Yeah, this screams "extreme otaku" (in the Japanese meaning of the word).

IMO FreeOffice, the free (of charge) version of SoftMaker Office, is a good office suite for people transitioning away from MS Office that has nice clean UI and very good compatibility with MS Office file types, handy for Linux users who absolutely need to work with MS Office files. Not a choice if you stick to open source, though, unfortunately, and overall, LibreOffice still has more features available even if its MS Office compatibility isn't as good.

Their other services such as Calendar and VPN have been making big strides in the past year or two as well. Even just in the past couple months the quality improvement on the VPN has been visible (speed, better reliability on streaming services).

Since I can beat each of the classic Genesis Sonic games in under an hour, they're go-to games for a quick play session every once in a while. I also scratch the itch to play the N64 Zelda games (OoT and Majora's Mask) every few years on whatever console Nintendo's offering them on. The "original" GBA Fire Emblem (FE7, Blazing Blade for those more familiar with the series) also gets a lot of replays from me.

I would agree that the biggest things holding PeerTube back right now are just the lack of interesting content and better search functionality. Unfortunately the content problem would probably only be fixed by PeerTube becoming more popular, but the way it would get more popular is through having more interesting content... Vicious cycle. PeerTube doesn't have the benefit of a lack of alternatives whenever YouTube causes a mass exodus from their site, as Mastodon had with Twitter or Lemmy with Reddit. There are at least a few other YT alternatives such as Rumble and Odysee that already have strong advantages over PeerTube in the content, UI and funding departments, and some have mobile apps as well. Some even have sync features with YT to simultaneously post to YT and their site, a feature I don't believe PeerTube has. It's gonna take a lot of work to compete even with those sites.

Well, no FE4 remake this time. Probably too much to hope for so soon after Engage, even if Engage was just sitting complete on the shelf for 2 years. Just gotta hope for the next one. Still some fun games coming soon though, like Sonic, Batman and Persona 5 Tactica.

Sonic, Mario RPG and Batman have me excited. I'm somehow still a Sonic fan, so I'm in on Superstars. As a Genesis kid growing up, never got the chance to try SMRPG, but I've heard it's one of the many gems of the SNES I could never play back then, so I'll be excited to finally do so. And I loved playing Arkham Asylum and Arkham City, so it'll be fun to go back to them, and then with Arkham Knight, which I never picked up, on top of that, it's gonna be a great deal.

EDIT: Never mind, got it to work.

just running a somewhat-modified HP pre-built. 6-core AMD Ryzen 5 @ 3.8 GHz, I believe, with a Radeon RX 6400 GPU I put in since my power supply doesn't have proper connectors for any GPUs that require more power and pretty much everywhere online says not to use adaptors for that stuff. 16 GB of RAM (upgraded from 12 GB), 500 GB SSD. Haven't tried too many games with it that may actually need anything like the GPU, but what I have thrown at it runs fine.

EDIT: Just checked, my CPU runs at 3.9 GHz, not 3.8

I used the same Ubuntu install since at least 18.04, possibly back to 16.04 (can't quite remember if I upgraded to 18.04 as a fresh install), up until my upgrade to 22.04 from 20.04 failed. I took that opportunity to try a different distro, which eventually led to my current KDE Neon install.

I still have carts of Blazing Blade and Sacred Stones from back in the day and I primarily play those games on those carts with my old DS Lite. I have copies of all the Western released games in the series except the Tellius games because I don't own a GameCube or Wii and the going prices for those games are ridonkulous anyway. Among those, the only ones I haven't at least tried yet are the Fates games. Currently working my way through Echoes and its very different gameplay compared to the rest of the series.

Yep, Blazing Blade was my first as well, and one of them I actually haven't beaten yet. Almost got through one playthrough, pretty easily actually, but then walled by the dragon at the end because I spread the XP around too much and none of the lords were strong enough to take a hit from it. I learned my lesson from then on to build a core team instead and don't hide the lords from the enemies too much to prevent losing, you'll lose in the end anyway.
