yeah bazzite is my daily driver on desktop and deck. you can use the htpc/deck image on non-nvidia systems to get the settigs panel (fps/hz, scaling, etc changed live) but I don’t want to have to switch between game and desktop mode on my desktop. I haven’t had much time outside of work other than my meager amount of sleeo and doomscrolling so I haven’t looked in to if the settings or overlays can be done as cleanly on desktop only images
The steam deck is kinda inconvenient when any level of tinkering is required due to switching between game and desktop mode and the input if you dont attach a keyboard and mouse. Non-deck distros lose the quick settings which I really like.
Try bottles too. you may or may not find it easier than lutris. I find the dependencies easier to install. After checking if anyone has already documented what dependencies are needed (directx, dotnet, etc.), I usually start with the default wine bottles uses, then try wine-ge and tkg at least before giving up. I have yet to find a game that cant be made to work but other software can be very finicky especially once dotnet is involved.
wtf it was real?
$4000 rubber feet, 30x markup on all internal parts options.
I was wondering how arbitrary code execution was harming pirates… I’ve been watching too much any% speedrunning
I think its time for the lawmakers that enable this to retire and move into their windowless and doorless retirement homes in the ground.
Oh man I destroyed 3 of those dance mats. we rewired them to use for stepmania (pc hatswitch had simultaneous opposite direction problems back in the day) and taped them to the ground and gave them a real beat down. The layers actually wore down from trying the pledge furniture polish and socks footslide technique which I quicly hated as damaging. I have now ancient solid decks that could handle it but I still hold a grudge against sliding.
LOL I used to hide cash there
I would have thought its embarrasing that they couldnt provide real hardware for an official museum
I collected some disc copies of games, I put on my fancy gloves, carefully opened the overwrap, brought out the disc and cloned it to my pc, then put everything back together in a laminar flow table. fast forward a couple years and I hear about disc rot. I checked a few and they were fucked. checked the rest they were fucked. put them back as before and sold them as unopened to a collector because I’m just an asshole that way. actually I was desperately broke. actually I still am FML, dunno karma?
Anyway retro gaming, or anything else in life really, will find a way to fuck you over.
its kinda funny because it looks dated even with the graphics overhaul in mcc but the gameplay is still solid, and there are older games that still look as good as release day but the mechanics are kinda rough. And some that always were and always will be perfect.
I feel like at this point retro is more of a style though. Graphics can only get so realistic and anything made to peak modern visual standards will be harder to differentiate from previous decades as time goes on, if we don’t all die from pollution and war and other shit. Oh fuck, maybe retro will become anything that features a non-destroyed climate/environment in a world where children will be born having never seen what earth once was.
When it comes back up the remaining 5 actual human users will have had their accounts taken over to be used by more bots.
I worked there less long ago and they were still bad, and indeed worse now. Some of the lifers are still there and still nice people, but man can you ever tell by looking how miserable they have been.
I do want trudeau to fuck off but I also want pp to fuck off. They both seem equally full of shit, disingenuous, punchable face, etc.
not particularly exciting I think I had ‘dog’ one time while distro hopping.
I haven’t used I2P since high school or maybe earlier if it existed then. Was it one of those faster the more people are using it things? I was skimming over setting up the docker container thinking even if I don’t use it myself it might help others (and I have unlimited data on the isp plan) but I haven’t gotten around to actually setting it up.
has it gotten any better since 100 years ago or whenever I was a kid?
I have had like 14 while I was still in school here in canada. if things haven’t changed you just ignore them because they can’t do jack if you don’t respond. Someone I worked with was blown away when I told him this because back home he was banned from all but the slowest ISP.
or maybe make life here more affordable and less miserable so people don’t seek out literally anything that will make them temporarily feel better or a risky bet on an easy way out
