    Credit card debt

    I buy everything with my credit card, except restaurants where I usually pay cash, for some reason. I set a reminder in my email client to inform me to pay by a certain date every month. I pay in full, not paying any interests. The only time I ever missed a payment, therefore paying interest...

    Inflation strikes again!

    I was joking about the title. Of course, it's much more than just inflation. I just checked and, nope, it's sold and shipped by Amazon itself. And I see that the price has decreased today to $572.66 (about $406 US). The price for an 18TB drive like those mentioned by @console above is $1025...

    Inflation strikes again!

    I was about to order something unrelated on Amazon, and got this message when I reached the cart page. Absolutely disgusting! It's Canadian money, but still. I hope nobody pays these ridiculous prices. And to think that we are heading towards a media-less gaming world in a few years...

    ROM Hack Ocarina of Time 3D gets huge mod to enable single-screen play

    Technically, that would be called a 1ss (single screen). DS stands for Dual Screen, afaik.

    Is the retro game market overpriced?

    That's also what I think. With physical games slowly but surely disappearing from store shelves, the price of retro games is only going in one direction, and that is up. I have a whole bunch of these old games, going back to the 16-bit era, and practically all of them with box and manual. I...

    Which season is your favorite?

    I prefer Autumn, as I finally get some cool temperatures after the (too) hot summer days that I suffered recently. And it's also nice to think that the holidays are just around the corner in december to see the family again.

    Hacking Speculations about Switch 2 hacking

    Developers hate being called lazy, so I'm sure you gave them the proper motivation to hack the Switch 2 now. Expect an announcement in the next few weeks. Thank you for your intervention in that matter.

    A very kind person, no doubts.

    Anyone else living life drug free?

    What were these mistakes, if I may ask? I'm pro equality too. In fact, I see myself as a feminist, even though I'm a man. Strange, I know. :wtf:

    Steam Deck gets a major price bump, more than 40% increase for US buyers

    Sad about the price hikes for the Steam Deck, but most of us won't be affected, as we all got big raises on our paychecks in the past couple of years, right? ... RIGHT !?!?

    "If buying isn't owning, then piracy isn't stealing" is a stupid quote and I'm sick of hearing it

    I pirated a lot of games. I also bought a lot of games, I'd say upwards of $7000 - $9000. Seriously! I bought a lot of Genesis-SNES-PSX-Saturn-PS2-XBOX-GCN-PS3 games, a lot of them brand new. I'm probably underestimating what I spent on all these. Let's just say I don't feel guilty at all...

    Hacking Sigpatches for Atmosphere (Hekate, fss0, fusee & package3)

    I just checked and 887 is the latest version on the Russian website. I didn't test it, though. Looks like the Github page is getting a little behind. Thanks to @VioletRose for posting it.

    Homebrew Atmosphere v1.11.0 released, adds support for Switch firmware 22.0.0

    As Switch games releases will eventually slow to a trickle in the coming years (or months?), the need to update to the newest firmware will also become irrelevant, probably. We're lucky SciresM's retirement came so late in Switch's life. I still appreciate the efforts of the devs for this new...

    Hacking Speculations about Switch 2 hacking

    It all comes down to quality control. I once worked as QC in my workplace, and my job was to detect mistakes made by other people. Of course, that doesn't mean I couldn't make mistakes myself checking for mistakes. Now what if there had been another QC above me who had checked my work to make...

    Lather yourself with Luigi and watch a Luma melt in your bathtub as Nintendo partner with Lush for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie

    I loved Lush in the 90's. It was a great band. I'm surprised they partnered with Nintendo. Oooh, you mean another Lush! :blush:
