This would explain why the soundtracks for these games suddenly started appearing on my playlists. Atlus has been pretty good recently about releases on PC, so I hope that’s the case here too.

Even Haru’s billionaire ass can’t afford all these subscriptions 😭

Hating Toronto is really the great Canadian unifier, even for Torontonians.

Sink it for Reddit, which someone posted here on Lemmy (ironically). I can’t seem to link it from the app store, but the icon is an anchor with a red-orange background! It’s also completely free.

Agree with you but confused about

And at least half of those mobile users are on iphones, where they have no choice.

I use old.reddit on iPhone on Safari and it works just fine? I even have an extension to make it appear mobile friendly, so I’m really curious as what you mean by this.

As much as I would love to invest in a BMW, are they still selling subscriptions to access features like dashboard camera recordings and heated seats? I don’t remember if they walked that back, but I don’t trust them enough to not implement it in the future again if they did.

I could also see this aggressively leveraged by the JK Rowling types to harass queer people.

This is exactly what I was thinking, she and her ilk cry misogyny often while going after other women. Are they going to be held responsible under this policy? Or is this going to muddy the waters even more for “political points” while actually doing fuck all.

The DS shop closed in March 2023, so unless you already bought those titles, you won’t be able download them. I would look into homebrewing your 2DS, it’s not that complex and the step by step instructions are very thorough.

I mean you could also try to find 2nd hand sellers, but the prices of DS games have jumped a LOT in the past few years.

Oh man, highly recommend Link Between Worlds with a 3DS if you can get your hands on one! I know many people thought it was gimmicky, but it genuinely blew my mind how good the game looked in 3D. Probably tied with Samus Returns and RE:Revelations for some of my best gaming experiences on the 3DS.

I’ve played almost every Zelda except 1+2 (I swear I’ll get to it…someday) and the CD-i ones. BotW + TotK was some of my favourite times with the franchise, it really took me back to experiencing the OoT + MM duology.

I think a lot of the “People hate BotW/TotK/x Zelda” is partially an online circlejerk, tbh. No matter what the vocal Zelda fans may tout as “popular” opinion, there’s actually a lot of variance in and outside of the Zelda community. I remember when Wind Waker and Twilight Princess were touted as the black sheep of the franchise, and look at them now.

(Except Wand of Gamalon. That might be the one universally hated Zelda game in my experience, lol.)

Quick thought, how about we stop calling places where people are trying to live their lives “shithole countries?”

Went to India for a month tour, no gang rapes in sight, lots of good food eaten, lots of beautiful architecture seen. Went to Germany, had to stop three German men from harassing and pulling a tiny woman into a car she clearly didn’t want to get into.

Maybe I should have written an international news article about it. 🤔

Shounen Jump is a great example. It works, it’s readers find value in it enough to pay for subscriptions, and it clearly has some sort of profitability. A great model of what other manga magazines could do, but they refuse because most of them are run by dinosaurs and would rather cry “piracy is ruining our profits wah” when they DON’T EVEN HAVE A PRODUCT in the market to profit from!

Sorry Japan, manga piracy/scanlations until I die. There are so many niche authors/manga that never get officially translated to any other language because your industry thinks everyone just wants to read shounen and only the top 1% of shoujo/seinen/josei. Don’t even get me started on BL/GL.

Meanwhile some fucking random scanlation team does a better job of translating and making a chapter of Rose of Versailles more accessible to modern audiences than the entire Japanese manga publishing apparatus ever will.

…can…can I emulate the Dreamcast version on PC…?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamergate_(harassment_campaign)

Literally the event that accelerated the bullshit “Woke Video Games” pushback we see mouth breathers spewing in gaming spaces today. I believe this is what spawned r/KotakuInAction and the whole “It’s About Ethics™️ in Gaming Journalism” as well, but someone correct me if I’m wrong.

These exact talking points and methods were then taken up by the alt-right to propel the culture war into the mainstream, and welcome to 2024.

I unsubscribed to all the gaming subs around gamergate, holy shit everything went downhill so quickly and never really recovered. We’re seeing the effects of it to this day.

I refused to participate in gaming communities online for a long time after that, only looked at my RSS feeds for news/official announcements. The migration to Lemmy last year has me participating in them a bit more again, as long as I don’t tell anyone I’m playing a Nintendo game, lol.
