That’s, uh, literally the exact thing I explicitly said I don’t want to do

I don’t want the games all in my library. Retrodeck is one non-steam game addition in your library and then you launch it and all the emulated games are browsed through the retrodeck UI.

Lots of emulated games, mostly. Retrodeck is kinda jank but when you figure it out it’s such a convenient way of using most emulators you’ll need.

That does sound like a good idea, kind of like Reddit’s old multireddit function.

There could be different linux communities on different instances, and to see them all you’d have to subscribe to them and sort by subscribed view. But yeah, in practice most of the time there will emerge one “main” linux community and, if it gets big enough, likely offshoot communities for different philosophies or more specificity.

Gacha mechanics are a plague on video games. Truly dystopian shit. But not all gacha games are that bad. Just most of them. Genshin is basically just breath of the wild but more jank.

They’re communities. And the different servers/sites are instances.

Nah, they’re fascists. Maybe not every republican, but a solid 70% or so of them. And a decent chunk of democrats too.
