It's a shame that both AMD and Nvidia chose to abandon the sub-$250 market. I think I've mentioned before that I searched and searched for an affordable video card, only to land on stuff that was generations behind. So I ended up with an A580. Only complaint I have so far is that LXDE absolutely hated the card and wouldn't even boot in VESA compatible mode. But that's more a complaint on Debian's glacial pace than Intel.

Yeah, that's kind of why I asked. Gamestop propped up their numbers by bundling the magazine with their discount card. Game Informer wasn't selling on it's own merits, so I think the chance of it rallying with it's old staff is slim.

EDIT: removed the random Apple tangent

so is this an Atari situation where the name is being used but everybody behind it is different?

My library also offers a membership with Flipster (magazines).

I'll be watching this discussion, as I'm currently using Remmina. It meet the bare minimum of SSH & RDP, but it doesn't have a clear method to organize connections and instead uses a big list. I also find the interface a tad counterintuitive, so maybe I'm just using it wrong.

It also seems to have a bug where it launches twice whenever I start my computer. So I have to close one.

It was a few years back that I dumped Brave and had to perform the surgery to remove the service manually. I can't remember the name exactly, but this article says "Brave VPN Service" and "Brave VPN Wireguard Service". You sound like you don't have it installed.

If you are using Windows, double-check your services.msc to ensure that the VPN was disabled/removed. After I got tired of fighting, I uninstalled Brave and the uninstaller did not remove the VPN service. So I have my doubts the patch would remove it.

No, after Brave installed a service level running VPN without my consent, and continued to reinstall it silently every background update even after removal, it's a bad browser. That's what malware does.

Comparing two companies with poor track records doesn't make them good companies when compared to each other.

Doesn't work on Nintendo, for some reason. Mario Tax expanded to anything first or second party, so the best you'll see is $20 off new price on Mar10 for the games that came out 5 years ago. It's like every retailer came to the agreement that Nintendo games don't depreciate.

I hate timers on games that give you little guidance. People claim that Fallout 1's timer is too lenient, but I ended up replaying (and failing) the game twice and still not coming close to finding the water chip. Also, the game constantly reminds you "We're all dying, hurry up! Every minute you take is an other life lost!". Same reason I dislike Lightning Returns.

Everytime this game got ported, I'd retry it. I'd get over the bridge, get into town, fight the pirates, earn the boat... and get completely lost.

I wonder how this compares to OpenShot.

I use OpenShot to trim stuff that LosslessCut can't properly manage, but whenever I use OpenShot I seem to crash it at least once.
