Knocking is usually reads (from the header seeking), brrr is heavy writes.

2D: Survivors/Bullet Heaven type games. Most are WASD to move, mouse to aim (if at all).

3D: Vampire Hunters. Since it auto shoots the focus is on movement: strafing, aiming, and avoiding getting hit by mobs. Dying early is expected, so no pressure on getting a perfect run.

Yeah, and it sucks that plants can be patented. Monsanto in particular can go die in a fire.

NAL, but as it was explained to me by a lawyer: Part of a patent remaining valid is demonstrating that they put consistent effort into enforcing it. Nintendo not having filed suit against the other companies (if the games are indeed found to be violating the same patent) lays groundwork for invalidation. This is for example the reason Pepsico sued farmers in India for cultivating their patented potato - not because it would harm their business, but because it would harm the validity of their patent if they didn’t.

Trackball gang! There’s dozens of us. Dozens!

The corridor was only physical. Bioshock’s appeal was not where the player could go, but how the player overcomes the obstacles along the way.

I bought one and put Bazzite on it. It’s now my kids’ gaming console. Integrated GPUs are perfectly cromulent for most casual games.

Are they going to be binning those too?

Before Bioware there was Origin Systems: Ultima, Wing Commander, System Shock, BioForge…

The other responses have so far talked about hardware setup, so I’m not going to do that. Instead I’m looking at your software setup: VMs can be comparatively power inefficient compared to containers, specially for always-on services that idle often.

Doesn’t matter to the D-Link bean counters. Either case is a non-sale to them. Never mind that they tank whatever is left of their already terrible reputation, all they care about is immediate shareholder revenue generation, and spending money maintaining software for older hardware is a loss to them.

I have my SD docked into a 4k monitor most of the time, and I can tell you with certainty that some games will struggle at 4k on the SD. You can still use the 4k monitor for them, just play at a lower resolution.

Does registry still have that problem of making it practically impossible to do garbage collection on old images?

If I had a nickel for every time in the past week I saw an article about a courier game I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t much, but it’s odd that it happened twice.

Yeah, you’d have a LoadBalancer service for Traefik which gets assigned a VIP outside the cluster.

Yeah, metallb.

The container is reproducible. Container configuration is in version control. That leaves you with the volumes mounted into the container, which you back up like any other disk.

It’s not that Seagate improved (which it may have), it’s more that WD has noticeably declined. It’s not a race to the bottom (yet), but there’s effectively no competition any more, so they aren’t incentivised to improve quality.
