For the record, you’ve used en-dash here, not em-dash. These are used mostly for number/date ranges. Em-dash is even longer: — vs – vs -

As a person that has been using en-dash and em-dash for years, this is annoying me as hell that they are used as a telltale sign of AI slop. I’m just a typography nerd, not AI!

That’s a weird way to spell “Super Nintendo”.

Right, I was too vague too. See my other comment please.
I’m sure some people are perfectly okay with the bottom part and would consider it a great justification for the top part. That’s what I meant.
At first I thought I agree with the post and now I’m second-guessing what OP is trying to convey. This is an amazingly ambiguous picture when posted without further commentary.

TheEntity@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•The Steam controller was ahead of its timeEnglish12·3 months agoThat last paragraph is on point. That’s why I have two controllers at my desk, one regular and one Steam Controller! I love playing casual Civilization or XCOM on it and it’s surprisingly great with some FromSoftware games, especially Sekiro (for no reason in particular, it just felt good and the touchpad worked without any issues).

Murphy’s law is more about UI design that shouldn’t allow for mistakes. Finagle’s law is about bad luck and the general perversity of the universe.
I just tried naively installing Diablo II from scratch inside Bottles and sadly I couldn’t get it to work at all this time, at least not without further tinkering but I couldn’t spare more time at this moment. I presume installing it like this and then adding it to Steam to use Proton could work. I know it worked for Warcraft III a few months ago. And then Proton usually handles fullscreen completely seamlessly.
I think so, but at this point I’m not 100% sure.
If you’re running RetroPie on a Raspberry Pi, it won’t work there. Running it on a regular x86_64 PC shouldn’t be a problem. Just install it through Wine (I can recommend managing it with Bottles) and launch it through Wine or Proton.
I had no problems at all when I played it a few years ago.

European here, I just had a particularly nasty shit this afternoon. The auger was my hero.
This really needs some timestamps.
