nintendo's really having a blast telling everyone to pirate their games! so far in the past couple of months, nintendo has:
- shut down the eshop for wii u/3ds
- issued a DMCA to lockpickRCM, preventing switch owners from legally obtaining keys needed for emulation (and it caused a switch emulator to shut down due to fears they'd be DMCA'd too)
- sent a new 3DS update that blocked all free methods of homebrewing the console
- and just recently, they told steam to take down the dolphin emulator
remember: pirating nintendo games is good.
(edit: fix'd some info!)
One of the main issues with online games is that when hosting the game is no longer profitable for the developers the game tends to become completely unplayable. A huge loss for preservation.
Old games tended to allow users to host their own servers, so don't have that issue as much. Modern games, not so much.
Some games get lucky enough to find a community with the skills to reverse engineer, others don't.
Cooler, https://www.knockoutcity.com/updates/knockout-city-private-hosted-server-edition released a self-hostable version of their game.
Make a Doom map! I'm running RAMP for the third year - from now until the end of June, I'm encouraging beginners to give Doom mapping a try and to be part of a larger project. See https://ramp.teamouse.net/ for this and previous years' projects!
FFMPEG is so great… whatever it is you need to do with a video file, all you have to do is type "ffmpeg [thing i need to do]" into Google, copy-paste your first result, and then it doesn't fucking work

I need a place safe, clean, and QUEER FRIENDLY within around 200 miles of Stanford in California.

Have y'all heard about the upcoming Imgur purge? https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/04/hosting-site-imgur-will-remove-explicit-and-anonymous-content-next-month/
On May 15th they're gonna set some anti-NSFW algorithm loose (*sighs-in-Tumblr-user*) but also dropping absolutely everything not connected to a user account. That's a _lot_ of links that are gonna break.
So If you're used to just being able to search for some classic scans or whatever that you'd always get an Imgur result for, maybe download them now? (For me this was Rebecca Sugar's "Don't Cry For Me I'm Already Dead".)
