@ipg I tried playing it once, got bored of punching bees for several hours in a row, and immediately uninstalled the game

@radmin @esm @sneexy yeah the flash projector works fine. I'm trying to run games that use shockwave and it just refuses to open

@esm (honestly it makes sense. a good majority of old browser plugins never had a linux version for very obvious reasons)

@esm not really, official advice is "use a VM (recommended) or try to use it with WINE" https://flashpointarchive.org/datahub/Linux_Support

I cut my teeth playing video games on whatever I could get my hands on before I had a console. I was playing the hell out of flash games on miniclip and jinja ninja on the dish network box

anyway I'm not installing windows again for this but I finally found the game that I played as a kid and then forgot about for like 18 years https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvIa1dm76is

@sterophonick also they end up fixing obscure bargain-bin games so many times that their posts are filled with phrases like "the all-time classic game The Smurfs: Dance Party"

@sterophonick I also particularly like the dolphin emulator devlog for the sheer amount of times where it goes somewhere along the lines of "we're looking into fixing a game. why is it dividing by zero on purpose"

I think that people do care and are friendlier than they may seem, the average person just gets drowned out by the sheer amount of stupid politicians in the media and then they get deluded. it's all yellow journalism

honestly speaking I feel less like "death to america (nation)" and more like "death to america (institution)" because holy hell all of this nation's problems are based on its current system propped up by the wealthy and/or corrupt
