  • I like Nintendo games but I won’t buy new hardware to play them.

    So that means om also not in Nintendo’s target market. Which means they loose my business. But, what if they just let me play their games on my hardware? Then I could like… Give them money for those games right? An official emulator would allow for that.

    If I can currently play nintendos newest and best games on my Linux PC using an open source emulator that was legally made without the help of Nintendo or its source code. It would be much simpler for Nintendo to make that emulator than random open source devs without any real resources, documentation, or source code.




  • Totally agree. I think another crazy thing is that Nintendo knows how easy it is to emulate their latest games when developers are doing it without source code legally.

    Like imagine if nintendo just saved the effort and money they otherwise would spend on R&D, manufacturing, shipping, and promotion, litigation on new consoles every so often and just released an official emulator instead. It would be so much better for the environment to let people use their own hardware and they could just focus mostly on making games.

    At minimum, they could do both and have an option to sell games to people that don’t want another device to play media that their current devices already are capable of. And slowly phase out the console.

    As someone that tends to learn most by doing. Most of these comments are excellent my only suggestion is to try it. Most Linux distros come with live images which you dont need to install to test out.

    Just download the ISO and put it on a USB and then boot from the usb. You can even make a multiboot USB with ventoy.

    Or you can use distrosea to demo a distro in a browser.

    I also highly suggest using the arch wiki for research. It will probably go into much more depth than you need at first but it will also not dumb things down or over simplify things for you so you might actually learn. Take this doc on what a DE is for instance, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Desktop_environment






  • Agree, working at a McDonald’s today is not about the “work”. It’s about the pay and the ability to live the lifestyle that job would afford. Which is not something either candidate would ever experience, after todays wages, cost of living, and inflation is factored in.

    However, Harris probably has an idea of what that life would be like and has the ability to empathise. Where as Trump will just use the photo op as a way to get free McDonald’s

    I think one of the two most beneficial things that could be done for America would be to enact a proper living wage that is in line with inflation. Not only would that help the minimum wage workers but it would also increase tax revenue.

    However the best way to increase the tax revenue would be to tax the rich. Either way, Trump would definitely not do either.
