@Anonymous756838 @SubsonicSparkIe Might I introduce you to NFL 2K.
English
@SubsonicSparkIe The biggest issues with the Dreamcast is that the games it had were too niche to appeal to a mass audience, and that each console was sold at around a $100 loss.
English
Sadly the Dreamcast did a lot wrong. It could’ve changed the world with a simple DVD-drive 😭

@SubsonicSparkIe A DVD drive
and twice the RAM.
and a second analog stick.
and...

@spinelessaisha Getting a used phone would probably be a better option if you can swing it. The performance and compatibility is often much better, especially with the pi's non-standard GPU.
A phone already has 90% of what you need, except for the controller part.
English
would it be possible to make your own handheld using a raspberry pi if you dont' have 3d printing as an option? or would it be better to just get a cheap phone and find a backbone controller? i really wnat a handheld gaming device so bad... but damn it's expensive
English
@nonlinear_james @atalocke I'm assuming the audio issue is specifically a Gnome thing?
Hardly ever have a problem with it on KDE+PipeWire.
Also, I use Thunderbird as my email client. It's not perfect, but gets the job done better than most alternatives.
English
Indeed. Also: Having shitty email clients ensures people bail.
And the audio constantly resetting to different devices every time you restart instead of remembering your preferences for mic and sound properly (this is a 15 year old bug btw)
And fractional dpis still being flaky as hell.
And no onedrive/google/drop etc. clients which most people need for at least work.
English
Using GNOME as a default desktop environment for your distro is just asking to filter new users.
It is an objective downgrade in usability for people coming from Windows or Mac.
KDE is the most feature-complete desktop environment. 99% of users will have everything they need to feel comfortable.
English
@SkeirBoreal @atalocke I have genuinely never had this problem before. Are you doing something weird with your taskbar?
English
@Jerry__Grey @atalocke I don't get what you mean by "no direction". KDE is much more well-integrated than many desktop environments (E.g. XFCE or LXQt).
What I like about KDE is that it is a DE that can adapt to how you work. Gnome, on the other hand, forces you to adapt to it.
English
@atalocke Windows user here. I find GNOME to be a refreshing light experience versus KDE.
KDE feels like it has no direction and is trying to be everything for everyone. GNOME feels clean.
The learning curve for GNOME isn't that bad.
English
@Riska_Asmara_ @simonsarris Shouldn't that same backlash be directed at Google Docs?
English
@coderman64 @simonsarris most of not tech savvy user use google chrome, and google by default download format in webp.
Also most user download image to be put on microsoft office based file format.
imagine the backlash if users keep asking why pictures they save from google chrome is not supported.
English
> be google
> develop WebP
> be google docs
> doesn't support WebP
what did they mean by this?
English
@jab50yen I'd agree, except that it's the same company (and indeed the same people) who were behind the original.
English
The millennials are in the game producer chairs now and their first task is reviving games that were late 2000s/early 2010s internet memes

@evanplaice @atalocke You don't have to install the metapackage with a bajillion extra programs.
KDE's actually surprisingly light if you just use the basics.
English
@NearestCommit Yet I go into CVS and see type C cables for $15 and lightning for $20.
And the type C does a heck of a lot more than lightning.

@GamewithDave ...debatable.
I have had some issues with certain DVDs IA's formats in the past.
Also they haven't had any major updates in a while, as they've been working on VLC 4 iirc, which WILL probably break things when it comes out.
English
@girlmadeofbread Isn't this a DRM thing?
StarForce and SecuROM were always awful pieces of software, and compatibility has specifically been broken for security, which I think is a legit reason.
This doesn't make Windows backwards compatibility any less impressive, IMO.
English
excellent joke! now show me windows 11 running gta3 without patches :)

"Erm, that program was designed for macOS 26.1.2.3.0. You're running macOS 26.1.2.3.1, can't run it!" "That program that was last updated in 1995? Yeah, you can run it. We even implemented a kernel-mode hack to get it working properly."
English
@HeartlightQueen If you think about it, Forces actually needed to have the same amount of automation, but with more actual gameplay in-between.
English
Anyone saying automation isn’t necessary literally don’t understand game design and how much is automated in literally any game they’ve ever played, especially sonic games
Forces just uses automation too much, that’s the difference
Metal Sonic Confessions 🤖@SonicConfesses
"Automation is a necessary feature and all Sonic games should have it. Sonic game would be extremely clunky to play without automation and that's just not fun."

@RaymanTogether I like all of em with the possible exception of Rayman 1.
English
@katiserie It doesn't just look worse, it doesn't function as a logo.
I have no idea what the software does just from the logo, whereas the previous one gave a pretty good idea.
Now it just looks like a generic useless software product in a sea of generic useless software products.
English
can we talk about how dogshit the new virtualbox logo is?
English
@swooper_d For 2, I think they mean a wireless controller as standard.

Hilarious that Xbox 360 actually only did one of these first.
1. PS2
2. Atari 2600
3. Game Gear
4. Xbox
5. Dreamcast
6. Mega Drive
7. Saturn
8. Xbox 360
9. Saturn
10. Dreamcast
11. Dreamcast
13. Dreamcast
14. Seganet, XBAND, Meganet and Atari's GameLine all predate Xbox Live.
Gamefan@Gamefantweets
Xbox 360 was the first console to have: 1. A Detachable Harddrive 2. A Wireless Controller 3. Rechargeable Batteries 4. HD 720p Resolution 5. An Online Marketplace 6. Downloadable Content 7. Gamer Profile, Gamertag 8. Achievements, Gamerscore 9. A Friends List 10. Videochat 11. Voicechat 12. Voice Messaging 13. Text Messaging 14. Xbox Live, Play with Anyone, Anywhere in the World. Playstation had to copy all these features or look outdated. The Xbox 360 is the reason I still choose Xbox instead of Playstation.

@KaidoGenkai Also, playing games from a harddrive is pretty good, and it's super easy to rip a PS2 DVD on a PC DVD drive.
English
@KaidoGenkai Replacement lasers aren't always great. I hear a number of them tend to be DOA, but often people forget to remove the static discharge solder blob on them, so who knows.
English
My third PS2 just died on me. Old consoles really don't hold up against time, sigh. Are replacement disc drives on E-bay the same quality as OEM? Assuming not even close, but curious if anyone has any experience with 'em.
