Another part of this repentance has been staying away from all contemporary gaming systems (as a Gen-Xer I only really have fondness for Atari 2600 games anyway
); however, I have a dear friend who is an actor and scored a nice part in the upcoming movie of Borderlands. (Which apparently is a video game - it's not something I even heard of until late last week.)To be supportive of my friend, I ought to get familiar with this Borderlands franchise (and also Red Dead Redemption, for the same friend has a decent part in that one as well).
Under no circumstances do I ever buy anything from Microsoft, which seems to mean that any gaming console I purchase will be either PlayStation or Nintendo. And I know less than approximately bubkes about either of those things, though I think I saw, read, dreamt, hallucinated, or heard someone fart the fact that Play Station can play media (MPG's? Netflix? DVD's? YouTube? ) and that earlier incarnations (PS 3 namely) officially supported Linux (though I read that Sony has done away with that, officially).
What exactly comes of Play Station "supporting" Linux - even under Sony's imprimatur of "officialness?" I mean like... can you run LibreOffice and MySQL on it?
(I keep a few instances of my custom money-and-credit-management system networked across a few old PC's on a rinky-dink Ethernet LAN around my house; if I'm going to shell out dough for a damnable Instrument of Screen Time. I would feel better if it could, alongside, contribute to some of my more grown-up endeavors.)
