I haven’t played anything recently but have been enjoying watching YouTube videos on the creation and history of classic games like Donkey Kong, Roller Coaster Tycoon, and others

Futo gave them a micro-grant this month

I totally agree with you

That looks awesome. Glad to see it’s on GoG

Pokémon Crystal (Polished Crystal ROM hack). It’s amazing. It’s a Vanilla+ experience of Crystal. The most notable thing to me is It’s now 60fps. Then all the QoL improvements but all the changes are within Pokémon lore. It feels like a GBA game now and takes my top spot as favorite Pokémon game

What’s the illegal content referenced? CSAM? Pirated content?

My brother-in-law got a Switch for his kid. They tried to play the “free” classic emulated games but then it stopped him and said he had to create some online account which costs money. That’s some scummy tactics to get you to pay a subscription for a “free” game

Sherpa is by far the best. I personally find GB southern English female medium very natural sounding

We’ll have to see if the general consumer is willing to pay full price. It seems likely as people generally just go along with things. If so then Nintendo will definitely keep prices high

If the price never drops and a “must have exclusive” arrives you would purchase one? Why would you let that change your principle on the matter? It’s just a game, probably overly priced too. Vote with your money. Let Nintendo know that it is too expensive for the average family.

A simple first step to helping oneself learn better ways to deal with this problem is to setup NextDNS on your router and use their Roku or similar content filters.

Be prepared for your router to not work until you figure out how to set stuff up. So hopefully this isn’t your only router. I converted a router to OpenWRT and my knowledge of networking was super basic. It was very confusing but I did get it working in a few days. However, I couldn’t get some things working like a VPN or updating without wiping all my settings. OpenWRT is router firmware, not NAS software. You’ll need to run something like CasaOS, OpenMediaVault, TrueNAS, etc for that.

This website is a great starting point for router configurations: https://routersecurity.org/#StartHere

I tried it and it’s awesome. I like it better than Liquid Crystal. It feels way more retro but also modernized at the same time. The 60fps world is a huge improvement

What are you talking about?

That looks awesome. I might switch over to that version, or at least give it a try

The Pokémon Liquid Crystal ROM hack, a gen 2 remake for GBA

Thank you. That’s incredibly insightful. When I get the cash I’ll setup a PiHole

Fair

That’s a good point

Why would someone pick PiHole over say a customized NextDNS on your router?
