Requires registration. Also, are there no other instances of it? Also also, what protocol does it use?

 

Preferably with no required registration.

While I have no problems with let's plays, I still feel like they're kinda subjective. No commentary playthroughs are on the opposite end of the spectrum but I feel really really bored watching them and I can't say the same for let's plays.

I have actually heard about that. Haven't tried it but I feel like the controls for it on the phone are gonna be messy. I'll still try it regardless.

I haven't heard of those but I don't think there's any nearby anyway.

Hopefully so, the gaming market in my area has gotten rough. Maybe it'll calm down for the future but that's likely not gonna happen too soon. I'm thinking of passing the time without a PC for now. I don't think I'll able to afford a PC for a few years at best. Sorry for making it sound too dramatic in the post.

Unfortunately, I have a Mali GPU so it's highly unlikely any game will work on my phone. As for retroid pockets, I'll see if there's any in my area.

 

I sold my PC yesterday because of financial struggles and as far as I'm aware, I would probably be unable to buy a PC or console ever again. That said, I still want to somehow experience the games I would otherwise want to play on PC. I'm thinking of watching let's plays but of course, that's not the same as actually playing them. For those in the same boat, what do you do? Do you just let go? Or maybe watch playthroughs? I'm curious.

 

I've seen a lot of memes/jokes related to moths looking for lamps. Why does the community love these memes? What's the point?

Sorry for asking too many questions but is lutris's version of proton different from Steam's proton? Like if a game has, say platinum rank, on protondb, should I expect that game to run on lutris with proton as well?

Thanks, I didn't know that Lutris used proton when necessary. I don't need steam to run lutris's versions of proton, right?

I have two questions: First, can I skip the first step if the game is preinstalled? Second, how do you determine compatibilty? I don't want to spent days downloading/torrenting a game only for it to be completely incompatiable.

 

I don't even know if this is allowed here but frankly, I don't care. I have seen conflicting guides on how to play cracked games. Some say to use lutris/wine, some say to use proton with steam and add the cracked games to steam though that carries a significant risk of a ban. So to all Linux pirates, how do you do this?
