(anything that works on Linux can theoretically be made to work on your toaster, if it also runs Linux!) This is very cool, and if I understand correctly it means that any Godot games could theoretically be played on these NEAT as HECK little devices, yeah?

I hear Anbernic has a sale going on today. Also I recommend going for one that runs Linux if possible, the Android ones are less hackable and therefore less reliable. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧═════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────┘ --- #11 fediverse/3907 --- ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────── kinda wanna make a linux distro that has all the capabilities of a GUI distro and isn't so minimal (like screen recording, calculator, screenshot, wifi manager, etc etc) but with i3 instead of a desktop. they could literally just be symlinks (shortcuts) to scripts that are in your /usr/bin or whatever directory seriously it's not like there's THAT many ways to use ffmpeg, why not just write a script for them? that's what you're going to do when you use it for the first time, anyway, so... ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────┘ --- #12 fediverse/24 --- ═══════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────────────────────── @user-30 Well maybe that's okay :) Dark Souls is a hell of a game that has stood the test of time.
