  • I wouldn’t be surprised if this backfires a bit. The reason most publishers/IP holders don’t go after videos on youtube and twitch is because it’s basically free advertisement for your game.

    If this behavior leads to people holding back on making nintendo based content, it could fuck them over in the long run. If you were a streamer or youtuber, would you feel particularly comfortable making videos and streaming nintendo games?

    I know I wouldn’t. There is no guarantee that nintendo actually puts effort into determining whether you are using an emulator or not. And even for the people who do use emulators, they may not be looking to continue making nintendo content.


  • One thing they’ve been saying that concerns me however, is that apparently there have been people getting banned from help forums and even the GitHub for criticism.

    Perhaps there were people going too far and getting rightfully banned and some innocent people got caught in the crossfire?

    They’ve addressed that:

  • This is exactly the thing I’ve been looking for. It saves everything as a sqlite db, and has csv export options. So you’re not fucked over if you need to switch to something else. It’s compatible for linux/windows.

    And the import options seem pretty good too.

    Congrats, you’ve made me spend the whole day switching everything over to that lol.

    The only real issue is that one of my banks deals with more than one type of currency. So I’ve had to write a custom script to handle that. But all in all, this is a massive upgrade for me. Thank you for this recommendation.






  • just finished bioshock, wow!

    Fantastic series, I’m glad you liked it, because I sure did as well.

    I’m sure you’re already loaded up with a backlog of recommendations and games you bought but haven’t yet touched. But I’d highly recommend FTL: Faster Than Light, as well as Into The Breach. They’re both from the same publisher, and are both amazing games that arguably are a defining feature of modern gaming.

    I hear there are cheats for call of duty type things that people pay subscriptions for. I don’t get it.

    Yeah, I’m right there with you. Could not care less about subscriptions, let alone for cheat subscriptions.

    Thanks for sharing your experiences mate.

    Of course. Enjoy whatever is next on your list!


  • I will admit I’m making some strong, harsh statements. But I think that’s a pretty natural result of living in the U.S., a country who’s cops operate closer to a gang than Rescue Heroes. They kill minorities with virtual immunity. They racially profile people. The list goes on.

    Somebody who intentionally joins a group like that does not have good intentions, or is ok with their buddies not having good intentions, or gets kicked out quickly for tattling on their fellow cops. So yeah, cops are never on your side, at least not here.


  • But if a police officer were to remove your phone by force, first it would be illegal without a warrant so it would almost made you a favour as all evidence in your phone would be invalid in court.

    Even if what they find on your phone isn’t valid in court, it can still lead them to other things that are valid. For instance, a picture taken at a specific place with a timestamp. That picture may not be admissible, but if they find CCTV footage of you at that time and place, you’re screwed.

    Cops can and will overreach their powers, and they’ll probably get away with it.

    Even locked if they want the info in your phone they are probably getting it. They would have access to some of the best forensics teams and equipment.

    Sure, but it’s a lot harder for them if your phone is encrypted and shut off before you encounter them.

    Following the same logic, should we never have an unlocked phone near a police officer? I don’t know about that.

    You really shouldn’t. Cops are never on your side.



  • Back in the day, there were cheats in computer magazines, a sequence of key presses that would give you loads of lives or money or bullets or whatever. I used those an loved em.

    I still use those for my Nintendo DS. My dad had an extension card for his Sega genesis that did the same.

    Cheats like that are as old as games themselves, and they’re not going to be going anywhere any time soon.

    It’s just that now we have online versions, and if you’re on PC you can edit any memory address you like, directly, with any value you like.
