I was always fascinated by Newgrounds the most. It had the niche variety and dark humor that I still to this day enjoy.
The golden days of Mario sprite getting high and murdered. Also becoming super saiyan.

I like them not only for the artistic expression they welcome, but also that they're the only ones who give a damn about flash game preservation.

I think stupids (like me) should die since all they do is harm the world
I think you have self-esteem issues.

Five Guys, although expensive, has better tasting food.
Barely even more expensive these days, a combo meal at McDonald's will run you $15 or more. Tons of better options for that same price.

It's fine to be online as long as you arent a pre-teen
I honestly don’t even think teens should be online. Zoomers and Gen A were directly raised online and both generations are completely fucked

Unlimited screen time turn kids into popsicles
Or worse, they are groomed into some bullshit. Politically active teens screaming talking about political issues they don’t understand. Teens who convinced themselves they have some mental disorder that they don’t understand. Not to mention the complete disconnection from reality. It’s fucking awful seeing some mentally unhinged statements and seeing them come from a teen or young adult, all groomed by online losers.

We millennials were fortunate enough to to live in a world without smartphones for a while, but it kind of became obvious this country would be headed downhill after 9/11. Which is to say: GWB set the education policy which had been in effect until 2015, and it shows. That much screen time is bad for developing minds, and it's not just that they consume content, but also the absolute shit quality of content that they consume.

One of those teens would think 9/11 is funny

I probably would too as a teen/kid growing up now, but callous as it may sound, the event itself didn't matter as much as the repercussions/fall out from it. The Patriot Act took away a number of freedoms, as example.

9/11 was the tip of the ice berg, that's when America started to crumble. Not only it affected the economy but it's the way that we forget to think and reflect our actions in response to what happens in our daily lives.

    Yeah, my DSi and all my 3DS systems are CFW.
  • A @ anotherthing:
    "What are you doing with that jailbroken DSi that you can play any commercial game on?" "I'm playing Angband."
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    I never really liked modern DS flashcarts, mostly the clones that have been appearing on AliExpress. They all used the same cheap-ass hardware from over a decade ago. The Ace3DS+ being based on R4iLS hardware from around 2008/09, and the DEMON carts from R4i-SDHC based on the DSTTi (a DSi-compatible DSTT flashcart).

    That's why the EZ Flash Parallel was such a let down.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    There used to be somehow Acekard 2i clones and DSOne clones, but they seem to have disappeared off the site, perhaps old remaining stock that they had lying around.
  • A @ anotherthing:
    Speaking of Angband, why has no one ever made Angband 3D for the 3DS?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @anotherthing, And a let down it was. I was quite fascinated when EZ-Flash announced the product, and wanted to buy it. But was let down by the reviews and the responses from people on here, hence why I avoided it like the plague, as if I really needed another one. I'm fine with what I've currently got atm. :P

    I bought one.

    @anotherthing, How was it? Did it suck per usual?

    It's very not exceptional.

    I was expecting it to do something more than pretty much every other card out there, and it doesn't do anything more.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Understandable. I did try to warn others about this cartridge, but they didn't listen to me or anybody else about the EZ-Flash and bought them anyways, only to realise that they wasted their money.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @anotherthing, It acts kinda the same way as an Ace3DS+ cartridge, because it uses the commonly known Wood kernel as a base.

  • A @ anotherthing:
    I have three EZ Flash Omega/DEs and I really was thinking that the EZ Flash Parallel would work similar to how the Omega worked. Where it recognizes the file extension and loads that file accordingly.

  • A @ anotherthing:
    To play an NES game on the EZ Flash Omega, you just toss it on the SD card and select it from the menu and it loads it in to the NES emulator.

  • A @ anotherthing:
    The EZ Flash Parallel just works like every single other card I have.

    My wife just got a 3DS, and I was hoping that the EZ Flash Parallel was something I wouldn't have to walk her through.

  • A @ anotherthing:
    I can walk her through how to do something like loading an NES game on a $10 cartridge.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    At least she has a console to play games on. :D
  • A @ anotherthing:
    We've been playing Animal Crossing in the morning after I finish chores and before she heads to work.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    I've never played Animal Crossing Wild World for a long time. Probably the best games on the system so far.

    I hadn't played the game in about a year until she started playing it. My first day back involved a lot of weeding.

  • A @ anotherthing:
    Speaking of chores, they need to be started in about six and a half hours, so I need to hit the sack.
