I’m been a Linux power user for more than half of my life, 8 last years spent on NixOS. I self-host my everything. I’ve bootstrapped a toolchain and a Linux distro from scratch^Wtcc for giggles twice, first without a package manager, then without one. For the last five years, I earn a living by working on a Linux distro. I still have my only decent GPU in a Windows 10 box half a continent away I stream games from. Would you be able to convince me to switch?

Just face it, Windows is the gaming console firmware.

And what’s stopping you? Install new LineageOS on an unblocked Samsung, check one checkbox xin developer settings and here it is. Without the GPU, of course.

2009. 2004 wasn’t even 770 times.

Ahem. While skipping the vanilla XCOM 2 straight for WOTC is a decent idea, the plot literally grows out of EU/EW! Having at least one attempt at the direct prequel is pretty much a must.

We’re in a rogualike thread.

Blockchain is legit useful for government-bypassing banking. Complete fucking bullshit use-cases for hallucinating intellectual property infringement machines are, like, each and every of their use cases.

That 1 megapixel brick wider than my laptop? Won?

They already have a dozen, they all suck.

Or Invisible Inc.

Hope you’re joking, because this is not how any of this works.

You’re right. I forgot not all Ayas are cute pocketable OLED 5.5-inchers.

No, I just daily-drive a OneNetbook 4. Steam Deck is wider than that. Or a GPD Win Max. Or anything reasonably-sized, really.

Speaking of bigger numbers: Are there even any rivals larger than Steam Deck? The damn thing is wider than my laptop.

I think the point of the original Deck and the recent update are that they have too crappy of a screen to play non-demanding games, too weak hardware to play demanding games and too heavy of a body if what you do is just streaming from a PC.

Exactly. It’s neat that it’s OLED, like the original Samsung Galaxy from 2009, but it’d be pretty neat if they’ve skipped right to 2013 and at least make it FullHD. You’re supposed to overtake competition, not lag a decade behind.

Found the American. Your US is a rich small country by population, so US income sizes have virtually zero impact on the world-wide median.

$50 is, like, a week of median per-capita household income.

developers who make a $60 game (that’s actually worth $60)

This oversimplification ruins all the reasoning. There is no clear single “worth” of the game for a global market. 32527 people are willing to pay $60 for it (loyal fanbase + rich), 23886 more if it’s $50, 42110 more if it’s $40, 12280 if it’s $30 etc. would be a better model.

What is this list, where’s NetHack?

With a display almost as good as 2011 phones.

… they’d know what exact nasty deeds they’re being paid for? How does that help you?

First of all, you need accountable politicians that serve their nation. Age, while it’s important, is not of prime importance.

For me, liliputing.com gives me the most value per time spent reading. It’s also fun to see how notebookcheck occasionally reports the same stuff but worse, clearly after they’ve read it on liliputing. It’s not a broad one though since it’s focus is loosely centered at compact gadgets.
