I don’t run any servers and leccy is expensive, they go off when I’m done using them!

No clear line, but to me a script is tying together other programs that you run, those programs themselves are the programs. I guess it’s a matter of how complex the logic is too.

Yep, in my mind piping together other commands is scripting not programming, exactly what shell scripts are for!

Wouldn’t something interpreted like python be a better solution?

Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should

Shell is great, but if you’re using it as a programming language then you’re going to have a bad time. It’s great for scripting, but if you find yourself actually programming in it then save yourself the headache and use an actual language!

Thanks, I’ll keep an eye on the projects and maybe switch at some point

Is it stable enough to recommend for non-techy users? Set-and-forget sounds ideal for someone who doesn’t understand (and doesn’t really need to understand) all the updates their machine is doing.

Good point!

Isn’t bazzite fedora-based? Meaning you use dnf instead of apt or pacman.

publishers literally do not care about existing customers

I’d disagree on this, if they didn’t care about existing customers they’d be making new games instead of remaking games that people already know and like! Sure they might not care about the small fraction of existing customers with very strong opinions, but the market of “oh I remember that game!” is much more lucrative.

Heliboard actually had an update today!

How do you have rclone set up? I thought I had it working but it’s turned out to be way more complex than I initially thought!

I was quite excited when I saw the first one of these pop up, but if every IP owner and their mum is going to release their own dedicated emulator (only capable of playing their pre-installed games, of course) then I fear you’re right.

Why not make a machine that can play your games and other games too? Maybe include a digital shop, maybe a desktop and the ability to run Windows and Linux binaries…

You can rent cloud machines from Amazon, they can get pretty expensive if you forget about them

It’s just a case, but it is pretty cute

A track ball is interesting. Not sure it’s worth the increased thickness compared to Steam Deck style touch pads, but it’s still interesting.

I’m always suspicious about vague terms like that. I usually suspect that if they’re afraid to give the numbers then they’re ashamed that they’re not good enough!

Young me did not work this out!
