It was clearly OPs intent. All good

It doesn’t technically break rule 11, but it absolutely breaks Rule 5 (baiting)

I’ve yet to find a game I couldn’t play on Bazzite in the year since I’ve switched from Windows. I know that says something about my gaming preferences, but it is also high praise for the folks who have worked on Wine and Proton over the past years

Imagine paying for ads…

This is one of those headlines for a problem I had no idea existed

It was the biggest bomb in history for almost two decades, but I always enjoyed Cutthroat Island. It was a fun pirate romp before Jack Sparrow sashayed onto the scene

You like thunderstorms? Huh big boy? A little thunder, a little lightning…?

AKA Welcome to the Jungle outside the US. Fun movie.

And dogs at least can do okay with bucket seats. I drove an Oldsmobile Silhouette ^(the Cadillac of minivans!)^ for years, and my dog was just tall enough that he could sit between the driver and passenger seats and look out the front windshield. He was at the perfect height for head scritches while I drove down the highway.

I remember when he got a bit too hefty to sit there comfortably. The automatic seat adjustment controls were on the right side of the driver seat and one time I suddenly found myself being pushed into the steering wheel at a stop light. His jelly rolls had started pressing in on the little joystick.

I miss that dog. The van was just okay.

“Some Steam games”… If you look at it from a console gamer’s perspective, Steam’s back catalog is colossal. I have over 1000 games going back to the Half Life 2 days.

I haven’t looked at the specs for the Steam Machines, but I doubt they’re worse than a Switch 2 or an Xbox Series S. Modern AAA games already have to account for modest reference platforms. At least these don’t have all the bloat of a Windows machine.

FYI, physical Steam gift cards are out of production and will not be restocked. It was announced a week or two ago. Not sure if your work does physical or virtual cards

Here is a 486 taking over three minutes to boot.

The person you replied to countered a broad generalization with an anecdote which probably matches the lived experience of most of us oldies who lived through the time. Your comment did not contribute to the conversation.

OP is a dad trying to help his pubescent daughter be comfortable. I feel like the trans people I know would extend him grace here

Portable? You and I must have had different versions. Mine was very much anchored to the wall

Edit: well, today I learned about the Sega CDX. Wild
