For real. It's a ton of fun when you have a Linux server presenting a SMB share and you get a folder called MyFolder and one called MYFOLDER. Take a guess about what happens in that situation. I guarantee it's different

If you still have the original hardware, a flash cart might be worth looking into

Rivals works great on my Linux rig. Occasionally they update and it breaks the intro video, but the core game has been stable since day 1.

For real though, I'd love to see a modern take on this - something in between NMS, Mechwarrior, and FTL. I've not found anything out there with the correct combination of exploration, ship customization and management, and sinister plot. Several games get closer, but they're all missing something

I was a huge fan of Solar Winds: The Escape. Cool plot, aliens, dogfights, ship systems management, evil shadow governments, rebels.... what's not to love? It was my introduction to the genre and will always hold a special place

For some extra fun, try interop between two systems that treat this differently. Create a SMB share on a Linux host, create a folder named TEST from a Windows client, then make Test, tEst, teSt, tesT, and test. Put a few different files in each folder on the Linux side, then try to manage ANY of it from the Windows client

Yeah, but in this case I'm referring to vram. RT is what it is, and most "recent" cards support some kind of RT, even if not well. The concern is more that, for instance, the 3070 only has 8GB. I wouldn't ever say that the 3070 is nearing it's EoL either. The 3060 is the top card in steam, sure, but the next two dozen or so places are almost universally 8GB cards (with varying degrees of RT support) , including several 40xx series. I'm just saying that I don't see a hard RT and >8GB VRAM requirement playing out as well as a lot of people think.

Fair, but it's been shown time and time again that most users are either on "intro level" gpus or weaker. Heck, a midrange from 2 years ago is an 8gb card. I'm not sure how they expect to sell this game at all unless it's just planned to be a bundle add-on for the 50xx/90xx series cards.

In my life, I've had approximately 3 bags of really good red delicious apples. This tells me that it is completely possible for them to be good, but for some reason they aren't. My best guess is that because their look is so synonymous with people's concept of an apple, too much emphasis is placed on their appearance. They don't get picked and bagged at the right time, so they're almost always mealy and bland. I will say that the few times I've managed to find legit red delicious make me understand how they could win an apple contest and why they became the "default" for apple. I don't think they'd be modern contenders for first place, but they're easily a top 5.

Oh for sure, I should have clarified that I was really speaking to the products that already have a US-based manufacturing presence and already have to compete with imports. Ramping up domestic production on things that aren't already manufactured here because of the demented ramblings of a guy who (ostensibly) won't be around in 4 years is just asking for your business to go under

I saw it explained best like this

Current imported price: $30

Current locally made price: $35

New imported price: $70

New locally made price: $69.99
