Tesla will buy them next week

If you’re ever at a lan party, I’d say: check it out. It’s quite fun and can get quite challenging on fuller levels.

It’s how I stumbled on it decades ago

You just can’t update perfection.

But there’s “Ricochet: Source” out there as a mod

I worked on it with some people half a life(time) ago. It was playable but we never really finished it properly

I remember downloading it bundled with CS 1.6 - with the download being behind a queing system, so the servers weren’t overloaded.

was in the queue for a day and the download took over night

My account turned 21 a couple months ago. They really should just go “yeah, it’s fine” and don’t ask

transparent custom shells already exist. the problem is, that transparent plastics tend to be more brittle than solid colors

while it took a short hit, it was back up higher again shortly after sadly

yeah, proton is amazing.

I’m using linux for 17 years or so, and just kept my gaming rig as my only windows machine.

Gaming on linux was super hit or miss. Sometimes wine (at its forks) worked nicely, sometime it was unusable.

It got a LOT better when everyone started using unity and unreal, as they have native linux compatibility, but proton now closed the gap nicely

Converted one of my gaming PC SSDs to a Linux disk. and I’m so amazed how well it just works with proton.

When a have some time I’m going to fully convert it to Linux, with a small Windows VM for the 1-2 tools I sometimes need

you can always just run the games at that resolution

my T570 crashed when pickup it up on the bottom right corner.

And after 2 years an 1 month (1 month after warranty), it broke completely. Likely a mainboard defect.

That’s when I said “oh hey, frameworks are exactly as expensive as thinkpads, but way better to repair”

Careful with think pads from the last 6ish years. Their build quality is absolute garbage, even the T series

Nope. Just depends on the processor

*tries to navigate it and gets lost in the abyss of… whatever is 90° perpendicular of the Gaming-Platform-Compass

also so much more expensive. If you want a damn good machine for cheap, the LCD steamdeck is great

Broth…er?

I mean, it makes it a little better, but I’d still be annoyed by it just being 10 bucks.

They might as well not do it. I’d be more insulted than a boss throwing a pizza party

Good. I heard being ionized can be bad for your health

After the lawsuits, it might be all they can afford

Note: this time it’s a proper recall with a visit to a repair shop, not a virtual recall where they patch a software problem via an OTA update
