Linux on ARM is stuck in the mud? Huh? Everything works fine on ARM, including the desktop. There are like a billion ARM devices running Linux right now.

Or did you mean Linux on Apple hardware? Because that's by design.

I'm pretty happy with how Lower Decks ended with us wanting more instead of getting run into the ground. It's not so much tapped out as... Done. I think SNW will be too.

Unless you can launch offensive weapons at other racers or eat shrooms to speed up or literally launch your car off of a vertical ramp into the sky and it turns into a glider in Forza, I'm pretty sure these games aren't even in the same genre.

Announcing Star Trek: Sisko... A limited run series about Jake running his grandfather's restaurant after achieving a small amount of literary fame.

Aww, now I'm sad Tony Todd is dead.

I had to give up on Soulslike games. It's not that I can't do it, it's that every boss makes me feel frustrated for 30 mins to an hour and I'm cursing a blue streak, pissed off when I'm supposed to be having fun. Not worth it to me or my blood pressure.

Not sure it's really relevant to OP, but I'll vouch for Moonlight. I use it to stream from my beefy desktop to my laptop/Linux tablet that both have weak little integrated GPUs. It's not perfect, need a strong internet connection, but it's 100x better than Steam's integrated version and for remote desktop access too.

A handy tip is that you can fake second monitors without any extra hardware so you don't have to give up a connected screen either.

Pace makers keep you from dying so they're sort of on a different level of need. Also, if corps did planned obsolescence on one, you're probably not around to buy another.

If they were invented today, they would definitely have a predatory subscription model for "monitoring" your heart, or require occasional maintenance at cost to the end user.

The prequels were redeemed? That's news to me.

I'm with you on 1 and 2, but "reduced lingual skills" I think is a bit of a stretch. Becoming fluent in another language takes a lot of effort and people only do it if they have a good long term reason.

I think it's more likely this would cover the vacation / short term business case that is already covered by human interpreters (or apps already) instead.

If I don't bowl today the terrorists win.

Yeah, I was part of those arguments too. In a perfect world Linux would have enough market share to warrant native ports, but Proton getting Wine one-click integrated into Steam and easily targetable is a more realistic bridge to that scenario than holding out on principle. As it is Linux gaming is in the best shape it's ever been in thanks to Proton.

I also think the argument held more weight 20 years ago, before we started packaging up end user apps in giant self-contained images regularly.
