    Twilight Princess PC port "Dusk" gets its first release

    Good stuff. PC decomps/recomps are always rad in my book with untapped framerates and greater freedom compared to the limitations of emulators. Tbh I don't understand why video game publishers don't release the source code after a few years when they've gained all the initial profit (preferably...

    How often do you socialise with friends in a week?

    Physically I meet my friends very little since I moved to a different town after HS and same thing with family. Honestly I don't mind that much, since I'm now in a town with better housing prices for my household, faster internet and most importantly room for a surround sound setup with an...

    Steam OS on PC, what is it like?

    I agree with this take. Personally I don't just see why you wouldn't just install vanilla Arch Linux with the KDE desktop environment with archinstall and from there updating preexisting packages is just a Sudo Pacman -Syu away from being set. Personally I've been using regular Arch with KDE...

    best Wii component cables?

    Yes but again asking in a place like GBAtemp for component cables is trivial when retrorgb exists, but more to the point its honestly embarrassing that people are recommending the OEM component cables over HDRV. If its significantly cheaper than sure but if its costs around if not more than the...

    best Wii component cables?

    I know I'm a bit late to the party but HD-Retrovision cables are built with high quality 75 ohm coaxial cabling with performance equal if not superior to the official OEM cables, I should know because I have their cables for Wii/PS2 and they've been fantastic. But honestly IDK the benefit of...

    Will any company ever produce CRT TVs again?

    Personally I disagree that the only people who are buying CRTs are "Vinyl Hipsters" as I've seen a few comment about, sure original hardware itself has mostly been superseeded with the advent of PC decomps, software emulation and FPGA systems like the MiSTer (with very few exceptions like the OG...

    Valve is delisting "adult games" from Steam in order to comply with payment processors

    Honestly I'm surprised that anyone hasn't mention Monero (XMR) as a viable alternative to the mass censorship of payment processors. Its pretty much the digital equivalent of sending gold/cash to Valve themselves in the sense that you can't really track on who's buying what product and...

    What's your favourite OS ever?

    I gotta be honest, prior to last November I was just using Windows 11 for most of the time until I did a complete 180 and used Archinstall to daily drive Arch with KDE on my main desktop setup. After the new year, I went back to my Lenovo laptop with Mint for productivity which I think is an...

    Gaming What's your favorite PC Game?

    For a PC exclusive title I'd have to say Black Mesa, which is the game that made me branch out into not just FPS games but PC Gaming as a whole. I got into shooters with COD 4 and MCC sure but BM not only hooked me into shooters out of the three but it made me appreciate the official valve...

    so what linux distro do you use?

    Personally I haven't changed, still use Linux Mint (DE: Cinnamon) on my laptop and it works perfectly fine for my school needs, and has the additional benefit of not giving the trouble of how Windows 11 did with my 8 gigs of RAM. Why not join the Linux League group here on GBAtemp? There is an...

    Prefer Operating system?

    Personally I use Windows 11 on my desktop for gaming, might have gone with Windows 10 instead but because I decided to go with 12th gen Intel I had to use the former for e-core support tho it's been pretty good so far so no complaints. As for my laptop I've decided to daily drive Mint mainly...

    Hardware Apple got mac os running....

    Nice hackintoshing, I heard you can learn a lot from the experience and for those hobbyists it can be well worth it. Like to do something of that nature sometime myself once I acquire the proper knowledge to do so.

    Gaming Hardware xbox series x is emulation masterpiece

    Oh yeah, having built my own PC, it makes me giddy playing Super Mario Odyssey or using RPCS3 on my system, not only could it be something that I'd see myself doing five years ago in my wildest dreams, it actively makes me feel so powerful imao.
