I’ve only installed Windows once on my machine. Massive regret. The distro I was using was EndeavourOS. Other distros that I’ve installed were Ubuntu and Manjaro. I might look into Bazzite once I get this resolved.

¡No mames wey!

Ah yes, the “My ancestors rightfully stole this land and your existence is oppression, kefir!” crowd. We meet again.

Not to mention, Jewish.

Emulators. Are. Legal.

This was settled with the Sony/Bleem debacle. Bleem only provided the software by which one could emulate PSX games but never the ISO files themselves. Those files could only be provided by the end user regardless of how they obtained them. Sony, of course, couldn’t give less of a shit and sued them anyways. Judges, however, took Bleem’s side on the basis that no copyright infringement had been committed on their behalf. Although Bleem would ultimately win ever lawsuit brought against them, the sheer size of the legal costs led to their closure which makes you wonder if that was Sony’s endgame the whole time.

Here’s a video by Nerrel about the legality of emulation. It’s from 2020 but it is still relevant.

Syndicate from 1993. Don’t know if that fulfills the “RPG” part of Tactical RPG but it’s definitely worth a play.

Good to see another fellow Quake 2 enjoyer.

I don’t want to came off as simping for Capcom because they’re are a corporation and thus are only profit-driven. But I do want to give credit where credit is due. Greenlighting a sequel despite the first attempt being a flop is not something that many publishers would do. This wouldn’t be the last of Capcom’s unorthodox decisions. When the industry was laying off workers left and right, Capcom actually increased their employees pay. If that increase was actually a substantial increase or not I don’t know but other companies won’t even consider increasing employee pay by a cent.

If you have the technical-know-how and the patience, you can install LineageOS on unsupported devices. It might be unstable but, again, if you know what you are doing, you can get around many of the issues.

Yes, Nintendo! Please paywall my nostalgia of the very first game console I ever played! Charge me an exorbitant price during an economic crisis to satisfy my childlike need to regress to a time before I understood what money was!
