I guess that people interested in gaming will want to play more than a single, decade-old, game.

- phendrenad2 5y agoSomeone really needs to study this phenomenon. If someone said "I don't drive a Prius because I need to tow my boat" and five people immediately said "Hey I put a HEMI v8 diesel engine in my Prius, and it works great to tow my cart full of rocks! (But I haven't tried it on the open road)" you'd think "What are these people doing? Do they think that was helpful?" Do any academic papers touch on what is going on here?

- karmakaze 5y agoThe instructions, while for Starcraft 2, may well work for many not so recent/AAA games. I may be an outlier but I bought PS/2 and PS/3 only for Gran Turismo, and PC gaming is SC2 or a Java Go game client (unless you also count Universal Paperclips). Edit: I also remember that I used to run Windows as host OS and a Linux virtual box with hardware graphics acceleration and direct access to the Linux (ext_) formatted partitions. That was a pretty nice setup. I could if necessary dual boot to real Linux on the same setup.
