  • The device looks like it'll be good to play most games upto the PSP. While I can suggest the usual suspects, Super Metroid, Metroid 4, SotN, Pokemon I'm going to suggest odd-ball games which I like

    Game Boy

    • Super Mario Bros Deluxe (NES Mario 1 & JP Mario 2 with saves and bonus features)
    • Harry Potter 1,2,&3 (Turn Based RPGs, bit rough but an excellent sound track)
    • Mickey's Speedway USA (made by Rare, fantastic soundtrack, top down racer, GBC game so controls are wonky)

    GBA

    • Crash Nitro Kart (smoother and plays better IMHO than Super Circuit, controls require some patience to master)
    • Spongebob Squarepants the Movie the Game (Made by Wayforward, and is better than I'd expect a license game to be)
    • Jurassic Park Operation Genesis (Zoo tycoon with Dinos on GBA)

    Genesis

    • Ren & Stimpy Stimpy's Invention (beautiful and painful platformer)
    • TMNT Hyperstone Heist (Turtles in Time, but legally distinct so Nintendo didn't sue)
    • Scooby-Doo Mystery (A point and click adventure on the Genesis, yes they made one)

    SNES

    PlayStation

    • Pac-Man World 20th Anniversary (3D Platformer that's aged well)
    • Scooby Doo and the Cyber Chase (A 3D Platformer that hasn't)
    • Harry Potter 1&2 (We have the Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time at home)
    • Rugrats Search for Reptar (if you like the show you'll like the game, otherwise it makes PS1 Hagrid look like the monalisa)
    • The Emperor's New Groove (3D Platformer that's aged a lot better than it should've)

    PSP

    • Star Wars Battlefront II, Renegade Squadron, & Elite Squadron (same concept, 3 different implementations, all have their pros and cons)
    • Modnation Racers (yes they ported a PS3 game to a portable with less power than a PS2, and it's not half bad)
    • LittleBigPlanet (same deal, just with a platformer)
    • LEGO Star Wars II/LEGO Indiana Jones (PS2 games ported to PSP)
  • Final Fantasy 7. I've tried to play it multiple times, but the game's story never pulled me in. And with how long of a trek it is between story moments and the slog of combat encounters I usually put the game down.

  • TBH, when Manjaro broke it was my fault, I know it was my own fault, and I feel if I was running EndeavorOS the results would've been the same if I did the same actions.

    That said, yes the miss-matches repos drove me insane, especially as someone who likes keep my update number at 0, and I can't update AUR packages. And there were a few niggles and grips here and there. But as a power user, who didn't want to touch a terminal, Manjaro has the best set of Setting and Configuration GUI's I've used thus far in Linux. If another distro took what Manjaro did, but kept it to the Arch Repos, then I'd use it in a heart beat.

  • I too am using Linux, but finding an "automatic" linux is difficult since most distros are about performance. It's like trying to find an Italian Sports Car with an automatic.

    And for the general user, they don't install their OS. It's preinstalled on a Laptop, or an all-in-one, think-dell office PC that their company provides them. Sign in like you do with everything today and you are good to go. Even Macs do this.

    Linux has improved, but the desktop os's need to be more stable (in 1 year I broke 2 manjaro installs and my BTFS file system died in my Fedora install), packages need to be more up to date, and there needs to be gui's for any setting that a user needs to access like restarting a systemd process. A general user will not touch a terminal. Let alone download a git repo, just to update the latest build of Mangohud since the Ubuntu version is so out of date that the GOverlay GUI Utility that's on Ubuntu doesn't work with it.

  • Because to most people, a computer is like buying a car, it should just work.

    A Mac is an Automatic, no configuration is needed outside of your favorite radio stations. Sure most people hate that the infotainment was replaced with a touch screen that only support carplay. But hey for the rest of the time they don't think about it. A widows PC is the same thing, but made by Tesla/BMW where the heated seats are a subscription service.

    Linux is a range from manual to a kit car. Sure it can look like the big boys or even cooler. But the amount of work that's required is insane to the average user, and most people won't want to touch the hood, let alone to configure the infotainment so it can connect to your iPhone since it technically supports car play. But to those that know how to use it will swear that their manual car is better in every way than an automatic.

  • I was on Manjaro, and I didn't want to put the effort in for a third time just to break it again. While I prefer arch based distros, I've been liking Mint since I can almost use it without a terminal like manjaro.

  • My uneducated guess based on the comments is that I mentioned Epic Games in the title. With that said, I'd like to know too since if it's my horrible grammar, spelling, and/or opinion I'd like to know.

  • stupid was when I wanted to test Linux Mint on an external SSD, and didn't check that the bootloader wasn't going to overwrite my internal drive's.

    So anyway I'm running Linux Mint now.

  • PlayStation Vita. It was the fame system that could, but has no support, then was saved by indis.

    Has very little use now-a-days thanks to switch and steam deck, but as a easy to mod system with PS1, and PSP support, I still love it.

  • I've never spent a dime on Epic Games. There is nothing it's store front that I want, that I can't get on a better platform. My preference is GOG because of the DRM free software, but I'll take Steam if the deal is that good, or the software needs DRM.

    While I will always see Epic as a good for the industry as a whole. Competition is a good thing. I personally don't like their business practices, and will not spend money on their store.

  • Don't have it yet. Looks like Don't Starve but not as depressing. Might pick it up on a sale.

  • Trying Human resource machine now. Haven't been much in a mood to play new-to-me games, mostly replaying old favorites.

  • The case is bound by cloth, the purple spine and black outline is cloth. While the arms back panel and sleep cover is petg

  • using bottles and proton ge

    I don't think it'll make much of a difference, but according to the git repo, you should be using wine-ge instead. Also Lutris is another option that does the same thing, but has easy install scripts for GOG, Epic Games, Ubisoft Connect, and EA App.

  • If you ever get around to this, I'd love to see it.

  • What are you talking about selling it? We share our games with friends.

  • I had the Mario Advance games, plus Mario Deluxe on GBC. For me it was a natural step with a modern feel. Personally I prefer Mario U, mostly for the rare levels with the unique aesthetics.

  • I also have little trays, but this is more meant to prep for a project, so they just need to be in one place and if it was to fall, not spill. A Magnet would work, but they ain't as cheap as this.

    And yes I had fun, playing with the FreeCAD Linear Patterns tool

  • The point of this was to be cheap. It's more meant to be a quick way to get the correct number of screws ready for a thing and they screws just need to be held down.
