Trump actually loves McDonald’s and eats it all the time.

It’s almost like someone has been systematically dismantling your education system for 50 or so years so they could reach this point.

I actually expected worse and now I don’t know what to feel.

To be fair, it’s not just a steam thing. My understanding of the situation is that chromium is dropping win7 support so anything using chromium will stop working on older operating system.

It’s gonna be wild to see how different the American history curriculum is inside vs outside of the US in a few years.

Republicans have gradually been defunding education for 50 years now for a reason.

Out of all the Nintendo consoles I have owned (everything except the n64) the switch is the one I have the fewest games for. I don’t often buy games at full price so I guess I don’t buy Nintendo titles anymore.

If the Dreamcast didn’t get discontinued in early 2001 then sure, it’s possible they could have released an mp3 player vmu. We don’t even know if the TGS prototype was a functional unit or just conceptual mockup. Either way, it would still be a case of too little too late.

When I said it would rip CDs very slowly I was referring to the processing speed, not the drive speed. Comparable processors of the time would encode at about 0.6-0.8x speed depending on the encoder used and I doubt the average consumer would want to spend 2 hours to encode a single CD worth of music on their dreamcast.

You’re grossly overestimating what mobile tech was capable of in 1998. The dreamcast had enough power to play an mp3 but the VMU definitely did not. On top of that, the VMU only has enough storage space for a little over 6 seconds of music at 128kbps. Even if the Dreamcast could (very very slowly) rip CDs to MP3 , you still had no where to save the data.

N64 and PS1 have not aged well. I’d absolutely take a dreamcast over the N64 and the PS1 really only beats it on RPGs. If you don’t have nostalgia for the 5th gen consoles, most of the games just aren’t very fun anymore.

When does egg become not egg?

Is that Albert Whisker? I’d give it a perfect 5/7.

I still don’t understand why crypto exchanges exist is an unregulated, decentralized currency, wouldn’t an exchange remove part of those benefits?

Apparently it’s a Ukrainian saying

The thing I miss about it is that it could run Leisurely Suit Larry 4. It won’t even launch on any other OS.

Fortunately this won’t be my first dance with dual booting Linux, I’ve tried it a half dozen times since the late 90s, going as far back as multibooting booting slackware, nt4 and win98. I’m sure I’ll go through a few distros before settling on one that works for me. I’ve also got 6 drives in my pc (2 nvme, 2 sata ssd and 2 HDD) so I have lots of room to play. One major thing for me is HDR support which is pretty new in Linux so I’m not sure where we stand on that.

All of the random BS it requires is a bit of a turn off but the 10ish percent drop in gaming performance is a no go. Linux with proton should outperform the os the games are designed to run on but here we are.

My steam deck has taught me that I’ll be completely OK running linuxn(probably arch) as my daily driver with a win 11 dual boot (maybe just a vm?) for things that simply won’t work on proton.

Numetal is the tail end of the 90s, you’re ignoring like 80 percent of the decade there.

These are people that say man made climate change is a myth because we are too small to do that but controlling the weather to make hurricanes stronger is totally happening right now.
