Couldn't stop thinking about that. This was someone's home, maybe they even had some kids. What happened to all of them? And why did they have to lose their home?

This is what Cadillac and Dinosaurs means to me:
Thanks to the API Proton, the Steam Deck supports dozens of games
Dozens, really!?
It is, but based on a real one: https://www.tsf.pt/portugal/sociedade/engenheiro-portugues-pos-o-famoso-eletrico-28-em-versao-lego-14879938.html/
Do note that the default non-X terminal is called console: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_console

I was in the beta for the original World of Warcraft and restarted when it officially launched. This was 20 years ago, so memory is fuzzy, but somewhere along the way I was playing it in wine exclusively under Linux. Game updates were common and frequently broke wine, but I kid you not a patch was available within 24h. Yes, this forced me to compile my own wine, but it wasn't that difficult then. Together with "checkinstall" I could maintain a clean .deb package from the source code.
Some links I found in a quick search showing the challenges:

To be honest, keeping the game running in Linux sometimes felt as a fun side quest!
After that I was mostly able to play all my games in Linux, with some exceptions, obviously, that sometimes required me to install windows.
And the companies are controlled by venture capitalists, who are smart and distribute their investments. So they have interests in various companies, including the real estate companies.
And "household income" definition also changed: at the time the most common was that only the man of the household was working. So I'd say we are down to a quarter of what was earned then.
