why not both? small donations to the IA pile up. also the IA has several petabytes of data so it would be difficult to mirror that completely but sharing parts you’re interested in (even on the small scale) can be immensely useful.

all my homies hate Nintendo.

nothing. I am a bazzite and bluefin convert. it feels like a dream after 20+ years of futzing about with Linux.

Dariusburst Chronicle Saviours on Steam. Maybe the PS4 variant has some magic for multipule monitors, too but I’m too lazy to look. There may also be other Darius ports that utilize multiple monitors but this is the main one in the series.

It’s a horizontal shmup that used large displays in the arcade cabinets, that may have been multiple monitors but my memory is fuzzy.

You can stretch the game across multiple monitors in the game settings to replicate the super wide feel of the arcade game. They even have some “cabinet” connection options in the port that let’s you compare your scores and see replays from other players.

while not a novel thing such as extra menus or something, it let’s you play the game closer to its original format.

I guess this made my choice on handheld for me. been weighing a few options but I might just keep using my phone and 2DS XL for now.

winmodems and modelines were problematic but it was liberating to be able to tinker.

and walnut creek was doing the Lord’s work.

Bazite and bluefin for me, too. been daily driving Linux since the mid-90s and this little cluster of distros is the best experience I’ve had. really feels like everything finally came together.

they included cassette tapes… not many folks have those either.

this seems to be the case. i tried to redeem it a few times with no success (in a couple of browsers and in heroic). an hour or so later i got an email saying it was added to my library.

I like gamesir’s controllers and have had several. the g7 series is nice for what you describe. they have a wide array of options so check for some reviews to see the festurrsfeatures fully.

while i don’t have one of these handhelds, i do have a 2ds xl and i had a steam deck that i eventually sold. for me it’s mostly size. i took it to three countries and several states and it was mostly just a burden to carry the deck around, meanwhile the smaller device was easier to toss in a bag.

part of my choice was also that i don’t play a lot of modern games so i didn’t need the horsepower that the steam deck provided. it’s all nuance and preference, i think.

sounds like you’ve made up your mind. wnjoy windows 11!

maybe try bazzite? i’ve found it to be a better experience than nobara and steam games run fine for me, aside from the obvious big titles that have anticheat issues.

they have a guide for davinci resolve, too: https://universal-blue.discourse.group/t/davinci-resolve-setup-guide/1197

i, too, enjoy football violence!

battlefield 2042… unless i have a squad or some friends, i rarely play the objective. i mess around with gadgets, try to fly the wingsuit to weird places, try to launch vehicles where they don’t belong, try to find clever ways to kill people, whatever. my score is always trash and my team hates me but i’m usually having a great time.

I regret that I have but a single upvote for you

life is pain

some of us just weren’t meant for greatness, i guess.

I currently use GNOME and would continue to but if it were a low spec machine, probably icewm or jwm.

y’all sure like KDE though 🤢

things like dsda improve the game so much. It’s hard to go back to the original game files.
