CDG Meetup on chickendinnergaming.com and discord.chickendinnergaming.com. Join up!  :great:

The concept is to get people together, chat it up, post it up and just have a good time.  I am trying to make this a weekly event - same time, same places.

Quote from: retro junkie on October 19, 2025, 09:06:45 AMMy first time playing Super Mario Bros was on the SNES. It was the "Super Mario All-Stars." It would be a ton of years later with the Advent of the abundant availability of clone consoles before I actually acquired the original games. At that point I started getting into 8bit gaming.

You get to play Super Mario Bros back in the arcade at all?

Quote from: targetrasp on October 21, 2025, 09:34:12 PMI got super Mario Bros with the NES in 1986 or 87, for a birthday or Christmas. I was 5 or 6 years old. I've played every main line SMB game as they've come out and a ton of the offshoots; always favorites at time of release. Top 10 franchise in my opinion. Very likely my gateway drug into video games, and why I'm still a junkie.

Man... this sounds about right LOL.  I think Nintendo knew what kind of gateway drug they were peddling as well.  These kids... are going to be hooked!!  ;D

What part of Windows Gaming do you not like?  Actually... as I was thinking about this, I made a post lol:
https://www.chickendinnergaming.com/forum/pc-rigs-builds-and-peripheral-devices/windows-versus-linux-gaming/

Really... Steam OS just uses the KDE Plasma desktop on top of Linux. KDE Plasma is decent.  I think it is fairly slick looking though.

The Deck 2 seems to be fairly far out at this time.  And you're right about the compromise... There seems to be a lot of that these days.

PC Rigs, Builds, and Peripheral Devices / Windows Versus Linux Gaming
Last post by BLUEVOODU - October 22, 2025, 11:16:50 AM
I've been hearing and reading that some people prefer Linux over Windows for gaming... and others prefer Windows over Linux. 

More and more, Linux and even Mac has become more and more suitable for gaming.  This is great for more choices to game with... and choices / competition are always great to have when it comes to products.

so what are your thoughts?  Why do you like Linux or Windows over one another?  If you like them both equally, why?

Post it up!

If you have opted in... are you getting notifications via email?   For example, if I @mastermario, @retro junkie, @targetrasp or @CreepinDeth ... are you getting these via email (again, if you opted in for email alerts on the mentions).

Also --> did you receive the announcement over the weekend from CDG on updates and the CDG meet times?  Again, this would only be if you're opted into the announcements.

You can check your opt-ins in your profile under alerts.

I am checking to make sure a few things are properly working.
