You're right. I wasn't sure if you were talking about new or old games. I'll always encourage owning ROMs as opposed to paying monthly to access them for the few years they'll be available on [current device]. And with such a tiny library, too.
Then there are other factors, like not being able to access certain versions (Nintendo offers only the Shindou version of SM64 because breaking an ancient single player game for fun is verboten).
Not even just out of spite. In a way its another form of "voting with one's wallet". It will affect their sales, and if their heads aren't too far up their assess (like, sitting on their own shoulders), they'll finally get a clue.
But I'm not holding my breath.
This is really cool, thanks for sharing!
You can find plenty of ISO files on archive.org. I'm not sure about the legality of it, so I'll say I don't condone doing it, etc. But some of them have been there for several years, so I think MS doesn't care.
Just be careful about clinking links in the user comments. People have been known to post shady links and moderation seems to be lacking, from what I've seen.
Good luck getting your game to run! Oh, and long live archive.org!
I have a virtual machine with WinXP and one with 98, for when I'm feeling nostalgic :)
Sorry to hear you have to use Windows... I'm still stuck on 10 but I've been enjoying the hell out of Mint Xfce and I'll complete the move soon enough!
Safe from Ukraine maybe. I'm hoping for a pod of orcas to find them!
"You're a loony."
Looks a lot like a Sterling Nova. I wonder what "hurricane" means?
Fun fact: the donor car for a Nova kit is an old Volkswagen Beetle (IIRC)
Edit: I had no idea about the Holden Hurricane! So at least two designers thought the canopy was much cooler than it was inconvenient 😂
Your use of "OOP" and "functional" threw me for a loop for a second, then I remembered this isn't about programming. I should get some extra sleep tonight.
I was just talking to a friend, and I also used "jaded". It's the perfect word to describe my feelings. In any other timeline I'd allow myself slightly more hopefulness.
I don't know nearly enough to determine if I should be excited, but I feel like we need to start walking up a lot of sleeping people. (It sounds like) it's finally happening!
The "fun" part is that it has already discovered the poop knife. We just need to figure out how to coax it out.
It's amazing the amount of freedom I enjoy simply by not being a conservative. When I get home from work I just have a good time playing videogames or whatever else makes me happy. I'm allowed to like whatever I like.
They really should try it. It's liberating 😌
Exactly. That POS has been given more chances to not genocide his neighbors than you or I get when using an incorrect PIN to access our own money.
Fuck putin and fuck the russian government.
Also while we're at it, fuck the IOC. The sports themselves are cool though.
Neat! That reminds me of this thing I saw years ago. I wonder if the underlying phenomenon is the same.
Satanic panic is their whole life. I really pity them. They live in constant fear of not only their god who supposedly "loves" them, but another deity who also doesn't exist.
Let's assume we're not stopped at a traffic signal.
This is only anecdotal, but I heard once that you're not supposed to stop altogether, rather drive at a slower pace so as to let it pass quickly. The person said what was more important is that drivers don't make sudden changes to their behavior. An EMT driver can more safely maneuver if they don't have to predict what any one knucklehead will do the moment they get close.
If this is wrong or needs clarification, please enlighten me!
TL;DR: Have a very expensive laptop and want to make sure I can create a partition on two SSDs in RAID 0 without messing up everything.
Hi everyone!
I'm pretty new to Linux and I'd like to get Mint running on my Windows machine. I used Ubuntu way back in maybe 2010 and I didn't really get why it was so great, except for "holy shit look at the kickass desktop cube!" I also use Arch By The Way with my Steam Deck, but that barely counts as "using" Linux.
These days I'm much more privacy- and FOSS-minded (not to mention more tech-savvy and comfortable with the CLI since becoming a web dev) so I'm ready and excited to take it more seriously. I definitely want to keep Windows on here to keep a more reliable option for playing games.
Now to the meat and potatoes: my laptop came with this storage configuration (capture from the product page): ! From my limited understanding of RAID 0, the two m.2 drives are used as if they're one, with the data being "striped" across them. Would that lead to any issues when I create a primary partition for Mint? Maybe I'm just paranoid, but the last thing I want to do is ruin my laptop.
Here's what Disk Management shows, in case the additional info. is needed: !
I would really appreciate any advice y'all can offer!
