cant overstate how easy it is to explain adults doing consensual weird stuff in public to kids. "oh some people like doing that!", you're done. everything that adults do is fucking deranged nonsense to kids, going to work makes no sense, it's not hard to explain at all. you want something hard to explain to kids, try death!

@mark going to work is deranged nonsense to me and *i'm* an adult

@daviddd@tech.lgbt (i know wii backup manager claims to be able to handle 7z files itself but it doesn't like the ones i get from vimm for whatever reason)

@daviddd@tech.lgbt yknow i should have assumed wii backup manager was capable of that. i was just manually extracting the archives directly into the wbfs folder on my usb drive because i was tired of waiting for the game to extract and then waiting for the backup manager to transfer it over

Anyway here's a script to activate most Windows versions that works by using a generic product key and doesn't leave a shady software running in the background: massgrave.dev/

DO NOT pay for Windows

And yeah, if you want less of Microsoft's bullshit, use the Enterprise or Education editions. They have less nagging with all of the same features

@noiob but what if i want access to more than [checks nintendo's official documentation for supported types of sd card] 32gb worth of gamecube games

so maybe instead you want to have two hard drives, one with your gc games and one with your wii games

nope! nintendont also doesnt work if you have more than one hard drive plugged in

Show thread

lets say, for example, you want to use backups of both wii games and gamecube games. so you format your drive as fat32 because nintendont is particular and start getting your games on there

the issue is, fat32's max file size is 4gb

and wouldn't you know it, a small handful of wii games in WBFS format scrape juuust over that limit

Show thread

whoever was making nintendont (the wii homebrew app that can launch gamecube games from e.g. a usb drive) and decided "eh, only supporting fat32 is good enough" deserves eternal misfortune

i got Bergentruckung confused with Arschersetzer for a second and now i'm just imagining Asgore telling Toriel that her problem is her ass

oh boy im getting 100kb/s on this 3.8gb download so i guess im not downloading anything else from vimm today

Real talk, though. The sounds shō and jō appear to have INCREDIBLE contextual sensitivity in Japanese.

"(W)hat we are witnessing is the wealthiest companies in history (Microsoft, Apple, Google, Meta, Amazon …) unilaterally seizing the sum total of human knowledge that exists in digital, scrapable form and walling it off inside proprietary products, many of which will take direct aim at the humans whose lifetime of labor trained the machines without giving permission or consent."

if you're looking to build your brand, try posting about tuning forks. i hear they really resonate with audiences

Learning Japanese is great because you look up a word like jōyō and get four for the price of one! 😉

do you ever see a video game character you don't hear much about and go "damn theyre kinda hot"? anyway, i wonder what blinx the cat is doing these days. wonder if he's single
