The more concerning part is the bootloader that keeps being made more and more cumbersome to unlock. Not as easy to install one’s system of choice when you need to beg the device maker to allow access to the part of the system required for that. =/

I mean, slap a proper desktop system and plug some bluetooth devices like a controller or a keyboard and mouse, and you got a makeshift laptop / notebook / whatever-the-current-name-is.

Doesn’t help the wheel doesn’t seem to take inputs until the player first jumps on it to get it moving. "<.<

Also, I didn’t get to test it, but with how much the player can actually move the wheel, I wouldn’t find far fetched to think the player can get crushed by the ceiling too.

For finding content creators on alternative services, maybe use Grayjay for Android? It aggregates multiple services into a single, mostly concise UI, and when you do a search, Grayjay can search all services at once. Also recently it added a recommended tab, which should help finding new channels on the go.

Was planning to play Leisure Suit Larry 4 instead. 😬

Whether it’s a rage-click community, a community made for an agenda, or both, I don’t know, but in either cases, I wouldn’t see as surprising for the mods in such a community to be very trigger-happy. Best you can do, I think, is to block communities and individuals with such a profile, and to recommend others to not engaging (remember to explain why if you do it, btw).

At least Sega and Sony mostly dropped their fearmongering/correlation fallacies ship after the Bleem situation, but companies like Nintendo and Irdeto insist on being setbacks to the market. And with devices more and more closing down on what the user can do, despite being glorified computers, a friend of mine would even say that “console modding is an act of self-defense”. Furthermore, if piracy is as rampant as such companies insist on saying, I wonder how much wouldn’t be a “problem of service”, as GabeN once said, and/or if perhaps they’re using correlation to justify limiting what people can do.

I’d have 4 main solutions I can think of, and that can be used together if needed:

• VMs for running Steam and for games that MUST use Steam.
• Emulators, wrappers and source ports for games that allow that, e.g. BSNES for running River Girls Zero, Joiplay / Artemis / EasyRPG / AquariaOSE for games that use compatible engines, etc.
• Having a separated computer you can use 100% offline (requires sideloading games)
• The annoying idea some users give that strays from the original question, but that I think that is valid for once - to get the games from places that openly distribute it DRM free

About “aujourd’hui” specifically, from what I could find and compare a while back, it’s the equivalent of Portuguese “o dia de hoje” and Japanese “本日”, which would be a more formal way of saying “today”.

Alternatively, it could be a way to kill what people look up to by fatigue through fatigue and disappointment through less than ideal re-imaginings.

Mint seems decent all around. No cutting edges nor it’s specialized in any areas, but it’s a jack of all trades, and rather stable.

Short version I wrote for another news piece but that, to my understanding, should apply for this too:

The text is obtuse and the article’s title and cover are pretty clickbaity, so here’s a tl;dr:
In the US, according to the article, it’s possible to lend multiple forms of digital medias and software as you’d do with physical medias. But when requested to extend this understanding to games too, the US Copyright Office denied the change.

Finished it! Found it to be much better than the first game indeed. ^_

I’m playing the PC version of SMCP, and the only difference I can notice, maybe due to the better hardware, is that the game seems to be a bit faster on PC than on PS2. And have yet to test any of the other collections Sega made for/with the Sonic games.

Dunno how much you played of the franchise, but if you got stuck early on (e.g. the dreaded Marble Zone in the punishing first game), maybe you could abuse save states? The franchise got several emulated releases, and I imagine it’s not uncommon for them to allow such a function natively. And at least to me, Sonic 2 plays much better and I remember kid me finding Sonic 3 even sharper.

Was going to ask if you’re a bot due to spamming the exact same post in 55 different communities if I counted it right, but looks like by this comment above you’re not. Still, seeing the exact same post several times through the week is a great way not to promote those games, but to scare or anger people away from them.

Maybe rule 3 could be expanded to forbid low effort posts, or something in those lines?

The team seems rather inconsistent, or perhaps erratic, from my experience some years back. Not glaring issues, but small things that keep building up. In the RetroAchievements case, I can’t help but wonder if they either want to have a walled garden, or if, looking at precedents from other companies, such as Microsoft’s “EEE” strategy (“Embrace, Expand, Extinguish”), if they aren’t trying to kill competition. And for the second point, it reminds me that the owner would throw hissing fits, at least up to some years ago, when projects he’d fork into Retroarch would change licenses, which, along with being an all emulators in one place project, making people draw in in detriment of stand-alone projects, makes me I fear it might be a precedent.
