@wyldrstallyns No, I will answer. Normal work, walking around, bumping into things, etc. Stuff that happens when things are in a pocket and a person actually does something other than standing still.

To clarify, the typical human leg has a vaguely roundish shape, not square and flat.

@wyldrstallyns That actually is worse. Out is better. You want the portion with the screen to bend the least.

@Zink @0ops I want to add on the subject of VMs for work: a VM is worlds easier to backup, to port to other hardware, etc etc. Plus it has some (potentially quite major) advantages of isolation. I’m actually of the opinion that any work environment that can safely go into a VM probably should anyway.

The only catch is the VM corporations aren’t so great. VMWare is wrecked and Oracle isn’t a great company either. Qemu is good, but really hard to use. (If you can do it, it’s super portable and probably should be more reliable though.)

WINE options via a manager like Bottles with encapsulated runners are almost as good at this.

@jodanlime I always wondered why Nintendo never just did the whole thing that SONY did where the PSP could connect up to a PS3 and that sort of thing. I felt sure they would do that with the Switch when it came out, but they didn’t.

I can’t entirely agree that that was a defining factor that would make or break it though. The GB, GBC, GBA, NDS, and 3DS all were not dockable and they were all insanely successful for a really long time. The thing is, truly portable gaming is different. Each has its own purpose and use-case and allows for different gaming experiences. The Switch gave us full-scale games with full-scale graphics (within limits) and the full console experience in handheld, but the 3DS was small, light, and easily played hours and hours on end even lying down.

@Zander @Eeveecraft @mozilla @firefox Yes, I’d say they’re fairly similar. It’s a fork of the mobile version of Firefox, so it’s kind of a different beast in its own way, but they take similar views and methods on privacy and security.

@Eeveecraft @mozilla @firefox What are you talking about? Mozilla saw that everyone was going to their browser to get away from Google, so naturally they did the intelligent thing and became more like Google. I mean, it makes perfect sense, right?

There is a setting in about:config to completely disable it, but I’d recommend that you switch to a fork like LibreWolf on PC or IronFox on Android to ensure stuff like that will be disabled to begin with even if later updates would turn it on.

@PerfectDark Got my HD hooked up. I need to reinstall some stuff among other things, so now was a good time.

Add to my earlier list:
Ico
Shadow of the Colossus
Dragon Quest VIII (don’t worry, zero connection between DQ games of this range, so it doesn’t matter where you start)
Drakan - kind of fun game, but don’t play on disc, use a harddrive
Need for Speed Underground 2
Odin Sphere (hard to believe this is a PS2 game graphically! But sadly gameplay does get grindy and repetitive. Heck of a story and graphics though.)
R-Type Final
Rule of Rose (might be hard to find)
Ys VI: Ark of Napishtim
Baroque translation
Breath of Fire V: Dragon Quarter
Phantasy Star Universe (undub)
Star Ocean 3 (undub)
Wizardry - Tales of the Forsaken Land
Rogue Galaxy

There are more!

@PerfectDark There are two Tenchu games on the PS2, but I loved that one because the one character (Rin I believe was her name) was a lot more fun to play somehow. Couldn’t say how, just was.

It’s a stealth game though, so if you don’t like stealth you probably won’t like Tenchu. You can technically play it without stealth, but it’s not going to be much fun…

Persona 3 is excellent. I think, depending on preferences, 3 and 4 are the best in the series. 5 had its moments, but it was like 75% of 4 to me story-wise. Between 3 and 4 it depends on what you like. 4 is a bit lighter-hearted and more “Japanese culture” whereas 3 is much darker and more directly “save the world” type stuff.

@PerfectDark (I’ve got a lot more and I want to remind myself, but sites like Mobygames are giving me a hard time. Anything good for just a simple list of games?)
