Waah! It’s still almost two months away! (Just went back to 200% scaling because of some fuzz and weirdness here and there that most people probably wouldn’t bother noticing)

Thanks – fixing

SKIP THE FARE? EXPECT THE DEATH PENALTY

On September 15th, the NYPD shot four people over the $2.90 fare

OMNY

So the NYPD can double tap and go

Wired and wireless X-Box 360 controllers with the built-in kernel drivers, generally hassle-free these days!

Sounds like it — it was posted by The Elder Scrolls Online, not Valve. (Edit: Yes, of course this still means Proton.)

I guess they just don’t want to bother with it any more?

Yes. I think Elder Scrolls Online and Guild Wars 2 were my last “anchors” to Windows (7, at the time). I barely ever booted into it… I wanted to be NOT IN WINDOWS more than I wanted to play big fat luxury games.

But I did keep it around until there just wasn’t anything left that I wanted to run but couldn’t. The first Humble Indie Bundles with games like FEZ and Limbo had been out by that point as well as a few bigger titles like The Witcher 2. Wine was much more painful than it is now.

I’ve generally made sure not to buy too “crazy” hardware (like Bluetooth controllers… yes, I’m old and a neophobe and I don’t know what else).

That could be sweet. Of course, they’ve already tried that, but SteamOS wasn’t really ready then.

And I suppose anyone can get a random mini PC and install Steam on it…

By now I just expect it to work, unless it’s some drm-tastic ultrapopular multiplayer game. I don’t even check protondb any more…

Wine has come a long way! Though Linux-native gaming is not on AAA studios’ radar…

I’ll have to check it out then.

Good luck! I had a plussy growing up and enjoyed the faster disk drive, the advanced BASIC (compared to the VIC-20 and 64) and the machine code monitor/simple assembler it had built in. Nowadays there are quite a few good games too (homebrews and bootleg ports) but back then we mostly had to make do with C16 games (16K…).

No updates in a few years, I think, but maybe the ThED TED replacement chip is still going to happen? https://retrohax.net/the-thed-project-update-3/
