There's quite a few good places to download ROMs from:

Vimm's Lair have a lot of games, but downloads are slow.

The GitHub hosted page from r/roms megathread is great and have a lot of stuff with direct downloads, it is the most complete and has basically anything you might want.

Archive.org page of ROMs verified to work with RetroAchievements. (If you're lost and don't know how to access or download the ROMs, just click the show all button on the right. You'll probably need an account to download anything tho).

NoPayStation for PSP, PSVITA and PS3 games, updates and DLC. It downloads content directly from Sony's CDN.

WiiUDownloader for Wii U games, updates and DLC. It downloads content directly from Nintendo's CDN.

NXBrew for Switch games. I'm not a big fan of this one, but it's the best one I found. I just suggest you use uBlock Origin and ViolentMonkey with this script if you want to use this one.

I think that's basically it. I have been downloading a bunch of ROMs lately, so that's basically all I have gathered so far.

Now for storage, it only really becomes a problem with PS3, Xbox 360 and Switch games since there are a lot of really big games there. And the worst part if that you can't really compress these games right now, so, big storage is the only solution.

For other systems, you can usually compress .cue and .iso files into .chd files and most emulators will work with it. If you do a little research you'll find more about this.

Gamecube and Wii games can be compressed into .rvz files inside the Dolphin emulator.

And there's also DS and 3DS games where you can't compress, but you can trim the ROMs since it usually contain a lot of garbage data that is useless to running the game, just don't use it on ROM Hacks, because it might make them stop working.

They also tried really hard to eliminate their black population, to the point you don't even hear anything about them.

There's also the fact that Argentina is extremely racist and have a pretty clear case of thinking they are European complex.

Yeah, AOT is VERY fascist.

There's a character that is a depiction of a Japanese war criminal iirc and he's one of the "good" guys, which is also the entirety of the military too. It also makes the viewer root for the military coup and the only answer for every big problem presented is literal genocide.

There's also zero leftist movements present in this world, like not even a protest asking for the basic stuff the people on the outer walls and on the underground don't have while the inner walls have everything.

And to top it off a lot of fans were openly spewing the same genocidal fascist rethoric the story promotes for years while using an Eren or Floch pfp. It's genuinely insane to me how this happened.

Elongated Muskrat strikes again lmao. I didn't know we were the 3rd largest group of Twitter users tho, I always thought we Brazilians were a lot smaller on there because Twitter is one of the least used platforms here.

It's cool seeing a lot of Brazilians, specially artists, migrating to Bluesky, at least there are good tools to deal with bullshit and bigotry there, I have yet to see something awful on that site.

Yeah yeah, continue to spout your anti-communist propaganda. You already live in a dictatorship, you're just to propagandized to realize it.

The only dictatorship we want is that of the proletariat, as opposed to the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie. That is, a true popular democracy.

Maybe listen to what other people have to say and go read communist theory before saying anything you don't know about.

As it stands your position is not left in any stretch of the imagination.

LMAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Kkkrakkkrers really are a bunch of snowflakes eh.

And the best thing is you discriminating someone for being poor, body shaming and victim blaming, all while also mentioning and somewhat defending 4chan out of nowhere.

You're the classic lib that don't understand 10% of what you talk about, but is so sure of yourself that you feel the need to show how superior (stupid) you really are.

Oh it's 100% the brain worms they got from all the propaganda.

You can clearly see this when some post on r/gaming or r/pcmasterrace involves China and/or Tencent in any way. There's always blatant sinophobia, propaganda and racism mixed in there.

The weird thing is, that sentiment made it's way here in Brazil too. I don't really remember much since it was 10+ years ago, but I do recall anti-Baidu stuff on the internet, mostly calling it a computer virus and such and even about Tencent much more recently, although not a lot of stuff.

I also have seen gringos making some valid criticism about predatory monetization by Tencent, but it is usually followed with "China bad".

Funny how your response to claims of a war perpetuated by the US that took the life of millions is to call us "stans" and point that we are the ones with the wild takes uh.

Either engage in good faith and at least try to understand what is being talked about or get your liberal lemm.ee ass out of here.

You're almost there. The problem is not that power corrupts, by this logic there's nothing you can do and every country is doomed. The issue is not individual, but collective.

The problem is that the whole structure of the system is made for the interests of the wealthy that detain all the power and not for the hard working majority of people. Lobbying is the perfect example of that.

And it's not about good or bad, but simply colliding antagonic class interests where the class that holds the power always wins.

It's easy to get doomerish and think that people or power is the problem, that's precisely the position the ruling class wants you to take because it keeps then safe and keeps us under their capitalistic boots.

I invite you to read Marx. Once you understand the systemic root cause of the issues we see everyday, it's truly freeing. I suggest the Communist Manifesto since it is really short and can get you the general grasp, just be aware that it's language is very dated.

I was gonna post about this shit either here or on lemmygrad's c/games, so I'm glad someone already did, and holy fuck this game is just a nazi dog whistle, and every gaming journalist outlet is reporting on it without mentioning any of this shit.

Searching around, this is all I found: it's about "exterminating rats with gas", has 88 in the title, the title is 14 keystrokes long, the word Infestation have a Scrabble score of 14 (this one might be a huge reach, but it would make the title be a code for 14 88), there's a sign in the trailer that shows the letters "TG-44 SST", there is a German assault rifle the nazis used in WW2 called STG-44 which is only a single letter of difference, the team claims to be in the industry making horror games since 2010, specifically 14 years of experience, while also not having launched any other games.

I doubt it's gonna make a difference but I reported this nazi propaganda crap on Steam. What a fucking way to start 2024 eh.

Edit: also saw some screenshots on twitter of some proud neonazis on their discord server.

Edit 2: the devs got caught and are now backtracking, I don't buy their excuses, specially when they didn't straight up denounce the nazis on their discord, just said it is against the hate speech rule.

Edit 3: There are actual nazis on the steam forum of this game, even called me a brazilian brown rat (I'm not even brown, but to these people there's no difference whatsover), here's the link: https://steamcommunity.com/app/2635640/discussions/0/4036979713109744030/

Edit 4: Thread got nuked, here's a link to imgur with screenshots of the whole thread: https://imgur.com/a/iKNv9RV

Lula isn't doing that great in his 3rd presidency. We are seeing the privatization of prisons, a zero déficit policy and a continuation of a cap on government spending that is fucked up and that he promised to get rid of, but didn't. There's talks of his party, PT, allying with PL (Bolsonaro's party) on some stuff, tho I haven't looked into it to much. And there's a real possibility of the military police becoming basically untouchable and having more power and autonomy than they did during the military dictatorship.

There's other stuff happening that is not related to him, but that is extremely important, like the recent illegal privatization of water in the state of São Paulo by it's facist governor that ended in comrades that were peacefully protesting being beaten and arrested.

Of course there is good too like the economic growth and the recent abolishment (don't know if it is the right word to use) of debt for the people that were housed by the government, but we are seeing the limits of social democracy right now.

This shit is both depressing and enraging. If only the Lula that spoke in the UN was the same Lula that is governing this country.

Don't put too much faith into social democracies just because it's on the global south, comrades.

Oh just fuck off you transphobic, ableist piece of shit.

You come here saying the most ignorant, insensitive crap and then try to demand people to answer you?

And stop with the LGB bullshit. Will it take you imbeciles having your skulls literally crushed by fascists to realize that siding with this alt-right rethoric is the wrong fucking thing to do?
