I ended up making a rather large amount of purchases from GOG: the entire catalog for Prince of Persia, Crysis, Crysis Warhead, Vaporum, Hotline Miami 2, and Men of War: Assault Squad.

I hope you feel better soon Perfect Dark!

That's what we get for having farms downstream from livestock. Now that we have fewer EPA regulations you'd best start scrubbing your veggies real well before eating (if you're American).

To be fair I kept buying models that cost $20 to $30 so maybe the higher end ones would last longer. That said, my Moondrops wired headphones cost the same but are way more reliable.

Step 2: Blow out your ear drums.

Same. I can't find any Bluetooth headphones whose batteries don't die in 4 or 5 months anyway. Meanwhile my Moondrop wired headphones have been going strong for almost 3 years.

The fancier ones still can't handle the higher settings of most new poorly optimized games. Even mid-tier cards have a shockingly low amount of RAM for what you're paying.

Sadly not every deserving AA studio gets to survive in the long term nowadays. Minimi Studios is my go to example for this. They made amazing niche games with no exploitative DLC/monetization that were widely praised but rarely played. Sometimes good, honest studios can't make enough money to get by in this day and age and that's a real tragedy.

Few words are dirtier to Republicans than "nationalize". They must be torn between following their god-emperor's hurt feelings and allowing Musk's company to be taken over by the government. The best I see them doing is cancelling all contracts and subsidies with SpaceX/Tesla and passing them off to its competitors.

Linux Mint runs pretty well on 8 gigs of ram on a T460.

Good. I never trusted those integrated apps and thought of them as spyware. Mozilla should go back to focusing on making a lean browser and whatever apps they want to offer should be optional instead of hard coded into their flagship product.

You wouldn't want to keep such old equipment connected to a network anyway. That's only inviting trouble down the line.

Most recently it's Clair Obscur Expedition 33. There's an actual overworld map but you need to get your bearings in area maps and dungeons because there are none. You'll have to use local landmarks to get around, find clues for hidden areas, and the direction you actually need to go. I've spent hours in single areas just getting lost admiring the design and artwork.
