He/Him 🏳️🌈 🏴☠️ 🇬🇧
When I was first looking into Linux I asked the only friend I knew who used it and he unironically recommended me Arch…
A year later I actually gave Arch a try, but by then he apparently hated Arch and switched to Gentoo and I stopped asking him for advice at that point.
Just without the ridiculous tie.
It’s not really an issue for the end user. But it’s basically made for companies to take advantage of free hobbyist developers without needing to give anything back in return.
So if you’re the kind of person who runs to foss software to get away from corporate tech bull, having a license that benefits companies more than users just kinda feels scummy.
My ex had one of them RGB everything rainbow gamer PCs.
Windows would auto boot to update in the middle of the night and turn the whole apartment into a rave…
There’s been a lot of work on different recompilation tools lately. XenomRecomp and N64Recomp being two big ones.
Obviously it still takes a lot of work to go from a re-compiled console rom to a fully working PC port. But some fans are just crazy dedicated like that.
I was surprised how many co-workers my age and younger (GenZ) don’t even own a laptop let alone a desktop.
I know it was becoming more niche, but didn’t expect it to happen that fast…
As much of a Linux fanboy as I am, I just kinda hate platform exclusives in general when it comes to gaming.
Something fun could be Steam items you can only gain through playing the game on Linux, Like the promotional in-game items you got for playing TF2 on the launch of the Mac and Linux versions.
I mainly use my Deck for racing games and actually played a lot of MC3 using PCSX2.
Pretty much every PS2 era racing game can be emulated flawlessly nowadays.
A lot of them also got PC ports but getting them and running them takes some manual tinkering. But for the older Need for Speed games the PC version is the best way to go with all the community made fixes and mods.
I’ve also recently played through the PSP version of Midnight Club LA and it was pretty great, felt closer to MC3 than the main HD console version.
It’s a reference to a scene in The Matrix.
‘There’s no point fighting it’ or ‘Privacy is already dead’
The arguments that make my eye twitch, It’s such a defeatist outlook but seems like the most common nowadays.
I find it funny how common menu replacements are on Windows nowadays. I used to run ClassicShell/OpenShell back when I used Windows 10, but I was the odd one and no one else I talked to even knew about it.
Now I know more than a handful of people who daily drive RetroBar or something similar on Windows 11. Even if they’re not the type of person who typically customize their setups. Guess that’s just a sign of how bad M$ has been screwing up their UX design lately.
