They're perfectly capable of running old games, they proved it times and times again. They just don't want them to be backwards compatible so you have to buy them again.
I mean you could describe basically every phone as this. iPhone is "just a regular phone with a locked down OS", foldables are "just regular phones with a flexible screen". Different people have different design sensibilities, to some this might be ideal.
It doesn't really matter though. It will take away jobs from people in creative industries that only creative people were able to do before. The end result is basically the same.
I really can't stress how good PaperWM is in combination with a touchpad. I wouldn't recommend it at all on a mouse-only environment, but when you can use multitouch gestures to scroll through the workspace it works really well.
Switch is the third best selling console of all time behind the PS2 and the DS. I highly doubt that most people who own switch own something else. What you're saying applies maybe to the core gamer audience, which is honestly pretty small.
In fact, the issue is that Xbox "never"* has done it's own thing, and because of that they are hardly relevant in the console market.
*their entire branding is "gaming box for gamers". The only time they strayed from this was with xbox one where they for some reason decided a "DVR that can also play games" was the way to go.
When I was using Gnome on a laptop, I really enjoyed the PaperWM tiling manager extension. It's not exactly something that can be used with a mouse, but it's a really pleasant touchpad/touch first multitasking interface, where instead of having traditional workspaces that are constrained to the size of your monitor, you basically get infinite horizontally scrollable workspaces that are a joy to navigate with a touchpad.
That's because Mastodon doesn't have direct messages. It is not a chat platform. You can bend the privacy settings to publish posts similarly to DMs, but no one should use it as such.
The issue is that Firefox is, as far as I know, much much more difficult to simply use as just the "rendering engine" for some other customized browser.
There's the arcfox experiment thing that tries to make firefox look and feel the same as arc, but if arc isn't mature, then this thing is just simply unusable to almost everyone. It's still probably easier to do than to make a completely new browser using firefox as a base though.
Yeah, this and having the option to full screen an image (and potentially swipe left/right to move between images inside that post) would be a really welcome QoL improvement. It's basically what stops me from using the app right now.
There's a lot of games that do come close though, but never really reach the full potential and kind of still do feel either like proof of concept demos (Lone Echo, Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners), are just a very simplified arcade experience (Beat Saber), sims (which do work great in VR), or ports of non-VR games that can't by definition fully utilize the full potential of the platform, even with hand tracking added in.
ETS2 and ATS work both really well as road trip games, though they're both in 1:19 scale afaik. Promods don't change the scale, just add massive amounts of new content to it.
I regularly play multi-player convoy with my friends, where we just set up a spotify playlist that we sync through discord and cruise around.
It's called War Remains, and it's basically just a 15 minute VR experience without any real interactive elements. Works really well as a complementary piece to Hardcore History though.
I'd love for something like a watchmaker simulator to exist. You'd get broken watches, and you'd be tasked to take them apart, clean them and fix them up. Basically, something very similar to those almost ASMR videos on youtube where someone restores those completely broken things into a pristine state.
I really hope that Austin will make his voice heard a bit more even after ShillUp returns from his break. This seems like a pretty well reasoned review.
It's an expensive high end GameBoy clone, basically. It uses some specialized hardware (FPGA) to run original GB cartridges and can also run other retro consoles pretty well. It's a bit nicer than most other handheld emulator devices that are on the market right now, although it's limited in some other ways.
Brave is based on Chromium, not Firefox.
