Yes! I noticed it… eventually

Well, I don’t really like headphones, so mostly I’m using my living room stereo like it’s 1987 and I just got my first Amiga.

I do have a pair of beyerdynamic DT 990 Pros (3.5 mm TRS) because they’re supposed to sound “neutral” and their main purpose is to aid in audio …“work”… and voice chat. But they’re just fine for gaming, I guess, and have been trouble-free and fairly pleasant to wear (as big headphones go).

Yes. I think Elder Scrolls Online and Guild Wars 2 were my last "anchors" to Windows (7, at the time). I barely ever booted into it… I wanted to be NOT IN WINDOWS more than I wanted to play big fat luxury games.

But I did keep it around until there just wasn’t anything left that I wanted to run but couldn’t. The first Humble Indie Bundles with games like FEZ and Limbo had been out by that point as well as a few bigger titles like The Witcher 2. Wine was much more painful than it is now.

I’ve generally made sure not to buy too “crazy” hardware (like Bluetooth controllers… yes, I’m old and a neophobe and I don’t know what else).

Immediately segfaults for me with no additional diagnosable output :.(

Love the little lights winding their way across your desk!

They are the same game in many ways, but Paradroid has a flat top-down view with smooth omni-directional scrolling and can quickly become FAST AND DEADLY on any of the more dangerous decks…

This Quazatron? I’ve always adored Quazatron in static screenshots in magazines. An isometric/3D-ish Paradroid?! <3! But I guess the Zedex was too alien to me to get around to it.

That could be sweet. Of course, they’ve already tried that, but SteamOS wasn’t really ready then.

And I suppose anyone can get a random mini PC and install Steam on it…

[–] monolalia 3 points 2 years ago

As a non-owner of either handheld, I tentatively agree and would still rather get a Steam Deck.

Jumbling up that bit of rote code was the joke! But the semicolon isn’t supposed to end the line; it tells BASIC to suppress the newline after the print statement. Makes for a better endlessly scrolling text experience ;)
