Did you let it run for a bit and configure your browser? Mental Outlaw has a good setup video.

If it's an issue with being unable to install i2p in the first place that's a separate matter

That's what I meant by the second part. A lot of people just don't like the idea of collecting or Funko pops

I'd recommend people check romhacking.net and see what hacks exist for some of their favorite games.

Itch.io also has a lot of new games designed for retro consoles. Micro Mages is probably my favorite for the NES.

I think bobble heads can be kind of neat especially for niche communities but the pure volume of them combined with the artificial scarcity is off putting.

I'm also not a fan of their appearance but I think that's a separate more subjective issue.

Kbin? If it's federated they are all going to have a bit of the same content it really just depends on what the focus is.

I don't think it's an unpopular opinion. It seems like a lot of people have given up on collecting them over the past couple years.

The people who never collected them to begin with probably have one or two reasons.

Probably the PS3. It has a fantastic large library of games and is potentially backwards compatible with the PS2 and is quite easy to mod.

The PS Vita would probably be a second because it's a great emulation handheld with plenty of source ports. I'm just not a fan of a majority of the official games that were released on it.

But meanwhile Debian beckons. It's so tempting to just go back to the safest, stablest distro with all the packages and all the documentation.

Have you considered Fedora Linux? I've used it on desktop computers in the past due to it's stability. Even over upgrades it's still going strong.

Has anybody gone through this and then actually made the decisive move to stick to a distro? What compelled you to finally pick?

The big thing for me was trailing distros in a virtual box or with a spare hard drive. It made it easy to check the availability of packages and trial different desktop environments without committing

There's a bunch of them in the wild

Here is a Kotaku article titled Bootleggers Explain Why There's So Much Video Game Piracy in China. It is from 2013 and I think there has been a size amount of legislation changes but it sounds like the grey market for video games was thriving thanks to console mods.

I could still see it existing today considering you do occasionally see someone selling drives full of pirated games. It might be a more local sneakernet style of system.

Good question though. I love hearing and learning about how piracy works in other countries.

If I recall correctly you don't need to play the series in order to get the story; right?

I've never played it myself. Do you think it's a game that would heavily rely on a manual or guide?

I know some older games with save states and guides can fly by but without them they can quadruple in length

Yeah a lot of the Benadryl memes out there are about dementia.

I feel like a majority of the article is just looking back at what's come out since 2020 and even then it doesn't seem to use the progression we've seen to theorize about new potential devices.

But if a company does take a big risk to push the market forward, we have a responsibility as the buyers to reward that creativity with our support.

Producing a unique device takes a lot of courage and risk of failure. It is an expensive venture that very few are willing to attempt. But this is absolutely something that needs to happen some day.

These two paragraphs from the conclusion seems to sum up the writers thoughts.

Does it say anything specific?

ProtonUp is pretty neat. It's a bit of an easier way to keep Proton-GE up to date

Have you tried opening up the command line and typing in lutris?

By pirating an NFT you mean saving the image? Because the owner of an NFT doesn't always own the copyright or license.

I'd be interested in hearing people's moderately unpopular or neutral opinions on tech and games. A lot of popular opinion-based posts on Reddit seemed to have strong diehard opinions in one direction and people who disagreed were downvoted.

It gets a bit tiring to see. I like seeing discussions with moderate opinions where people acknowledge the good and bad regardless of whether they agree with them. If I'm in a PS3 community trying to get an Xbox 360 controller to work with PS3XPAD or if I'm in a Fallout community and I say I like Fallout 4 more than New Vegas because it felt less baron that should be fine. It's just chatting. The reason I mention tech and games specifically is because I know how slippery of a slope it can be to discuss online.

I hope that kind of makes sense.
