    Quiet, you fool! They'll hear you!

    Holy crap. There's more front-page stories today than Nintendo DMCA strikes! Jokes aside, this is neat and another cool tangent for video game preservation.

    The FCC has voted to restore net neutrality, reversing ruling from 2017

    Whoa. Good shit.

    Anyone else think the world inside Conspiracy theorists heads sounds like a lot of fun?

    Cognitive dissonance in American politics/religion is a real thing and it's extremely concerning. Scientology was obviously conceived as a cult, but Evangelicalism and other forms of Westernized Christianity aren't nearly as far off from them as they seem. As someone who was born and raised...

    Hardware New 3ds xl has touchscreen and circle pad issues.

    Software issues don't cause hardware defects. I'm very confident that the issue you have is hardware. There's no software-based issue that would suddenly cause the entire touch screen and circle pad to stop responding.

    US university cancels its own Valedictorian's speech

    Oh, YEAH? Explain THIS, then! In all seriousness, the ulterior motives behind the student's speech being canceled are clear as crystal. That student would have had immense potential to rally/gain support for Palestine (should she have decided to do so). The growing divide between people who...

    Hardware New 3ds xl has touchscreen and circle pad issues.

    I don't know that. I'm more of a software guy. Someone with more technical hardware knowledge might be able to help you out. If the issues only started after the drop, then that's more than likely what caused it. If a chip or board cracks it will usually stop working completely. That's still...

    Hardware New 3ds xl has touchscreen and circle pad issues.

    Yes. Some games use both at the same time, in fact. It's more than likely one common issue causing both the touchscreen and circle pad to not respond--not one causing the other to not respond, if that makes sense.

    Hardware New 3ds xl has touchscreen and circle pad issues.

    I'd wager that dropping the console had something to do with it, based on what you've said. You know the surrounding circumstances better than we would. Purchasing new cables could work if the old ones don't work after being reseated, but it might be an actual chip issue as well which would...

    Hardware New 3ds xl has touchscreen and circle pad issues.

    If you've tried reseating the relevant cables already it's probably toast. From what you've described from previous posts it seems like far more work/time/money to get your console up and running again than it's worth. I'd cut your losses and buy a new one. I would also take care to avoid...

    Suggestion Limiting new users to 1 thread, then a cooldown timer. We also need more staff

    Worth noting that post limits for new users aren't unheard of on other forums as well. It's a fairly standard anti-spam measure. I agree that spam has been unusually rampant lately and it's obvious that it won't go away until something changes on our end.

    Yuzu Anti-Piracy?

    I'd wager not to the extent that Yuzu was. Most people here have pirated games. I'm willing to bet you have too, to some extent. However, game archival for future play is a legitimate reason to support emulation and many people emulate with that in mind and do not pirate. Most people see...

    Yuzu Anti-Piracy?

    In this case it was a do-as-I-say kind of thing--sort of like if a drug cartel labeled and sold cocaine as "salt" so that they could fall on that if they got caught. Neither example actually holds any weight when combated with actual law enforcement pressure. In this case it was exponentially...

    Suggestion Limiting new users to 1 thread, then a cooldown timer. We also need more staff

    I think a full day waiting period would be redundant and overkill. A one thread limit every half an hour until, say, the user reaches Level 2 is more than enough time to catch spambots before they become a nuisance.
