DuckStation Creator Considers Shutting Down Emulator Amid License Change

  • Libretro folks are going to take the code of any maintained emulators anyways, so people don't really need to port it. Also didn't follow any news from Libretro's side, but considering Libretro's founder's past interactions in license changes of emulators the project benefited from, I can't help but wonder if he/she threw a hissing fit at the Duckstation folks as well.

    Create Games for Dreamcast & PS1 with Retro Game Designer | Kickstarter

  • Agreed with Magician and RmDebArc, and besides that, it could also be for the challenge, for the enjoyment, or because the vision of the dev only works in such a platform. And with emulators that allow commercial use around, the developer can also publish his games to modern platforms without having to rebuild the whole game.

    Android apps are blocking sideloading and forcing Google Play versions instead

  • If an Android program¹ is available elsewhere DRM free, open source, FOSS, etc., go for that instead, even before confirming the presence of this new DRM / social engineering tool in the given program. And if the program itself is not available, look for alternatives. And to make researches a little easier, some APK resources from the top of my head besides F-Droid and Github are Humble Bundle, Itchio, Patreon and potentially any Github alternative.

    ¹ "app" should never have replaced the name already adopted for no good reason

    About your idea, some official materials, like game manuals, can be a good source of immersion too. Up to around mid-2000's, I can remember them being pretty good, and even some sites and publishers that distribute such older games include such materials too.

    Should I buy fallout 4 goty from GOG?

  • As much as GOG/CD Projekt have more than their fair share of problems, usually their versions of games work, can be preserved, don't require as much bloat, launchers included, and usually don't require 3rd party validation. And like others said, besides Wine and related, and installing through Steam as external games, you can also install stuff very easily through Heroic and the sort. So I'd say it's the better option indeed.

    Meta: title format?

    Rules say that the title format is to be followed, but there are no indications of what it is, at least not here on the fediverse. If this is a sister community of the subreddit with the same name, perhaps the rules were copied over from there but without adapting to how things are over here?

    Remember that music trend of DJs taking over popular music from 10 years ago?

  • "Dumbfication" of songs is part of the reason I started listening a lot to rock. Quite a few rock bands seem to at least try to make something thoughtful.

    But also been finding some musics outside of this niche too. Like, after some 10 years, I found again a music I quite enjoyed back then, Stromae's "House'Llelujah". I don't speak French so figuring the lyrics out is hard, but for this "DJ" type of music, besides the rhythm, it also appears to have a more thought out lyrics.
