“No thanks.”

When was the last time you used Big Picture? I have a micro ITX build hooked up to my TV running Bazzite desktop, and have Big Picture loading at boot.

It’s a console. And it’s fantastic. It also lets me mod it so I can make it look like a Wii U if I wanted.

Everyone, go update your 2003 forum avatars.

My friend, most people weren’t using PNG in 2003, especially for forum avatars. They were glitchy on browsers (IE) for almost a decade after that.

Ah, so the Model S.

So many words for what’s essentially a 2 sentence story.

Despite the obvious political divide in the US, part of it might be that you can’t tune it or mod it yourself.

Think of them as gaming PCs in terms of customization and performance options. I know people who rebuilt their cars over and over, and even tweak the most minor injection timing to get the most out of it.

Outside of a Plaid or anything in that ballpark, a custom built ICE Mustang will probably smoke something like a EV6 GT in a quarter mile by a second or two. If you could realistically rebuild and mod your EV6 it might be a different story, but instead you get drift mode on that specific model because an executive deemed it so. In this sense the EV6 is a Chromebook. The Mustang runs Linux. The car guys are nerds.

I’m in your camp, I fucking love not having a transmission and being “speedy” in all of my practical daily driving. I’ll never rebuild a Mustang, but if there were an open sourced EV I could mod I’d be there in a heartbeat - and I bet some car guys might come over too.

At a glance I see Spock, Superman, Einstein, and Mr. Miyagi in the cell as well.

You guys have work printers?

Just playing, I have a Brother color laser printer. Had it for about 7 years, replaced the toner only once, prints fantastically. I mostly use it as a scanner and printing coloring pages for the kid.

You got Jazz Jackrabbit to run on the steam deck? I tried to install everything GOG had available (including 2) and had no success with heroic. Teach me your ways.

Thanks for the suggestion! I think I have one of those from a humble bundle, I’ll have to check it out again (it’s been a while). The main thing I’m looking for is a kid friendly “auto steer / auto accelerate” mode that still gives him some sense of control. I noticed a lot of Nickelodeon, licensed games don’t include any voice acting, which irritates me, but the kiddo probably won’t mind.

Disney speedstorm has solid gameplay…. At the expense of being pay to win in most modes. I played enough to “unlock” split screen and politely explained to my kiddo he can only be one of like 3 characters. Damn shame the game has a slot machine barrier. As soon as this sonic game drops though I’m grabbing it.

Eh, I’m from Detroit, we drink Canadian beer and would never speak ill of our southern neighbors. Heck, I grew up watching Hockey Night on CBC and listening to 89x. Can’t speak for the rest of the country though.

But for real, these critters sound scary, and apparently we’re all out of science. Or any sort of common sense. Yeah, we’re fucked.
