Generally, this. I feel like its my fault if a joke on the Internet is getting too old.

I'm pretty proud of the fact that I self-moderated my internet use so well, I never learned the words to "Let it Go" until someone decided it was good to start playing it as holiday music at my workplace a while back.

And i that case, I got paid to get frostrolled, or whatever it was called

(Still though, there's limits to this kind of thinking. its a useful coping mechanism for dumb shit, but a therapist did point out that its actually pretty unhealthy with genuinely abusive situations. So be cognizant of blame assignment!)

I'm kinda sad that I've fallen out of touch with competitive pokemon, because that's the one time where my hobby totally felt like code.

You can do this? I hate the left swipe crap stuck on my phone so much I pretended it doesn't exist; I didn't know you could customize it.

Depends, really. Some just feel squicky about breaking copyright law.

NGL I kinda feel a bit obligated to be extra careful out of deference to a relative's relationship to a lawyer, haha.

But in general, I try to conduct myself in the model of the ideal world I want to live in, if I can.

In the best world, there's no piracy because everyone gets their fair dues, and users get fair access to their purchased goods. But I also ain't judging others who do pirate or do other stuff with their own things, because we definitely don't live in that world, and corporations do not deserve to have a monopoly on access to media like that.

And, really, its just not right. As a fan of classic, old games, I can't respect not technically pirating entirely, when it means the loss of amazing games. Like the amazing 3DS Virtual Boy emulation projects! Or just soooo many classic, otherwise lost adventure games.

I'm probably not going to wind up playing those, but the world is worse if not for people technically pirating.

Do you know of good alternatives?

Well, I got a phishing call from Ohio so that's not a problem anymore...

A game about the hover boots from OoT if they were the shit instead of just involuntary ice skates.

Like, everyone loves your kicks. The bad guy loves your kicks. They're fun to use, so the player loves your kicks

I mean, I would unironically dig that aesthetic updated with the bluejeans meme. The coat could be super comfy if it didn't get paired with aweful breeches/bloomers or whatever you call those janky ass knickers.

...But the meme would probably just Jeg up the lawn and wig

I'd go with clear cabinet bumpers like this until you can come up with some kind of solution:

They're great to have around for my dog, who has been blind all her life. Probably good to keep around for a small child, for when you discover that they grew two inches overnight and their head found a new cabinet to gravitate to.

I slap em all over the place.

I actually paid someone to rip my WiiU BotW for me years ago because I like being legit legit, but most people either feel like its morally 100% fine to download a copy if they bought one, or don't even know that its technically not legal.

Ripping your own ROMs tends to put your system at risk of bricking or being banned from online play. Its just not a desirable thing to do, so fans who care enough about the game to see it run at q higher quality or with lovingly crafted mods are very likely the ones who already purchased the game and are downloading a new copy.

I would love to see Yuzu run a poll to see how many people already purchased the game. Even if its anecdotal, maybe it would prove a point that people are crying out for more content and will go to illegal means to get it

My pup had a favorite toy- a little Dachshund stuffy- and she went and dropped it in the toilet.

So, of course, it got one hell of a sterilizing bath, but somehow cleaning the thing just ruined it for her.

Villain origin story right there.
