Or you could manually block any IP adresses that display TikTok ads.
That's much more tedious, but yeah, I recommended that on the first page. That still won't prevent them from trying to load inside the YouTube app, though. Vanced has the ad service completely disabled.

I don't understand them one bit. I see them all the time on Twitter. It's like, they always serve up some mildly good looking but underage girl wearing some weird ass outfit or makeup, with some caption about how I'll break my thyroid of laughter all evening. Thing is, before this, I saw the same ads but they were for Musical.ly, and I understand this "Tik Tok" thing bought them out? Same people in the ads and everything.

Frankly, it's time to stop.

All these sites buildin' up profiles of me, sellin' my info for targeted ads and not a single one gets the hint that idgaf about middle schoolers poorly lip syncing trashy songs?

I know this thread is somewhat old but I just had to post here.

There is nothing I hate more than those Mobile-only social media apps that somehow gain a gigantic following of cringy 11 year olds pretending to be sexy. It's full of disgusting pre-teens acting that think they are celebrities.
The communities for apps like Snapchat, Musical.ly, and TikTok are all starchy little white girls who are desperate for attention.
The people who actually get famous on those apps lack any sort of talent outside of lip syncing and looking decently attractive.

The fact that Tik Tok buys ads in only the most mainstream websites really shows the audience they appeal to, the most basic people on the planet.

Anyway it's only a matter of time until another one of these embarrassing apps show up. Makes me sick just thinking about it.

    also gonna install twilight menu in my r4 flashcard
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:

    Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card
