Something that I'd like to see is basically something similar to "Anime Plus" but for GameFAQs.

If you are not familiar with Anime Plus, it's essentially a companion app for MyAnimeList. You put your MAL account in and it generates a temporary profile for you that contains several useful features, such as a list of anime/manga that you may have missed and recommendations for other anime/manga.

Seeing this pains me, especially considering Id Software's history with Linux. Prior to being bought by Bethesda, most of Id's games had official native Linux ports. Even Doom 3 had a native Linux port, it doesn't seem to work anymore but there are source ports like Dhewm3 available for it.

Yes but the problem is with Square Enix themselves. For some reason, they have the mindset that the only remake that would sell is FF7. This is the reason why they've been working not just two completely different remakes of the original game but also remakes of the sequels and prequels, along at least one new game that takes place in FF7's universe. A remake of any game prior to FF11 would sell well but they exclusively chose to remake FF7.

They wouldn't even have to go as far as they did the FF7 remake. They could easily remake one of the games in the style of something simpler like either Crisis Core or FF12 and it would probably sell very well, especially if it's decently priced.

I know that Reddit does (at least it did back when I still used it) but I'm not sure about Lemmy. I know that Lemmy does have bot accounts for other purposes, so I guess it's not impossible but I haven't heard of or seen one here.

Mobile gaming. I still kind of hate it but after finding some good games and using emulators, I've grown to except it and I do actively play games on mobile now.

On older android devices, I immediately enable developer mode so I can enable "force GPU rendering". You'd be surprised how much of a difference it can make when games are unoptimized and don't use the GPU to render anything. For some reason, this setting was removed from newer versions of android.

There are currently two main reasons I don't use PeerTube:

  1. Videos have inconsistent playback performance.
  2. It's pretty confusing and difficult to use if you are just looking for an experience similar to YouTube.

If they can find a way to make playback performance consistent and make the entire experience better, then I'd consider using it. But, I already use YouTube alternatives like Odysee and Rumble, so I don't know how much I'd end up actually using PeerTube.
