The game in the example is Bad Street Brawler which is every bit as terrible as portrayed. I have it somewhere still. Could never get past like thr second level.

Er I’m still running a FX-8350 as a gaming machine (not AAA games obviously). I had another one as a host for a few VMs and it was more than enough till the motherboard went. One day I’ll upgrade I guess.

- Comment on Windows 11 Start menu ads are now rolling out to everyone 6 months ago:
MS doesn’t care about the desktop operating system except how can they control it like Apple and iphones. All the money is in O365 and Azure these days.

Motorolas baby, they really hate users.
- Comment on Broadcom yanks ESXi Free version, effective immediately 9 months ago:
Sort of. The activation license will work as long as you have it. They won’t renew support though, which effectively kills it when the support contract runs out.
- Comment on Broadcom yanks ESXi Free version, effective immediately 9 months ago:
Lol no, just old radios. My point is just that my requirements are pretty widely varied.
- Comment on Broadcom yanks ESXi Free version, effective immediately 9 months ago:
I’ve seen you recommending this here before - what’s its selling point vs say qemu-kvm? Does Incus do virtual networking without having to straight up learn iptables or whatever? (Not that there is anything wrong with iptables, I just have to choose what I can learn about)
- Comment on Broadcom yanks ESXi Free version, effective immediately 9 months ago:
Doesn’t mean anything right now if you are running ESXi, except you can’t reinstall ESXi unless you kept the image and you won’t get ESXi updates.
- Comment on Broadcom yanks ESXi Free version, effective immediately 9 months ago:
I need full on segregated machines sometimes though. I’ve got stuff that only runs in Win98 or XP (old radio programming software).
- Comment on virtualizing PFSense. What else works besides ESXi for virtual networking? 9 months ago:
Admittedly I have not dug too deeply into Proxmox but its learning curve appears kinda steep.
