This is what i am really here fore. Linux has the potential to bring all the game eras together. I'm a huge fan of those little retro handhelds because they let you experience 40 year old games together with new ones with an interface that even my old mother would have understood.
Now, with GameNative and stuff, you can even use an 180 Eurodollar device as a mini steam deck, along with the old stuff. I've bought one of the cheapest android retrohandhelds that is feasible to do it on (the Anbernic RG 467H) and man is it cool to have a little steam deck in your pocket. It´s hit and miss on most games, but it is almost perfect for things like darkside detective, Ball X Pit and stuff like that.

Love it. Love this community! I don't mind being called a luddite. I take it as an inspiration rather than an insult. As long as i have the luxury of choosing, i'd rather be on the human side. With nice people, of course. :)

Quoting: dpanterYou can also elect to not watch the trailer and be better off. Trust me.
Do you have any idea what sentences like "do not push this button!" do to me? 😆
But you're right, not my cup of tea.

Quoting: Jarmerjust curious: what was the scam?
It was me being silly on a secondhand platform (kleinanzeigen in germany), transferring funds via paypal family&friends. I've had just good experience with these in the past, buying lots of things with this method. Well, one should not do that anymore...

Somehow some folks manage to make every day a bit more dystopian than the next. You have put it out first that this will come, and here we are - faster than i expected. I have four children, and of course i want to protect them, and yes, i have to bickle about media usage every day with them. But this is not protecting kids - it's cocooning them. And absolutely hate that they use our kids as an excuse to deploy all this.

Narf. I even got scammed while trying to buy a used Steam Deck OLED... not fun. Now i have ordered an Anbernic RG 476H and will try to make it a mini-Steamdeck. Will report when it worked.

Quoting: EWGI don't understand games like this. Instead of virtually pretending to do things. I could actually pick up an instrument, book shows, and all the rest. lol
That´s cool, you probably should then. :)
For me, i never stepped above hobby levels and went down the Gear Acquisition Syndrome (GAS) path of instruments and synthesizers. I know some folks that went that route, and quite well actually, but man is that a tough life. So... i'd rather play Legends of Rock. :)
