Which category would I be in, who has patience and is doing other things while waiting for IOSU or any possible kernal exploits on 5.5.0?
I'm so glad that the Wii scene wasn't like this (I don't know how it was really, I started using homebrew AFTER 4.3) and I'm glad the 3DS scene isn't like this, but out of all scenes, this shit is sad.
All the people making the exploits are salty about people who want their games free. That is why we have no exploit.
That is just sad. When are people gonna grow up and accept that this is unavoidable.

Because I'm a dirty entitled pirate :^)
Even if piracy is inevitable a free solution is still better than a pay one. If you don't release anything some Chinese profiteers will eventually take the spotlight (remember brickway and DRM dongles?) as long as people demand for piracy. In that case a public CFW that can be abused for piracy is still better than someone making huge profits by allowing people to pirate.
I wish the developers can get that somehow and ignore the dark side of the homebrew scene.
You ask yourself if you're a 5.5.X peasant ? check if some of those symptoms goes for you:
- You're addicted to the Wii U - Hacking & Homebrew section
- It may be the first time you logged to a forum in your life
- Other peasants in this section become familiar, some of them feel like brothers
- You feel enjoyement once you see one of those peasants rulers avatar in a 5.5.X hacking thread : Marionumber1, NWPlayer123, Hykem, Smea...
- For you, any thread without 5.5.X on it is a useless thread
- Sometimes you love hackers, sometimes you hate them...
- You read this reply with a smile on your face

I am quite NOT OK with how Wii U situation at the moment is. Sorry to be blunt and whatever but I will be super happy when Wii U exploit for IOSU or whatever gets finally released, if at all. The current situation is really crappy my browser seems to just randomly get clogged up by something making it crash just from a sniff of an exploit and then I have to make whole voodoo dance and new local profile to get any of the exploits running again, Loadiine is only as good as it can be which means not that great given it's incompatibility with just certain file structures or large amounts of small files and so on. Just running homebrew is hassle alone because of the limitations set in - and running kernel exploit just to use some things, on 3DS I had to do this only for a downgrade and now I have everything there, great load of homebrew staight in my homescreen just click and run.
No, for general users this could be way better.
But do I care about the drama? No, I can take and be OK with any explanation or rationale the developers working currently have. If they end up never releasing anything I am not even pissed, just bummed but it is their stuff and their work, they are entitled to it as much as to a undersea city they built with the sweat of their own brown. But am I Happy with the current situation? No after wasting 3 hours of time doing yet one more voodoo dance around my 2nd Wii U to make any exploits and homebrew work again I was most quite not happy. Only thing I am happy about is I can currently separate this from my main Wii U my purchases etc. exist as my 5.3.2 Wii U is a second Wii U I only use secondarily and that is a privilege I am somewhat glad about, Would not want to know what it is like to have a 5.3.2 even with a spoof as your only Wii U.
Also to touch on piracy:
Eventually PIracy is gonna be a good thing? "How in the fuck what the fuck you talking about" you may yell at me? Well, I am not entirely sure how likely this is to happen on a nintendo platform or a eShop platform like this, or licencing with nintendo and other parties but on PS3, I am glad I have a modded system right now because there indeed is games one cannot buy anymore - but you CAN pirate them. Marvel vs. Capcom, Marvel vs. Capcom 2, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure (capcom) HD, and other such digital only releases are not available today to buy, and have not been for a while after licencing with the IP owners went through and capcom would not/could not renew them anymore. This means that in preservation sense, only (now gray?) illegal methods are there to help you obtain and play these releases. There is none of this on Wii U but there could be.
Other is fan modifications, such as undub modifications, uncencor patches, fan translations etc.
But no, I am not saying this is the most features for game loading will be used, this is most likely, tops 5% of what this potential is, but I feel like it is something to have with better exploits and homebrew abilities.
Piracy is a bitch, but there is rare few times it really isn't, and Wii U emulation will not be playable anytime SOON.
Homebrew is hard business.

Meme Run (it got DMCA'd by the troll face creator). It's playable if you still have it on your Wii U, but if you never bought the 'game' (i don't have better examples) or deleted it off your system then the only way to obtain it is pirate it and play /w loadiine.

It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem. -

the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze -

but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in

There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.

@
Veho:
But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".

@
Veho:
Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.

Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need -
