Thanks. I’ll give that a go because that’s the only issue I have with games now

The main problem was Siege with my friends over lockdown. Even on the lowest settings my framerate would drop whenshootouts happened on screen.

I hooked it up to the TV recently and got through Pseudoregalia fine. It would handle any modern 2D or basic 3D game alright.

I also tried Art of Rally, and whilst it works, I had to turn all the settings down. That is such a beautiful game that low settings don’t do it justice

I’ll have to hunt around for it. MyAbandonWare only has the windows version, thanks for the tip

If you want to play it and get really desperate you could try a VM running 95 or 98 but that’s a lot of setup

I figure since WINE is already faking being windows, it’s easier to fake what type of Windows it is. By comparison, Windows has a lot of it’s own problems

I like GNOME on the laptop but it feels better suited for laptops and touchscreens. I know plasma is really good now and really customisable, and I’d even consider Mint as I’ve put it on another laptop before but a more gaming centric distro should have some added dependencies included

I plan to now. A friend helped me put it together and that’s where I learnt how to make a bootable drive to install an OS.

I used to use that PC for work on the sneaky so I could do other stuff at home easily, but I’ve changed job and that’s not a concern anymore so it might get PopOs or something on it soon

RSS is great and Google tried to kill it so you’d have to use other services.

I like how I can tell a big event has happened because I see a bunch of articles on it, and that it’s possible to catch up to where you last were in the feed.

That means you’ve caught up on the news, no need to red any more, you can do something else. Algorithms always serve you up new content, so you’re in this constant state of thinking something is always happening.

I think RSS readers would help fix the brains of a lot of boomers if we could ever get them off Facebook

This is what fixed it, thank you. It must be that although the game is in English, it’s using the English characters from a Japanese font and character pack. Now I know what the issue is, playing these games on the Deck is more possible

That’s a good point. I’ve had Lutris installed but never really explored it. I’ll check that out too

Thanks. I’ll look into this as well. The game is in English but coming from a Japanese developer could cause the same problems

Thanks. I’ll look into it and see if that works

I see Edifiers go on sale all the time here in Australia and they always get recommended. The reputation seems to be good value for and they have plenty of models to pick from

This is like the master conspiracy theory. Every other conspiracy theory just turns into this one after enough time

JFK’s head just doing that is a conspiracy cooked up by the CIA to downplay their involvement in his head head doing that

Sorry, I’ll have to learn the difference. I just saw FOSS F-droid and went from there

Drinkable for making cocktails.

Vector Pinball for a light, fun pinball game.

Baby Dots to entertain my kids without harvesting their data or driving them insane.

KOReader for ebooks. It takes some setting up and getting used to but I’m happy with it now
