Judging by the 15 downvotes on my "Has Nintendo even released a game since that second Zelda game, or are they too busy suing people?" comment, I'm not so sure. I do find this a bit amusing though.
Back to that list though, there's nothing on it that's remotely appealing to me, so I guess I'm a bit biased and dismissive.
I also do not consider ports, and remakes new releases, even if there's a new price tag on them.
I guess I should have put the /s at the end of my post so that everyone wouldn't be so offended. Fuck Nintendo and their lawsuits though, no sarcasm intended there.
Yikes... so that list had 21 titles on it, not 22; and there's a good chunk of them that are remakes. The ones that aren't sound bad - not fun. "Not really" is accurate. 22 is not accurate at all.
Gun violence in the USA increases every year. Buyback programs have been happening for how long, since the 60’s?
Tell me more about how effective they are.
Also, until the manufacturing of firearms is eliminated… yes, there is essentially an unlimited supply.
To further compound the issue; the programs we’ve had in the US are voluntary. In the USA, there are more guns than people and firearms ownership is both engrained into the culture and a part of the constitution. In the hypothetical scenario that firearms manufacture were to be ended, and buy back programs were to become mandatory; which group of people are you going to task with rounding up all of the guns?
It’s a complex problem; maybe you need a pedant to understand some of the complexities.
Buyback programs were a piece of the Australian program; far from the whole thing. Requiring gun licenses and the creation of the firearms registry probably had more to do with it than the buyback programs.
I appreciate it; seeing more than a couple of people recommending protondb. I'll have to investigate it on my next day off from work that's not a weekend. Thank you.
Yea... you're probably right. Maybe it's just the games that I want to play. Those tend to not be Linux compatible (if they're in steam), and for the games that aren't even in Steam, I don't bother trying to make them work in wine or anything like that. Just dual boot and call it a day.
I appreciate the info, and willingness to discuss this. I think you've been able to identify my point of reluctance around all of this now; it feels like work. When I'm done with work, I don't want to do more work in order to get my games to play. Might explain why I bought a PS5 in May too.
Maybe I'll give this some investigation on my next holiday / day off. That way it'll feel only "kinda" like work.
Just thinking about this a bit more now; in the world we live in, and considering the number of guns in the USA... if Mexico allowed for this program to go on for a while the USA could potentially inadvertently bankrupt the Mexican economy in gun-buybacks. It's kinda funny in a scary as fuck way.
