Not even surprised, Zagreb is a beautiful city but the manner in which far right christian nationalism has captured the country is frightening. My croatian is limited but on my last visit there ~2023 the radio was dominated by what i presumed to be american style evangelical sorta nonsense, and as well they have recently made “victory day” a holiday from what i can tell is in commemoration of the horrific pogrom type raids carried out upon croat-serbs during Operation Storm. Would appreciate a non diaspora croatian chiming in to tell me its not that bad but things surely seem bleak there.

It sickens me on a consistent basis that here in the west the Algerian War of Independence is never even mentioned in passing, nevermind any sort of education on it. I can only imagine it is such a huge embarrassment for the colonial empires that they cannot even stand acknowledging it. When I finally learned about Algeria's struggle and perseverance I was appalled to have not been made aware of it earlier, as it is a very real and shining beacon of hope that western hegemony can be defeated

The Saboteur is a super fun game, I feel like i don't hear enough people talk about it

My fav games that havent been mentioned yet and should work for you:

OpenRCT2 (Roller Coaster Tycoon)

Sid Meier's Civilization III (and IV really but especially III)

Quake & Quake 2

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon (and expansions)

Football Manager (only if you're into football/sports ofc)

Without knowing your exact APU I'd wager you can probably emulate lot of great classic games maybe up until Gamecube/PS2. My specific recommendations would be playing Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Zelda: Majora's Mask with the decompiled and rebuilt native C versions, can't remember the name of the project at the moment but it should be easy to find on google. The original N64 versions are also well worth playing but after playing the recompiled windows versions with free camera and other quality of life hacks I'm not sure I could go back.
