@rasterman @ChristiJunior @TheMadPirate @vix Maybe go to community college instead of full blown uni unless you absolutely need it. I haven't heard of SJW shit going on in community colleges.

@coolboymew @takao @shpuld Yeah. Apple could've ditched the gaming aspect (or made it secondary) and instead market it as a multimedia PC that is even easier to use than the Mac. Back in the 90s it would've been perfect for internet browsing, shopping, watching movies, etc.

@coolboymew @takao @shpuld Apparently, it actually did ok in Japan, but I guess it's because it also acted as an easy to use computer that plugs directly into a TV and Japanese tend to prefer that setup over traditional PCs.

I also heard that it couldn't live to its full potential as it was one of the first things Steve Jobs axed when he returned to Apple. Steve Jobs clearly hated video games and never wanted Apple to be associated with it outside of casual gaming.

@coolboymew @takao @shpuld I heard most of the software on that thing were just multimedia centers that you would find on the CD-i and the only actual games were Marathon and some Power Rangers game. But given that it is really just a consolized Mac, I'm surprised there isn't an active homebrew scene on it.

@coolboymew @takao @shpuld Apparently, there is a port of Marathon, but you are better off playing Aleph One.

@dielan @ChristiJunior @TheMadPirate @redneonglow@neckbeard.xyz @Moon @why I still think that infamously bad games should be remembered to prevent them from happening again. Games like Superman 64, Sonic 06, Bubsy 3D, the Zelda CD-i games are remembered for a reason.

@Rosamonde @redneonglow@neckbeard.xyz That whole "traitors" list only caused a streisand effect as I kept seeing people wanting to be on that list and people using that list to support those companies who virtual signaled during the George Floyd riots.

@Moon @ChristiJunior @TheMadPirate @redneonglow@neckbeard.xyz @why Neither. It isn't even a game. It's just slightly more interactive than those FMV interactive stories from the 90s.

@why @ChristiJunior @TheMadPirate @redneonglow@neckbeard.xyz @Moon I remember hearing that the developers were required to make the female characters more masculine to "satisfy" the trans audience.

@ChristiJunior @TheMadPirate @redneonglow@neckbeard.xyz @Moon @why
>I now go by personal interest, gameplay footage and user reviews.
Too bad game developers/publishers are trying to manipulate those as well through bot accounts, false DMCAs, etc. Hell, when TLoU2 leaks happened, Sony DMCA'd a relatively obscure imageboard that I frequented.

@thatbrickster @comradeagle Well given that you can install alternative OSes on Android phones I assume that it is possible to do so on Smart-TVs. Otherwise, your best bet is to wait for some company like Purism to make an open-source Smart-TV that let's you install any compatible OS.

@thatbrickster @comradeagle Ubuntu used to have a variant for Smart-TVs and home theater PCs called Mythbuntu. There is also LinuxMCE which is designed for home-theater PCs, but there is probably a way to get it working on Smart TVs.
