Just learned about it last week here on Kbin, because of the Reddit blackout.
I've been feeding a lot of sources to my RSS programs, and just found out a lot of sites either hide or don't have RSS, so that project was enticing.
So I contributed with 4 sources to help it grow ahahah

And when, for some reason, there isn't an RSS feed given by the website, check RSS-Bridge and see if it has the site you want ;)
(and if it doesn't, if you know PHP, consider contributing with your own bridge)

I love LTT. It's entertaining, and he shows cool stuff. And you can even learn a thing or two.
And I am gonna be even more unpopular than you.
I find Steve from GN to be boring as fuck to watch regularly (though I watch him when I want to see a specific review, like I do with other channels, his content is very good in terms of information), and he resorts to clickbait regularly, even if a different kind of clickbait (that waste of sand thumbnail, if it was LTT, would be criticized forever).
And more, even if you want to buy something instead of watching for entertainment, you shouldn't rely on 1 single review anyway, so pretending GN is the be-all-end-all for tech reviews is ridiculous.

A few weeks ago they did a video about mech keyboards, without the face or clickbait title, and it was performing much worse after 3 days than even the daily video. The difference was in the hundreds of thousands of views.
Even now, it is one of the worst in terms of views from the past month (excluding the last 3 days, which will probably increase in views still) with 1.1M views, against the 2nd lowest which has 1.2M views, but it is a video about Mac gaming, and that isn't a particularly performing topic.

Basically, they want their cake and to eat it too.
I remember a few years they were crying because Facebook was stealing their traffic, people didn't go to the websites to read the news, so they didn't click ads. Facebook was basically stealing their money!!!
The problem is that this view is shortsighted, because with these new laws you talk about, people still don't go to news websites, and in fact get their news from alternative sources (and most of them, not good).
So now they are crying, again, but for the opposite reason.

After failed negotiations with Nagelsmann, the Spanish coach has reportedly chosen the Parisian club to replace Christophe Galtier. The French capital club believe they are not too far away from reaching an agreement with Luis Enrique and there are only a few details to be settled. Luis Enrique's personality could be key to adjusting a divided dressing room that does not seem to have a choral union as a team.

Football Manager 2009
It's the first 3D game and it shows.
After FM2008, my favourite, it was a bit of a disapointment.
Then FM2010 was good, improved on FM11, and FM12 is considered by some people to be the peak of the series.
Coincidentally or not, the last Championship Manager was in 2009/2010, and FIFA Manager's last was 2013/2014, and now Football Manager has been stagnating a bit (or getting worse in some places) because it has no competition in the market anymore.

That list is a bit outdated at points.
It's missing Ares for various emulators, RMX for N64, CEMU for Wii U, Duckstation for PS1 (best emulator for the system), for example.
I usually check Emulation Wiki because they have a lot of info.
They usually have the full list of emulators for each system, and them they tell you if it's recommended to use or not.
It's usually also shown if it's open source and in active development.

Right now?
No, I don't think so.
But Windows is getting worse, and GamePass won't be cheap forever.
Same with them putting the games on Steam, it can change on a whim.
I mean, even on PC, nothing stops them from walking back and just making everything Xbox exclusive in the future again.
They can make changes that make it impossible (or extremely hard) for their games to work on Linux using Proton.
There are many ways they can use these company mergers to fuck the consumer in the future.
Consolidation is always a bad thing, in my opinion, because it takes away choice from the consumer and puts it in the hands of trillion-dollar companies whose sole objective is to make ALL the money all the time, forever.

The identity of the future coach of Paris Saint-Germain remains a mystery. But for several weeks now, it has been no secret that the capital club have been pursuing a number of leads to take over from Christophe Galtier, who will not be retained after a disappointing season on the Parisian bench. Sérgio Conceição is the latest name to be mooted as a possible successor for next season. According to our reports, confirming those of RMC Sport and journalist Abdellah Boulma, contacts between PSG and the Portuguese coach, already in place, have been stepped up in recent hours. This trend coincides with a report in the daily L'Équipe that Julian Nagelsmann, who has been in talks with the Paris club for several weeks, is not the future Paris coach. According to the same reports, Conceição, who is under contract at FC Porto until 2024, has a €18m release clause. Conceição, who has been at the helm of the Dragões since 2017, has been considering leaving the club in recent months, according to reports in the Portuguese press. The Portuguese coach's name had already been mooted last season as a possible successor to Mauricio Pochettino. Represented by Jorge Mendes, an agent very close to the capital club (he manages the interests of Danilo Pereira, Vitinha, Renato Sanches and El Chadaille Bitshiabu in particular), he is also highly regarded by Luis Campos, PSG's football advisor. The Portuguese coach is already familiar with Ligue 1, having managed FC Nantes between 2016 and 2017. Following in the footsteps of Nagelsmann, Xabi Alonso and Luis Enrique, his name has now been added to the list of coaches being mooted to breathe new life into Paris Saint-Germain.

Oh yeah. The reason AAA gaming is so shit right now, full of nickle and dimming everywhere, is because we have allowed it over the years.
It's the same with the internet in general.
We allowed ourselves to get fucked, accepting every little "it's a tiny change, it's for the better" with nothing more than a tiny moan.
We gave these companies our data, our money, and our time, and let them free to control the markets as they see fit.
Why shouldn't they think we are gullible and easy to manipulate into defending their greed?
