If you're playing offline with friends, Emudeck has Ryujinx available. All you'd need is to either dump your cartridge if you can (which I don't know how to do) or get a copy and make sure you got a dock to hook up your deck to the TV. I don't know what kind of port the GameCube controllers use or if they'll work, though. I don't have one, so I couldn't tell you. I know the 3rd party wired pro controller I have works fantastically, though. Only other thing you gotta worry about it having enough ports to plug in to depending on the number of players and dock you got.

As for whether the game will be as smooth on Ryujinx as it is on switch, that's something I don't know considering I've never tried it on my deck.

This is why if you ever go to a protest, always make sure you bring a burner phone, preferably without SIM if it doesn't have an eSIM. If you have an old phone and can do it yourself or afford to have someone else do it, but replace the SSD on your burner with something fresh to ensure even if you wipe the phone they can't get the old data off your old SSD. This is the feds we're talking about, of course they're gonna have access to software that'll allow them to reconstruct the data on a wiped drive as an option. Then all you have to do is to just not store any information you don't want getting out onto your burner, anything that the feds can easily use against you.

Unless you're a major target, I doubt they're gonna search your home for your actual phone or go through your contacts as well.

The best thing about a Steam Deck is the fact that with Emudeck, you can make your deck a much better Switch. The only thing you'll be missing is lack of Internet features and the GUI.

I'm also always happy to try and convince anyone and everyone not to buy from Sintendo and buy hardware that isn't inferior because I swear Sintendo hardware has absolutely been inferior compared to the competition since at at least n64.

MPA wouldn't have anywhere near as big of a piracy problem if all the large streaming platforms worked together to create a singular service at a good price that has everything you want. Now it's easier and cheaper than ever to buy a few external and VPN service and download/torrent your favorite shows over paying for over 5 streaming services (at least in the US) and having nothing to watch because all your favorite shows got removed half way through you watching the first season (and only season if it's a new series).

That, and there are a few shows I have to watch through piracy because they aren't even available anywhere in America.

I don't care what quality the things I'm downloading are so long as the file size is small enough. There are very few acceptions to that rule. Biggest one is if someone tried to edit shows using AI to enhance them by upping the resolution. Had one series I was so looking forward to watching after a long time torrenting that I had to delete because you could easily tell an AI (or someone who doesn't have a clue what they're doing) tried enhancing the resolution and made it unwatchable for me.

Edit: Damn, reread and I wish I could get 5mbps in the apartment complex I'm in! I'd be lucky if my download speeds spiked to 1mbps. All this with what is supposed to be the best ISP in the area, which is also an absolutely shitty company (xfinity).

That's a theory I can actually agree with. Sounds plausible enough to be true, given what we know about large corpos.

I know I've seen that on 1337x and was absolutely disappointed. Don't remember what I was looking for, but definitely a shame.

I'm a firm believer that regardless of operating system that a warning message saying that installing something could cause harm to your device definitely makes people think twice about installation if they're not tech savvy (AKA know more than the bare minimum anymore). It's definitely intentional that the large companies responsible scare you away from doing the things you want because they want you locked into doing things the way they want.

Out of all the games that I know for sure that have a native Linux port, I'm either going with Minetest, which I have been playing for Voxel Libre (once Mineclone2), or the Sonic Robo Blast 2 with the Reveries mod, despite not knowing what exactly it changes. They're the 2 games I know have a native port that I've been playing the most recently.

Don't know whether pizza from a place you can sit down in and eat counts, but there used to be a place called Rocky Rococo's. Best pizza in the whole city, until they disappeared off the map. Now I'd have to go to the other side of the country just for their pizza. For a place I wouldn't consider a restaurant, they had some of the absolute best pizza I've ever had.

But these people can't be good Christians if they don't force their religion onto the impressionable kids! How else do they get new kids to help please the local church overlords with their sexual desires?
