RetroArch never works right. Even once you get past the cores and all the other stupid bs, once you get to setting up the controls it never works right, most buttons just do not work in game, if they even work in the menus.

So many years, so much effort, all wasted.

It’s still so much easier to keep BlastEm, Snes9x, Duckstation and whatever else installed, so much faster to set up controls and most of the time you don’t even need to as everything works out of the box.

And yet plebbit will say nuhhh use muh libretro cores!!!1 so heckin’ wholesome Keanu chungus 100!!! I love my wife’s boyfriend!!!111 Thanks Reddit!!!

      VLC is one of the scariest apps on my phone. Normally when I kill an app (I have “kill” bound to long-press home), it stays dead.

      VLC doesn’t die. If you connect a Bluetooth headset to your phone, VLC spawns in the background and begins recursively scanning your media, even if you didn’t give it permission to.

      Its otherwise a highly performant media player for me, but my god it terrifies me.
