Completely agree about the Strategy Guide nature of those crash games. Some of the levels you'd have to go all the way to the end, just to run all the way back to the beginning.

In a linear game like crash, often with one way ledges, I wouldn't have even considered going backwards most times.

Nonetheless, Naughty Dog always puts out hits

I'm looking into a game manager and the other project I've seen that looks this polished is RomM. What are the differences between this and RomM?

Edit: GameVault is a Windows/MS Store app...... Guess that makes the choice easy for me

I've started reading the guide on the subject. So now my problem is that I have different zfs datasets separating my library, and I suspect hardlinks won't work across them. So I'll have to rethink how I organize my filesystem.

I would really like to automate my workflow and organize my library, but I like to seed things forever. How do you automatically retrieve metadata to reorganize folders and filenames, while still being able to seed? Is creating a second copy of the files the only way, or is there something I'm missing?

The normal phrase is "Uncle Tom" based on the character from Uncle Tom's Cabin. It's used to describe a black person who sells out other black people. Both Uncle Ruckus and Tom from the Boondocks are based on this idea.

But this is a double burn referencing Clarence Thomas, the supreme court judge who is probably the most famous example of an Uncle Tom.
