And then nobody ever made another emulator for Nintendo products again and this definitely does not foreshadow an endless game of whack-a-mole powered by spite.

Surely not.

hi Brazil, I'm Dad!

Yeah, I have a Steam Deck, and it's literally just a PC in the form factor of a Switch. It has a BIOS menu, you can install Windows on it (but you really shouldn't), you can install a different flavor of Linux (I recommend Bazzite) -- you can even install and play pirated Windows games through Proton, more or less fine, though you have to work for it a bit more.

They developed Proton so that they could get Windows games working on the Deck, and the reason they didn't make the Deck run Windows is they wanted greater control over the OS than Windows affords. Proton has benefited all gamers on Linux. More recently, they've officially partnered with Arch as of a few days ago (which is what SteamOS is built on): https://www.tomshardware.com/software/linux/the-arch-linux-team-is-now-working-directly-with-valve-steamos-and-arch-should-both-benefit-greatly

and just to gush a bit more: the Deck is the only thing I can remember pre-ordering in the last 10 years and being genuinely happy that I did.

You know it was free to not post this, right? It would've cost you nothing to simply carry on with your day.

And yet here we are.

y'know, whenever people started getting snippy about pronouns, I often said I was just going to start calling them an "it".

I never thought ̶s̶o̶m̶e̶o̶n̶e̶ something would want that.

If you want a really good 4X game, try Stellaris. It's where I went after 1000+ hours of Civ 5 (and coming to Civ 6 to be disappointed by it, played only like 80 hours), and I've been ̶t̶e̶r̶r̶o̶r̶i̶z̶i̶n̶g̶ liberating the galaxy ever since. I especially like the additional nuances to diplomacy, which are further enhanced by mods -- Civ's AI has always been a bit ham-fisted.

God, wouldn't that be amazing? Things actually getting done instead of our legislators sitting with their thumb up their asses.

Well, less of them sitting with their thumb up their asses.

every time I learn something new about Ohio, I like it just a little bit less, and I already fucking hate Ohio.

Really? After the absolute clownshow that was Starfield, my expectations for TES6 are extremely low.

SIGTERM: stop that.

SIGKILL: That was not a request.

Case power button: listen here you little shit

it's like a garden path sentence written by an eldritch horror
