Due to my financial situation I shouldn't be buying any games right now, but this is so tempting to buy anyway.

The YouTube channel Stop Skeletons From Fighting made an entertaining and informative series of videos on the Zeebo and its games. Definitely recommend it.

Pretty much how Bluesky took off at all. It's just the polarization of the platform style reflecting the polarization of society: Twitter/X went right-wing so the (center-)left made their own platform. It's the same thing the right did when Twitter was politically censoring right-wing content before Musk bought it and Trump made Truth Social, the only difference being that Bluesky got the Big Tech and mainstream media blessing. Musk said he would stop that sort of censorship but just reversed it to censor left-wing content. Nobody actually wants a truly free platform, they just want their echo chamber.

Kinda weird of me to be throwing this out there as a longtime Linux user, but TBF XP was quite good too, maybe even better for its time than 7.

When that's the other option, I'd definitely stick with Caleb.

Lutris does most of its updates from within the app itself, so it only really needs packaged releases when there's an update that can't be done from within itself.

It's how the anti-fingerprint features in browsers like LibreWolf and Mullvad are supposed to work: make all copies of the browser appear the same, which means forcing some options in the browser settings, so that nobody sticks out. Brave chooses to do so by randomizing some of your browser fingerprint data, which really doesn't prevent you from standing out, it just means that your fingerprint info the trackers collect isn't going to be accurate.

It would probably also have to run on Red Star OS. It runs well enough on Linux with Proton, but would they have Proton?

Believe it or not, the Catholic Church is far less into the "Satanic Panic" idea that anything that mentions magic and stuff is evil and should be avoided than most Protestant Christian churches, especially the Evangelicals. Pretty much the only thing they consider sinful outright in the media is porn, otherwise you're just advised to avoid stuff that influences you to commit other sins. This includes things like Baldur's Gate 3. If it's not influencing you to sin, it's not a sin to play. Same with Harry Potter and other stuff like that. It's just some extreme folks in the Church, influenced by the Evangelicals, who push the Satanic Panic farther than the Church officially teaches and give the Church a bad name in that regard. Lots of priests are sci-fi/fantasy/gamer nerds, and Tolkien (author of Lord of the Rings) was a faithful practicing Catholic.

The only annoyance I had with the stages in SA2 was that it felt like the Dark story had too many Eggman stages and not enough Shadow stages, or at least the Eggman stages were too long and the Shadow stages were too short, where the Hero story felt more balanced.

Exactly. This has much more to do with pirating games, especially before release, than any emulator crackdown. He's the poster child of every reason Nintendo has used to go after anyone not using legit hardware. And frankly, I think more people than many are comfortable admitting are like this guy: they use emulators primarily for piracy. I'm not 100% totally against emulation, but that's where we need to point companies like Nintendo who are hyper-aggressive with their IPs to the real target: illegal ROM sharing sites and other avenues of game piracy, instead of the emulators. People who are emulating just for backup/preservation of games, as many claim they are (and I don't have a problem with), shouldn't really have an objection to the real pirates going down.

'Yum' could work too.
