Also, though rarer nowadays, some older games had bonuses if you had the game saves, the sole save format back then, of others (usually previous) games from the franchise. Naruto Ultimate Ninja 5 and Dragon Ball Budokai Tenkaichi 2, for example and if memory doesn't fail me, gave you money if they detected saves from, respectively, Ultimate Ninja 4 and Budokai Tenkaichi, while Persona 3 FES allows you to carry over the compendium of Persona 3 saves and Final Fantasy X can bring over from other saves of the same game items needed to understand the language of a group in the story.

A core is just a fancy name for an emulator, like an "app" or "application" is for "program". And a save state is a full dump of a given program's memory and that can be reloaded later. A game save is, to my knowledge, a checklist for the game to load onto memory.
Save states are good if you can't rely on game saves, like if your device has low battery and you're far from any save spots, if you're in the middle of a very hard section, etc.
Meanwhile, as memory is physically located in a given device, it can be found in a different place if you use another update of the program, another installation, another OS, and perhaps even another hardware. And if a piece of memory isn't where the program expects it to, the program won't load at best.

Though meant for another matter, as the name implies, Tuyware's "My Game Collection" (link) was pretty good for anything tracking from what I used of it some years ago. From my experience, it was good for its tagging system, the accompanying filters system, and the ability to add custom "platforms". Do mind, however, that some useful functions are paywalled, and they don't offer a single payment version, only a MTX-based payment to unlock those functions.

Short version is that Blizzard’s removal of Warcraft I & II is the first case to be in the scope of GOG's (re)commitment to game preservation since GOG published that commitment.

Would run and gun games count? If so, I strongly recommend the Neo Geo Metal Slug games. They're all sold emulated on PC (GOG for the no launcher requirement).

And on a more usual sense of "shooter games", Saints Row The Third (GOG and Humble Bundle) and UNLOVED (original version is a mod of Doom II afaik). And just a note, Saints Rows The Third, from some tests I did a while back, seems to have a memory leak issue in character customization screens when running under default Wine.

Going by the "moderates" section in the OP's profile in his original instance, it seems to be https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/addons4kodi

Maybe in some cases, it helps to use Alt F10, or, since I'm using Mint and it may change in other systems, maybe the equivalent for yours?

And if the user uses Mbin instances, he/she can even block posts that link to other domains, as often political posts link to news sites.

And some times, having the initiative to create such more specific communities could be a change factor for the growth of a social media. Also, with federation, not just the person can choose where to create the community on while not making it a walled garden as other sites would still have access to it, but also if a community for the given subject already exists but the user thinks he can do better, he/she can more easily do it with how expansive the "fediverse" is.

Growth is a process, not an immediate switch. Every social media started small and then grew. If immediatism, or however it is called, was the predominant factor for any struggle to become an achievement, nothing would be achieved.

And on lack of contents, I, for one, block everything that is not of my interest, quite a lot to be honest, specially with certain niches spamming the federated platforms, but even then, I get a feeling I should trim even some of the communities/magazines I follow/subscribe to as I can barely catch up to those already.

Instead of "good guys", feels more like "drunk guys". They removed the games from everywhere, and even the moderators from GOG's forum, despite usually trying to be as silent as possible for any matters (specially thorny ones), seemed at loss when that happened. And now, out of the blue, EGS granted permission to use Internet Archive's uploads for the games.
