Remember that prices in the US are before taxes (VAT) since they differ for each state and are calculated during checkout. I think I'd prefer to move -> buy than to buy -> move.

I'd consider an optical drive emulator like GDEMU so you can store your entire collection on an SD card. This ensures your physical collection lasts longer and loading times are shorter as well.

So much for the "Red Dead Redemption isn't big enough for PC" reason they gave for not porting it back in the day.

Oh nice, I'll have to go check that out. Thank you Nintendo for making me aware of this!

Oh man, Battlezone: the Red Odyssey was one of my first true gaming moments and I loved it so much. It was my most favorite game for a very long time. It was believed for a while thar the source code got lost and it therefore wouldn't become available as DLC for Battlezone 98 Redux, but I guess the developers either found it or remade it from scratch since DLC has been available for some time now.

I bought Battlezone 1 some time after experiencing Red Odyssey and I was sure it had background music though. It was one of the very few boxed games I bought and remembered it had an awesome looking manual. In 1999, Battlezone II: Combat Commander was released and I don't think it had a story but only a skirmish RTS/FPS mode. I didn't like it that much.

Battlezone Gold Edition (2017) has nothing to with the above series I think, and seems more like a spinoff of the 1980's Battlezone. I've seen this game once before but totally forgot it existed until seeing it now. Battlezone Combat Commander (2018) is a remake of Battlezone II (1999).

On a slightly different note, around the same time, Machines made by Acclaim got released which was an RTS where you could control any unit as an FPS. The name is quite unfortunate since Googling information about it is difficult. If you like Battlezone then then you might like this one as well.

You can find most if not all episodes on YouTube as well. I don't think there are any high quality versions around anyway.

At launch the PS3 was one of the cheapest Blu-ray players available.

never install software system-wide without your package manager.

What's the alternative of sudo make install and curl | sudo bash if a package is not available in AUR? I am unfamiliar with make install .

Didn't we reach a point where EULAs are non-enforcable? Or is that just in the EU? But regardless, Valve can just ban you and good luck doing anything about it.

Agreed, this has been my experience as well. I tried switching to full time Linux multiple times. I had already used it on my laptop for years but on my desktop I kept going back to Windows because things on Windows just worked the way I wanted and thought that for some things there weren't any Linux alternatives.

That was until two years ago I challenged myself to only use Linux for a month. I've been using Linux on my desktop ever since and only use Windows now and then to play a single game that doesn't work on Linux due to anti cheat.

Luckfox Pico Mini might be you're looking for. It's a Linux SBC that costs around 10 USD, in a Teensy/Raspberry Pico or even smaller formfactor.
