For me, early 2000s contemporary Christian music.

I wasn't allowed to listen to secular music. So I made a lot of emotional connections to contemporary Christian music. Which is pretty cringe in retrospect. Whenever I'm reminded of it, I have a pretty conflicted set of emotions about it.

I usually only listen to that music that I listened to in my early teens when I feel like wallowing in self pity. But I can't deny that I feel extremely nostalgic about it. It makes me wish I would have made those same emotional connections to music that wasn't associated with really disturbing fundamentalist Christian ideologies and propaganda.

A DCCU hit? Can it be true?

Believe me, it's possible to divorce god too.

Mario, Zelda, and now Donkey Kong?

If they do more, I'd imagine it'd be one or more of these, roughly in order from most to least likely:

• Kirby
• Starfox
• Metroid
• F-Zero

A few that are less likely to ever be movies, I'd say:

• Fire Emblem
• Pikmin
• Mother

And of course there's stuff like Ice Climbers, but I'd be really surprised if something like that got a movie.

The above, of course, doesn't count all kinds of potential spinoffs like Mariokart, Dr. Mario, Wario, or Yoshi getting their own movie.

Oh, and of course Pokemon has gotten tons of movies already. Of course there are going to be more of those.

Finally: Nintendo, do Star Tropics, you cowards.

So we write a JS library that you can pull in with your favorite client-side JS package manager that pretends to do ID and face scanning, but just green-lights everything. It tells the user "ok, look at your screen and 3... 2... 1... ok, we got your face scan now hold your ID up to the screen and 3... 2... 1... yup, you're 100% over 18 all right, yessirree." And we only admit it's not actually doing shit in the fine fine print. And anyone can lock their content behind that and if the state of Mississippi or whoever comes after the website admin, the website has plausible deniability. "It's whaaaaaat? I was scammed? Really? It doesn't actually verify? Oh, well, I'm so very sorry Mr. state prosecutor sir, I never realized. I'll get that fixed right up. Wouldn't want innocent seventeen-and-a-half-year-olds exposed to any mention of... whispers: nudity."

This one is easily a contender for my absolute favorite Nerdcore song.

Staaaaaaahp

It's usually not terribly noticeable except on certain games (I think Celest was one example I heard) or if you're speedrunning (which was why it bothered me so much specifically). Basically, pressing one of the D-pad buttons can often register a different D-pad input even if the operator of the controller presses in exactly the correct part of the D-pad.

The way the D-pad is constructed is that the part your finger makes contact with is a plastic piece that pivots about a "post" and when you tip it one direction or another far enough, it presses on a pressure pad on the controller's motherboard. The problem is just that the "post" is about... maybe half a millimeter shorter than it ought to be, so it pivots a little less than it should and pancakes a little more than it should, resulting in the wrong pressure pad being hit.

That's already way more info than you asked for. Lol. But if you want even more info, this YouTube video has a simple fix and this 3D-printable part on Thingiverse is about a more sophisticated fix. I've tried both and can confirm the latter is a little bit better in my experience. The former fixed the misinput issue, but made D-pad down a bit less responsive. The latter, I have no complaints about.

Well that's disappointing. I fixed my Switch 1 Pro controller with the Scotch tape trick and later 3D-printed a replacement D-pad. Of course, both of those required fully disassembling and reassembling the controller. But it did the trick. (The latter better than the former. More info in another comment I made on this thread.)

The Switch 1 Pro Controller had plenty of issues too. I have to wonder if the Switch 2 Pro Controller has the same janky d-pad issue that basically every Switch 1 Pro Controller (except the ones modified by end consumers to fix the issue) had.
