I also had some difficulty getting it working on my rig, and I’m not a big fan if Debian’s documentation, as it often does assume knowledge, which makes it harder to follow along and feel confident you’re doing the correct steps.

Ultimately I switched my only Nvidia system to standard Linux Mint to have access to their easy to use Nvidia driver installer, which makes upgrading or downgrading the driver a 1-click process (though it requires a third party PPA done by a canonical employee to access the latest 610 drivers).

Personally my favorite is the first game, but I was overall disappointed with the second game. I felt it was a somewhat dramatic step down in writing quality, and though there were some amazing set pieces, the latter half of the game felt like a bit of a slog to me.

The 3rd game has even worse writing IMO (especially the colonel’s dialog), but I was surprised that, for the most part, I enjoyed the gameplay most of the way through, and found the travelling aspect to be quite neat. I had more fun with it than the 2nd game, at least.

The Nvidia driver in the Debian repos is virtually abandoned, though thankfully the Cuda repos hosted by Nvidia support Debian now, and give Debian users access to the latest drivers, like 610.

$50 can be a lot for some people, but certainly for the DS games and those remasters (along with Breath of the Wild), it could be worth it for many.

Personally I don’t find the Wii U’s catalog compelling enough for the higher price compared to a Wii, and apparently Wii games can look better on a soft-modded wii compared to running them on a Wii U, but for those who like the Wii U’s catalog it probably is the ultimate version.

Bear in mind that only the older revisions of the Wii have GameCube controller and memory card ports, the later revisions removed them (though they can still play GameCube ISO’s from the SD card if softmodded, which works well with the Wii Classic controller).

I feel I’m already at my limit with how many communities I moderate and try to post in, combined with being an admin on slrpnk.net. I would be stretching myself too far creating yet another community, especially one that requires original content to be created for it. :(

The Wii emulates all gameboy, GBC, and gba games if softmodded :)

Honestly, a Wii is kinda the ultimate gamecube for the average person, as that has 100% backwards compatibility, are dirt cheap, have widely available composite cables that are 20x cheaper than the rare gamecube ones, gives you access to the Wii library, and also the ability to easily softmod them to then access the high seas and emulation of 16-bit and 8-bit consoles.

The closest to that would be hard sci-fi, where many authors were in STEM fields and used that background in their writings, or wrote stories based around their real life STEM field (this is often the case in Analog Magazine).

Some were punk in the solarpunk/cyberpunk sense, as they were often anti-authoritarian, and sometimes even anticapitalist.

As an example, The Dispossessed by Ursula Le Guin was about a mathematician who lives on a planet with a mostly Anarchist society (it’s a great read).

It’d be kinda nice if we had a good Photoshop battles community.

Tacticool girlfriend is a great trans gun educator on YouTube, and they made a series for beginners on how to safely use them in self defense, for anyone interested.

Same! Lately I’ve been going back to 90’s titles to see what I missed out on and trying new genres, which has been unexpectedly rewarding, found quite a few gems that really stood the test of time.

Look into Serpico, a whistleblowing cop who was set up to be killed by the department back in 1970’s NY. There’s a great movie about the incident starring Al Pacino, too.

The Quiet Part does cool stuff on solarpunk and other topics.

Andrewism and Anark do good leftist political videos.

Unlearning Economics does leftist economic content.

Black flag Civilian and InRangeTV are good leftist channels that do gun content as well as a variety of other topics. There’s also Tacticool Girlfriend, but that’s moreso just gun content.

This is the time for Permacomputing to shine.

Yes, the Discord-like rooms have since been implemented. It’s quite easy to try, since movim does not require an email for sign up, just a username and password.

PostmarketOS is our best hope for a Linux phone that has no reliance of Google whatsoever. For those who can’t code, donating toward to them (if you have the means) would be very helpful in combating the dystopia Google is pushing

I believe graphically both the ST and Amiga were used to their full potential, I just think the games available on them aren’t actually designed well, as in they had access to so much more memory, but for the most part didn’t know how to create a compelling gameplay or story experience with the additional creative freedom those better specs allowed.

As I say there are a few exceptions on both platforms, I think Another World on the Amiga is a good example of a developer using that extra power extremely well to create a truly novel and innovative experience that stands the test of time.

Hunter is definitely trying to be innovative, but the hardware wasn’t ready for a full 3D open world, and personally I don’t think it holds up as a ‘good game’ today.

I guess the point I’m trying to make is that within the still existing limitations of that era of hardware, most Amiga and ST devs did not have the design chops or writing ability to create a compelling game within those restrictions that would make it a standout even today. Consoles from around the same period such as the Sega Genesis and SNES have pretty similar hardware restrictions to the Amiga and ST, but still have a fairly beloved library of games due to those seeming to attract more talented designers.
