Did you mean to link to a creative commons license?

If you consider hardware functionality, IDK why people buy consoles at all. The sky is the limit for what I can do on even a low end PC and there are significant limits to functionality on consoles. Not to mentioned the walled garden you’re forced into with consoles.

Make money from software, there’s little profit in hardware.

The question is how to help the unwashed masses learn to use F-Droid.

Isn’t that crazy? How can they think anyone would be OK with that?

Just curious: How do these 2 stack up? In what ways are they better or worse than each other?

Or any pixel and putting grapheneos on it.

I think the advantage is that you get to pay $20/mo for some software after the 1st year.

Wtf.

I connect my Pixel 8 to my PC with a USB a to USB c cable. Plenty fast.

I bought it from google, off their website. On sale.

I recently bought a Pixel 8 and put grapheneos on it. Pretty happy with it but quite the learning curve.

I bought a Zagg based on some random web page that recommended it for my Pixel 8. Pretty happy with it so far. Not cheap ($50) but looks and feels good to me.

I think this does NOT affect GrapheneOS…?

I think the points about GOG being DRM free and selling you the game (not just a license) need to be made as often as possible.

I am going to try to look there first from now on because of this.

Thank you, kind and patient gamer.

I do not have any Tomb Raider games and would like Shadow of the Tomb Raider.

AI has decided you are small potatoes and only worthy of lower case levels of respect.

No disrespect intended, just looking for man on the street’s experience.

Thanks for the info.

Could you say more about this? I am curious how new you are to linux, what you might be missing in linux, bumps in the road, etc.

My personal PC use is mostly surfing and gaming. Maybe some light office work but I use open office for that. How painful would the switch from W to linux be for me? This is starting to look more and more likely for me as Windoze goes downhill.

I know there are plenty of rabid linux fanbois here and to be clear I am just looking for an average Joe’s experience switching…uber geeks with 20 years of Linux need not apply…thx!

Did you play all those games?

I still have my old Atari 2600…and the TV I played it on.

There are also several Atari Flashback units around for retro gaming greatness.

Cool, did not know about U4 on GOG. Thanks for that.

And yes. I have MoonRing now. Someone posted it here on kbin/lemmy a couple/few weeks ago.

Edit: a word

Adventure on the Atari 2600. Pitfall on the same system.

Sinistar and Mr. Do! in the arcade.

ETA: Ultima IV on the Commodore 64

Unfortunate that DMs don’t work very well here in the fediverse.

Price of onshore wind is about as low as solar.

I’d like to add wind to my solar eventually. Multi-modal makes a lot of sense to me. Pretty sure my solar installers don’t do that and I have no idea who does do that…if anyone. I’ll investigate someday.

He didn’t say it but he wants you to RENT software not OWN it. Make no mistake, this would be BAD for consumers.

I am curious which indie titles you would recommend.

I’m going to pick 3 different platforms:

Arcade machine: Mr. Do!
PC: CSGO
Atari 2600: Asteroids

I am also uncertain but it does seem better than the old 2 layer/level system. I don’t like limiting the choices but I do tend to only use a few weapons.

Amazing that it is still up. I might try it.

Back in the day, around the time of CS 1.6, some co-worker friends and I would have LAN parties. This was when everyone still had CRT monitors so we had to be careful not to trip circuit breakers.

Does UO still exist?

Rogue Tower - Steam description: Rogue Tower is a tower defense game with roguelike elements and a continuously expanding path which you can influence. Unlock, build, upgrade, expand, defend.

I’ve enjoyed unlocking all the cards and completing the 1-path (simpler) mode. Now I’m working on 2/3/4 path modes and finding them much more difficult. Uncovering levels of strategy I didn’t know existed in this game after simpler mode. Surprisingly complex for a tower defense and very interesting.

Also, CS2. Still fun to shoot people in the head.

I went on a binge with that game recently. It is amazingly deep, I never got near all the possible ways to play. I was mostly enjoying getting my ass kicked by the computer in multiplayer.

Fun game. I’ll probably get back to it eventually. Seems like it will be around forever.

ETA: There’s a pretty large AOE2 community on Reddit (still? IDK?) and frequent vids on YT. I remember some very detailed analysis vids on YT when updates came out. And competitive is still a thing too.

I assume they’ll fill that space with something “more profitable”. Like sex toys.

Killing physical media = corporate wet dream.

The shitshow has begun already in video streaming. It’s just a matter of time for it to start for audio streaming.

This is very bad for consumers.

Commode 64 = Commodore 64

A very old joke…

Cool. I’ve got it now.

I played a whole lot of Ultima IV many years ago on my Commode 64 and this has a similar look and feel.

Do people like PC Gamer? I was a little surprised when I found out they’re still around. I used to get the print magazine with demo CDs.

Agree.

I got a huge file of arcade ROMs there…but many of them are MAME broken so ymmv.

ETA: FTP?!?! Ppl still FTP?

Thirded!

Headline is wrong. Internet archive has been emulating software for a long time now.

Maybe they just got to 250k titles, but them emulating is not new.

They were selling refurbed Steam Decks recently too so you can get an even better price.

I’ve not played this before. It looks a bit like Mr. Do!
