Dunno. But I’ve had no issues so far with gts.

You are not wrong.

We do have automated AI that applies for jobs for you now. Its kinda hilarious in a dystopian way. https://github.com/AIHawk-co/Auto_Jobs_Applier_AI_Agent

I can’t think of any windows specific games I’ve payed for the last two years.

Such a strange world. These kind of stories makes it funny to read the headlines from time to time.

Pico can do some amazing things for sure.

I have a system76 machine. It’s been really good with steam. Or a steam deck, it’s just a PC.

Their laptops are not worth it if I’m honest. They have issues with the hinges. I had two of them give out. They use a very cheap plastic. But you are guaranteed no driver issues if you use PoPOS on their own machines.

Flash drives and periodic transfers.

Pokemon Unbound is a fun one.

Theres one that saves the original Tetris high scores that we use in an arcade cabinet.

Other games ive liked on the steam deck:

I like pixel games and/or great flow state. The SD has some of the best speakers on handhelds ive ever owned plus audio jack (wooo!). For flow games, ill often put them on and have an audiobook or podcast going at the same time.

1. Peglin, fun little peggle rouge-like. Its a good flow state game.
2. Coromon - Pokemon like game with excellent GBA vibes. Awesome pixel art, the coromon themselves look fantastic. Great little RPG.
3. Dave the Diver - I recently picket this up. Ive been enjoying the game, again pixel art is great. I love that all the side charaters have these huge cutscenes but Dave is just…Dave.
4. Bug Fables: The Everlasting Sapling - If you liked Mario RPG or the paper mario series, this is a game for you.
5. Tetris® Effect: Connected - Tetris, but with trippy visuals/music. Great flow state game that you can play with your friends.
6. Cobalt Core - rouge-like, FTL like, space game. Has a good story, fun gameplay loop. Another flow state game for me.

Nice. Its such small footprint game. Im tempted to get it for mobile/ other game console (portmaster?) just to keep going. Steam deck is great, but I need something smaller when I go out.

Htop or top

Portmaster is amazing.

That’s rough buddy.

Sounds like you have your answer! Also sounds like a fun project. GL!

Game boy and nes are pretty easy with modern day tools.

I hate that I understand this. Well done.

Its all good, as long as people watch. Upvotes/downvotes are just funny money/whose line is it anyways of internet points. AS long as people have a good time on lemmy im all good.

I have an old mac mini that was a server for a good 4-ish years.

The good:

1. They are pretty good at sticking in a closet and forgetting about them.
2. Specs are always on the decent side and some of the older models are easy to upgrade.
3. Power is ok. It sips power
4. It can run for years without issues. I still have two mac minis I used for CI/CD jobs, thin clients, etc…
5. Its a cheap mac. If you need mac for something, like building custom mac specific applications, then its a decent little machine.

The bad:

1. CPU is usually lacking compared to any computer of the same price range.
2. MAC OS. Its good at desktop but as a server, it just doesn’t have the same options/ease of use as a good linux box. You can get around that by dual booting, but its just another headache. Docker/VMs are also an option, but the RAM/CPU usage would take a hit.
3. The newer the model, the harder it is to upgrade.

I would use it as a specialty server if you have something you do automatically only macs can do. Or as a thin client/vm box.

I used to use it as a CI/CD box before github actions was a thing. If you happen to have one, sure set it up for fun. If you dont and are looking at buying one, I would suggest a cheap dell desktop or (depending on what you want to host) a pi 5 or thin client and throw linux on it.

Why is the video age restricted…

I tried that but it got downvoted. Hackaday had a great article but people don’t like it for some reason.
