To “hack” a ds you simply buy a 5€ flash cart and you’re done.

But the ds is a fairly new console, surely it wouldn’t even be an option in a retro cont- oh…

The time, I was trying to parse what date but it made no sense with four numbers, then on the time the seconds jumped to 98 seconds and I was like wait a second…

Aren’t those thermos specifically designed so you don’t have to drink it on one go? I’d assume the person fills them and then has a sip every so often so they don’t have to leave their desk every 30 minutes to get water.

Yes, they always give 3 options and they are always sorted to mean Bad - medium - good but the adjectives often simply don’t match what’s asked, but it’s still obvious which is which and the user can’t change them. If that means those are bit reviews then I guess I’m a bot as well.

Interesting, what brand and how many hours per day do you read?
- Comment on Amazon is making it impossible to remove the DRM from Kindle Books 2 weeks ago:
I thought I would use it to read Wikipedia pages but it turns out I only really read Wikipedia when I am encountering a link on my phone or PC and while I have it set up to sync links I save to the reader, since I want to read the thing right away I’m not gonna bother switching devices. Same with articles, I never find myself switching devices to read one. Maybe it would be different if I had a daily newsletter I’d read on it but I don’t use those, while I could use the ones from my library they are always lent out at the times I’d read them.
As for writing, my device is a standard 6 inch one which I’d find too small to write on, as I already own a laptop as well which is simply more ergonomic for writing. I also tried reading manga on it for which android has some great apps, but turns out I don’t enjoy manga as a medium at all.
I do love the ereader for actually reading books, it’s so comfortable but that’s the one feature I could have on any generic one. And like I said, I use it for about 2-3 hours a day and I find myself charging it once a week. - Comment on Amazon is making it impossible to remove the DRM from Kindle Books 2 weeks ago:
I have an android based ereader and honestly I would buy a cheaper non android one if I had to replace it. I never really use any app besides the reader app and the battery only lasts a few days max. Non android ones last way longer because they have no stuff running in the background.
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks 5 weeks ago:
Oh wow I didn’t know the fleas moved there. Mine are still in greymore, maybe I should talk to them again sometime. I did get an achievement that I have half the fleas so I’m still missing a lot.
Ye I also don’t think it’s unreasonable, like I said I’m super rusty from not playing hk for quite a while. I do feel like a lot of people just forgot how hk played. I’m having a blast with the game so far, it’s lovely.
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks 5 weeks ago:
The paid one time bench thing etc is for a narrative reason, the main point of the story as far as I played is about the church scamming people on every occasion. Money won’t be an issue once you reach act 2, I always have more money then I can spend even after buying out all merchants I’ve seen.
As for no benches in front of bosses it’s to discourage throwing yourself at the boss without reflecting on where to improve. The long runs I saw people complain about also were mostly like 2 screens. Worst bossrun so far was probably the judge which was only like 2 screens when you think about it.
I really enjoy the game so far, I’m about half way through act 2 I’d say so maybe it gets super hard later, but right now I think it’s very balanced between a bit challenging but not frustrating. I do feel that the game was created with players like me in mind, someone who did all pantheon, steal souls as well as all achievements in hk but is a little bit rusty from the long wait.

No one has to like everything. Everyone has different taste, some things align with more people, some with less. There are thousands of games / books / songs I don’t like but you don’t see me announcing that to the world whenever they are brought up.
- Comment on Gamers frustrated as Hollow Knight: Silksong crashes stores on launch 5 weeks ago:
What drama queens. The store was down for an hour tops. After 7 years who cares about one hour longer. It’s nice to see how much demand there is for indie games, they are the last bastion of this art form.

You don’t have to buy it! Wild concept but it’s true
- Comment on CrankBoy - the original Game Boy game emulator for the Playdate console (my article) 1 month ago:
This article isn’t about the playdate, it’s an article about an emulation software someone wrote that runs on the playdates hardware, so you won’t get a detailed explanation about the playdate as a general device there.
The playdate is a novelty device that anyone can develop Minigames for which use the crank for their gameplay. It is several years old at this point. It’s also very expensive for what it is so if you’re not a fan of just having little novel devices with not much use there is no reason to buy one. It is indeed a tough sell for most people but they have their own demographic of enthusiasts.
- Comment on CrankBoy - the original Game Boy game emulator for the Playdate console (my article) 1 month ago:
The crank is the sole reason this thing exists. If you want an emulation handheld to play Gameboy games without a crank there are countless options out there.

Next time reply “it’s the same for me when I see you in a T-shirt” and see how they like it.
- Comment on THIS is true wisdom 1 month ago:
Reminds me of an old office that changed their policy so that you needed a doctors note for even a single sick day. They thought it would keep people from calling out for a day for headaches. All it did was cause all previous 1 day sicknesses to be extended to 3-5 days because no doctor here writes a note for anything less.

That one is so nice, are there more in that style, where it’s hidden things + cool 3d Background? The ones I usually see are only a hidden object in random noise background

A bee is not a type of wasp. They are both Hymenoptera, one of the 4 types of insects, but that would be the same as saying a dog is a kind of human because both are Eutheria.
- Comment on What's up with all the moth memes? 3 months ago:
It’s really interesting how there are quite a few people who don’t realize it’s only one person posting them. Like yesterday I was talking to someone who complained about ‘all the people’ posting moths and it was quite funny when he realized it really was just one single user. I guess not many looks at the usernames.
