You should have seen the panic back in 2017 when my team found a cluster of Server 2003 running at a hospital.

The client thought it was fine.

I'm really curious if it'll stick around even longer given how slow tech advancement has become.

I lament it, but I understand it. Last year's reports showed that GoG was barely staying afloat. Their rival shows Linux is only 3% of current market, so GoG probably doesn't want to spread themselves any thinner until they get some surplus cash to test the waters with.

Thank goodness for Heroic launcher.

One of my favorite remotes had the sources split across the top. Composite, Component, VGA, HDMI. And if you hit the button twice it'd cycle through the different ports of that type.

Never found a remote like that again. Now they just throw a menu to slowly browse through.

I take issue with the clickbait title and am ready to perform an "Umm... actually". Morrowind featured controller support for years via the Xbox. It didn't just get it. Heck, it still doesn't officially support controllers on PC. I wouldn't even call OpenMW devs "modders".

My stupid gripe aside, for those who don't know, you can pop in an OG Morrowind Xbox disk into any generation of Xbox console and it'll play. Series X will even boost the resolution up to nearly 4K (1920p).

I saw these guys at Portland Retro Gaming Expo. I played the demo a tiny bit, and while it was interesting in a way... it felt a bit too early to be showing to people. Maybe it was the 3D printed stuff that made it amateurish.

That said, if I am recalling correctly, the was open-source (oh I found the site and it is) so maybe that whole booth was to demonstrate how someone could build their own unit.

I mean, we have Evercade and it's not failed yet.

28 years and there is still nothing close to it. Either they focus too much on flight like Zone of Enders and Daemon X Machina, or they ground it too hard like Front Mission Evolved. No happy middleground.

I really thought with the success of Fires of Rubicon that we'd get a decent attempt at a clone.

I didn't look too far into it yet. I know that Bookworm is good until 2026, though there is a big TBD on whether i386 is part of the 2028 LTS. I guess I have a minimum of another year to figure it out. Not that I do much with 2008 hardware to begin with.

I JUST got done posting about LXQt rescuing old hardware earlier today, found out about this news, booted up my laptop to perform a Debian Trixie upgrade in preparation... only to find out that my Pentium M is too old to rescue. Debian dropped i386.
