Opinions on Arcanum/Sword of the Samurai/Challenge of the Five Realms? Afar

Hey there, I have been dancing around some games for the Steam Sale. I know it's goofy as they're pocket change, but I really like to have a curated and minimal library of games. So the three I have been dancing around are the three listed. And figured there'd be no better place to ask than here. I like to play some retro games...

Does it seem like there is a major food crisis in the US right now?

Food bank only had raisins. My food stamps were cut by two thirds. Inflation is way up. Specific shortages. I asked some people around me and they're also struggling. No emergency announcements. Feels like a cover up. I heard US shale oil is peaking. All this and I live in the central valley of California, ag central. I should...

It's so strange. There's this really large divide happening in America. And I am not even talking about a political one. It's a huge class one, and you're either on the side of the fence that doesn't seem to think much of anything is going on, or you're drowning every day with something new being thrown at you ever other second. More people are depending on pantries than ever before. If you've got time, consider grabbing from a variety of banks over sticking to just one. Could save your life. Other suggestion is grabbing the world's largest thing of pinto beans and rice (Walmart will ship) and living off of that and a multi-vitamin for as long as you can. Add in some veggies if you can, use the scraps for broth. Best of luck, it looks like folks got your back anyways.

Handheld Linux Retrogaming recommendation? [solved-ish]

I figure it will be a good thing to throw onto a wish list for whatever holiday is coming next. In a perfect world, it would run a Linux-based OS, be moddable, have decent ergonomics for an adult, and kinda just generally not suck. Is a hundred bucks a reasonable price point? One hundred fifty? I grew up in the 8-bit and...

I had a Steam Deck and gave it to my partner because it's gigantic and unwieldy. Just a heads up for the small-handed individuals. The thumb-sticks felt like absolute garbage as well. Hilariously, the biggest thing I can say - is that while the device itself was gigantic - the screen felt relatively small. I decided in the end, to get an old Chromebook and convert it to a Linux based system for all my gaming needs. It's thin, durable, and has an extremely long battery life. I can see the screen inside and outside. It actually feels lighter than the Deck because the weight is evenly distributed through-out it's form. I am very happy with it.

I considered the Miyoo Mini+ but figured I would run into a similar issue where I realized that I was no longer a child and that a Gameboy perhaps isn't the best form factor for an aging gamer. But I think it's quite portable and it might make a solid system.
