Ooh, that sounds handy, I’ll have to look into it.

Maybe some classic JRPGs? You mention PS1, so I’d personally think of games like the FFs, Chrono Cross, Legend of Dragoon, Xenogears, Suikoden, Grandia, etc.

None require full attention, but are games I’d like to play if I had the time.

This and Balatro (and probably many rogue-lite deckbuilders I haven’t tried) are perfect compulsive time killers. Even though they’re newer, I would say they deserve serious consideration.

Agreed! There are several good ones on 3DS.

Advance Wars is also a great option - you can play a couple of them on 3DS with back-compatibility. Or, of the pocket can play GBA, there’s those.

And there are some PC games out there (although much more recent than 2005) that are in similar genres, like WarGroove or Dark Deity.

Wait, technically, is that disjunction vacuously true? I thought that term meant the premise wasn’t true. And I’d think 1=1 is instead just regular true.

The term for this is openwashing. Seems like it’s been ramping up for a while. Any software or tech vendors know that open(source) is an attractive point, especially to devs. But they don’t want to deal with the realities of it.

Most famous example in recent times of course being OpenAI, which has that name but not much else.

Any misstep, setback, or failure -> mass layoffs.

If they have record breaking success and profits though, I think we’d see mass layoffs instead. v.v

It’s not in-store, but if an app is relatively mainstream it very well might have reviews on https://alternativeto.net/

I wonder if SteamDeck counts toward desktop share here? It kinda is a desktop OS, even though it’s mainly used on a handheld device. Either way, I think that contributes a lot to normalization and stability of the ecoayatem, if not device count.

The big factor though is probably just a shrinking market. For people that aren’t computer nerds or businesses, it’s getting less likely they own a laptop or desktop, and more likely they think their phone is good enough.
