Am I a bad person for still using that hacked, reverse-engineered version of GTA3/VC (re3/reVC) from some years ago that Rockstar took down because I want to play them natively on Linux (using legally obtained data files that I still have on Steam because I bought them both before Rockstar decided to push their new, "improved" version)? Well, I don't care, I'm doing it anyway.

And gonna be honest, I didn't care much for San Andreas compared to 3 and VC. I don't know why.

Just a note: ZSNES is considered the weakest SNES emulator right now because of its lower accuracy than others. I personally use SNES9x but others like Higan work well also.

I generally use RetroArch cores for most emulation, even for external launchers like ES_DE. Things like MAME, VICE (Commodore 8-bit), and more modern console emulation I'll use the standalone for better usability.

Well, gotta have prime first. Epic's free game is free free.

It'll probably be free on Epic store in less than a year…

why on earth would anyone play a porn game in a public space?

Japan. Less stigma there.

Don't forget about the seemingly thousands of pinball display ROMs in MAME whose only function is to run the display part of a pinball game. MAME's primary function is to document through code every single piece of entertainment-related hardware ever released, and if that result is playable as an actual game, then that's just a fortunate side effect.

Don't forget MAME can play consoles, too. There's not a whole lot that actually work well, but most of the really old stuff works. Stuff proper ROMs into subdirectories with the MAME short name of the console as ZIP files and something like mame nes smb3 works. Or just something like mame nes -cart /path/to/whatever.nes.

MAME is amazing, frightening, horrifying, and a treasure all at the same time.
