Honestly, I really just enjoy the fact that a game with "Soviet Republic" in the title is now the center of a court battle regarding private property rights.

I like how this thread devolved from OP critiquing arguments against Linus's format to taking the piss out of tech channel conspiracy theorists. Beautiful, truly beautiful

Might want to check out gog.com - they have lots of older games that have been re-tooled to run on modern systems.
 
There's a sale going on there now, and it looks like they have the specific series you mentioned, too.

I appreciate your suggestions.
 
However, I'd like to quickly speak on this as I've had this suggestion pop up more than once.
 
As long as I'm running Techquickie, we're not going to touch anything like this.
 
You're asking us to advocate for one side of a complicated sociopolitical issue people have very strong feelings about in both directions.
 
The few times we've covered anything that could be taken as remotely related to politics, we've taken great pains to be as even-handed as possible - see, for example, our video on net neutrality.
 
The closest we've come to something like this is our episode on cyberbullying, which we were extremely careful to present in a factual, data-driven manner, instead of coming across as lecturing our viewers about how to treat people online.
 
It was difficult enough coming up with a way to cover the GENERAL phenomenon of people being horrible to each other irrespective of race, gender, nationality, religion, sexual orientation, etc etc while keeping things neutral and evidence-based. Advocating for a specific group, by contrast, is even more difficult to the point where I consider it an absolute minefield.
 
I have my own personal feelings on this matter, but other than saying I don't condone harassment of anyone online (or off), I'm not sharing them and in this case they're irrelevant anyway as taking sides on issues like this is, in my view, a bad idea for most YouTubers, especially those who don't comment on or poke fun at larger societal issues as part of the core of who they are.
 
Regarding the last bit of your quote, if someone actually needs to be told not to be a jerk on the Internet, a video from us isn't going to convince them.
 
Thanks to all who have suggested topics. Keep them coming, I do read them and I've seen some good ones.

Use caution when yo-yoing. If you yo-yo it too hard, it'll leak into your protected memory space
