Summit seems to deal with inline images fine which I would guess covers that

Summit offers that, I’d imagine plenty of other clients do too

It’s just a case, but it is pretty cute

A track ball is interesting. Not sure it’s worth the increased thickness compared to Steam Deck style touch pads, but it’s still interesting.

I’m always suspicious about vague terms like that. I usually suspect that if they’re afraid to give the numbers then they’re ashamed that they’re not good enough!

Key quote:

Microsoft is looking at combining Xbox and Windows experiences together — and that we should see changes this very year, rather than needing to wait for an Xbox handheld that might still be years away

So there probably will be an xbox handheld, but don’t hold your breath. In the meantime they actually are a little worried about how much SteamOS is showing Windows up.

The ones on Lemmy are pretty good!

Running x64 Windows games on x64 Linux with Proton is way easier than running x64 binaries on arm. That said, Apple have managed it so maybe one day!

Young me did not work this out!

Different use cases, innit? I have several personal machines, a work machine, and infinite containers and VMs to deal with so it’s not worth it for me. If you’re always on the same machine and can easily take your config with you to the next one then more power to you!

I never finished it; I kept running out of ammo against the final boss and just gave up. That was many, many years ago though, so I probably just missed its weak point and didn’t think to look up how to beat it.

I would probably disagree with this advice, certainly for anyone who uses more than one machine. Setting up lots of specific aliases means you’re learning a unique system, and all your muscle memory becomes useless every time you’re in a container or SSHing somewhere without your tweaks.

Lemmy/Reddit is basically a forum with the one significant difference being threaded vs linear comments. Would a version of Lemmy slightly modified to have linear comments and only text posts work as a traditional forum?

Brilliant game, and remember: the only reason to play normal mode is to unlock extreme mode!

It’s crazy how many full games you can play for free nowadays, I claim them way faster than I can play them!

If your friend is new to PC gaming then they might not be aware of how much they can get for free. I just wrote a post (stickied in [email protected]) summarising all the places you can regularly get freebies, could be a good way for them to try out a lot of different things.

Oh yeah, definitely looks shit, that doesn’t mean it’s not interesting though!

I like setting what people can throw together out of weird bits and bobs like an architecture I’d never even heard of

Geopolitics aside, this is at least quite interesting

Look at the link at the top of this comment thread, great read and tells you how small the teams were back then
