That’s because you’re used to letting other people on forums do your thinking for you.

Not really.

I’m glad companies choose practicality over bandwagoning and memes in this regard.

How the fuck do they get a month off?

It’s really easy (cheap) to manipulate people in rural America.

I hope this guy’s family suffers for all the suffering he’s putting other families through.

The older I get, the more I realize the “wisdom of the crowd” is dictated by useful idiots who don’t want to admit or acknowledge that they’ve been conned.

You could’ve just said “yes.”

Cows need to be pregnant to produce milk, so they’re artificially inseminated throughout most of their lives.

Also, most people can’t properly digest lactose. Only about 30% of the population has the enzyme required, and most of them are concentrated in Europe/North America.

Are you trying to be ignorant?

Stay classy, h-town.

Yes. I have no respect for the people working for these organizations.

They’re part of the problem, and they’re only doing it for a paycheck.

I’m just tired of corporations and useful idiots getting to dictate what I get to see.

News outlets never show source material. It’s always some dipshit telling me what to think.

Hopefully we can see more efforts at generalizing phone OSs so they work on most devices, similar to how we have laptops.

The people coming up with these ideas should be lynched.

The difference is how much money they’re making and how they’re spending it.

For pretty much all creators bitching about not getting paid enough, it’s so they can live lavish lifestyles without having to think about what they spend their money on.

Everything.

Piracy is a tool to help reduce the disparity in wealth.

The only time you should buy something that you could pirate is if you can’t find it and you plan on sharing it with everyone else. I call this “taking one for the team.”

No problem.

The hardest part is getting a controller working. I’m not sure what OS you have, but getting a bluetooth controller working properly on Linux can be hit or miss. If you’re on Windows with a USB controller or one with a dongle, it should be much easier. I’m sorry I can’t give direct advice because it will depend on your setup.

Otherwise, just download emulators for the consoles you want, download the games for free at vimm.net, then you’re off to the races. You may have to change some settings, but it shouldn’t be too difficult if you’re willing to look at them and experiment a bit as needed.

You can download the MEGAsync program and go through the process of syncing the folders that hold game saves to an online backup. It’s pretty intuitive to follow the program. You will need to look up where each emulator holds its save data though, because it’s not really standardized.

To get you started, these are some emulators that I recommend with large libraries and stable support:

-PCSX2 for PS2

-Dolphin for Gamecube

-Torzu for Switch

-mGBA for Gameboy Advance

-Duckstation for PS1

-PPSSPP for PSP

There are of course others for different consoles, and even multiple emulators for the same console. Don’t get too hung up on doing things perfectly the first time. Try to get some experience and you’ll see what works for you and what doesn’t.

Start small and work your way up.

This community is unique in allowing people to post their support of Russia. I’m guessing they have no problem censoring the other side, though.

This is part of why I’m proudly independent these days.

I’m not a developer, but I’m guessing a good start would be to try installing it on an old phone if you have one.
