I remember buying this when it was released from a local new and used music store, The Record Exchange, in NC. Nostalgia indeed.

I recommend the same. For OP’s use case, it’s the best bang for your buck by far.

You’re confusing Cate Blanchet with Gwyneth Paltrow.

If you don’t use suspend mid game, what do you do? Do you shut the device down in between gaming sessions? Or do you just save and exit the game and suspend the OS level?

I don’t understand how that’s a problem. Can you go into a little bit more detail about what you think the consequences might be to manufacturers choosing to use Steam OS or some other Linux operating system on their handheld devices?

I know you’re joking but it’s absolutely possible to love books even when most may be unread. Umberto Eco sings the praises of the so-called “anti-library” here: https://www.themarginalian.org/2015/03/24/umberto-eco-antilibrary/

I assume it’s a hard G as you also hear when people pronounce GNU.

It doesn’t. I’m not really interested in multi-player games of any kind. Partly because I don’t have the time to git gud, and partly because my gaming interest is primarily getting lost in a narrative world.

I went into it knowing nothing. That ending was viscerally shocking.

How can you see what has been blocked?

Great point. Lemmy and Mastadon look more like an effort to claw back the web of open access and decentralization from VCs, grifters, and the like.
