Flying car cheat in San Andreas. I don’t know what the buttons are, by my muscle memory is so ingrained that if I start it I can usually get it after 1/2 attempts. Even if I haven’t touched the games in years.

Live ISO FTW

I had this discussion (read argument) back on reddit a while back. And it’s about 15 to 20 years or at the time people were calling PS1/N64 Retro during the PS3 era.

By my math systems like the PS3 and Xbox 360 are now “retro”, at least for some kids. I defiantly feel dated when some kid shows up on a PSP thread going on about their Dad’s old PSP. And it’s weird to think that the Vita and 3DS are about to fall into that camp.

You can I just wish it was accessible on the GUI.

We both switch years ago on our laptops when Windows 11 became the default windows. Linux Mint ftw

The Legend of Zelda: Links Awakening

Hyper Stone Heist FTW

Honestly I like the convenience and not having to mess around with fan patches and mods to just get the game to run well. Especially on Linux running these versions of the games is painless.

Ummm… no. Outside of the Ikea DLC for Sims 2, they include all the DLC with the price.

Just going to add, flatpaks have a hard time picking up controllers at least if you are using remote play. Would strongly recommend the deb

So I have a Framework 13 AMD with Mint. Framework on older firmware isn’t the best, but with Mint 22 and by extension 24.04 it’s fine.

Got mine back in December and had no issues with the installation process. Games play fine though the fan goes to 100% after a bit. But with power profile in 22.1 it can quiet the machine down.

Other than that and the occasional hiccup. Compared to other laptops it’s the best machine I’ve used. So far no issues with only a few times of opening the terminal to fix minor issues.

One answer is quite simple. Not to sell loot boxes.

I mean counter strike and team fortress 2 worked fine and were extremely fun games before they added a virtual slot machine to their games. “they’re just skins” right? If they were given out for free in game it wouldn’t impact the rest of the games experience.

Valve can also prevent the sale of real world money for these items. Especially if it’s been flagged for Gambling.

Or as another stated disable or moderate the usage of their own API on these gambling sites.

The way I see it, they are the lesser of two evils. Just because someone isn’t as bad a Microsoft, doesn’t mean that they are forgiven for their sins.

Predatory lootboxes, and not cracking down on CSGO Gambling site are the biggest sins which Valve has committed.

Going beyond that, no clear path forward for when the Steam DRM Client goes offline. I personally have games which I bought on legacy hardware, that no longer runs on that hardware since Steam discontinued support for it. I don’t expect Valve to support all hardware indefinitely, however I can buy the same game from GOG, and install it on my XP and Win 7 machines without issue.

I am certain that there are other issues, and compared to MS they look like a saint. But for me I diversify my game library and get as much of my games DRM Free or on a platform which has a proven track record for supporting not just their current purchases but also legacy ones.

Beat Sony with a stick all you want. Despite the PSP being 21 years old this year, if I can connect my PSP to the internet, I can still download my digital PSP PSM and PS1 games.

Steam lets you play your games on the big screen in various ways. But you will need the following.

1. A device with steam or steam link app installed. Samsung TV use to have Steam Link available but from a quick search might not be available anymore.

So you will need a device like an Apple TV or Google TV to plug into your TV if you want to wirelessly display your Steam Deck.

Though in my personal view you may want to just connect the steamdeck itself into the TV with a USBC to HDMI adapter. Plus you can charge your deck while connected to a TV.

2. a controller if you are plugging in your steam deck

Steam Deck has high compatibility with wireless controller from official controller from Sony, Xbox, and Nintendo. Plus the 3rd party ones like from 8bitdo are good and work well too.

My recommendation is Dongle/wireless controller for best experience. But if you must do everything wireless you don’t need a controller but it’ll still work.

Because the Action button is hard to remember and it’s not a mute switch any more

Trying to avoid apps with subscriptions. The way I see it, it’s a question of when not if they change how the app works.

I 100% agree, and have Fusion360 in my VM. But there is a method to FreeCAD’s madness and once you get it, FreeCAD begins to make sense.

I found it hard to go back to fusion especially with the amount of control I had with my designs.

Also FreeCAD V1 is out, and it’s a marked improvement over their previous releases. Might be worth a try.

Being able to sync music or movies to my iPhone/iPad. More of an Apple issue than Linux, yet Mac/PC is compatible.

VLC does work, but since it’s not how Apple wants you to use your device it’s not as convincing nor flushed out.

Easily. It’s annoying, but if it bugs me that much I could just flip it upside down and put a rubber pad down so the top doesn’t get scuffed.
