Amusingly enough, the steam deck has made a lot of the state of this art get better. Usually if you mount the ISO and then tell Lutris to install it, it’ll work.

I still reserve the right to be astounded. One of my beta readers said I needed to add a disclaimer that this talk is satire, so I went through a few rounds to make the warning right. I guess we didn’t expect someone to get caught up in the title!

I’m astounded, I would have thought that putting an explanation that the article was satire would like…work. Should I have made it giant screaming red text?

Wasn’t that intended to fix an issue where other players in your multiplayer session could cause your console to execute arbitrary code? Imagine the fallout if it became “play Mario Kart and then have your console refuse to boot again”

Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum for me!

The hard part isn’t setting up an instance. The hard part is getting it well-federated. If it’s not well-federated then you’re going to be in a party on your own. If you have a fairly large follow list (about 3-5k) it may be better, but overall it’ll be a bad experience.
