I’m not that guy, but I don’t think so. The trend will likely be that we get to the point where we render and display in such a high resolution that you can’t even see pixels anymore. We’re getting there already with smaller 4k displays where turning on AA doesn’t have an appreciable difference in 4k native rendering.

I use Linux Mint, mostly because I’m familiar with it. If I was to redo it, I would likely just run Debian.

Vampire Survivors is basically mandatory at this point.

Considering they learned nothing from their mistakes with Global Agenda and went on to fuck up Ascend, I’m expecting them to fuck this up in new and exciting ways all over again.

5123 on the numpad is the lefty WASD

It works, but deck needs to be on. I just pulled a Grim Dawn install from my deck to my desktop PC on Tuesday.

I got an aftermarket 9 cell battery on Amazon for like $30, mine has 8 hours of battery life at idle now in Mint with the brightness all the way up. Highly recommended. Three SSDs, 16GB of RAM, but otherwise stock T420.

Agreed. To me, the ringing is just what silence sounds like now after 15 years of the ringing. Mine isn’t very bad, so I only really hear it in quiet spaces, but I protect my hearing as much as possible now to prevent it from getting worse.

Dunno if it’s been delisted since, but I installed it on all my Rokus and Roku TVs a few weeks back without issue.

Dang, still no co-op. Back to waiting I go.

If you want some variety, I played a ton of PowerWash Simulator when I had COVID and it was fantastic. Just chill, not much thought required, and clean stuff with a pressure washer progression system.

When I bought my PS5 a few months ago I considered waiting for a PS5 Slim in the hopes that it would be less fuckin ugly. Glad I didn’t wait, because they managed to make it worse by basically slapping the disc drive to the side.

Phantasy Star Online. They’ve tried to release sequels over the years - Universe, PSO2 - and failed miserably at capturing what made Episodes 1 and 2 great. There’s no way they would be able to just update the graphics without trying to “improve” something in the gameplay, or changing the loot system, or adding MTX, and would just fuck it up again.

PSO is so good that even now, 23 years after it launched on Dreamcast, there’s still hundreds if not thousands of people like me that still play regularly. Whether that’s offline on their GameCube or online in Blue Burst on PC on a server like Ephinea.

I’ve been playing Sea of Stars on it lately, a great modern take on the classic JRPG format which works great on the deck.

NoMachine has Android and Windows clients.

For a second there I felt called out, but my gas guzzling burnout truck is from the 90s 👍

Well cool, about time. If they put offline mode in it’ll finally make sense to put it on my Steam deck. Been wanting to play it portable since I got the deck but always use it away from home and setting up a hotspot connection to play an ARPG solo isn’t great.

I use NoMachine between windows and Linux and I’m happy with it. According to their site they support MacOS.

I also try and ignore energy costs and prevent ewaste: my home server is my three builds back gaming PC with a lower power GPU shoved into it. Whenever I build a new main gaming PC my old one becomes my wife’s gaming PC, and her old PC is rebuilt into the home server.

So… the force engine with Remastered cutscenes? Hopefully this remaster is like the Quake II one and just comes as a free patch.
