I don’t have a 3d printer though I will see if any public library has one I can use. Making it by hand instead of a 3d printer is something I have not seen done so it may not be practical.

Thanks I haven’t done any 3d printing before but I will look into if any libraries have a 3d printer and if recycling plastic to make the filament is also an option. Either way it 3d printing the the holder and building the container to attach it to out of recycled material would be better than buying a new one out of new plastic.

Its the little circle thing you clip the disc onto that goes through the hole of the dvd to hold it in.

Just an update since youtube blocked invidous it has been a lot harder to use, jing rocks is the only one working for me atm. Piped seems to also not not be working. Youtubes illegal monopoly needs to be broken up.

damn that sucks anticheat has gotten out of hand.

Canabis driver: Where to?

Bag of weed strapped into the backseat: Says nothing because its weed.

Cannabis driver: Okay to the dispensary it is.

Does Sam Conman really think people will fall for this?

The OS that comes preinstalled will always have the largest market share unfortunately. The average person is not going to install a linux iso to a usb and disable bitlocker and whatever else windows adds to make it harder to change the OS. That is before even setting it up and making sure everything works. It helps if you are friends with someone that is into installing operating systems that can help you but not everyone has that friend. The best linux can do is try and keep microsoft in line. Valve has been doing a lot of the heavy lifting in that regard. It is also why user friendly distros are so important. Somebody who thinks emails and the internet is the same thing is not going to go for Arch.

I do think linux needs some tools that automate that sort of thing so the 18 steps becomes like 3. It doesn’t even need to be by the distro itself but scripts made for it. I managed to make a script that does the same thing as robocopy does on windows to replace a certain rundata file for gamemaker 8.1 since it had that glitch that caused the the rundata to become invalid. I did share that script on my magazine in kbin.run and kbin.social unfortunately both are defunct but I could always share it somewhere else or make a community where people ask for help with installing stuff and people make a script for it like /c/makemeascript or something. I will have a look at the affinity suite and see what steps it takes to see if It is something I am skilled enough to automate.

Would games with anticheat work in a windows 10 vm? I am not interested in games that go out of their way to not work in wine but if it works in a vm of windows 10 you might be able to use that for gaming and whatever host os for your web browser emails etc.

I know the value of a collectable would accumulate over time but the thought of a 30 year comic book doubling in value in a year when it turns 31 is kind of funny to think about.

Its one of my favourite abandon-ware games. I have been more interested in the campaign so I used the all in one launcher for singleplayer though I could only get 1.06 to work in wine since 1.09 in the launcher made some sort of call to the windows task manager which results in an error. I have used micro 10 in a virtual machine to test things other than bfme2, Using a vm or dual booting is a good option if you want to play bfme2 in multiplayer. I will test it out if I ever feel like playing multiplayer though I imagine most of the players are really good at pvp.

I have been using linux mint for about 5 months and it was great so I had no intention on changing to pop os until recently. While linux mint has the same placement as windows I find pop os to be simple enough design wise that I think it might actually be easier to use than mint and windows.

I don’t mind as long as they don’t make the ads intrusive. If the ads become intrusive I will try nethersx2.

On pc though I still have a ps2 if I wanted to play on the actual hardware. But I do find Emulation is easier to set up no plugging the AV cords into the tv or constantly having to change discs to play different games. I also use Aethersx2 if I want to play ps2 games on android.

They would have to be pretty incompetent to price the ps6 at $700 since they would be ignoring their own history and the fact that low barrier to entry is what made the ps1/ps2 sell so well in the first place. Sony already cracked the code to success in the 90s. If they fail to remember what they have already learned and the base ps5/ps6 goes up in price they should be fired.

Awesome, If you decide to make a community I will definitely be interested in joining!

Thanks I did do a bit of playstation emulation a few years ago but pcsx2 was a lot less stable back then.

Ps2 at the moment but I have played NES/SNES and ps1.

The first two ratchet and clank games. I also copied the iso for the third game from the disc so I will be playing UYA next. After that I am going to make a copy of Gladiator/Deadlocked and play that.
