  • What I like about it is that I don’t need to delve into second hand shopping to get some old classic games.

    I’ve always wanted to get into getting retro games, and I would get different consoles, but as a matter of money and space I’ve found it difficult unless I get into only one system, and I find the evercade as a compromise for getting a variety of collections from different systems.

    Of course, emulating ROMs would give almost the same experience, but the physical releases with their little manual got me.





  • I want to understand your point. What do you mean by “capitalists allow” and “leaving the capitalist in power” in the assumption of socializing an industry?

    Do you refer to the fact that in a direct or indirect way, capitalists influence the governement, so even if something socialized it’s still under capitalist control?

    Or something more like the case of Uber and taxis? Where capitalism can provide unfair competition.

    Those points are what it comes to my mind with what you say, but I feel like I’m missing something about what you mean, and I’m intrigued.





  • Heroic is a client for GOG and Epic Launcher, so if I install a game from there, I use Heroic.

    Lutris is more generic, and has specific script installers per game, so I use Lutris as a fallback if the game is from somewhere else, or the game does not correctly work with Heroic.

    Then, as a third fallback, I try to install the game with Wine directly, then add it a shortcut on Steam to benefit from Proton through Steam. In the above cases (Heroic and Lutris), they would be using their own packaged version of Wine/Proton, so it’s worth to try it before giving up.
