Oh yeah, RAWG is just a game recommendation platform but it's great because it's completely community managed, meaning that if there are games missing or games that have missing/incorrect information, you can add/change it yourself. It's also not limited to just one system or app store, in fact, the very first game I ever reviewed on RAWG was Super Mario 64.

Also, for some reason your comment reminded me that I'm aware of Moby Games, which is just a game database that's somewhat similar to but quite different from GameFAQs, you'll understand if you use it. But I've added it to my website and, based on how I've been scoring these websites, it has a 14/15 score. I can't believe I forgot about Moby Games since it's such a solid platform for finding games to play and I've had an account there for several years now. Obviously, RAWG is still better overall but Moby Games will be better for when I'm trying to find retro games to play, since RAWG mostly just recommends me newer games and I sometimes like to play older games.

Artix Entertainment has their own game launcher. Not all of the games are exclusive to it though, as Adventure Quest 3D links to the steam version. Surprisingly, the original Adventure Quest (and by extension WarpForce) still receives updates.

Also yeah, RAWG has been down for a few days now. There is a possibility that it may shut down soon. From what I understand, it's been almost completely abandoned by it's owners for years now, which is unfortunate because it is a great platform.

I mentioned it at the top of the page, if you hover your mouse over them (only works on PC from what I remember) you'll get an explanation for that tile. I should probably make that clearer since I did kind of bury that in the paragraph at the top of the page.

I've done it. I've create my website and finished creating the page dedicated to game and app stores. It took longer than I was expecting but it's in a good enough shape that I can fix any issues with it and add some more stuff to it tomorrow. I've also changed how I rated every app store, GOG is now 13/15 and Steam is 12.5/15. Here's the link to the home page. I'm going to bed now.

I guess your right, I might relearn HTML so I can open another website through neocities. I used to maintain a website under a different name there but I deleted it, thinking that I wouldn't use it again. I would just post it to Odysee (the Youtube alternative) since they have more than just videos but I don't know if they'd allow me to link to websites like Nutaku.

Both GOG and Steam are tied near the top of the list with 9/10 scores.

But I should mention that since the chart was made specifically for my own personal use, it may not be the best for public use (which is why I haven't posted it online anywhere). If I am to have it posted anywhere, I'd want to make some adjustments like giving certain categories more weight and expanding some others, maybe even add more. I probably wont though, as I'm just one person and I know for sure that my own biases will get in the way.

I guess that's cool but Epic Games will still be at the bottom of my list of game/app stores that I use.

For context, I've been using a chart of game/app store with scores based on multiple categories and sorting them into a list to keep track of which ones I should be prioritizing. With on how I currently have them rated, the Epic Games Store will go from a 1/10 to a 4/10, which means that it's still at the bottom of my list.

I'm not sure what pokemon I'd be using (probably dark/psychic) but I know I'd want the gym itself to have an optical illusion theme. It would have a lot of fake walls and floors, floors that look like bottomless pits, and all of it would be encompassed in a series of rooms designed to make you feel like your walking through a maze like MC Escher painting.

There's a few ways that I've been able to discover new music. Currently, it's mainly through YouTube recommendations and I sometimes use Pandora. I also used to use Tastedive but I just haven't gotten around to actually using again mainly because I have to basically redo my entire account.

On a side note, I actually tried logging into my Tastedive account and I can't for some reason. I sent them a message through their contact page but I'll have to wait for them to respond.

I'm still not getting anywhere with the games I'm trying to play. None of them are listed, even for other devices, and I still can't get any games working properly in GameNative regardless of whether I use the some of the configurations mentioned for other games on my device or the same settings I use in Winlator.

Also, that website seems pretty cool though. I'm not sure how much I'd be able to add because I'm limited to just Winlator for PC games on android until I can get a game working properly in either GameNative or GameHub but does EmuReady allow adult/NSFW games? I didn't see any adult/NSFW games listed but I'm also not seeing anything about them either. Also, do they allow adding other emulators? There are several emulators and emulator-adjacent apps I'm aware of but aren't listed.

I don't know about that. I've tried multiple games with it and none of them are working. I can get them working in Winlator, which GameNative is based on, but not GameNative itself. It's possible that I could be using it wrong even though I'm using the same settings in both apps but I wouldn't know because there's no documentation for either of them.

The best I was able to achieve in GameNative was with a game made in a very old version of Ren'Py. I was able to get in game but I wasn't able to actually play it because mouse inputs aren't working and the controller inputs only work on the main menu. I know that the GameNative's virtual mouse should be working because it works perfectly fine for closing error messages, it's just not working in game for some reason.

It's actually quite a shame that I can't get GameNative working because it does have more options available than Winlator. This means that if I could get it working, then there might be some games that would better in GameNative than Winlator.

This doesn't apply to a specific franchise, but I sometimes think about how fun it would be for game franchises with a lot of characters to have games designed around replaying them with the different characters. Some examples would be:

A game with every Final Fantasy character that plays like Vampire Survivors. Each character would have their own sets of equipment and attacks they can obtain.

A game that is basically Sonic and the Black Knight be re-imagined to be more like either Monster Hunter or Kingdom Hearts. Each character could either have their own sets of equipment or have access to most of the equipment but use them differently.

A Touhou game that's some form of an RPG, whether it be turn-based, action, or something similar to FF12. I know that there already are some RPGs featuring these characters but (on top of mostly being adult games for some reason) they all only have a few of the characters and they are very short and the RPG elements are usually quite limited.

Also, not really a specific franchise and it's technically the same genre but I'd like to see more fighting games play like Dissidia Final Fantasy. I want to play more fighting games but Dissidia is the one of the only fighting games that I've ever been good at.

I have secure boot enabled in the bios, if that's what your asking. I pretty much exclusively use Linux with secure boot enabled. The only time I've ever disabled it was to try and get Virtual Box working in Linux Mint but it stops working as soon as I re-enable secure boot, so I don't use Virtual Box.
