I tried to read the attack on titan manga years ago. I bought a manga at Barnes and noble and thought it was a decent price. But then I read the entire book in like 20 minutes and thought to myself that I way over spent on the book.

I regretted that purchase. Maybe it’s worth while if you want to look at the art for a long time, but I just wanted the story.

Nice try FBI 😎

Apple did something a while back to limit nsfw stuff on iOS. There was a setting in discord that you had to change to see nsfw stuff and some communities you had to join it from the desktop before you could view it on the phone.

I’m remembering more now, Apple had a policy that was like we might block your app if it’s for nsfw. So some apps got worried and limited nsfw stuff on iOS.

I love this app. Occasional bugs, but I can’t complain.

Sadly

I’m done with Nintendo. I’ll not buy their games or consoles moving forward.

I still have every Nintendo console back to the nes, not counting the virtual boy.

I buy their games. I know yuzu can be used for piracy but it’s not the only use. Nintendo should have gone after pirates instead of the emulator developer.

I’d like to read into it a bit.

It said they put a lawyer on retainer which tells me they are planning to fight it.

If they just wanted a lawyer to review the case, they would have just paid for legal research or a consultation.

So I think this tells us a bit.

I’m totally donating if they decide to fight it.

The fact that they put the lawyer on retainer tells me that they want to fight it.

Otherwise they would have just paid for the consultation and shutdown the project.

I totally bought stardew valley and recommened this game a bunch of times to people after “trying” it. In fact, I have bought it twice on PC, once on Switch, and on iOS.

I would also like to add that piracy does not equate to a loss in sales.

There are plenty of things I would never spend money on, but I would check/try them out of they were free.

For example, a VR headset. I will never buy one since I get dizzy too easily generally. But, if there was one that I could try for free I’d try it.

So, If im using one at a library, it does not mean that a sale was lost. It just means I find the value of this thing to be less than what you are charging for it.

Yuzu did not pirate the game. Other people did. What did Yuzu do that was illegal?

Did the movie studies sue dvd player makers because people ran pirated movies on them?

I’m not in the US, so the options I had here were either expensive or didn’t have any reviews.

I’ve been wanting a steamdeck for some time and that is what pushed me to get one.

Nintendo is basically saying that they are guilty of enabling piracy.

That same argument would paint gun makers as guilty of enabling murder and crime. Nintendo should really be going after rom sharing sites. That’s totally legit, but not the emulation devs.

If they have a fund for legal costs I’ll donate.

You know why I played the games on yuzu? It’s because the joycons suck and they are expensive to replace.

I did the stick drift repair on my own, but the L and R buttons are soldiered to the main board so it can’t be repaired.

I bought a right joycon on its own and then the next week the left joycon had the same issue.

I wasn’t going to spend about $90 for an unreliable controller when an entire steamdeck costs $500.

It really paints the picture that the controllers are way over priced how can they alone be 20% the cost of the entire steamdeck.

If Nintendo made decent joycons, then I would not be using Yuzu.

Additionally, I dumped my own games and keys, so they got their money and through some effort, I got a better experience.

I’d like to add that the joycons were not heavily used either.

Being blocked in Italy would be my worst case scenario.

Why wouldn’t it connect?

Unless they block my specific IP address then? It will work. And if they block my ip address, then I can just get a new one pretty easily.

It’s more about professional contacts.

Ok

It’s not international travel. I live with my wife in her country. International calling and texting is expensive.

So I can just get a use an iPhone with iMessage or convince my immediate and extended family and professional contacts to use a different chatting app.

It’s just easier to use an iPhone.
