    I'm sorry for what has happened to you. I still don't know much details about it, but I won't annoy you by asking further. But this is one of my biggest nightmares/fears, and I cannot imagine making it out of such a situation myself, so be glad that you managed to make it out of 2024 at all.
    the way AlvRo is handling the hosting situation is deeply concerning, both putting the collection behind a paywall and simultaneously having it connected to their legal name... how can this end well

    Did his collection feature anything in particular that made it special, or was it just the easy access that made the AlvRo stuff popular with noobs? Honestly hilarious choice. Sure will be a heck of a lawsuit...theyre gonna charge him per download, he's got downloads in the millions...

    it was the ease of access and sheer volume and variety that made it popular, but they've been pushing asking for donations for several months to help with the costs to keep it all up

    and has now just made it fully paywalled because people aren't very charitable to their own charities i guess :unsure:

    Well they've been around since atleast '17 (in the Iso sites), and they expanded their library even further after those sites went under. So the fact that they kept it for years free of charge to everyone is commendable enough.
    As for putting their real name out there in connection to this, they must think they're truly invincible

    Sorry for late reply. We got craftsmen at the house again. I have very(!) limited work performance myself and can't possibly do much more than be depressed, in panic and desperation. There is so much to do with my computers and so little I can actually do at the moment.

    Run official transfer (PC based, it's the quickest).
    Simply injecting movable.sed from old → new isn't a good idea in my opinion.

    If trying any fancy stuff be sure to backup the replacement device BEFORE experiments.

    To be honest the cleanest method short of official transfer is ditching NAND contents (step history, play history, Mii Maker, Face Raiders save… and all that useless nonsense), reinstalling the games and restoring save data with Checkpoint.

    Damn, the GBAtemp server is lagging right now. Hope the messages went through. Got a whole lot of "unexpected database error"

    Honestly for being around for only a couple days so far I have to say it is already really good.

    The massive influx of new users that joined recently makes it well worth it compared to Twitter that I would not miss using it anymore at this point.

    I’ve been enjoying it. Not having my posts swarmed by people who hate me because the Twitter algorithm showed my posts to people who hate me, is quite nice
    i love dark souls 2 as much as i hate dark souls 2, favorite of the triology

    -from fights and instead spend 5 hours on every single enemy you see, which is fine if you enjoy that, but so many people get turned off of this masterpiece of a game because some elitist says "this = souls game and souls game = hard bash your head against brick wall game"

    and it breaks my heart to see people who get overwhelmed and don't even learn the first lesson it tries to teach you, which is to come back to the horse guy later, and instead give up right there

    i should've made a blog for this i forgot how small 420 characters is
    echoes of wisdom is fun gameplay-wise but i find myself caring less and less about the game the more i see things from botw
    like the sheikah, gerudo designs etc

    Me too. I've barely played TotK, it just feels too similar and I don't have the patience for the excessive amount of collectibles. I'll probably get through it eventually, but what I really want right now is a traditional 3D Zelda.

    I would rather go back and replay OoT or Wind Waker right now than continue TotK. I hope the next Zelda game will be more traditional. BotW and TotK feel like a lot of quantity over quality, and I'd rather have a shorter more concise game with higher overall quality.

    i made a meme post about the echoes of wisdom tutorial on reddit and every comment was a spoiler and no one got the joke, some things never change
    the PS5 controller is surprisingly the most versatile, self contained, and compatible controller I've ever used... why do many older games work with the PS5 controller that didn't work with the PS4 one even with a bunch of tinkering :wtf:

    I heard ds5 joysticks have drift

    That is true. Mine drifts out of the deadzone *out of the box*. Like, just plugging it in, reading raw values, it's drifting left, *without touching the sticks at all*.
    It's madness, lol.

    Edit: it's definitely some quality issue. My DS2 is whoever-knows-how-many years old, and still has zero drift.
    Mama Dizzys
    Mama Dizzys
    i haven't had drift issues beyond what you'd normally see out of controllers in their prime- 5-6% deadzone needed at most- so i'm just hoping i lucked out on a controller for once because i've heard many drift complaints about this one
    has there ever been any real bad cases of mod abuse :unsure:

    nintendo can innovate and trendset like no other company out there can... so why do they allow "pokemon 1 remaster #897 now with 20 additional increasingly unappealing pokemon" to release on their platforms each year
    AkiraKurusu
    Because that's not entirely under Nintendo's purview. I dunno how the business tree looks, but that franchise is essentially co-owned by Creatures Inc. and The Pokémon Company, afaik, and that gives those two lazy companies some measure of control.
    AkiraKurusu
    Unfortunately, Pokémon's not like Mario or The Legend of Zelda.

    Nintendo doesn't care as long as the money keeps coming in, and people still buy them so it does
    how plausible is it that a relative noob like myself could replace an n3dsxl circle pad, because i just realized i've been putting off going and having it fixed for several years and just playing dpad supported games :mellow:
