More power to them. What a long list of older games that they support. Their support of the Ultima series, while incomplete, is amazing so far.

Remasters are okay but I, for one, am happy developers are taking the time to keep the original games running under modern conditions.

Nah. I don't think they can do anything about it. Look at Don Bluth, who produced a whole host of non-Disney animated films such as The Secret of NIMH, An American Tail, The Land Before Time, All Dogs Go to Heaven, Titan A.E. and Anastasia. The style is very similar and, to my knowledge, Disney never tried to shut him down.

It is also really important that the government service is not used directly by the content provider but by the end user, so that the government does not know what the verification is being used for.

I read the Nexus FAQ Post. They are using a third-party service to effectively do just that.

And finally give Kim that promotion.

Poor Harry 🤣

I am incredibly hyped for this game.

They actually poked fun at this in a Lower Decks episode.

@Serious_Table

You know for a fact the moment you give Kim a promotion, the quadrant is going to end.

Somebody watched that Lower Decks episode!

I'm getting older and my eyes just aren't what they used to be.

That's why I'm still hoping they'll make a "Steambook", with the same hardware specifications as a Steamdeck but in a laptop form-factor and at least a 15" screen.

I don't have a television, so a console would be of little interest to me.

Tried it. Didn't find the interface terribly intuitive. When I tried to use the prefix backup feature, it filled my entire drive partition to back up a prefix that was only 300MB in size. Uninstalled and never looked at it again.

Must have been early in its development.

Personally, I used it to run the Drakan and 3DMark99 installers as these are 16-bit and are basically impossible to run as-is on modern Windows/Linux.

How odd. I just recently installed Drakan: Order of the Flame via Lutris in a manually created 64-bit prefix (wine-ge-8-26) set to Win10. I had no problems other than needing to launch the installer from setup.exe in a subfolder as the autorun executable wouldn't run. The Community Patch was an absolute must. I needed to enable dgvoodoo2 as well.

But I don't believe the governments will manage to find a way to take control of some of the actually useful cryptocurrencies.

No? You might want to take a closer look at the actions of the Canadian government and the RCMP during the Freedom Convoy protest. That might give you an idea of where things could go ...

Have you ever noticed how any new solutions/alternatives just seem to add more middlemen? That is what is racking up the cost of everything ...

I don't see cryptocurrencies as the solution. They're too unstable, for one thing. If they ever become big enough to be a serious concern, the governments will find a way to take control of them.
