  • it’s not as easy as it sounds. The hosting on Twitch wasn’t just for videos but for the chat logs synced to that video as well. So you can’t just download the videos and upload them somewhere else you have to download them using Twitch’s shitty tools so that you get the chat as well.

    That takes a lot of time but they only got about a month to do that. And that assumes that one actually has the time, energy, access and expertise to download the stuff. What about disabled streamers? What about families of deceased streamers? They now have a month to figure all this stuff out if they even receive the news at all.

















  • It’s just a PC with integrated gamepad. Almost all emulators work on Linux as well. It’s even powerful enough to run Switch games. I’ve emulated everything from C64 over general Mame, PS1 and up to Switch.

    The only “suboptimal” thing is that it doesn’t have the best button layout for N64 and Sega consoles. Still Starfox 64 was a lot of fun.

    ScummVM and DOSBox also run great. And I love that I can easily configure the controls to play adventure games with one hand on either side.

    Honestly, there is hardly anything it can’t do.
