How come Israel is allowed to dictate where other people go outside of their nationally recognized borders?

And yet they still charge people for it.

We're getting up there.

It honestly doesn't take much more for the snowball effect to take hold.

Could be interesting to see how proprietary platforms respond to increased adoption. Maybe they'll start removing their ads and surveillance, or even giving their operating systems away altogether (minus the source code, of course.)

Thanks. This is the kind of discussion I was hoping for.

It's not really an issue. Emulator developers should already be doing their work anonymously.

It doesn't need to be a completely new language. It just needs to be a language that most people overall speak rather than, say, most people in a particular region.

Right. I'm looking more towards "big picture" changes, similar to progressing through the different civilization types from the Kardashev scale.

Maybe it's just me. I don't know much about emulation or console hardware, but I find it hard to believe that the architecture of the Switch 2 would be so radically different from the Switch 1 that developers would have a significantly harder time creating an emulator for it. What would be the purpose of making radical changes?

Yuzu had been around for years before it got taken down. I'd like to see a Switch 2 emulator pop up as soon as possible, of course.

Good to have more, but why would we choose this over Torzu?

It's in a great state if you look back and play old games.

I recommend getting comfortable with emulators. Using them isn't immediately straightforward, but with a bit of experience they become easier.

Some games I'd recommend just off the top of my head are:

Star Wars Jedi Power Battles

Lego Star Wars The Complete Saga

Resident Evil 5 & 6

Divinity Original Sin 1 & 2 (1 goes up to 2 players, 2 goes up to 4)

A Way Out

Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons (short, but fun)

Legend of Mana is absolutely spectacular and any gaming duo would be delighted to play it.

Dynasty Warriors is good for some mindless fun, but don't be fooled by how many games they have; they're all pretty much the same thing.

I think Super Mario Wonder is actually 2-player, but I haven't tried it yet. I plan too, though.

Super Mario Bros U goes up to 4 players and you can play with the Cemu, the Wii U emulator.

Cuphead

You're right that couch co-op games are mostly on consoles. Thankfully we can play console games on PC for free.

It’s nice to be able to take a laptop and a few bluetooth controllers with me and be able to set up a portable retro gaming station literally anywhere.

Yep. I'm a much bigger fan of co-op games these days, so I have controllers and emulators at the ready to turn my laptop in a play station.

I guess it’s just up to individual preference.

Bingo.

Fuck israel.

Fuck zionists.

Maybe if they start getting shanked in alleyways, they'll change their tune. Trying to use a system they built to fix problems they made isn't working.
