Also have to take into account that the early 8-bit systems from Japan were often marketed towards children in the US. They would ramp up the difficulty of games - which were usually too expensive for kids to purchase on their own - to bring more longevity and perceived value. Games were viewed as expensive at a time where “Kill your television” was a common mantra, when parents wanted their kids playing outside as much as possible, and the consequences of Reagonomics was coming into full effect.

So Nintendo played it safe for a very long time (even more than they do now) and still got a lot of pushback and flack from conservative parents.

How bizarre. Smells a lot like the Sympathy Loophole combined with Munchausen by Internet. This community is like a small town so I’m not sure why they think this will fly. But here we are… feeding the narrative.

Maybe do a sleep study. Lots of undiagnosed sleep apnea around this age. It gets worse over time. Even if you don’t snore.

edit: feeling déjà vu. Did i recommend this to you before? Either way, most of this is definitely not normal or age related.

Also, turn off biometrics and disable all data sync. Disable bluetooth and wifi. Never put PIN in within visible range to prevent shoulder and camera surfing. Refuse to input PIN if demanded. If they stick you in a room, don’t touch anything. If they try to build rapport, invoke your fifth amendment right and demand to speak with legal council. Be a broken record if you have to. Staying silent isn’t enough in some states.

Never assume this is safe enough.

If possible just get a cheap, dumb phone only used for travel. Have an innocuous phrase you can say to your loved ones if you get busted that indicates you’re compromised. Cuz they’re probably gonna go after them too.

I believe you. I’ll try on my other machines later. fwiw shows “bad media error” on Voyager app for lemmy and mobile Safari.

Nope.

Togepi. Just too dang cute. I had the little animated figure. Maybe still do somewhere… And Psyduck since he’s basically my spirit animal.

Wonder what set him off. Seems pretty irrational. Demolished verbally and physically. Super embarrassing.

edit: saw the follow up video that gave context. This guy then grabbed a switchblade and went after that Kratos sized dude and other people. Way to throw your life away.

My SP is in pretty good shape. I’ve only had to replace the battery and got an Everdrive for it. However, I am wary of taking it outside of my house since it’s not exactly easily replaceable.

I picked up a Brick Hammer because it was close enough to the same experience with of course, a lot of improvements. But also because it wasn’t packed with unnecessary things like joysticks, etc. The buttons are almost perfect too, which i am super picky about. If this had been out around that time it would’ve been a tough decision.

dBrand’s unhinged relative.

Oh damn, I forgot about acme. Plan 9 is a trip.

vim is basically my foreverhome at this point. I feel clumsy trying to use most other things. But I also like emacs shortcuts and learned a bunch of them unwittingly via bash having that mode set out of the box.
