The Nintendo Wii.

Like so many, I fell to the marketing hype. Was completely bored of the thing after like a week. Where it was definitely some peoples cup of tea, it was most certainly not mine

I have very fond memories of this game also. And your post made me realise this is another title that I’m missing from my collection… damn

With the added shipping and tax on bringing it into the country, plus postal insurance on an international package like that. Really not worth the time, money and downsides compared to just buying local

It’s already ridiculously expensive for what it is. $700 in store here in Australia

Well this name was definitely a lesson to double check what you read from a post when just scrolling on by…

For that device I personally would focus more on SNES and GameBoy gaming (up to Advance), so I’ll just mention a couple of my favourites.

SNES:

• Chrono Trigger > One of the best JRPGs ever. If never played before, well worth giving this a try.
• Super Mario RPG Legend of the Seven Stars > Sooo much fun, easy to burn hours.

GameBoy:

• Pokemon Red/Blue/Green > Original Pokemon series, if you love it you love it.
• Pokemon Yellow > The Special Pikachu Edition has Pikachu following you around, its cute, and the one I would recommend personally out of the originals.
• WarioLand 2 > One of my favourite platformers on the GB.
• GameBoy Gallery 2 > Contains old Game and Watch games but with a (at the time) modern take on them + the original versions. I’ve wasted hours beyond hours playing modern Fire.

GameBoy Color:

• Pokemon Gold/Silver > It’s Pokemon lol
• Swiv > Kind of forgotten title, but really fun scrolling shooter (I think this the best way to describe it)

GameBoy Advance:

• Pokemon Fire Red > An updated version of the original Pokemon Red. If it’s your first time playing any of the originals, I would say try this one as it feels more modern to play due to the updated pixel art.

Thanks for those!

Yeah seems to be much closer to that FB design than what I remember with Friendica. I tried it about a year ago and moved on from it pretty quickly, same experience that it just seemed buggy and slow.

I’ll keep an eye on Fedibook, thanks again!

Never heard of Fedibook, nice I have something new to research, thanks!

I just recently moved on to Misskey/Sharkey to replace Bluesky and X for myself. Signal is the next one I need to look into a lot more as I still use FB Messenger and need to get away from it

Ooo I’ll grab a pair of the ballet flats in the top right pleeease ☺️

Souls like games are pretty much always far superior on controller imo over m+kb. M+kb just feels janky for me in souls likes

Okay I just reread your post, as I missed the bit you mentioned about instances like blahaj hiding the downvotes.

So a couple of questions for you.

You mentioned the communities aren’t on the instances that hide downvotes… Are these communities that live on instances that are not federated with for example blahaj.zone?

And also, you mentioned that instances that are hiding downvotes is also not a solution due to the downvoter and others still being able to see the downvotes. So I ask, why is that an issue for you? Why be worried about fake internet points that aren’t even really tracked here (unlike Reddit for example), that you can’t even see? Actual engagement in discussion between people is far more important no?

Orrr, move to an instance that has the downvotes disabled. They don’t exist if I can’t see them ☺️

Haha yeah he did. From what I saw it was mostly just basic topics where he tried to make it look like he was an industry veteran pentester

I originally saw the guys cyber security shorts, and those just felt so off, like it was a semester 1 CS student spouting what they just learnt to seem like an SME.

Then much later on I came across him again when I saw that Hardcore WoW drama unfold. Instantly knew I was right when I originally thought something was off about him, felt so validating haha

Wasn’t the “I worked at Blizzard” guy (can’t think of their name right now) one of the most public people against Stop Killing Games?

Wonder what they have to say about all this now?

This is going to be all about how they implement it imo. There was a specific line in that article “for those who want it”, if they go for an opt-in approach which only then installs the AI capabilities, then yeah okay I don’t mind as an end-user.

If however Canonical implement AI into Ubuntu without being opt-in, then I’m out and never turning back.

Thanks! ☺️

Haha that’s awesome!

I would love to do some development for older devices at some stage!

But yeah seeing the Google issues is definitely off-putting, but I’m just going to enjoy a build process for a while first

Lol, well to be fair, I spent probably only around 3-4hrs of effort. And a lot of that was figuring things out for the first time. App stores is going to be another matter entirely haha

You dont, hence why only a lower limit could be established with a single frame capture.

Basically like saying “if we only got 1 frame, then it must be going faster than x mph/kph”
