  • Bought a Bluray Disc. Sony still tracks you.

  • BD-live was a thing going way back then. BD players had network connectivity because stuff like that was a selling point.

    But it seems like you’re adjusting the question to be more “do BD players REQUIRE internet connections”. No probably not.

    And off track, for some people the primary function of the PS3 might have been to play movies. BD players were several thousand dollars, a ps3 was like $700-800. There was definitely chatter along the lines of it being a Sony product would be best in class for BD playback as well.

    When I first started dating my partner I asked why she had a PS2 with no games. She said it was her mum’s that she just uses for dvd.

  • PS3 was one of the first affordable blu ray players right off the bat with internet connectivity

  • You Can Install SteamOS On The ROG Ally And Any AMD Handheld Now

  • There isn’t. It’s regular desktop windows shoehorned into a handheld screen.

  • You mean lithium cells ready to become spicy explosives?

    I would want the great rechargeable eneloops for sure. Those would have been game changers in the good way.

  • Double Dragon 1 and 2 have terrible slow down issues. This isn’t a bad port, this is from the original games. It can get nearly unplayable at certain points.

    Double Dragon 3 is just not very good. The Mega Drive port runs a little bit better than the arcade though.

  • Do you believe in free will?

    Jump

  • There’s a documentary about having free will to create your own fate and determine your own future. It’s called Terminator 2 Judgment Day.

    Anyway, the whole thing goes: The future's not set. There's no fate but what we make for ourselves.

  • What discovery or invention do we take for granted?

  • Doors.

  • More info about ZOTAC handheld and Manjaro partnership. Manjaro is porting "Zotac One Launcher" and is going to support Steam, GOG and Epic games

  • Do you actually hate A.I? If so, why?

  • We used to be too scared to tell our parents if we got in trouble, we’d always get in so much shit for it. (And this was late 90s/early 00s, it’s not like we were getting beatings).

    What’s up with parents trying to get their kids out of trouble instead of going ham on them.

  • It’s not the most durable, but when I think hardwood and antique I think shellac.

  • The SteamOS era is imminent: Valve adds a new compatibility rating for games that’ll run on ‘any device that’s not a Steam Deck’

    Jump

  • Yeah. I got a steam controller when it launched, and I was all in on finally being able to do adventure games on the couch.

    It’s a genre I didn’t think of be able to play unless it was a modern game with console design in mind, except I play mostly 90s games. For me the trackpads are essential.

  • What social media site do you hate most?

    Jump

  • I’m only working now because someone browsed my linked in and asked if I’m open to contract work.

    Jump

  • I don’t know what you’re talking about now. The point being made was that using steam input to make a joystick emulate mouse is not a good experience for point and click adventure games compared to trackpads.

    Steam controller made these games fun to play from the couch again, and steam deck made them fun to play handheld.

    “Getting along” with joystick to mouse emulation might work to move a cursor, but it’s not good. That’s why many games types that were traditionally PC exclusives have new control schemes when there is a console port. Because mousing with a joystick is not a good time, it is just “making it work”.

  • There’s a blast from the past. But WineHQ was never a good or reliable database for this purpose, you were always better off just trying the software and moving to a native alternative if it didn’t work than lean on this for decent information.
