Emulated on a PC.

In about '98, I discovered SNES9x. I had an SNES hooked up to my TV at the time, but as soon as I discovered how convenient it was to play on a PC instead, I just stopped using it and eventually boxed it up and put it away. And I haven’t looked back.

Cue Israel bombing the airport.

I would assume their totals aren’t going to change much but thry’ll lose some number of users from the UK and gain a more or less equal number of users from a seemingly random snd ever-changing assortment of other countries.

As far as genre statistics and the like go, I wouldn’t expect them to change other than as they generally do, just as tastes and trends change.

After reading through the other answers, I’m not sure of what to make of the fact that my first thought was coffee.

What it meant to me was that I had to unpin the link to my lemm.ee account from my Firefox home page.

It could’ve been the case that I would’ve had one less instance to choose from, but in the aftermath of the announcement, I found two new instances I wanted to try, so I’m actually one ahead in the long run.

And that’s it.

Sorry, but no. That’s just the paper-thin excuse.

Pirating, like pretty much anything else that’s sometimes a crime in the current US, is A-OK if you can buy enough judges and politicians.

Ah… yeah… I see it now. I took it wrong.

And yeah.

That’s the same reason that I do the opposite - I take an equal number from each end, so the remaining eggs are centered in the carton, so I’m never surprised by a carton that’s unbalanced in an unexpected direction.

Clearly he exemplifies the qualities the IDF values most, including brazenly engaging in indiscriminate slaughter of unarmed innocents.

Wow… I didn’t realize that got posted.

I wrote it out (mostly - I didn’t finish it), but then thought better of it, but I didn’t immediately delete it. Then later when I opened my screen, there it was, still. And I actuslly thought “Lucky I didn’t butt-post that.”

Apparently not.

Ah well…

Of course.

The overall dynamic surrounding Israel’s treatment of Palestinians is simple and obvious - Israel’s actions are entirely indefensible, so all the efforts of the people responsible for it and of the many more people enabling it are directed not toward countering criticism, which is impossible, but toward silencing it.

This is such a bizarrely evil timeline.

The mental gymnasics part is the claim that Bluesky is decentralized.

The Israeli mass slaughter of Palestinian men, women and children has made me wish, more than anything else in 50+ years on this Earth, that the Old Testament God actually existed.

Imagine the fire and brimstone He’d rain down on those patently evil motherfuckers.

And bonus points if He kvetched while he did it - “Here I went ahead and made you My chosen people and this is how you repay Me? If I’d known this was what you were going to do with your lives, I would’ve left you in the desert.”

Or better yet, use your own brain.

I’d never thought of it in these specific terms before, but the essentially educational and fear-ameliorating nature of your post led me to realize that it’s likely that a lot of what Nintendo’s doing with all of this legal barnstorming is essentially PR, and that’s all it’s meant to be.

They have little hope of actually winning cases or of doing anything more than cutting off one head of the hydra if they do, and all of their safeguards can be and will be worked around, repeatedly if necessary, so from a practical standpoint, they’re fighting a losing battle. But all of their noise and aggressive posturing likely serves to scare a lot of less-informed gamers into not emulating in the first place, so it furthers their goals anyway.

80 years of greed, hatred and lies has created a nation of psychopaths

And that’s why conservatives hate wikipedia.

even if it’s not quite as open as the alternative social network Mastodon, another decentralized X rival.

Mastodon can’t be “another” decentralized X rival, since it’s the only one of the two that actually is decentralized. BlueSky just pretends to be.

That’s what I’ve used for years now, and I have no problems with them.

I actually have three of them, of varying ages, all of which still work fine. The older ones have simple switch shoulder buttons and the newer ones have analog triggers, and that’s pretty much the only notable change they’ve made over the years.

The only “problem” I’ve run into with them is that the buttons and/or the pad will accumulate dust over time and stop working dependably, so I have to take them apart and clean the contacts every year or two. Which is very easy to do.
