Wait did you seriously put effort into searching for my posts just to try and be right?
Mate. I appreciate your absolute derangement here but it was like a week ago in a circlejerking thread and I got downvoted because it was a circlejerk. The same kinda post has probably happened like 2 million times at this point across reddit.
You’d be wrong then.
“Why exactly would anyone want this?”
“CEC, that alone sold it for me”
points -30
* Even if you assembled it yourself you would be missing features, such as cec, wake by controller, sleep mid game, etc.
I’ve been actively mass downvoted on Reddit for being excited for these features. People are really fucking stupid sometimes.
I have a significantly more powerful PC (in a tower case) currently hooked up to my tv surviving the same purpose and I will likely be getting the Steam Machine entirely for these features.
“But just use a dongle” they say. And I do. It works about half the time and I have to do this weird dance involving pulling up Kodi
Yeah and It’s used in iOS.
I feel like there’s another issue going on here because I print from my iPhone constantly and never have this issue.
I had used 95, 98, and 2000 at that point. All of which I mostly enjoyed. Me I used in my grandmothers computer and yeah…it was rubbish.
However I’d say it was less of a “Big leap” and more of a “Quick give us something that’s almost as good as 9x!”
Because Windows XP was a hot pile of garbage.
One day, my network driver broke. None of the discs worked. None of those incoherent “wizards” Windows loves to use worked. Reinstalling Windows broke more things. I couldn’t get online for about 2 months.
One day I was at the bookstore and saw a Fedora Core book with an OS disc. I thought it was cool so I convinced mom to get it. Went home, blundered my way through the install and everything just worked.
I cannot for the life of me understand how XP is routinely loved by everyone. It looked like a muddy fisher-price toybox.
No, I didn’t. Probably because you never said you did. Weird how that works.
Now, had you said “Hey, I run a business, something like this would probably cost X per year and I think I would have Y users. Which would mean I’d minimally have to charge Z to make this viable” I probably would have given my input.
Well I’m glad you would go into the depth of researching the economic viability of something when you think “I’d like to have this amenity”.
But I don’t. Because why the fuck would I?
If someone wants to go through the work of researching the costs of setting up such a service, layout the costs, and make some proposals and how much they’d need to charge to the community I’d happily contribute.
Until then…dude you took an offhand “Hey I’d like to see something like this” and turned it into some weird obsession with making me name how much i’d spend on something.
I want a kebab shop down the street. You gonna demand I tell you how much I’d pay for a kebab and then wildly insult the community for not doing it themselves?
without any reward
It is called a business. Someone sees a potential opportunity (through, i dunno. People talking about how much they’d like it), does the research, determines if it’s a viable investment on their part, and either starts it up or doesn’t.
Of course I didn’t respond to it. Because it has nothing to do with my point. Im not going to go out there and do extensive business research just to satisfy your weird demand.
It’s something I’d like to see someone take on. It’s something I’d wager other people would like to see take on. The economic viability I leave to anyone that wants to take it on.
Regular auditing of the infrastructure" seems like a very enterprise-y thing to expect from a basic SaaS.
That’s the entire point. Offer a premium service when compared to the alternatives and you get to bring in revenue.
Currently, every instance essentially makes a pinky promise that our data isn’t being used maliciously. An audit provides assurances they are.
I would love to see hosts start offering subscription based instances and do things like paying for regular auditing of their infrastructure to give us some assurance that our data is actually secure.
I’d legitimately pay for that.
The 3DSXL is the best. Hands down. It has native support for 3DS/DS games as you’d expect, however it also has native support for GBA games (As in not emulated).
Obviously not for GBA carts, and you do need to do a bit of fuckery to get them to work, but work they do.
And that’s not including the emulators.

British Food is awesome. It’s not very colorful or ultra complex but it’s the kinda food that warms the soul.
There are few things that bring me more joy than popping into a Greggs on a cold rainy morning for an overheated cup of generic tea and a sausage roll.
Runbacks are a lame attempt at artificially increasing difficulty. I’ll happily die on that hill. I love difficult games, but there is a fine line between frustration and difficult.
Elden Ring (at least all the bits I played through) and Sekiro absolutely nailed it. None of the run backs were particularly egregious, and it let me really focus on experimenting and learning to feel out the difficult fights. Celeste is another good example. I have dropped hours on some of the later levels trying to master them, but never once got frustrated.
Hollow Knight I never finished because I got stuck on a boss and the runback was just way too long and annoying. I loved everything else about the game and want to finish it eventually.
Edit: I think they have their place as “mods” that you could enable to increase difficulty, and i’d actually probably enjoy it that way. Just designing the game around them is where i draw the line.
My dream is for a modern, Wayland/HDR ready window manager based on Platinum or NextStep (I do use Windowmaker on a non gaming laptop but it looks mostly abandoned at this point).
Hell even…whatever Windows9x is called would work.
As the other person said, use the version of Bazzite that defaults to the SteamUI (it’s what I use on my media center). I think it’s called Bazzite-Deck
But what are you trying to compile? You just need Steam, gamescope, and pass it some parameters to boot directly to BPM: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Steam#Big_Picture_Mode_.28with_a_Display_Manager.29
See Section 5.6
The best bits of the Half-Life games are the more slow parts. Just taking in the environmental storytelling, solving simple puzzles, etc. Helps to make the more action sequences feel more impactful and intense.
