I want one too but I play so few games that I think it’s just pursuit-of-shiny-toy. if it weren’t linux, I’d already have talked myself out of it. but more linux games means I might actually play something other than Disco Elysium for the Nth time.
Yeah I kind of want one as a shiny toy too. I was chatting with someone who plays Final Fantasy XI on it via a private server and I thought it was such a cool idea. But it’s honestly nothing I can’t already do on PC.
Yup it is lol. Wow might not work the same, but FFXI was originally on console and has console like controls. It’s actually easier to play it with a pad than m&k.
Yeah XI also had a neat system where the game would auto translate between Japanese and English since the servers were merged between JP and USA so you could use a soft keyboard and type in keywords like “combat” or “magic” and it would auto complete and translate, to make up for the lack of a keyboard a lot of ps2 users faced.

ohh interesting. that makes more sense than WoW where even a keyboard doesn’t have enough buttons.

that seems… exploitable… hahaha. how long did it take before people were using it to send banned words around?
Curses are censored iirc but yeah there was ways around it.
