  I remember when I first bought my Gamecube… I had to sign an agreement that I would never play a non-Nintendo property again. “How could they ever enforce this?” I thought. Little did I know that the next day, the Sony SWAT Team would be bursting into my house to extract my Playstation. It was absolutely terrifying.

  I haven’t played a single non-Nintendo game since.

  Governments could easily get Ancaps on board by renaming themselves to Government, Inc.

  “Nintendo may render…the applicable Nintendo device permanently unusable in whole or in part.”

  This isn’t just a warning from Nintendo that you risk bricking your console if you try to hack it.

  If Nintendo has the power to brick your console, then do you truly own it?

  This sort of shit needs to be illegal.

  and its not linux or mac

  Except there’s already a Mac version of GOG Galaxy.

  I like what GOG do, but gating features, even niche ones, behind a subscription sounds like the first step towards enshittification.

  Also, I’m sure as hell not giving them extra money until they fix their platform on Linux/Steam Deck.

  One really handy thing with the Steam Deck is the ability to remap all of the buttons (as well as the two paddles on the back for each hand), so one could probably make a decent one-handed control setup for 99% of turn-based games. Even ones that require the use of the mouse, given the Deck’s touchpads.

  Vampire Survivors requires nothing except the stick/dpad outside of menus (and I’m pretty sure you can use the touchscreen for menus, too).

  If your friend(s) are stuck using the dpad, it might not be suitable, but Crypt of the Necrodancer only requires four buttons or left, right, up, and down (and you can assign buttons for the button combos normally required to do things like use bombs). This assumes that they like rhythm games.

  …but then your clothes might look like you’ve worn them before.

  What are you? Poor?
