Quake series are good, but 3 is mainly geared towards multiplayer. Return to castle Wolfenstein is great, uses the quake 3 engine.

Other great games that haven’t been listed… system shock 2, strife, knights and merchants, commander keen, supaplex, Dune 2000

They will move the goal post and complain about something else Linux does or doesn’t do.

Local schools are offering “image editing” courses, which is always just learning how to use Photoshop. They are 4 3-month courses. People just need to accept they think Photoshop is easy because they’ve using it for so long and they’re used to it.

Good news is that since recently they also offer the courses with GIMP.

I still have those on one of the forums I occasionally still visit, but it might disappear soon after nearly 2 and a half decades.

Yeah, how do I know that the PC isn’t slacking?

When you didn’t make the bookmark, you were basically trying to backtrack which links you followed and what sites you visited to get back to that one website.

Back to 90s internet you say?

I would argue the entirety of debian is one big “ESR” so it’s not out of place. If you want latest releases of software then Debian is not the droid you are looking for.

You don’t enjoy the thrill of “download button roulette”? One of them leads to salvation, the rest to damnation. Which will it be?

I need to know what user agent you are using before I can make a proper assessment. “Haha Microsoft thinks my Linux computer has edge installed”, if you present it outward as a Windows pc, isn’t really fair.

Isn’t that any OS?

Is Zillion a game that makes use of the phaser?

3, & Knuckles? On the Master System?

I’ve been trying phantasy star but keep getting wrecked by the dudes near the water. They clap my ass in a few hits. The version I have doesn’t have saves 🥲

Fantasy Zone, Wonder Boy, Sonic (1), Alex Kidd, Hook, Alien Storm

It wouldn’t because as you said, software render is ran on CPU not GPU.

I was walking on eggshells asking about a particular problem that occurred on Arch Linux and Arch Linux ARM and I had posted the ALARM logs because that’s the one I was using when making the post.

I agree with the stopwatch.

I don’t understand your second point.

I checked gadgetbridge, the app I use with the pinetime, and it shows a history of my heart rate and steps and tries to determine if I was “active”. Apparently it does keep track of HR intervals, but it only checks my rate when the watch has the screen active (so whenever checking time, notifications,etc) so random intervals rather than fixed.

I think it’s reliable though. It does what I want out of it and it’s open source, which to me is the main attraction for that price. Idk why they had to make it more expensive for the EU market though. Triple the USD cost, but still. I don’t know if there’s other smart watches that do more or cost less that are also open source and similarly usable?

It’s a raspberry pi clone so to speak, made by hardkernel. Their latest C board is the C4, pretty happy about em. Running Arch Linux for browsing and light gaming.

I tinker more with my pinephone than my pinetime, which is basically “waiting for an update and then applying it”. Out of the 2 the Pinetime is the one I use, the Pinephone is currently substituting as a pihole because I broke the Odroid C1.

There’s a lot more to do and play with on the phone compared to the watch, but the watch is reliable to use daily.
