Thread's about the 3ds. For GBA you need DS homebrew and a Phat/Lite console. For GB you need a custom device or an n64 with transfer pak and flashcart.

This is part of why physical copies are not preservationist, by the way. Turning that physical copy into a preservable, emulated-accurately ROM is the end point. The only value physical copies have are as collectible knickknacks (which hey! Collectible knickknacks rule!)

Or you can just run some software on your 3ds and have it done instantly, without opening any cartridges or buying any products. Need help getting it running? Here you go.

Or yknow. The 3ds you presumably own to play these games. Takes about 20 minutes and an sd card to go from stock to clicking a button and backing up the save file (or whole game). No need to open carts or buy more products.

I'll stick with "just a browser", specifically one derived directly from Firefox (FF being free software is the only good thing about FF that Mozilla won't revoke or change). Mozilla lost my custom and I'm not responsible for cheerleading for them.

Check out the reply to this from the lead of the Waterfox project. Would I rather use a browser by the guy promising to turn my browser into an "ecosystem" of tools, or the one saying:

"Waterfox will not include LLMs. Full stop."

"The browser’s job is to serve you, not to think for you. That core Waterfox principle hasn’t changed, and it won’t."

"If AI browsers dominate and then falter, if users discover they want something simpler and more trustworthy, Waterfox will still be here, marching patiently along. We’ve been here before. When Firefox abandoned XUL extensions, Waterfox Classic preserved them. When Mozilla started adding telemetry and Pocket and sponsored content, Waterfox stripped it out. I like to think that where there is want for a browser that simply respects you, Waterfox has delivered."

"Waterfox exists because some users want a browser that simply works well at being a browser. The UI is mature - arguably, it has been a solved for problem for years. The customisation features are available and apparent. The focus is on performance and web standards."

And hey, because Waterfox is a Firefox fork, that oh so precious user agent data people love to bring up to dissuade people from leaving poor Mozilla to shrivel up is still telling websites 'yep, this is a Gecko engine browser'.

Ignore all the AI stuff. I do not want my web browser to ever "evolve" into "more than a web browser". I want it to be a web browser. I do not want an "ecosystem" of related products. I want a web browser.

The English VA is really good and if you don't speak French you will miss some characterizing lines. Combat barks and such aren't subtitled, and neither is what little passive chatter between NPCs there is.

Paying a bunch of salaries when your revenue streams are Shovel Knight (good but old game that kept getting free DLC and made a lot of its money before release) and... Shovel Knight Dig. They had to go back to Kickstarter for Mina, after all.

If it was one guy or a tiny team, SK's success would be enough for them to be "set for life", but a business is more expensive to run than a team is. They probably don't expect Mina to be a phenomenal income stream either, since (like SK) it's already mostly done making them money.

They got told "no, and never" by Steam 3 years ago. It's absolutely a marketing move to bring it up now. The Epic and Humble removals were rug pulls, though.

Does it being a marketing move mean that it's not worth criticizing Steam for having a one-strike-you're-out system? I don't think it does. If your game has (something valve considers reject-worthy) and you get rejected, you should probably be allowed to submit it again after removing the thing valve rejected you for.

They loophole it by not "hosting" anything other than text. Link to something and someone else is accountable right? Just ignore that data is data and any image or video can be expressed as a sequence of "text" :)

Well, his name is Crono, but you've got the spirit

Hat stores and "buy more space to hoard the loot we design the game to make you need" mtx shouldn't be given the free pass they get, especially by players that go nuclear over paid character DLC.

Since Reddit is restoring comments from deleted accounts, even if they were overwritten by a script instead of deleted, I was wondering if there were a tool similar to PowerDeleteSuite that allowed not deleting the original content of the comment.

For example, say I left a comment that said:

Great job with this!

I'd love an extension that would leave that as:

Consider leaving Reddit for Lemmy or kbin. Edit added 6/23/2023. Great job with this!

and do that to all of my prior comments on the site. I doubt that'd be rolled back by the admins the way that deleted comments and obvious script-edited comments are and also turns any comments I've left as tech support (that people might find via google searches) into an ad to migrate to a federated alternative.
