I've found that the real problem is having a television to plug them in to. Still got my old NES and SNES from when I was a kid. But no modern TV has the RF input to connect them to, they're all digital only. Emulation is much easier.

True, although the ones I know did have the medical qualifications and associated title of 'doctor' and then renounced it when they qualified as surgeons, since it's traditional for them.

Are you the person at my work that keeps raising pull requests with all the code stuffed into AbstractWidgetReaderWriterManagerImplHelperV2 classes consisting purely of static methods with fourteen parameters each? :shakes fist angrily:

Aww, it's got these as well:

Some dwarves like rats for their friendliness, their playfulness, their curiosity and their intelligence.

Bless. Used to have pet rats and couldn't describe them better. We've got pet cats now, and I don't think it would be a good idea to have both - cats might disagree, tho.

Not arguing that you can get slightly better performance for a slightly lower price, but that's a substantially larger machine. The Steam Machine is little bigger than its controller in any dimension and easy to hide on a shelf; that Q300L is definitely a small desktop. It has niceties like HDMI CEC, so that it can wake your TV when you start it up from its controller. And it's whisper-quiet.

$70 extra for a really living-room ready games machine does not seem at all unreasonable to me, plus it turns up ready-assembled. If I had to replace my gaming desktop, it doesn't seem unreasonable. Replacing my gaming desktop would cost about twice what I originally paid for the damned thing as well, but that's a different matter.

PC version is incredibly hard to get working on modern computers, fwiw. SecuROM servers are all closed down; I've got the SKIDROW patches but have never managed to get them to start up. Emulating the 360 or PS3 might be easier...?

Zero remote exploits since it was released. That's what divinely-inspired coding looks like, everyone.

Fill up a jerry can or two with petrol next time you fill up your car, and save the vodka for making martinis.

I had Kodi installed for a few weeks as my television media front-end, but it has:

• the worst UX that you could possibly imagine, with menu after menu arranged seemingly at random, and buttons doing different things at every level
• functionality delivered via plugins, at least half of which do not work
• directory scans failing seemingly at random, with the errors hidden away in log files that you have to shell in to retrieve
• terrible documentation, inevitably consisting of forum pages about how it used to work a decade ago

It may well have a huge amount of functionality, but configuring and using it is the exact opposite of slick. Have uninstalled in favour of KDE with VLC installed, and manipulated via the KDE Connect mobile app, which is somehow a much better big-screen experience.

The RAM is the HBM kind that won't fit in your motherboard at home. The GPUs tend not to have video outputs, require power supplies around a kilowatt, and powered external cooling. The whole lot of going to landfill when the bubble bursts.

The storage is reusable, I think. You might get a deal on SSDs and hard disks.

Just bind update/shutdown to a key you don't press often, like keypad insert.

yay --noconfirm ; sudo shutdown now

Any problems with update, computer is put straight out of its misery. Bang.
