I would never sell my games, ever.

I made that mistake once, and it was a decision I’ve regretted for decades.

Evercarts and emulation are convenient, but is nothing compared to having that original box, with the original cart, and original book, and any other stuff, in it, for when you want to ride the nostalgia train.

Hes not totally ignoring the red states.

Every red state has a few blue spots in them, and trust me, hes doing to those blue spots what hes doing to minnesota.

it still exists? wow.

and maybe a place that takes more of reddits traffic

geocities and angelfire.

god i miss the early internet.

Digg is coming back?

Whats next?

Fark?

Rotten. com?

The chances are pretty high that is probably Kims computer, arent they?

I’ve never used a commodore 64, I found one at a garage sale for like 20 bucks like 15 years ago and didnt get it, and to this day I STILL kick myself over not buying it.

at 70 watts does it even need a 6/8 pin plug?

Wine 11, on Kernal 7, Of Fedora 45, in 26.

You’re the kind of person that says gems like “Computers don’t make mistakes, sir”, Arent you?

I dont know, I’ve found the track pad on it to work reasonably well enough to navigate menus when I’m being a lazy slug in bed.

If you are comfortable with the Dualshock 4, then I think its a no brainer to go with the Dualsense.

I am with you on the xbox controller feeling weird in the hand, the Switch Pro controller too… anything with lopsided joysticks, basically, because I spent so much time having a Dualshock 1/2 in my hands… but DualSense pricing is stupid, and the best time to get one would have probably been black friday/christmas, where i was seeing them for 40 bucks, as opposed to their normal 80.

Its what I use on my PC… granted, I’m not using Moon/Sun.

Only complaint I have with the dualsense is that the battery life is shit, and that…for me, it never turns off with inactivity, so basically runs until dead unless I manually turn it off… but I use it mostly corded anyway so its not a super big deal for me

“we’d rather amputate that entire source of revenue than pay workers fairly”

Oh come now, Its not just about money.

Its about making sure frat boy culture of sexual harassment and assault continue unabated.

Someone missed the news about AMD planning on increasing prices monthly all this year.

Jack up prices so people cant buy video cards anymore.

“Generously” make their overpriced, heavily restricted, nickel-and-dimed streaming platform available on functionally everything.

as end users age out of cards, the only options they’ll have left is to use GeForce Now or not play at all.

A long term plan to take your PC from ownership to subscription model.

Gotcha.

Well, I want to give you my hearty thanks for the time you’ve taken to help with this, and I’m sorry that it couldnt come to a positive outcome, but even if it didnt I still learned some new things, and I will always appreciate that.

Mind if I ask what distro and version of it you’re running?

I don’t blame you for thinking it was native, with how well it ran since launch day.

Well, well as in no proton related issues, game related issues is a whole nother matter, lol.

I think it was the first time I got a AAA gam day 1 and played it without having to wait for proton patches or Proton GE to make it usable.

Ah, sorry, not mentioning the games was just a silly oversight on my part, Focused on the trees so couldnt see the forest. I’ve given a passing try to a few others, but these are the ones that I’ve given a serious try to since the update.

Proton

• Cyberpunk 2077
• Kingdom Hearts
• Stalker 2
• Pioneers of Olive Town

Natively:

• ETS
• Pillars of Eternity.

I mucked around in all these easily and without headache until the OS update.

I spent several hours trying to wrap my head around scanmem’s CLI last night to try some stuff with it since you mentioned it, but the command line just would not click in my brain, and anytime i tried to find info it was usually about cheat engine on windows… but then i found out Game Conqueror was just a GUI for scanmem so I installed that and mucked with that, I dont know what I did but I did manage to get it to work once and edit a value in PoE. but that was just from mashing random buttons and settings in a frustration after hours of trying so I have no idea what caused it to work, and havent been able to replicate it this morning.

and, again, thank you for your continuing generousity with your aid and help.
