No idea.

Not a GBA game but a GB game: Solar Striker

Still have never beat it to this day.

Way more fun, too.

I never could understand the appeal of that game.

Second Ikaruga. A unique way to play a shmup.

I would also give Jamestown+ a try.

It’s fine. I understand why you would be skeptical. I studied metalsmithing in college, so I’m pulling from my knowledge of working with raw copper and applying/avoiding patinas. It has been my experience that raw copper items that touch your skin will develop oxides eventually.

Modern copper pipes don’t have that problem, because they’re often covered with a protective coating from the factory to protect against oxidation (which is why you have to sand joints before soldering, as I’m sure you’re familiar), and people rarely handle them after installation.

These buttons could be just fine and never develop a problematic patina, but I wouldn’t personally take that risk, because ≈$500 replacement cost is high for me. Even the example image shows the characteristic blue oxides, though that could be from an intentionally-induced patina for advertising purposes.

They don’t. Take a look at pennies. The problem is that your fingers aren’t only covered in oil. There’s also sweat, dirt, dead skin, and bacteria.

The other issue is that even if that was true, you’re not touching the entirety of the button. The sides and the underside are just exposed to air, and with enough ambient moisture, expect oxidation to show up eventually.

I like the color of copper, but managing cupric oxide would be a potential headache, especially if it flakes off into the electronics (which it is likely to do on a moving part, like buttons).

You could possibly mitigate this somewhat by running the buttons through a polishing tumbler with burnishing media, but it would give me too much stress knowing that even this isn’t 100% effective.

SteamFork is immutable so any changes may be lost, however it may be useful to update packages to work around a bug. To install packages locally temporarily:

• Log into desktop mode and make the filesystem writeable: sudo steamos-readonly disable
• Install or update the package: Ex. sudo pacman -Sy steamfork-customizations-jupiter

As cool as a new entry into the landscape is, this one still has the same filesystem limitations as SteamOS. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but I do wonder how this one will meaningfully distinguish itself from the others.

I have silicone caps, and my OLED Deck fits just fine in the official case. Dunno what kind the person above is using, but mine are the ones from PlayVital.

It’s not that snug.

The other reason there won’t be an electronic edition is that unlike bunnie, I’m a Chinese national. My offering an app or download specifically for English-speaking hardware engineers to install on their phones would be… iffy. If at some point “I” do offer you such a thing, I’d suggest you not use it.

That “I” is doing a lot of heavy lifting. Even surveilled, she’s still getting out the word to be wary of CCP tactics, like publishing an app using her forged identity.

What an absolute boss.

Apparently it can manage 20 fps on one “TPU” but to get there it was trained on shitload of footage of Doom. So just play Doom?!

Shhhh! Are you nuts? People are going to start realizing this is another tech bubble, like Blockchain…

Get 'em!

Oh, good. Might be worth a look, then

Good to know! Thanks

Thanks! I’m no stranger to old games, so I don’t hold the age against the first one. I just know I wouldn’t have fun if the actual gameplay (not the story elements) was largely the same.

I might watch someone play the first hour only, to see if it fits my playstyle.

Does it play like the first one? If so, I’ll just go read a plot synopsis. The gameplay was so dull and frustrating for me in the first one, but the story was good.

Maybe actiona or xdotools would work?

I like the idea, but with Linux, that could be tricky. Unless it’s an immutable distro, the end user could have modifications causing issues from some borked config, library, or package.

It probably wouldn’t be especially useful info for end users, since ymmv, and Valve already knows what hardware and setups people are using via system scans.

ProtonDB is far more useful and already exists, because it includes system info and fixes people have tried that did/n’t work.

That’s actually brilliant, and if they offered a stripped down base system that end-users could customize downstream (vis a vis BlueBuild and Universal Blue), they could reclaim some of the market.

But they’d have to relinquish some of their control and that precious user telemetry, so I’m with you that it’s obviously how they want it.
