Oh it’s not a me problem this time? I thought my firewall was somehow blocking it but I just did a download both with and without a VPN on, so I guess it is Google banning shit like usual…

I mean, at least for me, Nintendo had actually interesting hardware that made gameplay different than just “use a controller/keyboard”. This is evident in how much mock hardware exists for the DS/3DS, because emulating those games on a single screen fucking sucks (I played KH 358/2 days on PC emulator and despised it). Even when you emulate Wii and WiiU games, using a mouse can’t feel the same as actually holding a Wii remote. Had Nintendo not cheaped out on the Joycons, we would’ve used them and loved it. And obviously the Steam Deck was inspired by the Switch, as consumers themselves say they like being able to play PC games anywhere.

I just worry that going “Pc only” will remove the chances of having creative hardware that actually makes use of it’s form factor when gaming. And just because PC is more free compared to consoles doesn’t mean it’s perfect or will stay that way. Check this blog someone shared recently.

Nope, I do know that they still make real, non-keycard, cartridge games, althought I didn’t know they have a policy to make all Nintendo-published games available physically. That’s reassuring for now.

But like you said, that doesn’t solve the issue of most 3rd party games being keycard…

Unfortunately Nintendo’s been on the trend of basically being digital too with those shitty keycards that will cease to work if you didn’t download the game before they eventually cut their servers (or if you try to play it for the first time in a place without wifi)

Nevermind the whole “We can brick your device whenever we feel like it”. I’m genuinely upset because Nintendo has so many IPs that I love and literally can’t play anywhere else. Especially the fact that they actually made interesting and unique hardware like the DS and Wii, which can be a pain to emulate rather than just having a jailbroken console. Plus there’s way more steps invloved with Switch emulation compared to old consoles.

I’ve got a huge game backlog, but I was really looking forward to this year and the next after that Switch 2 direct :(

My local mall (debatable honestly, it’s a 15+ min car ride from me, so bike and walk is unthinkable…) literally will kick out anyone under 18 who isn’t attended with someone 21 or older. I’ve seen people saying libraries are kicking out teenagers. Some local areas have put curfews in place because of shootings or fights.

I was just talking with my friends the other day about how going outside sucked because there was no-one to play with (parents and “stranger danger” = almost never let my kids outside), busy big ass roads are impossible to cross in America because some of the pedestrian lights never fucking work (so my friends all talked about having bike rides cut short or reduced to very small areas), and if you don’t have a car/a parent willing to drive you, you don’t get to do shit.

I tried making friends with local neighborhood kids but none of them ever really stuck nor did they go outside much. Small school parks are really only intended for 10 and under, larger parks for teens and adults are usually far away and at busy streets, so now you need a car to get there.

Nedless to say, I just played games by myself and online, because where else was I going to go? I did play a travel sport, but that shit is expensive and not everyone can afford to do that.

I’d be fucking nervous to torrent a game tbh, or at least a game that runs on PC. Like I’m not as concerned about my hacked 3DS getting a virus but, to each their own I guess…

Also I basically only torrent anime/shows and music so far…

Yeah, but the children yearn for collecting fruit 😋

Installing shit on your phone is pretty wack tho, forgor about that. Treating all tanuki as greedy capitalist bastards is rude /j

Infinite time on a loan and no interest means scummy? Damn…

So is Mizi topping Sua 5 times, or is she topping the other (nonexistant) female contestants? I wouldn’t say no to some Mizi/Hyuna content I guess?

This post made me wonder how many girls did they even have in the 50th Anakt Garden…

My mom has been playing JRPGs like Tales of and FF since almost their beginnings, and she strongly feels this way. She constantly complains about newer JRPGs trying too hard to look western or appeal to overtly “manly” gamers, and while she takes it to a degree far more than me, I do agree with her. Especially since I know this article mentions kids were mostly playing Pokemon.

We watched the first hour or two of FF 16, and while I kinda liked the plot, it just looks too gritty and rough (and also the fuck was that softcore sex scene???). I maybe will play it since I’m doing my initial FF series marathon (started with the 3D remake of III), but I just feel meh about the later games.

I played FF XV a year ago and was severely underwhelmed, especially since I didn’t know the game is essentially unfinished without the additional story DLC. The setting took me out of it too, I was expecting a way more fictional and creative world than I got because, well, it is called “Final FANTASY”, but the reality was just. Watch this boyband drive a car for hours and do sidequests until “Oh shit we need to get the blessings of the titans/guardians/whatever!”

Having that as my first FF game was kinda disappointing lol.

Holy shit, so sorry! Thanks for reminding me, once again brain dumb 😅

Me when I literally am one away from optimal cause my brain dumb 😭

My mom and I have been trying to watch it and it’s just. Painful. The entire cast so far sucks and the MC is comically annoying and childish. My jaw dropped when my mom looked up his age and said he was 18, since he looks likes he’s in his mid 20s.

Anyway if I can’t be bothered to like or give a damn about any of the characters, idk if I’ll ever see the “grand”" plot twist.

I deadass thought this was yuri of the P5 Protag and Akechi. But honestly they would act like this anyway.

Yeah, was gonna post about this a few days ago. They literally blur the fucking lyrics:

It’s been like this for about 3 days or so now, so I don’t even know when it refreshes and gives you lyrics again. The lyrics they just pull from other sites and sometimes isn’t even synced right 🙄

I guess I really just need to move to Navidrome now. I have the Arr suite set up and everything…

Edit: And I am already on YT Revanced, so they’re gonna need to drop a patch for that soon I guess. I mean, they try to block the stream all the time anyway so this is just another step

Most normal Omori boss fight:

Curious as to which country this is, because under US they only have individual, student, duo, and family. Methinks this screenshot is satire lol.

So cool! I never even thought about what software VTubers were using to do body tracking, and that does sound a little concerning to have in the hands of companies. Plus it can help indie VTubers start without having to spend as much.

The way it federates with each of its own instances seems pretty bad. They seem to have to follow each other first before you get access to other instances from the one you are on? It’s a defederated network. First one I was told to sign up to by the helpful tool was only federated with two other instances.

OH?! THAT’S why I felt like i never really could find stuff on Peertube. I didn’t realize it doesn’t federate with other instances automatically. Maybe I’ll give it another try with some effort, but it’s certainly no YT replacement… (Not saying it has to be)

I mean, yes, he should’ve picked a less busy period to test Linux out. But trackpad and wifi issues could come up at any time, which would be troublesome. I’ve gone weeks wihout issues, only to turn my laptop on one day and boom, touchpad doesn’t work. And some days I don’t have my mouse with me to use. And the other issue is Linux is so varied and different that a solution for one person might not work for you. That and lack of proper documentation. I have tried doing crazy shit to fix issues, only to then learn all I had to do was toggle a switch in the settings, but my distro didn’t make it obvious that’s what i should do.

(This LITERALLY is what happened with my touchpad, for some reason it disabled itself in settings after an update a while ago.)

People don’t want to spend weekends fixing their tech, and that’s understandable.
