  I keep a spreadsheet of Water in games, and OoT is at the top next to Super Mario 64 and Galaxy.

  Haha this is really interesting! What else is on the list? Have you played titles such as Sea of Thieves or Subnautica?

  Yup, we should look after the root issue, too. At the moment this just seems like a vibe treatment for millionaires

  Stop moving the goalposts. Nobody cares about the votes themselves

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo Is Already Punishing Switch 2 Users Over Piracy ‘Suspicions’⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  If you see personal insults you should report the comment. Instances and communities have rules. Downvotes aren’t insults though

  I was sitting at like, -2 when they made that comment

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo Is Already Punishing Switch 2 Users Over Piracy ‘Suspicions’⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I was thinking the same, first few votes were down lol. Now you seem to catch the fire for pointing it out. Hope you care as much about votes as I do

  Follow the link in the article to find out what really happened: www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch2/…/my2iylo/

  I also posted this in another threads a few days ago:

  Nah, the OP of one reddit thread admitted he tried more than just his backups:

  • Dude is a prolific poster in Switch hacking communities and he used an account which he previously used with a hacked Switch 1.

  • He admits trying the migswitch with the Switch 2 and it starting downloading something.

  • They got an online ban, so offline games and such still work.

  You can agree or disagree whether piracy should be legal or whether backup copies are permitted (depends on jurisdiction), but this dude obviously played with fire and got burnt.

  TL;DR: don’t be stupid and get banned for breaking ToS (whether you agree with it or not)

  abbreviation wave !!r

  Arbitration waiver*

  The github discussion is interesting. I don’t think the arbitration clause is going to hold

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A couple of Switch 2 owners are already reporting expanded back panels, Nintendo investigates possible causes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s always a percentage of devices that will show defects, especially the launch wave. QA can never get 100% of units passed.

  Does anyone remember the PS5 issues with the disc drive, rest mode, coil whine etc during launch?

  Now it this turns into a pattern / widespread issue I’m ready to jump on the bandwagon, but this is not out of the ordinary.

  Amazing! A sign it’s taken good care of :)

  I may have missed this but why are your torturing yourself with the 360 version? Is it nostalgia? Are you secretly a masochist? I’m intrigued.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Warriors & Castles. Population: Me. I played a dead PvP from 2015—here's what happened.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It almost looks like a early dev version of Zelda BotW or Hyrule Warriors. Too bad it’s abandoned, looks like it may have been fun

  Yup, I presume this is their answer to the cables burning. Divide the wattage between more wires

  I remember my brother playing this mod and I was just amused at the sheer complexity of it. I love Factorio, Satisfactory and the like, but idk if I could do it in Minecraft

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t like your highschool bully, just bump into their parents back in time. Or you know, “bump” ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) into their parents

  Forcing your high school bully to call you daddy is one hell of a power move

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lies of P is getting difficulty options to make the Soulslike more accessible⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So much this! I love a challenging game but sometimes you just want to experience the game without the frustration, and lowering the difficulty for yourself has zero impact on people who prefer the original or higher difficulty

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Researchers Scrape 2 Billion Discord Messages and Publish Them Online⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Searchcord yes, but not the researchers from the headline

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Researchers Scrape 2 Billion Discord Messages and Publish Them Online⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It also includes deleted messages. And they refuse to delete things when someone opts out

  Deleted messages are not included. Neither the public nor the API allows you to read deleted messages

  Upon joining a server, users gain access to all non-deleted historical content within public channels, and the same is valid for data retrieval using their API.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Researchers Scrape 2 Billion Discord Messages and Publish Them Online⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, exactly. It may sound scary or like a violation of privacy, but there is no privacy when posting to public online areas.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Researchers Scrape 2 Billion Discord Messages and Publish Them Online⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well yeah, it’s not encrypted. It would be the same as 10 years of Reddit posts or Lemmy posts scraped

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An EXTREMELY Simple Guide to Mastodon⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The real guide is still either outdated or doesn’t take into account that there’s a lot more steps. But considering it’s been 2 years, I don’t hold that against the author

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An EXTREMELY Simple Guide to Mastodon⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think that’s too simplified and it will create expectations that aren’t true, because It’s more like this:

  1. Choose instance

  2. Read & agree to Mastadon rules

  3. Read & agree to (instance) privacy terms

  4. Create account

  5. Tap the verification link in your email

  6. Solve the Captcha

  7. Get a list of people/users to follow (why these people? What is it based on?)

  8. Setup profile

  9. Done!

  Hahaha that sounds like classic REPO. I’m really amazed by the simplicity of the game and how long it stays fun, especially for the price

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Square Enix considered ending Final Fantasy 11 in 2024, but player interest was high enough to keep it alive even after 20+ years⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ending meaning

  with the game shifting into a so-called maintenance mode, where only system upkeep would be performed.

  So not really pulling the plug, just no new story developments and updates

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 305 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games l've been playing⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah the vents are a fun addition, albeit somewhat slow as you have to crawl through them.

  There was one vent that took me through a small alcove with dangerous goop, to another vent that took me to one of those horses. Safe to say we didn’t get it down without damaging it considering we were up way high and that thing is heavy af.

  Still, fun times

  I don’t say no, I say yes and put my discomfort for anything aside, other people’s wants are more important than my feeling

  I don’t know why no one is mentioning this, but your feelings are valid and important. Assuming you extend this to people you’ve just met, eventually someone will either take advantage of this or think you like them because you don’t say no, even when uncomfortable.

  Don’t do that to yourself. Whatever you did (as a kid), you don’t deserve that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 305 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games l've been playing⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree that some more modes would be nice, but bear in mind the version is still 0.1.2 so there’s plenty more to come, it’s just not finished yet.

  I do like the new map, although I miss opening doors on that one haha
