    Hi lad/lass. How's it going? I actually continued to follow, and post in GBA, NDS, and PSP sections. I never left, but I just stopped reading the recent profile posts. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Hey uncle, are you still hanging around here? How's it going? How is your health? The new avatar reflects my renewed interest in meditation and Buddhism. 😇

    I'm doing just fine :D. Can't get rid of this ol' goat just yet. Celebrated my 69th :shy: birthday on the 4th. :)

    Ohh... So, happy birthday, albeit belated! By goat, do you mean "greatest of all time"? Well, long live modesty! 😉 And 69 has a certain, very special meaning: you get the idea... 🤣

    How to put this in a non-:teach:-way?
    A) Closed platform, cannot be indexed by search engines, knowledge stored there cannot be found and preserved → useless for public discussion
    B) Insecure, non-private communication → useless for private chat
    ===
    There is no such thing as a "Discord server". All servers belong to one company. You can set up an IRC server, but not a Discord server. You can open a chat room there they call a server. It is still their infrastructure, their rules.

    So what? As for what I'm discussing there, there's nothing to hide, and nothing to fear.

    "Nothing to hide" is an extremely dangerous misconception responsible for the decline of free civilisation. Is is/was/will be responsible for the end of freedom. But this topic is related to B).
    For public discussion A) applies.

    Pretty good, lad. And you? The whirlwind of life's events, between laughter and tears, is cruelly stripping me of my legitimate right to play... but perhaps, in a few months, things will be better. Thanks for the thought; at least you here, haven't forgotten my precarious and faint existence. 😉

    it has been a while since I have seen you around. Last time, it was RGT, and the two times you've been sadly removed from the site. I don't even remember the reasons, but remembered that the temp was your home regardless. How are things going for you?

    Hi lad. Thanks for the thought. As I've said to others, unfortunately work and family eat up all my time, but I manage to post a few jokes in the PSP and NDS sections every now and then. Lad, time flies: yesterday you were twenty, today you're thirty, and tomorrow you'll be fifty, and you won't even notice. Try to enjoy every moment, especially with your loved ones, and don't dwell on the past. Hugs. 🤗

    Nikokaro Work and family.. At least you're doing your job! Good to know things are at least going well you. I'vev been mostly working on reviews here and there, and all of them have been a blast in the eyes of me. Never have I thought I can acheive a ten thousand words of reviews.

    Hi dear. Not so bad. I've been busy these past few months, both with work and taking care of my poor mother, but next month I'll have more free time. And then my periodic and inexplicable headaches...🤕 And you? How are you? Are you having a good summer?

    Did you get banned from rgt again?
    Nikokaro
    Nikokaro
    Yeah, and this time for no real reason. That Arab mod took any pretext to ban me directly, without any warning. He was eager to get revenge, for some fights we had in the past. To hell with him! With that idiot, the little freedom of expression that still existed is over, alas.

    Hi lads. I just finished "Luminous Arc (undub)": overall nice, simple but engaging story, cute characters, well-calibrated difficulty, very expressive jpn voice acting, as always. I intend to finish the whole trilogy, obviously on my dear pink DS Lite. 😉

    Damnit. That's what I get for lying on the sofa with a tablet without my physical keyboard. It was supposed to be most.

    good job! I played back in the time around 2008, but I may have stopped after 10-15 hours or so. I borrowed it from family. Have you played the second, third episode yet?

    Nikokaro
    Hi pal. Regarding the second game, I got close to the end, if I remember correctly, but then I abandoned it when I discovered that Alicesoft's Rance series had been ported to Android. Since then, I've dedicated myself entirely to MangaGamer's ports of Rance 6, Sengoku Rance, and Rance Quest: for connoisseurs only... 😚

    While I will never truly understand you I have learned a lot by talking to you.

    Thanks. Too kind. The same about you. No one will ever really know a person, not even irl, let alone online. Even more, no one will ever really know themselves, since all the "materials" of the ego comes from outside (language, thoughts, values, habits, etc).
    We are truly ourselves, only when immersed in action, unaware of ourselves. Chaotic thinking, especially brooding, pushed to extreme, is the outlet of madness.

    A mod who can't stand me, took a pretext to ban me. Can you help me? Try asking Waffles or Spikes to check my last warning: it was a joke towards a user, but no offense or fight.

    For those interested in my drama in rgt, after contacting the staff via a new account, I was forgiven for my honesty and good faith. But the disappointment towards some too susceptible users is too much, so I will participate there rarely: I was mostly interested in access to the isos Repo.

    Rarely..... dw i have heard, but I wished that you didn't cause yourself to get yourself banned :(
    KleinesSinchen
    Have to bother you again:
    Some time ago you mentioned posting stuff on GitHub that could only be seen while you are logged in. Effectively a full shadow ban.
    Did you ever resolve this or contact their support? I have no idea if it makes sense to send a ban appeal.

    Try sending other emails, after some time; sooner or later they will answer, I hope.
    KleinesSinchen
    KleinesSinchen
    No chance. Changing mail address demands phone number as well.
    That account is dead since it was created -- should have noticed right away.

    I'll try again without TOR but with VPN. In case another account is born "flagged" without any reason beyond being private... then GitHub is effectively unusable for me.

    I meant that you should try to send other emails (messages to its staff) after a while, not to open a new email. Anyway, they don't answer immediately, but within a few weeks.

    What/who is this figure you have set as new avatar? He looks so strange.

    Keep in mind I know nothing about anime.

    Remember discussion about frozen pizza or vending machine pizza? I found something way worse…

    Have a nice day!

    Hello everyone. Can anyone help me? I tried both the normal and Mali versions of Winlator, but I can't install them on my tablet (a Cortex 53a, 1600Mhz x 8). Instead, I can install them on a SD6 smartphone (but the screen is too small to play). Does anyone know a version compatible with my tablet? Thanks.

    I think you've mentioned this before about a few years ago, it has something to do with your VPN or an email that is a disposable one, and GitHub doesn't like that. You'll need to register using either GMail, Yahoo, or any other email provider (excluding temp/disposable).

    Maybe the issue was on the other end (connection problem) after all.

    A robust VPN to circumvent censorship is a good idea anyway.

    Just don't fall for ads claiming a VPN was some kind of silver bullet against online threats on the one side -- and self-important YouTubers stating it was useless on the other side.
    Shifting trust from ISP to VPN provider can be helpful at times.

    @Nikokaro Opera Android has a builtin vpn and a data saving feature and the later also changes your ip. I also used some browser proxies like croxyproxy on pc

    Please don't scare an old woman like that.
    😬Web proxies.😬

    Proton VPN is a lot better than this.
