And for an actual answer, it depends on the games you have and if you have the proper peripherals (memory cards, analog controller for the few games that require or greatly benefit).
Even getting it connected to a modern TV requires an adapter, and while you might be able to get a “good enough” one for cheap online, it’s kind of a shitshow with unreliable cheap crap all over too.
Honestly if anyone is interested in PS1 amd doesn’t already have the “setup” of a decent CRT and the hardware, they’re probably better off emulating on their PC, maybe using a CRT shader.
If you want the “experience”, you’re better off getting a PS2 and soft-modding it. I wouldn’t even know where to start with trying to find a modchip and the right burnable CDs and drive to burn with. Modded PS2s can load from an internal hard drive, network, or USB depending on the hardware model.

Whatever brings that crazed warlord out of hibernation is good for me. There are a handful of youtubers who have tried to ape the style, but nobody has managed to replace sseth.
Didn’t like his recent top down shooter reccomendation though. The reload mehanic is needlessly complicated, three button presses plus a timing minigame. I can appreciate penalizing early reloads by losing the rest of the mag/clip, I can work with manual reloads, and while I don’t like quicktime event reload mechanics I can tolerate it.
But press R to start the reload, press E to eject the mag, then time your R press to reload faster? Too much for me alongside all the other mechanics.

On top of that, it’s also that “living life to the fullest” has changed over the years, and has different meanings even among members of the same generation.
There are a lot of people injecting doomerism right into their tear ducts lately who openly don’t have long term plans because they seriously believe we’re headed to total collapse and they’ll be dead.
And that older people are more likely to know people who lived “to the fullest” for whatever interpretation of that you have, and have seen what those people have had to deal with as they’ve got older.

I really don’t find that to be the case. Maybe you just have a lot of assholes around you regardless of age.

I haven’t had that kind of stamina since I was 20.
Hit me up around 9pm so I can smoothly transistion from after sex cuddling and pillow talk to snoring in your ear and drooling on the pillow. Don’t ever say I don’t know how to treat a lady right.

The issue is that Linux shouldn’t be making any attempts to handle this at all.
If the various governments are going to try and require this, they can make and maintain their own forks and accept all the responsibility and risk that entails. Or the businesses beholden to the laws can. We have no obligation to make this easier on them, and every reason to make it harder.
If various Linux (and Linux software/component) maintainers would hold the line, we’d be fine.
The godawful mess of what would come from all of these different groups scrambling to implement their own solutions would be the fucking point. The most effective way to manage upwards at people who don’t understand or want to listen is to make them feel pain for their shitty decisions.

I think you just might have sold me on DQB2.
One of the mods I miss from older versions of Minecraft is the Millenaire mod, where villages were actually somewhat simulated, including builders making new structures out of blocks actually around the area. They would sometimes give you quests to get them materials too.

“Hey, do you know where I could find more information on hammers?”
“Yeah, look for all the idiots with broken windows because they decided they didn’t like using keys! Hahuhaha”
It’s quite fun to assume everyone but you is an idiot, but I am in fact aware of that xkcd, and more importantly the myriad benefits of blending in. That doesn’t mean that having another potential tool wouldn’t be useful in specific situations.
I enjoy keeping up with red team style covert infiltration tools and hearing about what actually works in the field for the professionals that do this shit for a living. This video is mostly a guy having fun showing off how much of his own company’s stuff he can fit in a suit, but it gets the point across and touches a little on sureptitious use when he talks about his RFID cloner.
My specific interest in a group investigating this sort of thing was in the actual testing and investigation. To see if anyone had managed to actually test the “overwhelm them with IR” urban legend against any modern equipment, because the last serious test of it that I’m aware of was a decade ago, and the resulting “hat” was obvious as fuck like the hypothetical in the XKCD.
I’ve done a quick search and found a slightly more recent experiment done in 2018 attempting to fool facial recognition instead of just blinding it. Vice overview here, arxiv paper here.
The hat is still pretty damn conspicuous if you ask me: Image
But it’s also 8 years old.
I’m curious on if modern camera equipment like FLOCK has just spent the extra few cents per 100 units for an IR filter, and if the massive strides forward with LED tech might allow for something less horrendously obvious.
I suspect that the most easy and covert method (if you don’t care about adding property damage and the like to your rap sheet if caught) is still just to use a stupid high powered laser to burn out the camera sensor from outside the angle it covers.
