Amazing how every time you think they’ve finally stopped digging… they whip out the steam shovel and go “Hey y’all, watch this!”

Zyklon-B, the pesticide used in the gas chambers, was still being manufactured, sold and used (for its intended pesticide usage) all the way up until the 2010s iirc.

and this was still under the Zyklon name.

No one says you gotta play games coming out today.

If you only want to play single player, want it to be cheap, and have a great library of games to play… .Pick up a used PS2 or Gamecube. PS2 lets you play both PS2 and PS1 games, gamecube…if you can find a gameboy adapter for it for cheap, also opens up gameboy/gameboycolor/gameboy advance games. real versatile.

Should be able to find one used online/garage sale/classified for cheap. games are abundant, cheap, and amazing.

anything older is starting to get expensive, and anything newer will typically be always online/online drm checks/etc.

Especially true with how AI is absolutely ruining hardware prices atm, with ram costing as much as goddamn video cards.

Course, thats assuming you want to play on the actual hardware, setting up a retropi for SNES/NES/Genesis/ETC is also viable, bit more fraut trying to find the roms nowadays, though. is the best, most affordable option if you want to play PS1 or older, though.

“Wnat to make a billion dollar company cry? use an even worse billion dollar companies attempt to stranglehold control of the internet!”

Just throw away the money you spent, and the social groups that use those games as hangouts!

Yeah, they had the same problem… 13 years ago, and their solution doesnt work on modern OS’s due to package changes and command depreciations.

Thats how about 99% of my internet searches for linux problems end up.

it still exists? wow.

and maybe a place that takes more of reddits traffic

geocities and angelfire.

god i miss the early internet.

Digg is coming back?

Whats next?

Fark?

Rotten. com?

The chances are pretty high that is probably Kims computer, arent they?

You’re the kind of person that says gems like “Computers don’t make mistakes, sir”, Arent you?

“we’d rather amputate that entire source of revenue than pay workers fairly”

Oh come now, Its not just about money.

Its about making sure frat boy culture of sexual harassment and assault continue unabated.

Which is why their latest generation of cards costs almost a thousand dollars or more.

their power and influence wont stop 100 million people breaking down their gates, grabbing them out of their beds, and throwing them into woodchippers.

Completely offtopic, but just saying Pollyanna causes me emotional turmoil thanks to the Earthbound Tribute for the 20th anniversary… 11 years ago, which means Earthbounds now 31 years old. .

Which…Combining the tribute, with the fact its 11 years old, just critically hits me for psychic and emotional damage.

Yeah, but everytime a company gets sold, they always say a bunch of shit that always ends up being lies.

not saying that is happening here, but it happen oftens enough that I just don’t believe anything.

Why is this happening if nothing at all is changing and everything is sunshine and butterflies.

Trying to get all they can out of the last great tech bubble before total collapse.

So Linux, “the free alternative to Windows”, needs corporate backing to sell it and make it mainstream?

It does help. Just look what has been achieved thanks to Valve.

And I think the worst thing, the thing holding Linux back the most, is the divisiveness of the Linux community

True, but the linux community is SO much friendlier and welcoming now than it was 20+ years ago. And its getting better all the time as that kind of behavior gets further and further ostracized, alienated, and shut down.

I still remember the amount of toxic hostility and hatred I received from Linux communities in the late 90s and early aughts when i gave my first couple tries to linux.
