I Have No Use For It, and I Must Back It. This looks about as close to a PADD that I'm likely to ever see in a ready-made product, so yeah, I had to back it. It'll likely just be for controlling Home Assistant, but it'll look pretty doing it :grin:

A time to recharge, see family and play some video games on Linux (you should see my backlog…).

Congratulations! It has now been upgraded to a yulelog! :grin:

Quoting: RevenantDaklenovo should make a "thinkdeck" and put a little red nub somewhere.

Honestly, I'd probably buy that! Even though it doesn't get that much use, I do love their little trackpoint.

I would personally love an overhaul of the game library view. Each game is currently presented as if I remember what each game is, meaning I often have to press the "Store Page" link to see what on earth that thing hiding in my library actually is. Something closer to how many emulator frontends show games would be much preferable.

Not that I think you'll ever have to, but a "Dining The Deck" livestream does have a certain ring to it :grin:

Looks like they might only be available in the US.

Yup. From the site:

Are Razer Skins available in my country?
Razer Skins are currently available in the US only but tag us on social, tell us where you want Razer Skins, and maybe we’ll begin to think about considering the possibility of perhaps shipping elsewhere.

You know that thing the kids say... "hype"? Yeah, I thought that was just an expression, but I was shaking as I yelped "yessssss" after reading that headline, so I think I finally get it :grin:

I'll take three, please!

It looks great, but not quite as pretty as the semi-translucent black one that was exclusive to the USA. I do wish they had started out by offering that one worldwide first, but I guess that would technically be against the "limited edition" idea behind it.
I guess I'll wait for the inevitable translucent purple one :grin:

Eh, I can't say I have any excitement for that announcement. Sure, it's nice for those on Windows, but it doesn't really mean much, in terms of actual preservation, if they don't even actually preserve the original versions.

If they announced that they would start making sure classic games were properly preserved in their full original release states, that would be much nicer news to me. As an example, "Gorky 17" is sold on GOG, but only the Windows version, despite the game releasing on Linux and AmigaOS as well - hunting down those versions is actually tricky these days, so the "preservation" of that game would actually be generally useful.

Now, I know that "Gorky 17" isn't on their list of "preserved" games, but "SimCity 3000" is and it's only available for Windows, despite also releasing for Linux and MacOS; "Worms United" is and it's only available for Windows, despite originally releasing for Amiga (there are a couple more Amiga games on their list as well that are in the same situation).

Maybe I'm nitpicking, but I just don't like them using the word "preservation" when they actually mean "ensuring they work with modern Windows versions" - those are two different things.

Always nice to see a fix for Silent Hill 3! (even though I prefer the PS2 version)
