That’s awesome to hear! I’m glad that got it running.

If you haven’t used heroic before it will also let you pull your libraries from Amazon, GOG and Epic if you use any of them.

As someone who keeps the battle.net launcher around for StarCraft 1 & 2, I’ve seen my fair share of issues with Lutris. For the longest time I was able to run the StarCraft games and Overwatch without problems. Over the last few years though, I’ve encountered random issues where I can’t get it running again.

Rather than keep messing with Lutris, on my current install (Bazzite), I installed the Heroic launcher and did a manual install for battle.net. You can choose multiple wine versions or even Proton if you prefer. I have not had any issues with either the launcher or StarCraft games since. Good chance it may allow you to run WoW too.

Good luck!

Every single gas station in my state has gas pumps with screens and ads. Honestly one of the most annoying things today.

I have one gas station that I frequently use and found one of the pumps has a blown out speaker. Even though the ads still play, I hear nothing! The infuriating part comes when that pump is already in use when I arrive. I’ll have to try some of the other comments suggestions here about pressing a side button to mute it

+1 for the framework laptop. Have had zero complaints with mine. Framework also has some guides on their website for specific Linux distros if an issue comes up.

And just echoing another user here: AMD is better supported for the Linux kernel. Speaking from personal experience, I have used both an Intel based and AMD based system with no real issues

I’ve used a wireless mouse, keyboard and xbox series controller with my Bazzite desktop. I usually use the proprietary Microsoft adapter with my controller and it just works. Occasionally I will have to disconnect and reconnect the adapter so it will pair, but that’s about it. Using bluetooth for the controller works too

This is what I did personally. Definitely the easiest route to go as no additional hardware is needed outside of an SD card.

For me personally I took it a step further for gens 1-3 and installed the Pokemon Legacy rom hacks to get a “definitive” experience. No complaints so far.

Should be possible using proton. I did this for Majora’s Mask before Ship2 was released

Outside of the few flashcarts I have, don’t really know the history behind the creation of them. Probably worth looking into the everdrive made by Krikzz as a starting point.

My Life in Gaming also did a few videos on the subject a while back. Here’s one of them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fuHA3k-y6PE

For me personally, I think it’s a good way to play rom hacks on original hardware. Definitely a good way to also not put as much wear and tear on the cartridge slot either

History has the tendency to repeat itself. Considering Nintendo does a lot to cut manufacturing costs where possible, that would be cheaper to keep the new carts from working in the original. I bet you’re right on this

Also a good point. It would be surprising if the protocol wasn’t changed either for the slot itself.

Should be interesting to see how it blocks flashcarts.

That’s exactly what I’m thinking as well. When and if it gets confirmed that the cartridge slot is exactly the same (don’t see why it wouldn’t be) and can read Switch carts, that will probably be it.

More than likely though, Switch 2 carts will have a different type of encryption that things like the Mig switch probably won’t be able to read without an update

Can definitely vouch for Sceptre. Have a computer monitor from them and a TV as well. Absolutely love them both. My concern is actually tracking down Sceptre anything though. They’re constantly out of stock on their website
