  • I don’t know how much of a problem it is nowadays, but I know for a very long time, “westerners” for some reason have a tendency to view anime in a similar way to how racist karens react when they have to walk past an innocent black person while walking at the park. I’ve never understood it but most of the people who don’t like anime, usually act like it’s somehow a threat to society and do everything they can to either slander it or just straight up try to get it banned. It’s insane and until people like this stop existing, anime will never be properly excepted.

    It works pretty well. I don’t currently play any pc games with anti-cheat, so most games work well without having to do anything special outside of running them in Wine or some other application and there are some games that actually work noticeably better on Linux than Windows. Some games have required some additional setup but it’s pretty rare for games to just not work at all. Something I find kind of funny though, is that most of the games I haven’t been able to get working on Linux aren’t working on Windows either.

    I should also mention that I don’t really use mods for games. I have used mods for the Linux version of SRB2 but the game is designed to be easily modable, so it makes sense that the mods would just work.


  • I looked through my bash history and it looks like I needed it to build an Xbox eeprom editor for Xemu. Xemu doesn’t (or at least didn’t, I haven’t used newer versions yet) have a built in eeprom editor and editing the Xbox eeprom is required for enabling both wide screen and higher resolutions for the games that support them natively.

    I just looked at Xemu’s documentation, and it looks like they’ve added a link to an online eeprom editor, so the editor I used (which they do still link to) is no longer required.


  • I’ve only used aliases twice so far. The first was to replace yt-dlp with a newer version because the version that comes pre-installed in Linux Mint is too outdated to download videos from YouTube. The second was because I needed something called “Nuget”. I don’t remember exactly what Nuget is but I think it was a dependency for some application I tried several months ago.

    alias yt-dlp='/home/j/yt-dlp/yt-dlp'
    alias nuget="mono /usr/local/bin/nuget.exe"
    

  • So far, the only thing I know for sure that I would consider using it for is to use JoiPlay to play RPG Maker games that I can’t get working with my normal methods but at least on my current computer/distro, I’m having issues with audio crackling.

    I might find other apps to use later but for the most part, I just kind of keep android apps to android.
