I’ve never owned a hard drive that failed on me that wasn’t made by Seagate. I have 20+ year old WD IDE drives that still work fine to this day.

I’ve been a Linux user for over a decade. Do you just not know that Proton and WINE exist? They work extremely well nowadays. It’s not like it was 10 years ago before DXVK released.

Spying on their citizens and bureaucracy?

Counterexample (albeit just one example), the new Indiana Jones game that requires RT is insanely well optimized, and will even run on the Steam Deck.

The ARM SoC work is likely for a VR headset to rival the Meta Quest line. Valve isn’t going to build a console-like PC without an x86 processor in it any time soon until x86 emulators like FEX and Box86 become more advanced and faster.

Yes, but that doesn’t set a legal precident for future emulator development.

Unfortunately, they miscalculated and thought that single threaded performance (specifically higher clock speeds) would continue to advance at the same pace as it has been before the release of Crysis, but what ended up happening instead is more focus on multithreading by releasing CPUs with more cores with smaller IPC improvements comparitively.

IPC improvements were obviously still a thing, but it took a while for hardware to be able to run Crysis maxed out at good framerates.

Ryujinx did none of that, which is why instead of taking it down, Nintendo just paid off the main developer to take it down.

Yuzu generated keys programatically, which was the issue, and Nintendo took that down directly.

So according to Nintendo’s actions, they think Ryujinx was perfectly legal.

Chrono Trigger (Probably the best JRPG ever made, or even the best game ever made)

Terranigma (Very philisophical action RPG that also happens to be a lot of fun)

Silent Hill (The vibes alone make this one, but it also has a great story)

DOOM (This one should be obvious)

Majora’s Mask (An emotional powerhouse of a game)

Tetris

Also pick any mainline console Mario game that came out between 1985 and 1996 (not including The Lost Levels, but including US SMB 2)

Super Mario Land 2

Pokemon 2nd gen

All GOAT, but all for different reasons.

Where is the setting? I don’t have a Samsung.

Even with the new BattleEye anti-cheat update?

This guy made some of the best video game music of all time. I hope he has a long, healthy retirement.

Hard to replicate the typing experience on the Deck when the hardware doesn’t have dual trackpads.

If rpcs3 uses a dynarec, then one would have to specifically be made for RISC-V. The interpreter can probably already run right now.

And MGS IV

Also RDR is playable on Switch emulators nowadays.

A lot of TVs are requiring an account login before being able to use it.

Can confirm the remake works great with Proton

You say that, but not all art is made solely for money. Just take a look at the indie scene (games, music, film, TV, etc) as an example.

ZSNES was also how I got into emulation for the first time. Ended up using SNES9x more, though.

Emulation is magical. It’s how I discovered most of these games.

The best thing about this reply is that literally none of those games are on my list, since I haven’t played any of them (except for a Flash clone of Worms as a kid). That just goes to show the sheer amount of quality gaming that there was.

My list is moreso comprised of console games. In no particular order, and includes some later indie games:

• Chrono Trigger (GOAT, ranked number 1 above all the rest of these. Fantastic story, gameplay, music, pacing, etc. I haven’t played any other game as polished as this one)
• Terranigma (A surprisingly deep and philosophical game for the time, even compared to other great JRPGs of the same era, or of any era)
• Yoshi’s Island (just raw fun)
• Super Mario 64 (also just raw fun)
• Majora’s Mask (Surprisingly deep and emotional for a Zelda game)
• Silent Hill 1, 2, and 3 (2 in particular opened my eyes to actually being able to feel emotions for the first time)
• Super Meat Boy (Addiction: the video game)
• The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth (Crack: the video game)
• OMORI (another fantastic and emotional game, almost on the level of Silent Hill 2, but replay value isn’t very high IMO)
• A Link to the Past (Just raw fun, but in Zelda form)
• Guitar Hero 1, 2, and 3 (I was especially involved in the customs scene back then)
• Final Fantasy VI (A fantastic story in general)
• Super Smash Bros (the series as a whole)

Yeah, but the stories aren’t really connected; they’re all standalone games.

The 90s era of gaming, extending to the early 2000s. SNES, Genesis, PC Engine, N64, PS1, PS2, GameCube.

It was the era before the Internet and video gaming became extremely linked. The sheer number of classics that still hold up today, even compared to modern games, are very numerous.

If you haven’t played Terranigma, you should do that. It’s on the level of Chrono Trigger in how good it is.

It was never released in North America, so get the PAL ROM along with the NTSC (60Hz) patch from RHDN

Both Discord and Messenger have shit privacy practices. I’d try out Matrix or Conversations (XMPP). Niether require a phone number to work.

If you don’t mind using a phone number for registration, I’d recommend Signal.

Signal is probably going to be the simplest to use, but the other two are also pretty easy to get up and running relatively speaking.

Wonder how much it cost to make Candy Crush. The profit margins must be rediculous on something that isn’t even an original concept and is filled with ads.

Has King even made anything other than Candy Crush? Seems like they’re just a shitty mobile game company.

It’s a false equivilence

Women are not property, nor are they software

The forced arbitration EULA, ads on the homescreen, and prevention of installing your own apps didn’t already convince you?

If they want to gain back support, they could open source the engine.

Goddamn. I’ll have to try it out. The story is by far the most important part of any JRPG for me, though.

OMORI is incredible. The gameplay is okay (typical JRPG stuff), the music is okay (I’ve heard better in other games), but the storytelling is some of the best in all of video games, up there with Silent Hill 2 and 3.

The Binding of Isaac is an incredibly addicting game. It’s basically rougelike 2D Zelda dungeons, and upgrades stack on top of each other. It’s the game that I have the most hours in on Steam (specifically the much better-programmed remake, Rebirth). The DLC is great as well, adding a ton of content. Its replayability is damn near unmatched.

Super Meat Boy is just a really fun, fast paced 2D platformer, that is challenging, but fair. The controls are some of the best of any 2D platformer out there, beating out both Super Mario World and Yoshi’s Island IMO.

Tied with Chrono Trigger? That’s some insanely high praise. Why do you say that, exactly? I’ve never played Chained Echoes, so just curious. Chrono Trigger is my favorite game of all time.

I only played the first one, and it just dodn’t have as much of an impact on me as I was hoping for. OMORI on the other hand…

FF6 is a SNES game

Why do they dynamically link libs instead of static linking, or better yet, distributing an AppImage?

You got rid of imposter syndrome? Like, for everyone?

I’m 70% sure that Sony just ported their drivers almost directly from Orbis (the PS4/5 OS) since Orbis is based on FreeBSD, which is POSIX-compliant. Windows is not POSIX-compliant, so they’d need to do more work porting it over.

Probably. Sony provided upstream Linux with drivers for their controllers, and have been for a while now. The controllers arguably work better on Linux than they do on Windows without third party software/drivers.
