    Okay i finished the actual thumbnail, it was slightly rough before.
    Some of you might ask how i made it...and that you probably wanted to make a lot of these too. There is no easy way. This was all made from scratch in Affinity and added the shadow and color corrected it in gimp

    Very well said. From the beginning it concerned me a lot, too. It seems that no one has the ability to run this kind of service professionally, without becoming a disappointing drama show and having internal scandals.
    At some point I will have to install it on at least one of my 3DS consoles, I wish to be able to play Animal Crossing with others again.
    I might also have to look deeper into the possibility of hosting my own private server, since Pretendo thankfully seems to be mostly open-source free software, but then it will work only with friends, Tortimer island is out of the question.
    It's a shame Nintendo had to shut down the official service so soon. A replacement will never be the same.

    Free online service had to go in favor of paid subscriptions. Nintendo is afraid of their own past. They were able to pull the plug from 3DS and Wii U network, but they can't take away three decades of high quality single player and local multiplayer games.

    I understand your interest in online multiplayer for a game you love. Self-hosting should be the way if possible. Those questionable revivals are fishy. From the perspective of running such a thing open to the general public: i would never do that because of liabilities, especially when user generated content is involved.

    Now, im not trying to be rude, im really not, but if you look at literally ANY other website, im 99% sure the team wont look like this either. And why is there so little people.

    And as for WiiLink, i wish they werent as professional, its eating them alive

    There is a theory about you need 1/8th of the time you knew a person to forget about it.

    You're 17. It will take a long time to figure out what you're going to do. Just try to take in as many unique experiences as you can, and learn all about the world. You might even end up just doing just whatever, and that's fine too. Don't expect to have it all figured out.

    ive been thinking about kanye west a lot...but specifically because i had a dream about him where he was having another psychotic episode and he broke into my house, pretended like he was supposed to be there, and started messing with my shit

    um...y...yeah? i guess? theres actually technically like hundreds. the bible is required to be translated for you to understand it, and some have very different approaches to that. i personally have the new testament and the new american bible

    "the bible is required to be translated for you to understand it"

    Depends what languages you know - the new testament is mostly pretty simple koine Greek

    But also - sounds like you have 1.5 bibles in the desk

    of course, but youd have to be a historian to a certain point

    i may sound really dumb saying this as im not really a network guy... but you know how people revive discontinued services by reverse engineering what connections the software wouldve expected and recreating them?...what if i (or we or you or whoever) did that for a service that still exists. google.

    The infrastructure is practically impenetrable unless you compromised their SSL/TLS and DNS systems in a way they can't feasibly restore it in time, but even then, as an industry giant, they have the means of doing it from scratch if necessary.

    Also, as a global provider with thousands of regional datacentres, you'd have to do an insanely large scale compromise to completely take over... for less than a day.

    Reverse-engineering is infeasible for all the hundreds of services they offer, not to mention all their infrastructure, so it would only make sense to compromise them directly. Again, easier said than done, and it would cause a mild disturbance at most, and things would return to how they were. Not worth it.

    i dont think you get what i mean. i mean reverse engineering how google servers respond to requests and rerouting them to a recreation of that specific servers behavior

    I remember having to do this manually to set a background a while ago. Nature works well, but aquatic images (underwater, or with prominent water on them) work even better! Aqua/Aero are a sight to behold.

    As for whether the background I used wasn't suggestive or wasn't prominently visible around many people, I can't say! :creep:
