I doubt it. On the Windows platform, Valve has to do what Microsoft decides. If Microsoft decides all apps are required to go through the Microsoft store app then Valve would be toast.

Lol, my dumb computer is running DDR3 / no TPM, it’s super old. I have been waiting for video cards to get better/cheaper. I’m totally down with not the fastest. If it plays 90% of my games, costs less than $600. I just read that it’s six times more powerful than the Steam Deck. The Steam Deck can run Cyberpunk 2077, so this will do just fine. Another thing that I really like is that Valve is verifying games for their hardware. The games it can’t run, I guess I won’t play. I’m sold!

I was hesitant about upgrading my ancient computer because I didn’t want to spend $1,200 - $2000 on a new setup. This looks like a great option.

Sega was such an arcade beast back then.

Totally! I got PS for Christmas and I was not really into it. I liked arcade action games. It must have sat around for like 6 months and then I gave it a Saturday morning try and I was hooked. It’s a great game.

Another vote for Syncthing. Might be a little too complicated for some though

It’s great for controlling the minds if millions.

By wearing myself out physically or behind engrossed in a project (s). Both seem to work. I also see a direct correlation of social media and feeling hopeless, even on the decentralized sites. I try to limit my use and try to have them focused on my personal interests and block\filter the doomers. I can always go find the daily shit-news when I feel like it.

Richard Stallman says “Hi”

“fridge, I need a 12 pack of beer and two large pizzas”. Uber eats shows up 45 minutes later. We’re all doomed! Ha ha ha.

Devo was right.

Huh, interesting.

I’m convinced social media is population thought control.

I stopped going after noticing workers were missing teeth. I figured it was because they didn’t provide adequate health care, here in the US. Kroger was a little better.

The Genesis is such a great console. I love how it really tried to bring the arcade home. Street Fighter 2, Ghouls 'n Ghosts, Strider, Air Buster, Out Run and come to mind.

All I know is the “White House says TikTok’s algorithm and data will be controlled ‘by America’.”

I’m translating that to “They will die a slow death”.

That’s so sad. Glad that we had time watch him and his videos. He will me missed

🤔 The PS5 is 5 years old. I’ll pass.

Technically a good burrito though.
