If you do check out LBP, do know that all of them were delisted and the official servers shut down a couple years ago. Physical copies are plentiful, but the games had tons of DLC. A lot of it was just cosmetic, but there were a few level packs that added new mechanics. Fortunately, it’s not too difficult to find archives and there are custom servers too.

The servers had actually been down for maintenance for months before the shut down was made official. From what I heard it was because someone figured out how to upload malware through custom levels.

Have you played Klonoa? How about LittleBigPlanet?

Also, Wikipedia has a list of 2.5D games if you’re looking for something new to play.

I did some quick research and SDDM can do what you want by editing the sddm.conf file. You just have to add the username to HideUsers in the [Users] section.

Depending on which display manager you use you could always just use a theme that requires typing a username rather than selecting from a list. I know there are a few SDDM themes like that.

Is that a Nebelung?

Does Neopets count? I think I made my first account there in either late 2002 or early 2003.

Airport security pre-9/11 was pretty horrendous. Hijackings were surprisingly common compared to today, but the difference was that it was usually for a ransom and/or demanding that the plane go somewhere else. This led to a general policy of just going along with hijackers and letting the authorities deal with it later. The most famous example of this kind of scenario is D. B. Cooper.

An important thing to remember about Aviation in general is that every lesson is written in blood. This leads me to PSA 1771. In 1987 a disgruntled former airline employee got on plane, shot his boss and the flight crew, then intentionally crashed the plane killing everyone else. This incident was entirely caused by the poor security practices at the time. The perpetrator’s employee ID hadn’t been taken back when he was fired and because he had those credentials he was able to get on the plane without being searched.

According to the BBC, the one exception is the newer Starlink Wi-Fi router, which the company says is manufactured in Texas.

This is exasperating.

I always end up going back to Arch anyways, so it mostly serves to reaffirm that Arch was the right choice for me in the first place.

I run Arch on my laptop, which is the machine I use most.

My personal desktop runs Cachy at the moment because I felt like trying something new.

The family desktop has Debian for its stability and ease of maintenance (I only have to update it like once a month).

I installed Zorin on my mom’s ex’s computer (and set it to auto update) because he’s a bit technologically impaired.

Edit: I use DietPi on my Raspberry Pi 3B. It was the easiest way to get Nextcloud running.

I have a stack of blank CD-Rs. I mostly bought them for running homebrew and import games on my Dreamcast. Recently I did find some old PC games that wouldn’t work under WINE, so I ended up using some of the CD-Rs to reinstall Windows XP on my Thinkpad T60. That took 8 discs.

I used to use one called BIMP for batch editing, but it doesn’t work since the update to 3.0.

I did see alternative called Batcher, but I haven’t had the chance to try it yet.

There’s a Macho Nacho video on the project that goes over setup and features, but a lot has changed between then and now. I highly recommend checking out the GitHub page afterwards for an updated feature list.

(I personally just use it as a fancy launcher.)

You may want to repost this from a different source. The site this article is posted on is explicitly anti-LGBTQ+.

My sister was telling me about Poppy’s Playtime the other day and it sounds like it fits in this category. She basically said that the plot got more convoluted with each game and that there were absurd plot twists everywhere.

One of the optional add-ons for PSBBN maxed out at a 1 TB drive, but they’ve since made it compatible with 2 TB drives.

It looks like one of the more recent versions of PSBBN Definitive Edition added partial support for third-party adapters. I haven’t kept up with the project lately and my setup is a bit outdated.

I’d go with the Wii. It’s super easy to get homebrew running on a Wii and only requires a compatible SD card (technically it’s not required to actually install the Homebrew Channel, but you’ll need one to actually run and store your emulators and ROMs). Just note that later produced consoles had the GameCube backwards compatibility removed.

Homebrew on a PS2 is more complicated. The easiest way to run homebrew is by purchasing a memory card with FreeMCBoot pre-installed. A better way (in my opinion) is to use a SATA modded Sony network adapter (it must be an original Sony unit) with a 1TB or less SSD (for compatibility reasons) and install PlayStation Broadband Navigator Definitive Edition. If you just want to use FMCB you’ll still want a network adapter and drive, but you can use a third-party one that comes with SATA support out of the box. Another thing is that there were a lot of revisions to the PS2 and not all methods of accessing homebrew work with all models.

Edit: I forgot about the PS2 Slim. You can’t use a network adapter with one, which means you can’t use PSBBN without hardmods.

Edit 2: If you go with a Wii, then follow this guide to hack it.

It’s called Clubhouse Games in North America and 51 Worldwide Classics in Europe.
