The only times I allow it myself are in this case (zero legal availability) and for unofficial/fan translations of games not available in your home region/language. Nobody would be getting your money anyway, no theft of compensation/profits there. If any games do become available, though, then we should support them. The more we put our money where our mouth is for a return to market for these games, the more incentive there is for companies to bring more of them back.

This is especially true when it comes to traditional gender roles in the workplace. Women in Japan are often only hired as secretaries or "office ladies" in big companies, basically to shuffle papers and serve tea. Not exactly big decision-making roles. Heck, even making an announcement is likely a big thing in this regard for a Japanese company, if they actually follow through they could really be seen as progressive by Japanese standards.

I'm a week into Tears of the Kingdom and slowly unearthing my dormant skills from BotW. I don't remember basic enemies being as strong as they are, or else I missed something about gaining stronger armor/defense. Plugging away and will get better over time, though.

Maybe not endless Mario movies, but more Nintendo movies for sure. I've seen rumors that about an animated Zelda movie floating around with the success of Mario.

Threads is already 30x bigger than Lemmy and many times bigger than even Mastodon. Mass defederation won't be making any sort of large media news outlets. We wouldn't have any sort of significant numbers at that point.

As laughable as it sounds, the Sega 32X. I was a Genesis kid and one birthday my parents bought me Star Wars Arcade not understanding that it required the 32X to play. I kept telling them that the game wouldn't work without it (even showing them that it wouldn't fit in the regular Genesis slot) and they kept insisting that I must be doing something wrong or that I could just cut the corners off the cartridge to make it fit. So I wanted the 32X to play Star Wars, as well as this strange Knuckles game I kept hearing about (which I know is Knuckles' Chaotix). Never ended up getting one. Got an N64 soon after, much better decision.

You could say... That's no good?

You mean I can't get the dust out of the Wii U disk drive that way?

It's a start, but hopefully they drop the idea altogether It's bad enough as it is, we don't need more.

Hoping Lewis Cine steps up for the Vikes' secondary this year after being out pretty much all last year. We might just have a semi-effective defensive scheme with Flores at the helm, but it's just as much about execution as it is about coaching, and Cine is pretty much all we've got out there in the secondary. Our 2nd year GM spent the whole offseason cleaning up the cap hell Spielman left for him and freeing up money to pay JJ, so we lost a lot of talent. The guys who are left are all gonna have to step up, but especially the defense.

I kinda feel bad for Lance because it kinda feels like he wasn't given a chance at all before the Niners went on this little episode of QB confusion. He had one game where he played good but not great and they're already acting like they're done with him because Purdy got fans energized.

Vikings fan. Agreed.

Basically "embrace, extend, extinguish" in a nutshell.

I just noticed she's making the same exact face in all three panels, just from different perspective. That said, that face is just screaming to be put on a sticker or an emoji/icon somewhere.

Wouldn't the Japanese model also have a much larger library of games available and be able to use the RAM carts to boost performance?

If Platinum was the last game you've played, and you are willing to pick up a Switch, Legends Arceus is a great choice. It's set in the past of the Sinnoh region, features a somewhat decent amount of newer Pokémon, has a good story overall, and is generally agreed upon to be the best Pokémon game of generation 8. The semi-open world and ability to catch Pokemon without battling them (featuring stealth mechanics) make for unique and fun gameplay for the series. You can even complete the pokedex all on one cart without needing to trade.

If you want to pick up a "mainline" non-spinoff game, no better place to jump in than the current generation, in this case Scarlet/Violet. It's the game with the most current stuff going on and with the most active community. Most of the complaints about it are about the graphics and framerate/performance on the Switch hardware, but many also say that despite the performance issues these are the best mainline games in the series from story and gameplay standpoints. There's a lot of online bickering among fans who are both positive and negative on the gen 9 games, but I would say watch some YouTube or Twitch videos of gameplay preferably without commentary to see what the games are like and make up your own mind on it before paying for a Switch and the game.

I just started the other day, so about 4. 😋 Just got to the Temple of Time, so assuming I'm about to leave tutorial island.

Game Sack is a long-running channel that's one of the best retro game channels IMO. They release a video every week or two. MetalJesusRocks and his endless quest for Hidden Gems is also very good.

Login problem is fixed for me, yay! Back on Jerboa and here on the browser! Thanks for your hard work and for putting up with me, lol.

I'm getting network errors that aren't allowing me to actually view content on Jerboa right now, though, but at this point I'm assuming it's a Jerboa thing and not a problem with the instance.

Was just able to login at least on browser using password reset. Can confirm.
