I dunno. Sounds gimmicky.

Quoting: WorMzyThe fuck is an 'AI PC'? :huh:

Let's do one better - AI Thermal Paste [External Link] :grin:

My PC doesn't AI have so it must be a Dumb-PC :wink:

Fine by me. Between me and my PC, I'd rather it was me doing the thinking, and it doing the "what it's told".

It's weird. As a long time, die hard player of tabletop RPGs, who took to doing it over Zoom and stuff during Covid, this ought to be the kind of thing that makes me massively excited.
But it doesn't. I'm kind of "Did I ask anyone to fuck with my tabletop RPGs and add 'features' to them? No, I'm pretty sure I didn't. If you're going to do anything it should be to make it feel more like I'm still sitting around a table with my friends, not remind me of just how computerized the experience has become."

I'm sure plenty of people will genuinely like it. And I suspect quite a few other people will think they like it, or think they're supposed to like it, while vaguely wondering why they don't enjoy it like they used to.

Retroid is actually a good name. Yeah, it sounds dumb . . . but it sounds dumb in the kind of way lots of the games from back then sounded dumb, so it kind of reinforces the idea you're going for. And the name makes it pretty clear the kind of thing it is.

I don't trust Acer. I recently bought an Acer laptop for some reason and was reminded of why I don't trust Acer.

Seems cool. Maybe not as cool as that pizza delivery one.

I notice it says "Linux and Windows" (but not Mac). I think there's going to be gradually more of that over time.

Quoting: Purple Library Guyone that already supports native Linux games.

Did you read the post till the end? Because that is where the issue lies it doesn’t just because it is a Linux based OS.

I read the post till the end. The end was irrelevant. It doesn't matter how hard it is to support Linux native games, nor does it matter if Linux native games inevitably suxorz or whatever.

The point is, if
--Distro A does in fact support Linux native games
--Someone creates Distro B, which is based on Distro A
--And Distro B does not support what Distro A supports
--then that's ridiculous.

All the hard work you talk about has been done. Sure, they could deliberately decide to drop support for Linux games because they have a bee in their bonnet about how crappy Linux native support is . . . but that's ridiculous. And just for the record, I play almost solely Linux native games. They're fine.

So I heard that Intel's fortunes started to turn to crap after they got themselves their first MBA CEO, instead of an engineer. Just like Boeing.

Quoting: missingnoI know not to get my hopes up that this could lead to native ports, but hold on, you're telling me this thing can't even run native titles anyway? Why the hell not?

Actually it is not that simple to properly support native Linux games. I know this sounds ridiculous but her me out.

It sounds ridiculous when you're basing your OS on one that already supports native Linux games.
