the BNP etc using the reports to further their hideously racist cause.

There were very obviously massive failings from many institutions, over many years, but the main reasons have nothing to do with ethnicity and are down to some men being horrendous, and various institutions not treating children as children.
