when we were real young, we heard at some point that our cousins had gotten a playstation set up in the basement, and we'd envisioned some kind of playground equipment or something

the steam deck uses button prompt memes as examples for its explanation of button remapping

so what.... exactly was putin/russia expecting to get out of this whole thing anyway? it seems like all they've managed to do so far is make an enemy of basically the entire world and i don't see how they could have expected it to turn out differently

for those not familiar: phenolic paper (usually grade FR-2) is a PCB material that hasn't really been used since the 70s or 80s in anything but the absolute cheapest stuff, and even the absolute cheapest stuff these days is going more and more towards FR-4 fiberglass
