My Linux gaming machine is a Steam Deck, it’s been a pretty positive experience and you only really need to tinker if you’re straying off the golden path.
I imagine we’ll see some new Nintendo innovation with the Switch 2, they are at least good for throwing in a load of wacky ideas with new consoles.
Addendum to 2: never believe that what they say is relevant to what’s actually happening here. You have a lot of faith that the people writing error messages knew what they were doing!
Never dealt with an intermittent failure or race condition, eh?
It’s a console, not a goddamn webshop.
Console makers see them as one and the same. This being Lemmy I have to advise that the only solution is to own your own machine, so best build your own hardware, install Linux, and compile all the games you want to play yourself.

Faced with the return of one of humanity’s greatest threats, you have no choice but to head to THE TENTH CIRCLE OF HELL:
🇬🇧 THE UNITED KINGDOM OF 🇬🇧 GREAT BRITAIN AND NORTHERN IRELAND
I think we should put this on the tourist brochures
Hey beehaw, I’ve got the hottest off-the-press rumour for you today: I predict video game companies will continue to produce video games for the foreseeable future! Unbelievable, I know, but my insider knowledge tells me that companies often seek profit by providing goods and services.
Have a look at the game and you’ll see we’re not really capable of taking over anywhere anymore
Northern England, I think “Northern Britain” would just be Scotland
Wow, “where were you when Lennon died” too old to make a comic about being old, eh?
Probably worth putting this in the post description so we don’t all need to ask “what’s that?”
Fedify is a TypeScript library that makes it easy to create federated server applications based on the ActivityPub protocol.
I didn’t know there was a mobile version. PC version was like £3 and had no ads/payments/nonsense, what’s in the mobile version?
