Awesome!
I actually quite appreciate the cheerful honesty of that.
Wine manager 'Bottles' improves Steam Proton support, adds configurable environments

Well, it figures. After all, Bottles is a much more modern technology than Amphorae or even Casks.

Quoting: BlackBloodRumnext to a haggis (I really need to get back to Scotland and get another proper haggis)
I like haggis, or at least I like the couple of hunks of haggis I've had. But I do find myself wondering if anyone in Scotland actually eats haggis, or if it's just something they do for tourists.

Quoting: BogomipsMaybe trimester would have been easier to understand?

I'm confused that it needs to be explained but English is not my native language so…
Unfortunately it would have been incorrect. A year has three trimesters (hence "tri"), but four quarters.
I had to look it up (see above), and it's actually 3 months. The "mester" seems to come from "mensis", month.
My university operates on a trimester system; we have three of them in a year.

2,000 titles officially hit for Steam Deck as Verified or Playable

2000 is a nice big number. But I still think they need to speed it up a tad, because it's still a drop in the bucket of all the Steam games, and it's still barely keeping up with the new games being released.

Plus I still think we need a fourth category, for games that actually, you know, don't work at all. One third of the games checked are listed as "unsupported", which looks kind of bad and as Liam notes probably doesn't reflect the reality of a lot of games--people will mostly look at "Unsupported" and assume it's not even worth trying.

Well, maybe not literally without pants, but on a broader level I've had days like that.
I like the trailer music.

Should you be telling us about these discreet GPUs right on the open interwebs? That's not very discreet!

PC hardware once had soul and charm? I'm kind of drawing a blank here.
