RIP Arch, I'm on Devuan now. Just have to configure I3 but I'm messing with XFCE once again. It's alright.

I'm debating if I should risk it and repaste my PS3 Slim's CPU and GPU. Seems like a good preventative maintenance considering this console is more than a decade old (The fat models are going to be 20 years old this year) but Sony's hardware is a nightmare with all the different screws you have to keep track of.

Using pacman -Qm to check my foreign packages. None of them appear to be the ones that were compromised followed by this script from catchy OS thread: bash <(curl -s https://cscs.pastes.sh/raw/aurvulntest20260611.sh) it appears none of my packages are compromised (at least that's what I hope).

I am safu. Everything is fire. There's a better overview and update here: https://thecybersecguru.com/news/atomic-arch-aur-supply-chain-attack-ebpf-rootkit/ But suffice to say, I probably won't be updating for the time being. I got a Devuan iso so now I have to mentally debate myself if I should make the switch back to Debian based distros (For my X230T specifically, I run Mint on my desktop).

I've been tempted to try something besides mint for a long time but I just cant justify that

Mint is fine. Just werks for the most part. But on my laptop, I stride towards minimalist i3wm setups. I like having the ability to switch workspaces with bindings and use less than 4GB of ram on the daily.

As if my Vinyl and Vidya list weren't bad enough, I had compiled a list of random misc CDs and DVDs computer software unrelated to gaming. Posting them to my Techblog page right now.

Modern gaming is mostly dead. Take the retropill. Last Switch game I bought was WiZmans World, port of a 2010 DS JRPG. Emulation is free and easy.

Always had, but I like making myself feel pain every once in a while and checking in on the state of gaming. It's like watching a train wreck.

I've been playing King's Fields on PS1 and it's fantastic. I'm going to talk about it in my dailyblog today.

My Summer of No Games Post/E3 Posts are traditional for this time of year. I enjoy blogging about it despite my anger with the industry as a whole.

Oh yeah I still "follow" things, kind of. Every Thursday I check GameFAQs, the eShop, and VNDB. Usually I end up wishlisting whatever just came out on Arcade Archives kek.

I think it helps to keep myself informed with the current industry in the moment I'd ever run into another gamer in the wild. The last time I had a conversation with another gamer IRL was with the Gamestop employee years ago. My cousin doesn't count because we both think the same and we're both jaded.

King's Field is cool dude. I've played both "part ones" -- the Japanese one and the American which as you said is actually #2. Tough bastards, never finished them, good luck!!

With these two new PS3 games, I've updated my vidya list. Wasn't expecting to expand it anytime soon.

I've had good luck buying cartridge-based retro vidya at GameStop. The disc stuff (PS2, 360, whatever) is always in ass shape and overpriced.

I did not see any cartridge stuff other than some DS games. My area is barren so it's not surprising.

A small 10 second teaser isn't enough for me to judge the new remake. I kind of like Wii Sports and the new one lets you use Miis instead of whatever those avatar knock offs are. Still not convinced to buy a Switch 2 after that show. Oh well. I need to hold onto my money anyways.

Nintendo Direct Tomorrow. It's in the morning so I have no idea if I'll be awake by then.

Betting on a OOT remake, it's too obvious. I'd be stunted if it wasn't.

Thanks for reminder. I'm gonna try to watch ๐ God willing it won't be in Unreal Engine, but an Ocarina remake might make me break the no-remakes rule.

Considering doing a "Why I don't like Xbox" post perhaps.
