I was amazed at how well x64 emulation has gotten on arm. The chip in the Thor should be pretty decent, but definitely expect pain points and worse support than the steamdeck/Linux (on x64).

I haven’t had any game not load for me yet, but performance is inconsistent (especially in 3D games). Something that seems lightweight will be sluggish and other things run surprisingly smoothly.

This site - https://www.emuready.com/ - helped me research to see if I could actually play the games in my backlog.

Edit: Also, most phone chips have shared RAM (if I recall correctly), so higher ram in the device means higher gpu VRAM. So going cheap on ram could impact what games are playable.

If their is high inflation (higher than the CD), then CDs are bad. Your money is locked in and losing real value over time due to the CD rates not being high enough.

Thats why I said it depends on what you are trying to defend against. What’s hard is the economy is teetering between recession->low interest rates and high inflation. It seems like the Fed has gotten inflation under relative control, but bond sell offs would probably trigger rising bond rates (as the US has to make bonds more appealing), which I fear could lead to inflationary pressure in the US. However, given Trump it’s hard to know what he’ll do next so maybe diversification is the only thing to do.

Haha, sorry to ruin your day, but I did see it!

Having watched young justice (and some other DC shows) I was familiar with the hero so checked it out. It was a decently fun movie for a somewhat lesser known hero. I think the weakest part was that, like most superhero movies, the big bad was a carbon copy of blue beetle (can’t recall if it was his arch nemesis Black Beetle or some other iteration).

I’d say of the DCEU movies I’ve watched, it was one of the better ones.

It’s less powerful than a steamdeck, and runs arm, but the Ayn Thor might be what you’re looking for.

With things like Gamenative and Gamehub you can get pretty good windows emulation through box64. I’ve been messing around with it and it works pretty well (played dark souls remastered, BPM, Katana Zero, etc. on an arm handheld).

Edit: I don’t have a Thor, I’ve been messing around with Gamenative on another device.

I still have mine and it’s next to useless, from the start it was kneecapped by its weak processor and windows.

I think I tried to install a Linux OS recently, but the biggest issue is driver support and long boot times.

It depends on how the devaluation occurs. If it’s high inflation, then CDs screw you over in two ways; fixed rates and time locked.

I mean, trying to start WWIII is probably a bigger deal than anything we could find in the Epstein files. I’m not sure commiting even worse acts counts as a distraction.

Maybe not the worst game, but notable for being somewhat misleading - Mario Is Missing for the SNES.

If you’re not familiar with it, it’s is an educational game where you play as Luigi and walk around random cities asking questions, which is very different from other Mario games of the time.
