Good Morning everyone! Wide Awake Double Dark Brew is ready.
SpaceQ I do hope your power is back today. Draclvr there are ways to install Microsoft Windows on an Apple using "boot camp" or using virtualization software like "Parallel Desktop" so you can play games. I am not tech savvy to be able to do anything like that though.
Oldbroad when I lose power now I lose my landline phone and internet because the signal comes from fiber optic cable. This last time it was a power surge that prevented my service from coming back on...I had to have a tech come out to "digitally reconnect' the signal...at least that's what he said.
Nope! Doesn't say anything about locking the home screen that I can see. As for knowing how manage the icons, for today I do (don't know if I'll remember next week).
Also, it wasn't the Signature Edition that I got. The recommended "dream machine" is actually the z 95 with all the bells and whistles.
It'll be odd playing on a large screen again. I am so totally accustomed to my Steam Deck now. I played Fallout 76 and Avowed and Elex and No Man's Sky and now Witcher 3 on it. Darned good little machine, that one is.
Actually, I have tried to use the new 5.0 Game Manager on an old Windows 7 computer as well as on our Windows 11 computer, and it would not run on Windows 7 but instead gave me an error message.
If you are referring to Lucas Fish's posts, he is well aware that Dire Grove and some other titles do not run on Windows 7.
I finished Tormentum 1: Dark Sorrow. I liked the game but I did not know at the beginning that there were different ways to solve the puzzles and that I was being judged or tested so I ended up "bad" from the get-go.
I think I am going to play Nancy Drew #24: The Captive Curse next.
Somewhere along the line I retired; turned 80; and found myself with lots of time. As a result I can reload and play all my old favorites (The "syberias", most of the "Mysts", and especially "URU") for hours at a time. There are very few advantages to getting old, but that is one of them.
