Oh man, Battlezone: the Red Odyssey was one of my first true gaming moments and I loved it so much. It was my most favorite game for a very long time. It was believed for a while thar the source code got lost and it therefore wouldn’t become available as DLC for Battlezone 98 Redux, but I guess the developers either found it or remade it from scratch since DLC has been available for some time now.

I bought Battlezone 1 some time after experiencing Red Odyssey and I was sure it had background music though. It was one of the very few boxed games I bought and remembered it had an awesome looking manual. In 1999, Battlezone II: Combat Commander was released and I don’t think it had a story but only a skirmish RTS/FPS mode. I didn’t like it that much.

Battlezone Gold Edition (2017) has nothing to with the above series I think, and seems more like a spinoff of the 1980’s Battlezone. I’ve seen this game once before but totally forgot it existed until seeing it now. Battlezone Combat Commander (2018) is a remake of Battlezone II (1999).

On a slightly different note, around the same time, Machines made by Acclaim got released which was an RTS where you could control any unit as an FPS. The name is quite unfortunate since Googling information about it is difficult. If you like Battlezone then then you might like this one as well.

I thought they were introducing Easy Anti-Cheat to BFV and BF1 like they have used on BF 2042. EAC can run on Linux if setup properly but EA doesn’t care.

And so does EA who hasn’t done it either and keeps adding the anti cheat to older Battlefield titles. Fuck AAA publishers.

You can find most if not all episodes on YouTube as well. I don’t think there are any high quality versions around anyway.

At launch the PS3 was one of the cheapest Blu-ray players available.

According to the specs the dimensions are 397x208x342 mm, so 22cm wide seems ok.

Didn’t we reach a point where EULAs are non-enforcable? Or is that just in the EU? But regardless, Valve can just ban you and good luck doing anything about it.

Agreed, this has been my experience as well. I tried switching to full time Linux multiple times. I had already used it on my laptop for years but on my desktop I kept going back to Windows because things on Windows just worked the way I wanted and thought that for some things there weren’t any Linux alternatives.

That was until two years ago I challenged myself to only use Linux for a month. I’ve been using Linux on my desktop ever since and only use Windows now and then to play a single game that doesn’t work on Linux due to anti cheat.

I was torrenting Flatout 2 shortly after its release and thought the download size was suspiciously small. It was the first time I played Fallout 2.

We’re not keen on sinking so we’re all sittin’ here a thinking

Cos we built it too big and we’ve run out of wood

Luckfox Pico Mini might be you’re looking for. It’s a Linux SBC that costs around 10 USD, in a Teensy/Raspberry Pico or even smaller formfactor.

Looks like a fun game. Thanks for sharing.

And Bambu Studio is a fork of PrusaSlicer

Also remember Horse Armor DLC for Oblivion, released by Bethesda? Considered by many to be the catalyst of this kind of BS.

Yes, the profit is excessive, but it’s because they have a good product where the competition has not really been putting in much effort and letting Valve get away with it for so long.

Valve’s goal isn’t to maximize profit because they don’t have shareholders that demand it. If they really wanted to maximize profits then there’s a whole lot more to squeeze out of Steam and the games they made. And yes I agree Valve can lower their cut and still make bucket loads of money, but I highly doubt that if they did reduce their cut it would actually lead to cheaper games except for a maybe a few. Because just like Valve, the devs and publishers are profit driven and why would they turn down a potentially bigger profit?

Steam didn’t get to where it is because of market abuse but because of providing a good service, or at least a service that was better than anything else at the time by far. Valve are reaping the rewards now, but are also still providing an arguably better service than it’s competitors. It’s a bit odd that you want to punish a company just for being successful.

Valve isn’t perfect and they’re profit driven, but they’re privately owned and the goals isn’t maximizing profit, which isn’t something you can say about most of their competitors.

I suppose xrandr can help you here: See the Arch wiki about xrandr

Which kernel do you use on Debian? IIRC support for Intel Arc was added in 6.0 or higher. I am using Proxmox (based on Debian) and I had to upgrade from 5.15 to 6.2 kernel to get hardware decoding to work. Have you checked the Jellyfin manual? It’s pretty elaborate on how to get Intel QSV working.

It was never officially named PSX, but it was called that way by people for some reason. I guess to differentiate the fat and slim versions.

FYI: You don’t actually need to have GoG Galaxy installed as per the instructions, you can redeem it on the site as well.
