Not in my back yard!
It does look like it will enter my front yard!

Now this came just in time...!

My children started to play Minecraft inspired stuff on the school yard lately (don't ask me, I don't know either...). Today, I wanted to buy Minecraft, so we can play together (I played it before!), and see, my favorite (and only) gaming site has got what I need!

I wonder what's happening at Daedalic?
Didn't they shut down their development department?

I'm just playing the game in the preview image, Exa Punks. I like that you can compare your results to the ten percent percentile or the one percent percentile. Ten percent is enough for me, thank you very much!

(Need to know to understand the following: I am software developer by profession.) When i couldn't cope with an optimisation puzzle, my 7yo daughter said to me, so I'm obviously not a good programmer.

I did beat the ten percent percentile today in this puzzle. Had to. :)

GPD WIN 4 handheld plans to support Valve's SteamOS in 2025 (updated: nope)
8 Jan 2025 at 7:06 am UTC

I'd like to tell you that Steam sent us an email after launching Steam Deck, hoping that our device could be pre-installed with SteamOS.
Did we already know that Valve is actively approaching companies to get SteamOS on more handhelds?

Quoting: Purple Library GuyHuh. Mine didn't give me a %Linux. I assume it's 100%, but it didn't say as far as I could figure.
I guess it's not displaying the statistics if it's too boring.

Quoting: ChrisznixOoooh, a warm wave of nostalgia hitting hard. We somehow got hands on the beta, and we met with our clunky towers, coaxial 10BaseT-Cables, cold pizza and granular tea. There was always one computer where the network would not work, but it was so much fun playing this. I just found a video of the old theme song on youtube. Do i try it again just to find out how bad my aim is now?
Play against the old friends - they share the problem. ;)

Quoting: The ArticleReally brings back some memories of one of my first loves, the Amiga!
The first computer I bought for myself was an Amiga 500. Brilliant technology. Way ahead of everything else that was available at the time. Too bad that Commodore couldn't compete against the IBM/MS/Intel behemoth.

:heart:

Pleasing to know that the Amiga is still around in Europe though ...
I was delighted lately to find there's a fan group on Facebook for my first computer system, MSX. Happy nostalgia!

It made me pull out my very first home computer, 40 years old now this Christmas, attaching it to the very first TV of my wife, and having my very first daughter (7 yo) play my very first game, Athletic Land. :heart:

Valve may be working on a new kind of Steam Machine

Quoting: Cyba.CowboyWhy would that change anything? It'd be no different to when Windows XP reached end-of-life, or Windows 7, or Windows 8... People will just move over to Windows 11 or whatever they're up to now, just like the gullible sheep they are.
I don't expect huge amounts of people changing over either, but the big difference is that for all those Windows versions, you usually could just install the new version on your old computer. With Windows 11, the requirements are quite strict, and while you might be able to trick the installer, MS does not promise updates for unsupported system, so this is a dangerous path.

So, the question has changed for many people. It's not "Should I install the new Windows on my old computer?", but "Do I really want to replace my still good enough computer just to install the new Windows?!?" And even if the answer is yes, then they have a spare computer which they might use to check out this Linux thing.
