Retro: SNES and GBA. I have strong 16-bit nostalgia, but I also think the pixel graphic art style of that era has aged much better than the low polygon count, early 3D art style of the N64, Saturn, and PS1. Some modern, usually indie games get pixel art on the same level, like Sea of Stars and Cobalt Core, which I have enjoyed.

Current Generation: Steam Deck. I barely play anything else anymore and I’m seriously considering only keeping a Steam Deck or similar portable for the next generation. The other consoles (Switch, Xbox, PS) are all too locked down and are clearly just trying to keep me locked in their ecosystem.

Compromise idea: Put it in the middle.

Good idea?: Make it as wide as the screen.

Cursed idea: Make it a slide-to-unlock-style widget.

By changing the name of this at least twice now when it got backlash from users, Google has shown it doesn’t care about Chrome users’ preferences, only that it wants this to fly under the radar so that every Chrome user won’t know to disable it.

Change to a browser that actually gives a crap about your privacy. As a bonus, changing helps reduce Google’s ability to dictate what happens to the web via Chrome’s huge user base, like the recent “Web Environment Integrity” push.
