Steam Deck is surprisingly capable for PS3 emulation for many games. Have you tried it?

This is not about scraping data.

NO YOU CAN’T. YOU ARE DEAD.

—Terry Pratchet

People getting shot or killed. In reality, they don’t die instantly. They will act more surprised, then the panic sets in as they realise what happened and the pain sets in. They will cry for help as they slowly bleed out. It will take minutes. But that doesn’t look good on the screen. Some movies did parody this.

Yeah, you have a prejudiced view of older people.

There are so many non-twitchy games, though, and hidden object games are not what they grew up with.

And maybe they like twitchy games. Platformers were among the first games older people played in their youth.

I understood some of those words.

Why would older people prefer hidden object games?

Prime Directive.

Why wouldn’t they? Linux is gaining market share.

Proton does not protect you from harm. It’s not a sandbox.

I found the Artemis app and it’s surprisingly close to Apollo and Voyager with Liquid Glass aesthetic and works just as well.

This was leaked early. There is a mitigation (see link for confirmation):

sh -c "printf 'install esp4 /bin/false\ninstall esp6 /bin/false\ninstall rxrpc /bin/false\n' > /etc/modprobe.d/dirtyfrag.conf; rmmod esp4 esp6 rxrpc 2>/dev/null; true"

Ren & Stimpy!

Or even better: the Sam & Max cartoon!

I do wonder about the electricity cost, though. I did some very rudimentary calculations once (so could have been way off) and found that my VPS at 7 euro a month with 500 GB SSD isn’t takt that expensive in comparison, could even be cheaper.

Yeah, I get it. I’d like to try a Raspberry Pi setup sometime. Maybe some home automation stuff. But I don’t require much and don’t want a server rack. I’m a developer, not a network engineer.

Why wouldn’t you recommend it? I’m running my VPS for many of those services just fine. It’s technically not selfhosted, because I’m not doing the infrastructure, but the end result is the same besides not owning the hardware and paying for the electricity bill.

Have you already tested this on Steam Deck? That would be awesome.
