  • There’s a few ways that I’ve been able to discover new music. Currently, it’s mainly through YouTube recommendations and I sometimes use Pandora. I also used to use Tastedive but I just haven’t gotten around to actually using again mainly because I have to basically redo my entire account.

    On a side note, I actually tried logging into my Tastedive account and I can’t for some reason. I sent them a message through their contact page but I’ll have to wait for them to respond.




  • I don’t know about that. I’ve tried multiple games with it and none of them are working. I can get them working in Winlator, which GameNative is based on, but not GameNative itself. It’s possible that I could be using it wrong even though I’m using the same settings in both apps but I wouldn’t know because there’s no documentation for either of them.

    The best I was able to achieve in GameNative was with a game made in a very old version of Ren’Py. I was able to get in game but I wasn’t able to actually play it because mouse inputs aren’t working and the controller inputs only work on the main menu. I know that the GameNative’s virtual mouse should be working because it works perfectly fine for closing error messages, it’s just not working in game for some reason.

    It’s actually quite a shame that I can’t get GameNative working because it does have more options available than Winlator. This means that if I could get it working, then there might be some games that would better in GameNative than Winlator.


  • This doesn’t apply to a specific franchise, but I sometimes think about how fun it would be for game franchises with a lot of characters to have games designed around replaying them with the different characters. Some examples would be:

    A game with every Final Fantasy character that plays like Vampire Survivors. Each character would have their own sets of equipment and attacks they can obtain.

    A game that is basically Sonic and the Black Knight be re-imagined to be more like either Monster Hunter or Kingdom Hearts. Each character could either have their own sets of equipment or have access to most of the equipment but use them differently.

    A Touhou game that’s some form of an RPG, whether it be turn-based, action, or something similar to FF12. I know that there already are some RPGs featuring these characters but (on top of mostly being adult games for some reason) they all only have a few of the characters and they are very short and the RPG elements are usually quite limited.

    Also, not really a specific franchise and it’s technically the same genre but I’d like to see more fighting games play like Dissidia Final Fantasy. I want to play more fighting games but Dissidia is the one of the only fighting games that I’ve ever been good at.







  • Here’s the thing, I don’t want Microslop to apologize. Apologies don’t mean shit from major corporations unless actual change happens. It’s appalling just how bad Windows is compared to Linux, despite the fact that Linux is free and Windows is a “premium” OS. There are so many things, both big and small, that Linux does better than Windows. Microslop is currently worth almost 3 trillion dollars, they have no excuse.

    In fact, something that I saw some time ago, was a video of Tiny 11 being booted into with just 184MB of ram. It didn’t run that well, as it was pretty much unusable for multiple reasons, but this proves that Microslop has plenty of room for improvements in Windows to match Linux in terms of performance.



  • In this particular case, I think the use of AI is tolerable. But as someone who uses Lutris sometimes, I do have concerns about whether or not this will cause issues with running games through it. How do we know if the AI generated code is going to make Lutris slow or possibly cause games to not work properly that otherwise would have worked perfectly fine?

    Whenever I’ve tried running games in both Wine by itself and Lutris, I have noticed that they do often run noticeably slower in Lutris. And I also don’t have the best PC to begin with, so this is a big concern of mine.
