I noticed yesterday on Steam that a game I was interested in had a much higher percentage of negative reviews from its Early Access days. Since there weren’t enough votes overall to offset these negatives, it really hurt the game’s overall score.
Apologies. I was fatigued from a World Tour.

Good! Good. Let the Linux flow through you. It makes you powerful!
On March 28, 2022, U.S. federal judge Stephanos Bibas accepted a motion by investors Innovate 2 Corp., Continental General Insurance Company, and Leo Capital Holdings LLC to sue Motorsport Games in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. In the filing, the investors accuse four Motorsport Games executives of securities fraud, claiming that the executives provided misleading statistics to the remaining investors of 704Games about the company’s financial situation and the sales performance of its main product, the NASCAR Heat franchise. The investors allege that the information they received allowed Motorsport Games to buy out the remaining shares of 704Games at a significant discount to what Motorsport Games offered at their IPO, at which point the NASCAR Heat series accounted for a majority of Motorsport Games’ total net revenue, estimated at 99%. [48]
In November 2022, Motorsport Games received a notice of non-compliance with Nasdaq listing rules after its board of directors resigned over funding disputes. The company reported losses of $7.5 million against revenue of $1.2 million in the third quarter of 2022.[49]
In January 2023, Motorsport Games organised the fourth annual Le Mans virtual 24-hour endurance race, a parallel to the real-life 24 Hours of Le Mans event. The race took place in Motorsport Games’ sim racing video game rFactor 2 and featured notable motorsport drivers such as Formula One World Champion Max Verstappen and former Formula One driver Romain Grosjean. The event was plagued with server issues and disconnections, and featured a lot of backlash from participants. Verstappen described the event as a “clown show”[50] and online content creator and participant Jimmy Broadbent stated that this would ultimately “damage sim racing”[51] as a medium. Several days after the event, an anonymous employee threatened to publicly leak the source code for NASCAR Heat 5, NASCAR 21: Ignition, KartKraft, and the unreleased IndyCar game unless unpaid wage payments were made.[52]

Seems like a well-run company.
You had me in the first half, not gonna lie
It’s an amazing system. Valve is now selling refurbished models for a 20% discount. Presumably they’ll continue selling them in the future when maybe you’ve got room for it.
You too? I started with Android 1.5 (or whatever the first Motorola Droid shipped with). At that time, Android felt so much closer to my OS of choice - a Linux distro - that I was excited to own a Google phone.
Over time I’ve been less than enthusiastic about what each iteration of the OS brings. Now that it’s near impossible to have root and not have to play Whack A Mole with hiding that root access from specific apps (never mind finding phones where you can unlock the bootloader), I’m out. Google is making it impossible to use your phone the way you want. Pixel phones aren’t attractive to me based on really spotty history.
Linux phones just aren’t there yet. I’ve owned a couple of Pinephones, but I want more from them than they can currently offer.
That leaves Apple. They have their issues, sure, but if I can’t have root control of my phone without massive hassle, then I might as well have a more polished experience. I’m envious of the free features my wife gets on her 2nd gen SE.

Well you kept apologizing for it. We Americans aren’t accustomed to that.
How is this even a response? Oh, just do what you deem appropriate and nothing else? Get outta here with that nonsense.
Hell is other people
Excellent! Thank you for doing this!

They get new knowledge placed in their heads while using the transporters.
I just had to replace the heat cartridge and thermister on my hot end. The print I had going when they failed was 35/37 hours in.
I still have massive affection for my 3D printer, but the HP inkjet printer my wife bought during the early days of Covid is my mortal enemy.
That probably is the best solution because it keeps the moderation burden off of the individual sites.
Most are system-on-a-chip implementations with only okay compatibility. Color palettes will be slightly off or sounds will be a slightly wrong pitch, won’t support all carts, etc.
Your best bet for playing your games on a modern screen is to get an FPGA based system, a top loader NES modded with HDMI output or simply use a cycle-accurate software emulator on a computer.
