TBH I was confused when I came across the term “sideloading” for the first few times because I thought it was something new. Part of the plan I guess. Damn.

This made me think of Asimov’s Nightfall…

Night science rules!

Thanks, never knew about that guy. Wow.

Ah, thanks for the insight! I read the IPS mainly helps with the ghosting but also looks better than all the stock screens. But maybe this is just another instance of people getting stuck on details of minor importance instead of focusing on what matters: Having fun! (And I’m pretty happy gaming on my 3000, so…)

Are there really glass faceplates for the 1000? I checked some weeks ago and only found replacements for 2000/3000 (and whole plastic fronts for the 1000s - which can be modded but that seemed like a really annoying job)…

How’s the screen on your Go in comparison btw.?

The 1000 is a little big/heavy for my taste but I’m really tempted to get one for the IPS mod…

Get a Vita. It basically has a PSP built in. It’s super easy to hack too which will give you a ton of improvements and options (like remixed controls for some PSP games so you can enjoy them with twin sticks) - it’s awesome.

A lot of good titles have already been mentioned but holy crap no one said MotorStorm: Arctic Edge? Such a great racer, very polished and it has unique mechanics and a ton of fun vehicles to make it worth your while.

Also: Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception. If you’re looking for an arcade flight sim, this one is for you. (I’d steer clear of it’s successor Joint Assault though.)

This. One kind of good sci-fi is basically thought experiments to better understand the human condition.

I agree we need to get rid of all the bullshit you mentioned - but I don’t think giving up our anonymity or more gated communities (like facebook, twitter, instgram and all those fucked up places) are the solution.

Emo album cover vibes.

All good advice. I used to find a lot of stuff by entering “site:rutracker.org” behind my query in my favorite search engine - don’t know if that still works but I never needed an account there…

Remember to donate to them tough - and btw. they are actually running their services for radical left activists, not filesharing… so I guess it would be cool to please not strain their servers too much.

I want to leave Windows behind… abcde seems the way to go for Linux.

On Windows I use EAC, it’s great but requires a little work to set up. There are a lot of tutorials for it if course.

I’d prefer my internet free…

“Life is a one way street, I’m doing doughnuts.” (Aw Man Oh Dear)

I clicked the icon. It was pleasant.

This took me back, thanks.

A very good point that gets overlooked a lot in this discussion.

No.

I usually don’t engage with gov-stuff because this instance is running smoothly and the users (& crew) here steer it very well.

But on this I have to vote. Because historically if a left movement came into power, the dogmatic Marxists have always sought to persecute the other, especially more progressive (eg. antiauthoritarian), leftists - even if they cooperated with them before and/or helped the movement to succeed. There is a fascist wave and it is getting worse - but (left) authoritarians are not allies, they’re enemies (sooner or later).
