You rang?

…Wait, not me?

Yeah, he’s definitely still around because he recently replied to a comment of mine using one of his alt accounts, and did so in order to confirm that said account was one of his alts. How strange.

Hey, I promote my dinkum commercial enterprises on here all the time! Nobody’s shot me for it.

…Yet.

She’s not even a catgirl. Anubis is a friggin’ jackal or, if you must, at minimum has a dog for a head. She’s a puppergirl.

The gloriously awful Action 52 cartridge for the original Nintendo.

I imagine they’re using the eMMC data bus standard, but it’s pants-on-head moronic to use flash chips for what’s supposed to be permanently nonvolatile storage. Flash media is not storage stable if it’s not powered regularly; ask anybody with an old Windows install USB drive that’s more than a couple of years old and they’ll tell you all about it.

If this is so, that also opens up the inevitability of the data in cartridge games decaying and eventually becoming lost forever. Your cartridges would literally rot on the shelf.

Actually come to think of it, I wouldn’t put it past Nintendo to do that deliberately and be salivating at the very thought.

These are ROM, not flash memory. Unless Nintendo is even more unhinged than we give them credit for.

I think before any technical aspects are considered, you need to figure out what to do with the gibbering hordes of idiotic users who seem to be drawn to these sorts of forums as if by powerful magnetism.

I have been led in desperation many times to a Quora thread in my search results. I have never in many years, not even once, arrived at a Quora thread that actually contained the correct answer to the question being asked at the top. It’s useless cesspit and insofar as I can be bothered to determine it always was.

Since there isn’t a no spoilers rule in this community, is this the part where I get to humblebrag about I whooped Groal the Great on my first try? I saw much wailing and gnashing of teeth about him online.

Just don’t ask me how many times his stupid gauntlet got me before I even saw him, nor how many times I threw myself at the First Sinner last night…

I’m also not convinced that the expense of producing the trays and stuffing the bags in this manner is actually cheaper than the cost of just filling it the rest of the way with product and leaving it at that.

Some C-Suite asshole thinks he’s getting it over on everybody with this and isn’t smart enough to realize that this is a Dick Dastardly Stops To Cheat situation.

Re: Lemmings.

How about Magpies?

Taken as a whole from a historical standpoint this is certainly so, current events notwithstanding. I predict a lot of salty people reading your comment are going to studiously ignore the fact that Europe as it stands now has been shaped pretty much purely by thousands of years worth of wars, which required the invention of all kinds of weapons and warfare tactics. And that’s before the European powers took all that on the road in the colonial era.

I find that not acting like a dillhole is usually an effective strategy, also.

You can do it with the Tesseract web UI. Probably others as well, but the default Lemmy web UI is pretty dinkum and seems to be missing quite a few of the more detailed features. You are correct that this information is indeed exposed by the API.

Now the question is, what are you going to do with this information?

When I was a kid I relied on my bicycle to get around and I was simply too poor to pay anyone to work on it for me. It was all I could do to afford the bike itself in the first place. So with some experimentation and slowly buying (or filching) the tools I learned to do it myself.

I’ve since graduated to motorcycles, but the philosophy is the same.

I’m not broke anymore but that’s not the point. Teaching yourself to be helpless will get you every time. Whenever you say, “I can’t do whatever,” you’ll inevitably prove yourself right. Sometimes you’ll get yourself into a pickle, sure, but more often than not you’ll prevail. And the more you prevail the better you’ll get at it.

That, and nobody legitimate ever asks you to do anything with accounts/passwords/money/banks and ends the message with “warm regards.” Really? That’s right up there with “calvary greetings.”

Obviously some idiot let the car design guys do a little overtime in the generator division.

I was going to post this in the root of the comments but then I saw yours, so I copy-pasted it and attached it in the hopes that we can get a Fuck Nintendo train going.

Yeah, literally nobody in my circle of gamer friends and acquaintances has any interest whatsoever in buying the new Switch. Not a single one. Not even the ones that were previously diehard Nintendo and Zelda fans.

Zero.

Crap like this is really underscoring why. Nintendo has ramped up their already user-hostile behavior far beyond the point of absurdity.

The happy-fluffy-starry-eyed wording in this article taking great pains to point out how “easy” it was for this person to have their fraudulent ban reversed are doing way too much heavy lifting. It never should have happened in the first place, and there shouldn’t even be any mechanism that makes it a remote possibility.

And then there’s this:

Nevertheless, it remains unclear whether they can still play with the used game cartridges they purchased, or if these are considered pirated copies that could result in another console ban if used.

Uh-huh. Miss me with every single molecule of that shit.

Just like in the NES days. Everything old is new again!
