Quoting: damarrinWhen I click on "The Wheel of Time" link FF warns me of a potential security threat listing a adtraction domain. Not cool.

Quoting: yahyaThey don't offer me NARUTO 🤷‍♂️

Quoting: constAs Liam said, you basically have 5 decades of gaming available to you. Anytime, anywhere.
5 Decades of gaming? How about dos games? Or games with heavy use of keyboard?
I supose you have a virtual keyboard, but I don't think it's ideal.
It seems that the keys get mapped. Controller->keyboard, and then you can configure per game, but it seems limiting for some games.
Just like some PC games, not everything can translate well with a controller. However, it IS a PC as well, with the ability to plug in a keyboard and then there's the desktop mode too. Part of my point on how versatile it is, while still being primarily a handheld.

I believe that crown will go to me, 100% guaranteed I will mess it up.

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoCan you make the benchmark of Metro Exodus works?
I've tried, but no matter what I try it crashes. It uses a separate exe file to lauch Exodus, which I guess Proton doesn't handle correctly.
