  and its not linux or mac

  Except there’s already a Mac version of GOG Galaxy.

  This clearly isn’t true though, otherwise there wouldn’t be so much FOSS software.

  I like what GOG do, but gating features, even niche ones, behind a subscription sounds like the first step towards enshittification.

  Also, I’m sure as hell not giving them extra money until they fix their platform on Linux/Steam Deck.

  Buy never software

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Top AI struggle to beat Pokémon game made for 5 year olds.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What is possible is to use the bicycle to bypass smaller walls, which means that the AI is linking the two together, which is actually scary and shows, perhaps, tiny glimpses into future AGI.

  I have no love for AI, but whoever wrote this article has absolutely no idea what he’s talking about. This simply isn’t a thing in the OG Pokemon games.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨One-handed games?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  One really handy thing with the Steam Deck is the ability to remap all of the buttons (as well as the two paddles on the back for each hand), so one could probably make a decent one-handed control setup for 99% of turn-based games. Even ones that require the use of the mouse, given the Deck’s touchpads.

  Vampire Survivors requires nothing except the stick/dpad outside of menus (and I’m pretty sure you can use the touchscreen for menus, too).

  If your friend(s) are stuck using the dpad, it might not be suitable, but Crypt of the Necrodancer only requires four buttons or left, right, up, and down (and you can assign buttons for the button combos normally required to do things like use bombs). This assumes that they like rhythm games.

  If you’re buying a PC that doesn’t have the specs to run Windows 11, you’re probably only using it for web browsing tasks anyway. I’d wager that many of them wouldn’t even notice that they’re using a different OS.

  Remember the Looking Glass fiasco? The people in charge of Firefox are so stupid it’s indistinguishable from malice.
