It doesn't help anyway. My system's not quite as beefy as yours, but it still gives me that OOM error on the very lowest settings.

Oh, don't! You'll set me reminiscing again. :)

Ha! Love my Amiga, and love MagicWB, I actually bought that before I even owned an Amiga. Full MagicWB and MUI license.

I should try Black Mesa again. I started playing it on Windows, then when they finally said they were going to release for Linux (they initially said no way), I started playing it there, but never did finish it.

Stupid question.
Is it possible to get a AmigaOne X1000 on the cheap ?
Just as an experimental thing ?
Or am I better off with a VM or AROS ?

I think they are still in the 5k area... the one to look for is the AmigaOne A1220. Supposed to be 400~

You spelled youth wrong.

This concept is Sexy As Fuck.

Especially the chicken leg robot style of the 90s, it shares common origin with Star Wars AT-AT and Walkers and reminds me of G-NOME.

The styles of all the Mechs are directly from the old FASA Battletech game, of which this is supposed to be a computerized version of. That game originally came out in the mid-80s. Fun as hell too, wish I had played it more back then.

Quoting: RichieEBHow is the multiplayer for Linux users, is it usually active at all or enough there in the previous TW games. Planning on getting TW Warhammer anyone know how the multiplayer is like on there?

The TW Warhammer is very nice TW game, but I never played the multiplayer. I doesn't have any friend to play with who owns this on linux and on wine it is unplayable.

I don't have any friends either. :P Er, I mean yeah no one I know really games on Linux besides me. So when they have broken cross-platform play, it's really annoying. Guess we should have a regular Linux Gamers WAN party, right?

They already have a Tegra 2, it's actually the lesser over Tegra X1. In fact they already have Tegra X2.

Actually from what I understand, Tegra (at least the older, not sure about the X1) already has full 3D acceleration in Linux.

Starting with the NES. Which went B>A

Go figure, the Master System had 1(Start) > 2

So otherwise Nintendo has always been wrong?

Quoting: slaapliedjeNintendo HAS to be different, so the buttons are switched.... Died many times in Breath of the Wild due to that.

Actually those buttons have been that way since the SNES it's microsoft who decided to flip the A&B and X&Y buttons on their xbox controllers!

While this is a minor usability matter, I think the left-to-right layout is more intuitive than the opposite for us here in the west. In any case, Nintendo wasn't the only player on the market even back then, and there was no accepted standard for controller layouts. It's not a cultural thing either: Even Sega went with left-to-right A B C, while I remember seeing the monstrous Atari Jaguar gamepad going right-to-left.

Oops, I meant to quote you. But you're right, as shown here, for some reason I thought it was the Genesis that had C B A, but it is the Atari Jaguar. Never understood why the SNES went X/Y A/B though. I liked that Sony just used Cross, Circle, Triangle, Square.

It's not that Microsoft swapped the buttons from the SNES, it's that now I'm completely used to the bottom of the four buttons being attack, and in Zelda (and most Nintendo games) the Y is the attack button, X is Jump, A is Action and B is cancel. They're relatively the same on newer controllers, except with the button swap, the brain is now hitting the wrong ones.

I never really played the SNES that much (hated the controller, loved the Sega Master System and Genesis over the NES / SNES) and so all the years of using the Xbox controller, or the PS1-4, it's just awkward to get into some Switch games.

Quoting: ShmerlIt's just a Tegra tablet with some Nintendo DRM mess attached. So once DRM is broken, Linux should be runnable :)

by that point the hardware may be outdated , we may have tegra 2, with switch 2...

It's a Tegra X1, pretty decent. Apparently ALL Tegra X1 SoC are vulnerable to the hack that allows Linux to be installed on the Switch. Yup, the Tesla cars also use this same SoC.

I feel that too when I use a controller on PS but if you go look at Nintendo Controllers Layout, they are consistent, if someone is trying to be different is the other people...

which is fine different is good, just do not blame the one being consistent since the 80's :D

Controllers through the years....
