I can not understand why GKC specifically are getting targeted with the hate when the whole "Physical, but actually it's a download key" bullshit is rampant on all systems.
Do they suck? Absolutely. But at least you can resell them, and they're labeled. Better than "Download key in a box"
The best bits of the Half-Life games are the more slow parts. Just taking in the environmental storytelling, solving simple puzzles, etc. Helps to make the more action sequences feel more impactful and intense.
Wait did you seriously put effort into searching for my posts just to try and be right?
Mate. I appreciate your absolute derangement here but it was like a week ago in a circlejerking thread and I got downvoted because it was a circlejerk. The same kinda post has probably happened like 2 million times at this point across reddit.
Even if you assembled it yourself you would be missing features, such as cec, wake by controller, sleep mid game, etc.
I've been actively mass downvoted on Reddit for being excited for these features. People are really fucking stupid sometimes.
I have a significantly more powerful PC (in a tower case) currently hooked up to my tv surviving the same purpose and I will likely be getting the Steam Machine entirely for these features.
"But just use a dongle" they say. And I do. It works about half the time and I have to do this weird dance involving pulling up Kodi
One day, my network driver broke. None of the discs worked. None of those incoherent "wizards" Windows loves to use worked. Reinstalling Windows broke more things. I couldn't get online for about 2 months.
One day I was at the bookstore and saw a Fedora Core book with an OS disc. I thought it was cool so I convinced mom to get it. Went home, blundered my way through the install and everything just worked.
I cannot for the life of me understand how XP is routinely loved by everyone. It looked like a muddy fisher-price toybox.
No, I didn't. Probably because you never said you did. Weird how that works.
Now, had you said "Hey, I run a business, something like this would probably cost X per year and I think I would have Y users. Which would mean I'd minimally have to charge Z to make this viable" I probably would have given my input.
Well I'm glad you would go into the depth of researching the economic viability of something when you think "I'd like to have this amenity".
But I don't. Because why the fuck would I?
If someone wants to go through the work of researching the costs of setting up such a service, layout the costs, and make some proposals and how much they'd need to charge to the community I'd happily contribute.
Until then....dude you took an offhand "Hey I'd like to see something like this" and turned it into some weird obsession with making me name how much i'd spend on something.
I want a kebab shop down the street. You gonna demand I tell you how much I'd pay for a kebab and then wildly insult the community for not doing it themselves?
without any reward
It is called a business. Someone sees a potential opportunity (through, i dunno. People talking about how much they'd like it), does the research, determines if it's a viable investment on their part, and either starts it up or doesn't.
Of course I didn't respond to it. Because it has nothing to do with my point. Im not going to go out there and do extensive business research just to satisfy your weird demand.
It's something I'd like to see someone take on. It's something I'd wager other people would like to see take on. The economic viability I leave to anyone that wants to take it on.
I would love to see hosts start offering subscription based instances and do things like paying for regular auditing of their infrastructure to give us some assurance that our data is actually secure.
The 3DSXL is the best. Hands down. It has native support for 3DS/DS games as you'd expect, however it also has native support for GBA games (As in not emulated).
Obviously not for GBA carts, and you do need to do a bit of fuckery to get them to work, but work they do.
British Food is awesome. It's not very colorful or ultra complex but it's the kinda food that warms the soul.
A good Sunday Roast with yorkshire pudding, lamb, roasted potatoes, peas, and gravy
Fish and Chips served with a good curry or mushy peas
Fresh warm scones with clotted cream and jam
A proper fry up with a cup of tea
Beef Wellington
Pie Mash
Meat pies
Bridies
Scotch Eggs
Minemeat Pies
Spotted Dick (Yeah yeah)
Treacle Tart
Banoffee Pie
There are few things that bring me more joy than popping into a Greggs on a cold rainy morning for an overheated cup of generic tea and a sausage roll.
Out of curiosity, what apps were you unable to get from the repository that can't be found in discover/software/whatever?
Those apps are front-ends for the OS's package manager so as long as it's in the repository, it should be in there.
