Quoting: EhvisClearly I'm too old for this sort of graphics to trigger nostalgia. This is probably more referencing times from my gaming deadzone where I had no time to play or in the early years after switching to Linux.
Whew, I sometimes thought I was the only one who missed a whole generation (or two) of games. :whistle:
Pre-2000 - gaming on Amiga 500 and 1200
2000-2010 - only playing some open source games every once in a while :wub:
2010-2013 - as above plus some closed-source Linux games from humble indie bundles
Post-2013 - gaming on Steam for Linux (RIP my time and wallet)

Damn, that's very inconsiderate of them.

I don't know him, but since he's a Scot, I really hope the EU will pick it up and do what they do best.

[edit] oops, forgot that the UK removed Scotland from the EU. Well, I still hope the above.

Sorry, but I have to ask. Orange Pi is a Chinese Raspberry Pi or something?
