I own the GOG Version of Quake: https://www.gog.com/game/quake_the_offering

Is it possible to simply put the .pak (or .wad? or .id3? or what its called) file of the new Horde Mode into the "classical" quake ?
Or is it possible to run it with http://quakespasm.sourceforge.net/ or similar quake source port ?
Bethesda has tied his quake version to the Launcher, which is Online only and not really DRM free.

This fits very well for me. Being able to stream games via steam at home form my gaming PC (think of as a "portable steam link" device).
When on the road (a.k.a. in the train) i can play the "older" not GPU heavy games offline.
Once at home, the savegame is synced in the steam cloud automatically for me to continue anytime on my Gaming PC.

this sound great !

this device will be an INSTABUY for me (if the price will not be toooo astronomical which i doubt)

I seriously believe this Idea isn't that bad. Let the "woke movement" fork the FSF and do their thing; keep Stallman at the Original.

So, Microsoft is out of responsibility? The Victim is to blame? It is /my own/ fault if i still use Windows XP?

It seems to me like this whole WannaCry "Campaign" is about softly forcing users - by fear - to switch to Windows10+. All the newest built-in spy features are not available on the older Systems, at least not so comfortable preconfigured. Time to get more percentage of the population watched!

Oh, OSS Operating Systems will be the true last Boss for (elite) people thinking that way.

try Yapet: http://www.guengel.ch/myapps/yapet/index.shtml

It s running on a Terminal, can thus be easily accessed via ssh.
And it support different password files. The Encryption provided may be
good enough for your needs.
