Yes, I can hear you, Clem Fandango!
I’ve only been pirating Nintendo games since the Wii era. When they released the Wii and stopped providing support for the old consoles they were dead to me. Before that I was able to get my NES serviced for $35 at Nintendo of America in Redmond, Washington and that included new parts and my games all getting cleaned.
I did find a 3DS on the side of the freeway once, but I firmware hacked it and loaded up a 128gb SD card with about 60 pirated games.
Yet Nintendo games will still never go on sale and Nintendo will charge more for worse quality controllers than any other company in the business.
I just want to say thanks for reminding me to play The Stanley Parable to get the Go Outside achievement. I beat it by 6 years! I hadn’t played it in 11 years!
Oh no, “criticism!” Unless we do far more than criticizing these fuckers, it’s just business as usual. They need to be ejected from their seats in government.
Arthur knows wazzup.

Because sending people who hate war to go to war is going to work out absolutely swimmingly, I’m sure. You definitely won’t have people constantly going AWOL or refusing orders or, god forbid, organizing as a unit after they’ve been given weapons and training to kill their superior officers and take the base on home soil for their own.
These people are fucking morons asking for the worst possible outcomes.
Because there isn’t a justification, Hakeem, you dimwitted fucking moron.
Democrats like this guy are literally less than useless. With friends like these who needs enemies.
He just wants to get rid of Marco, really.
Goin back to Ritzville
Don’t ask why
It’s a good a place as any to go and die
hi, fuck you too, buddy, from a fellow eastern washington resident who fucking hates it here and doesn’t see much that can be done to fix it.
Let’s be absolutely clear here: The explosion of people being comfortable coming out as some stripe of LGBTQ+ has everything to do with an open internet where youth were not restricted from finding out about information related to how they felt inside. Instead of being made to feel like strangers in their own skin, with a world telling them that people like them didn’t or shouldn’t exist, they instead found community and self-love through internet forums and information which allowed them to pursue full, healthy lives as adults.
This “protect the children” malarkey is one more way for the religious groups who oppose LGBTQ+ culture to “protect the children” by restricting access to this kind of information, reducing their ability to find it in their formative years, in the name of protecting them while actually stunting their personal growth.
It extends beyond sexuality as well, although that is the most obvious since many religions are deeply censorious regarding sex.
It also affects subjects like atheism, as the various religious cultures generally do not want people contemplating the idea that there isn’t a god, especially not while they’re young, they want you long indoctrinated into belief before you can explore different ideas.
Further, when I was a kid in the 80s and 90s, everything I knew about drugs was literally old wives tales meant to scare kids away from drugs, and then the internet came around and suddenly there was a boom of actual, verifiable scientific information about drugs so if you wanted to experiment with drugs, you knew what you were getting into. I once had a conversation with a girlfriend who was a bit older than me about her experiences with LSD as a teen, and she admitted that at the time she really didn’t understand on any scientific level what was happening or what the nature of hallucination was, she just knew she was having fun and seeing crazy shit.
This is a backdoor to restricting access to important information that youth need to have access to for making healthy decisions for themselves sexually, religiously, and in terms of what substances they put in their bodies.
The birth of the internet gave us a beautiful period where people could grow up with access to accurate, verifiable, worthwhile information that helped them navigate and understand the world they were growing up in and who they were within that world.
This kind of legislation intends to snuff out that openness and accessibility which led to increased openness and acceptance of LGBTQ+, atheism, and safe drug use (including the understanding that some illegal drugs like marijuana and LSD are probably safer than legal drugs like alcohol and tobacco).
I wish we could just give Spokane to Idaho, they’d be a better fit over there. Honestly, I’d go as far to say everything East from Ritzville should probably just considered “Western Idaho.”
I guess my point is that this kind of car-centric build-out and culture seems par for the course for more rural, conservative areas.
Don’t slander Megamind like this.
As long as they get to swap it out with the gauntlet hand when appropriate. Boomstick not included but can be bought in the sporting goods section of S-Mart. Groovy.
For sure, but that always gives advanced users the option to ungate it through the registry. The benefit to them of having it be “modular” would to be able to completely restrict even power users from being able to free their OS to use how they actually want to.
Once again, the original article was debunked, so we’re talking hypotheticals here anyway, a modular version isn’t coming.
I mean, I would argue that having to pay for access to different parts of Windows, like say access to PowerShell or access to more advanced features and settings has been part of the way they make money for a long time. That’s why their used to be “Home,” “Pro,” and “Enterprise” versions all with various levels of capability. So while it looks like the original article has been debunked, I would think that offering stripped-down versions of Windows would just serve as a way to push upgrades to more full featured versions the same way they press you to upgrade to Office 365.
More importantly, it looks like PCWorld is retracting the article and has issued a post mortem on how it got published.
AI slop
They definitely didn’t use that terminology though, with how hard they’re pushing back against the “Microslop” term. Thanks for the update, however.
If you have a quality PC, I always promote emulation over hardware, just because modern PC hardware can do things like let you play old games at higher resolutions and framerates.
Also, if you want to use those Wavebirds on PC, you can use receiver for them in something like this:

I like hacking the old systems, but I have more fun hacking them than actually continuing to game on them since using my PC and streaming the games to other screens is just more flexible for my needs.
Dolphin is really solidly built at this point, it’s one of the most well put together emulators there is, imho.
