flashbacks from a time when I alone was essentially the entire IT at work (small company, yay). Had to uninstall HP apps from a laptop, there were like ~50 of them and each of questionable purpose. Most of the uninstall attempts said “Error! Can’t, because HP [other app] requires this”… Eventually, through trial and error, I managed to find the proper order to uninstall them all, and it took hours.

It would have been faster to just wipe & clean install windows, but user didn’t want to setup all his stuff again so… :|

Anyway, the laptop was WAY more usable after uninstalling all that crap.

https://github.com/franfermon/8bitdo_update might still work? But the author does recommend using the 8bitdo’s service as first option.

apparently they do now - kinda? https://web.8bitdo.com/ but seems to require a chromium-based browser

ye. you need malmouth and forgotten gods

You’re obviously using a wrong distro. Beatings will continue as planned.

Oooh. Bookmarking the dlc2 for later, gotta finish my current playthrough first.

Thanks!

my work computer runs linux, so only o365 webmail outlook, and it’s… somewhat functional but the damn ai creeps in on every occasion.

automagic autocorrect that can’t decide if I’m typing english, finnish, or mix of both when the occasion needs it? Nah, autocorrect it wrong 100% of the time. But I did find a toggle for it after few weeks.

the apps menu to open eg. teams when needed? only options are copilot and “other apps” - which is also copilot.

not that I need teams that often, but wtf. I started using a bookmark rather than navigating the menus.

Does it have to be sword&sorcery? Cyberpunk 2077 tickles the same things for me. It’s not necessarily as big or open, but theres still plenty to do, see and quest.

cheap

as if.

Yea! They are pretty great, haven’t played many of them yet, but working on it!

Indiana Jones and The Fate of Atlantis, and Sam & Max: Hit The Road. I have probably played through both uncountable times, love 'em. I do like most Lucas ones, few Sierra ones.

Yep, same. I still regularly come back to my point & click adventure games from the 90’s. Such comfort.

gaming industry is researching new ways to disable old games so aging gamers would buy new games

oh, thanks random internet stranger, have a point!

I did do a cursory search for firewatch wallpapers too, but the darkmode term seems to be the key here. Anyhoo, thanks!

edit: though, the site has it in fairly low res, all the download options are super compressed and just (badly) upscaled. But gonna look around if I can find a better version

digging the vibe.

can you share the wallpaper, please? :)

I’d throw memtest on a throwaway usb stick and let it run tests overnight or so, unless errors appear immediately.

Easier than doing a reinstall. :)

Does the restarts happen on idle, gaming/heavy load, or just randomly?

Idle/Random tends to point to ram sticks being faulty, run memtest for few hours or so?

Heavy load crashing could mean flaky power supply.

huh. the 2nd game looks like a game mode for the chikkyhorse but just… for some reason separated as a standalone game.

push to public git repo or archive.org, if you have the rights to the games/assets/etc.

Even if the games are ages old mobile nonsense, they’re always someone’s nostalgia bombs

of course that’s a thing
