Yeah, I said they’re “useless as is”, because they’re running an outdated OS, have internet explorer on them, etc. the hardware is obviously far from useless but getting it to a good place in terms of user experience for a younger audience will involve a time investment. So yes, useless as is.

 

Hi all, the private school I work at has a tonne of old windows 7/8 era desktops in a student library. The place really needs upgrades but they never seem to prioritise replacing these machines. Ive installed Linux on some older laptops of mine and was wondering if you all think it would be worth throwing a light Linux distro on the machines and making them somewhat usable for a web browsing experience for students? They’re useless as is, running ancient windows OS’s. We’re talking pre-7th gen i5’s and in some cases pentium machines here.

Might be pointless but wonder what you guys think?

That’s fair, but again these people have proven they know what they’re doing. Criticising this dev team after a misstep I can get, criticising them in the light of the two games they’ve just delivered just seems like talking for the sake of talking. I grew up with MM being a direct sequel to OoT, I’m fine with building on an already great game. I doubt they’ll let the series stagnate.

I don’t know what to say to someone who doesn’t feel like totk was enough of an innovation but to each their own.

I’m inclined to trust the man who has overseen two masterpieces back-to-back in botw and totk.

Of the 3 I’ve played, it’s TotK

Enter the Gungeon is one of my favourites, I highly recommend it, along with Cuphead and Hades.

They’re not all that experimental but they take a simple idea and execute it to a really high-level. The gameplay in all three is super fun.
