@icedquinn@blob.cat The idea is I want to replicate my gaming setup from the era... I'd do it with actual hardware, but can't really afford that. A virtual machine, though, might capture more of the experience than WINE does(assuming those games would work in WINE at all)

@icedquinn@blob.cat I'll have to look into it.

Is there any QEMU or KVM feature that would allow me to run old(think late 90s early 00s) games in a VM on an era appropriate OS? I doubt things like Windows 98 have drivers for the RX6400 I'm passing through, so actual hardware 3d acceleration might be off the table, but maybe Zen3 is enough to fake it in software for games of that era?

@technomancy@icosahedron.website Ok good, so you may have noticed in Lower Decks S2E10 "First First Contact" where Captain Gomez says this? "Don't worry about it. I've done way worse in front of much more intimidating captains."

This was a reference to spilling hot chocolate on Picard. Lycia Naff even reprised the role.

@technomancy@icosahedron.website Was such a great moment seeing her again.

thankfully, however intimidating, Picard doesn't lose his shit over little mistakes like that like some bosses I've had

@technomancy@icosahedron.website Have you seen "Q, Who"? It's where they meet the Borg. There's a connection to a character in a recent Trek that was a lot of fun.

if you haven't I'd suggest checking it out and seeing if you recognize anyone(apart from the obvious main cast people)

oh just saw a mention of blocklists, and realized that here I don't have to worry about pissing off people like Randi Harper who have popular blocklists that cast a far wider net than they like to claim, with queer people "coincidentally" being the bulk of what any rational person would call false positives.
