    I guess I don’t get the point of this post then. Rare games have always been expensive. Unwanted games are still cheap. Piracy and emulation are better than ever.

    New 3DS XL/Wii U + custom firmware hacks, which are extremely easy these days if you follow the main guides, are the only way to play a collection for Nintendo.

    Myrient for all other games for custom emulation / compilation.

    Divorce yourself from the physical act of collecting. It is unrelated to the real joy IMO, each in is the preservation and play.

    Could you elaborate on the additional features? I don't know much about Threads and if that feature is open sourced.

    We had game/post-game threads all last year. High seas links are banned now, so it cannot be exactly the same as last year.

    I personally split the difference now. I think if the hive mind was completely rational, liberty/ancap must work in principle.

    But propaganda, and moreover just how much violence people are raised with even still on average in western households, let alone the insane variance in parenting quality from China to the hyper religious Middle East to the current lead-filled (or micro plastic filled?) brains of Trumpers to the insane gang violence of Mexico and South America to the total rape of the continent of Africa… prohibits there from being any volume of rationality required to make it possible for at least another 200 years.

    …except before 200 years we will have needed to solve for all of our global crises anyway to avoid extinction (at least there is a non negligible chance)—and thus some mix of socialism via the state, and the “market” AKA Earth dying, with the occasional bout of rational zeitgeist, is the only way to save Earth and explore the stars.

    Conceptually seems compelling… not enthralled with the execution and over reliance on current stock footage. Should have focused on the fiction after establishing stock footage without then continuously cutting back to it like a crutch.

    Discovery should not be a function of the Fediverse itself. It should be a tool, app, or otherwise layer on top of a baseline. Discovery is an opinionated service offering—if it’s baked in, it’s not a good thing IMO.

  • In your opinion, what characterizes a good CEO of a medium-sized company?

    Typically I agree but I believe this was repeat allegations from multiple parties. If it was only one person and it was dropped, maybe he deserves the benefit of the doubt. But fool me twice, shame on me.

    That part is less about the justice system and more a likely triangulation of him probably being not so great, at best. Plenty of people got charges dropped or “redeemed” on a technicality who are definitely guilty.

    Unfortunately, that dude was relatively recently charged with SA allegations / rape.

    His wife also accused him of beating her.

    I believe charges were dropped but it definitely cast a shadow over his public good guy persona.
