okay, pier solar is just region-free. as with so many things in life, this was something i could have found out much sooner just by reading the enclosed instruction booklet

re: either my dreamcast is magic or pier solar is region-free already 

@EeveeEuphoria@tech.lgbt ooh yeah here it is, from the getting-started page on the instruction manual:

"The 'Dreamcast' version of the game is meant to be played on any SEGA Dreamcast system from any region around the world."

re: either my dreamcast is magic or pier solar is region-free already 

@EeveeEuphoria@tech.lgbt it's very strange that they'd put FOR JAPAN ONLY on the back if that's the case. maybe it's for legal purposes or something?

So I'd need to raise 280€ in total.

I really wish we could sleep together at the same time again and the anti-choking pillow would allow that.

As for karate, it's my dream since I'm 7 but I couldn't go to the closest club because it was still too far away from home.

I've been lucky enough to practice for two months in 2017/2018 but had to stop back then, and I really wish I could get back. My senseï is disabled as well and knows me so he'll make sure I'll be safe.

Thanks for any help 💙

Hey friends,

I'm so sorry to ask but I'd really need help. I gotta buy an anti-choking pillow due to my nocturnal epilepsy, because my fiancee has to stay awake to look after me. It costs 100€ with two washable pillowcases.

Also I'd like to get back to karate (180€) in January, maybe it could slow down the neurodegenerative disease I probably have and it's my childhood dream, I wish I could make it happen before it's too late.

Any help matters, thank you.
Please boost

either my dreamcast is magic or pier solar is region-free already 

my copy of Pier Solar and the Great Architects has NTSC-J all over it. "For Japan Only," it says, in multiple places on the packaging. so, i was looking into getting past region-locking because i figured i'd probably not be able to play it on my north american dreamcast

on a lark, i put the disc in anyway and see what will happen, expecting some sort of "wrong region" message

and... it boots and runs anyway??

thinking i might have gotten a J console, i tried Bust-a-Move 4 (which has an ESRB rating right on the disc so i know it's a north american game) and it works too

so my assumption is one of:
- my dreamcast was already modded to make it region-free and i wasn't aware when i bought it
- pier solar, being a modern homebrew game, is region-free despite all the packaging saying it's only for NTSC-J

does anyone know if pier solar is like that, or does my dreamcast just have magic powers

I really think we need to reject the term "content creator."

That phrase is used by people who aim to Monetize™ us without needing to care about what it is we create. A "content creator" is there to make the stuff that attracts people so they can be fed advertising.

Call us what we are. Artists. Essayists. Film makers. Authors. Photographers. And so many others. We are creators, yes, but what we create has so much value beyond filling otherwise empty space on a website.

@EeveeEuphoria@tech.lgbt sorry! thats what i meant too. im using composite, not vga, so i dont think i'll need that. i'll look into utopia

@EeveeEuphoria@tech.lgbt by VGA, you mean the video cable? i just have mine plugged into my tv thru composite

@XanIndigo in the fediverse's youth these memes would last a week and there'd already be a new one brewing by the time we got tired of the old one
