Is the point here to promote Gardiner’s channel/video. If you don’t want to talk about pewdiepie (the gist of all these other comments) you could talk about Gardiner and his videos instead.

Many of those games I had been playing on a 2400g with no dedicated gpu, which is far weaker than the Steam Deck.

When you say you’ve noticed it’s underpowered, did you mean for the games on this list?

I finished both Ecco games the hard way, by calling the Sega hotline to get the solutions.

Great games, great music. I even still pull out Ecco Jr for my 4 year old daughter. So many memories of playing it with my cousins during Christmas holidays.

I don’t think these games need a remaster, but I still play the originals. I think the current crowd of young gamers probably struggle with it.

You can’t really generalise by country in this. Where I lived (NSW South coast) you didn’t even get the box. All the game cartridges were being the counter in a separate generic box with the name printed on it. The real boxes on the shelves were empty and you didn’t get to take them home.

Cachyos convinced me to be arch based for the first time since 2010.

Trine was okay. Trine 2 was better. I didn’t care for the other sequels at all.

Road to Perdition was fine. Not great in my opinion.

Everclear did kick ass. But they did well for themselves, and their fans still remember them.

Yes, it should have been in the collection instead of the snes remake.

It’s too late for you… But anyone else wanting to play it, just start with the pc engine version. It’s easy to find a CHD with the translation patch already applied. PC Engine will easily emulate on any device.

I recently had a professional outplacement consultant tell me this, and a few weeks later a recruiter offered me a contract job, after months of nothing.

I haven’t used the Chicago theme, but if you’re in KDE, the Reactionary Plus theme is spot on and works great.

That’s the other issue. It’s impractical to always use Arch.

My main use case for pirated games is steam deck or a Bazzite based machine. Trying to get dwarfs on these systems is a pain I’m not willing to struggle through. Not when I can load up a fitgirl repack in a Bottle and have it installed 5 minutes later.

Even on my workstation, which is arch, I can get another repack going easily without needing to install dwarfs from the aur.

JC’s repacks might be good, but they’re a hassle that requires a new workflow to setup.

I’ve never had one single game working from JC.

On the other hand, almost any fitgirl or dodi release works just fine, or at least as well as I’d expect from the steam release.

The best for me is Flink, Blades of Vengeance, James Pond 3.

Yes. I lived out a life, got married and everything. When I did wake up I just started crying like everything I had ever known just disappeared.

Looked at this thread to see if anyone mentioned anything like that.

Local shows. I used to go to 3 or 4 a week.

I stopped doing that around 2017 because I was getting too tired. More like two or three a month.

None anymore though. I have kids now and I moved away, there’s no venues out here.

By “concerts” do you mean a big production in a stadium or theatre/hall with seating and tickets are $80/person, that kind of thing? I’ve never been to one.

Appimage. I oily use a few of them, and manage them with GearLever.

When people think retro, it’s almost always 8/16/32 bit emulation. You could maths share the focus around by putting just as much focus in retro computer piracy.

Dos, win9x, Amiga, c64. Of course, you need contributors that can provide content to that effect.

I recently showed someone how to quickly get an older PC Lego racing game working on Linux. They tried and had trouble, I spent about 15 minutes from finding an iso to in-game and racing. So the content must be out there from someone?

I think you’ll find nearly every significant FOSS project will have American contributors software in its development. Typically, anyone who can code and wants to contribute can do so.

What are you talking about being downvoted for that. Ubuntu is not well-liked and switching it out is a common suggestion.

I didn’t know these two girls because they were a few years older, but I knew other kids who did know them. Wasn’t good.

We’d grab our bikes and ride across town. If they saw our bikes were gone they knew we’d be back later.

After the abduction and murder of two local girls, this wasn’t so accepted anymore. Kids were still out and about, but you’d get grilled about where you go, who you’re with, where are you coming home. You were supposed to be at someone’s house, mum would call and make sure that’s where you were. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bega_schoolgirl_murders

I don’t see any kids out around town anymore now though. Just the ones that walk from the bus stop to their house after school. That might just say more about todays youth culture though.
