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.
