Comment Re:Use Linux (Score 1) 169

Unfortunately, there are entire genres of games that don't work on Linux, mostly because of anticheat.

None of the popular battle royale games work in Proton, and in fact won't even run in a Windows install inside VMware. (PUBG and Fortnite are a complete no-go.)

Other than that I've been able to get most games working with more or less faffing about although sometimes there are completely baffling issues I could certainly understand people not wanting to deal with.

To be fair, actual dead people have been in movies - there's a skeleton out there that willed her remains to the film industry. (She was a stage actress in life, and wanted to keep acting after she kicked the bucket.) She was 'Arch Stanton' in The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.

Which is both creepy and kind of awesome.

Comment As an Amiga user... (Score 4, Informative) 76

... AmiKit blows. It installs a ton of crap that did *exist* for the Amiga, yes, but it tries to make it feel non-Amiga-ish.

A Windows taskbar (without removing the Amiga menu bar, mind you, so you have it top and bottom), bad transparency, and hideously gaudy icons.

And it's not even complete. They charge 30 to 80 euros for it, and it doesn't include the ROM files you need to run the damn thing.

If you're going to buy an Amiga emulator, just get Amiga Forever. It's $10 to $40 depending on version, and has legal ROMs and Workbench disks.

2020 Veloster. I paid about $24K for it new, traded it in for just over $23K, and the Bolt was $24k. I have no idea how Veloster resale values compare to other Hyundais. It's a weird car.

I generally keep my cars so long that they're worthless when I'm done, so I'm not terribly concerned about resale value. When I got the Veloster I really wanted an electric, but at the time they weren't in the budget. The current market made it feasible for me.

Had it not been for the market stuff, I would have just kept the Hyundai. It's a decent car, just not what I really wanted.

Comment I just got a Bolt (Score 4, Interesting) 137

I just traded in my '20 Hyundai hatchback on a '19 Bolt with the same amount of miles. And given the current severely messed up state of the car market, wound up saving quite a bit on my âtransportation.

The recall has been done, so it has a brand new battery.

People have asked 'Aren't you afraid of the fire recall?' to which my response is "You mean the firer recall on my Hyundai, for improperly hardened piston oil rings, that could make it burst into flame and detonate at speed, throwing shrapnel?"

The Bolt's battery recall was pretty spectacular in that it was all of them ever sold, but it's not like gas cars don't have similarly scary recalls.
