Honestly, with a 4k TV and a MiSTer, you can do some amazing things with shadowmasks and scanline filters, it looks good. And still, very very little latency (I can beat Tyson in Punch Out on an LCD display, no issues – try that on Lakka)

Look into a MiSTer FPGA. It's way better than a pi (latency!) for everything up to ps1/n64/Saturn

I'd argue that they're more likely to morph into a patent troll if they ever do get anywhere close to their death throes.

We might even be witnessing the Genesis of that transformation now.

They have such a deep patent portfolio that they could really fuck with the whole industry.

Nintendo hates its fans. They should reap the negative PR. Problem is, way too many corporate simps.

The speedrunning community must a lil shook with the emulation strikes, lately.

I gave up on KVMs.

Each of my screens has more than one input, my mouse & keeb can each pair with 3 PCs and there's a button on to toggle between.

Sure, it's a few more button presses, but it doesn't cost me a dime for functionality that's baked in already.

Mind if I ask why you're sticking with Debian for gaming? Debian's awesome for servers because you want the stability; but for gaming, you generally want nice fresh packages, updated drivers, etc etc. I'd use Bazzite or Nobara – the former if you're comfortable with immutable/atomic paradigm, the latter if not.

Coffee grounds can be added to enhance almost any chocolate dessert, in my experience. I use such times as an excuse to make brownies (go go Costco's Godiva brownie mix!) for the kids and I.

Because the Cons in power are the party of F you, got mine (and will get my buddies [cough, construction industry, cough] theirs)

They always had the absolute right to do so. Norms were that they didn't, but the right existed.

Just ban Air BnB. Your residence is precisely that. It's not an income stream.

Municipalities exist at the convenience of the Province. They can, and will, interfere as much as they please. Not saying this is a good thing, but it is how things are.

Only way to solve a lot of problems with these incumbents.

The ccts has teeth, and you will get a call from the office of the President, and your issue will get resolved.

 

I suggest that this community should consider bringing in the "Daily Simple Questions" threads. They were fun to participate and build community. Perhaps make the threads weekly, instead of daily as the community continues to grow with Redfugees.

Don't worry about the reputation / !check system, though. Upvotes for good advice is sufficient, IMO.
