              In retrospect I regret drinking the Nintendo koolaid for so long, but turning what used to be the fairly equitable Virtual Console system into a ROM rental service made me jump ship to the Steam Deck and it’s been smooth sailing since.

Certain companies have become a no-fly zone for me and that list is only growing longer.
