Similar story here. I had a laptop running nVidia/Intel dual graphics for a few years and it was so fucking finicky. Primusrun this, optirun that. Ugh. Once upon a time, whenever I heard the word Optimus, I thought of transforming trucks with laser guns. Hearing that same word now puts me in a fetal position.
To any GeForce owners that are considering going Linux full time: do a test run first and see how it works out, because nVidia support on Linux is spotty at best.
The message itself is very nice, but the green text at the bottom is hard to read, because it kind of blends together with the backgroud.
Nah thanks, I prefer to commit crimes at home.
You might want to take a look at this retro handhelds spreadsheet. You can try filtering out good GameCube support (column S, support level A) and going from there. Good luck!
Yes, I may have jumped the gun, I apologize. What this initiative is trying to do is important to me and between Pirate Software lying his face off and one of the most prolific gaming publications not getting their facts straight… The amount of misinformation being spread around this topic just hurts my soul.
That is false, PC Gamer screwed up. Here are both pages of the initiative itself:

https://citizens-initiative.europa.eu/initiatives/details/2024/000007
Deadlines are in the upper right. And as you can see, it does NOT say July 3rd.
They’re not getting half a million signatures in less than a week a man.
31st July is not a less than a week from now, dude…
Fully agree. Culpability is dead.
I don’t know about developing, but he’s certainly involved in a live service-ish game called Rivals of Aether 2 as “Director of Strategy”, whatever the hell that is. His name is listed in the game’s credits (video). He comes up at around 01:57 mark. Really bums me out too, because I like that game :(
Um, no. Ross Scott, the organizer of this whole thing, said that it will most likely fail. Meaning that there’s still a chance of success, not that he’s completely given up. The deadline for the European Citizens Initiative is 31st July, more than a month from now.
Also, fuck Pirate Software.
I see most of my faves have already been covered by others, so I’m going to add the Metroid Prime games. Unlike the mainline Metroid games, which are awesome in their own right, the Metroid Prime games are played from a first person perspective.
You still get to explore, you still get power-ups, but because you can scan almost anything with Samus’ visor, there’s some actual worldbuilding, which the mainline Metroid games didn’t really start doing until Metroid Fusion (which was alright, but Metroid Dread did a better job at worldbuilding, I feel). As for the platform, I played the GameCube versions on the Wii.
Good picks, but I don’t think Dark Souls qualifies as a metroidvania. Metroidvanias gate off parts of the map based on what abilities the player has/doesn’t have, whereas Dark Souls blocks off parts of the map simply because you’re missing a key. Also, Dark Souls doesn’t really have ability power-ups with the exception of acquiring the Lordvessel.
I have the Flydigi Vader 4 Pro with the USB dongle. And yes, it’s plug and play.
Can’t remember what the title is, but it was a multiplayer shooter (mayber Counter-Strike?), where at multiple points in the video he goes “Yeehaw.” in the calmest voice possible while unloading his whole magazine into someone.
The only time an average person will care about privacy is when it’s taken away from them. Generally speaking, people just don’t care so don’t worry about it too much.
Previously, on Best of Netflix: price increases, flip-flopping on their account sharing stance (currently on “don’t do that”), removing shows without warning, iffy show recommendations by their algorithm, inability to watch shows offline etc.
So, if you’re not already pirating at this point I have to ask: what are you waiting for? Seriously, why are you giving these companies money?
“We want more money.” There, that’s the article.
Which one is that? Mario Kart?
Rookie mistake. The answer to that isn’t to remove the accessory, but to add EVEN MORE accessories so it balances itself out.
