Alt Text: The image shows Hyrule Castle from the game Super Smash Bros., divided into various sections with humorous labels. The top part of the castle is labeled 'Weenie Hut Junior,' the middle portion is 'Hyrule Fight Club,' and the bottom section has multiple smaller zones labeled 'Death or Glory,' 'Freedom,' 'Literally nobody wants to be here,' and one simply labeled 'F***.' Kirby, the pink round character from the game, is floating on the right side with his name 'KIRBY' next to him."

Took me a few months, but so happy it's finally finished! I think it turned out pretty nice.

Sharing this here because Team Kirby Clash & Kirby and the Rainbow Curse both have SpotPass data that needs to be preserved.

(MAJOR UPDATE: ONLY 10 HRS REMAIN BEFORE SHUT DOWN AT TIME OF WRITING THIS UPDATE)

Hello everyone. For everyone who owns a 3DS, 2DS, or even a Wii U, I'm sharing this out to as many places I can think of, where the awareness can make an impact. Please read if you own a 3DS or Wii U at all, or know anybody who does:

The SpotPass servers by Nintendo will be shutting down on April 8th, 2024 (4PM PDT). The SpotPass Archival Project has been created by the 3DS and Wii U Homebrew modding community, to make sure as much SpotPass data as humanly possible is preserved for the foreseeable future and not lost forever in the coming few days. A huge amount of SpotPass content is essentially free DLC for various games and apps, and they could have been installed without your knowledge. They are not required for most games to play, but without their archival, many games will lose DLC content permanently and some features may no longer work. This archival project can only be made possible by the donations of any individuals owning a 3DS or Wii U (not a donation of money, but rather a donation of SpotPass data stored on your system)

This data can only be collected before April 8th. Any and all dumps made or sent after the end-date will be useless due to the nature of how the archive process works. The dump does not require you to have a modded or Homebrewed console, and can be done completely unmodded. All you need extra as an unmodded user, is a PC or laptop. There is also zero risk of having your console banned; so rest assured. The guides can be found here: https://spotpassarchive.github.io/#guides.

Update: For those who can't recall the difference, what we're archiving here is SpotPass, not StreetPass. The difference between the two are: StreetPass: Is a 3DS exclusive offline wireless tech which connects your 3DS to other systems and shares various bits of data with random people you pass on the street (in the real world). For example, in the game StreetPass Mii Plaza, the data sent to random passers are your Mii, along with your most recently played game, and your Mii can be played with in the various minigames that StreetPass Mii Plaza offers, and vice versa. SpotPass: Is an online wireless tech available on both the 3DS and Wii U. Unlike StreetPass, it does not connect to other 3DS systems directly, but rather connects to Nintendo's SpotPass servers online. The data sent could be anything from notifications, to in-game content. This is what we're archiving; not StreetPass data. Streetpass is not an online service, and thus does not lose content after April 8th; but SpotPass data will be lost after the 8th if it's not archived. Wikipedia article.

Even if you make the dump before April 8, and send it to them afterwards, the dump will be useless regardless, this is why we are frantically trying to spread the word about the project as quickly as possible, as there is a lot of data that is still going to go away permanently regardless of the efforts of this project. The data is stored offline locally on your 3DS and Wii U, so you may be confused as to why you can't just make the dump after the date. For a better explanation, here is a Discord message from the official Discord server which explains things. I am not a developer of the project, I'm just someone who is passionate about gaming and technology preservation, and wants to get this out there, and the 3DS was a wonderful part of my late childhood.

The data is going to be used by the developers to put towards developing a replacement for the SpotPass network, similar to what was done by the Homebrew community who created the Nintendo Network replacement, dubbed "Pretendo Network".

Even if you don't think you have much data on your system, please help dump it towards the archive as soon as possible (within the next couple of days), because you likely have some things you don't know about. The process does not require a modded console at all, and the official site here, has instructions for both users of modded consoles, and users of unmodded consoles. You can ask for help in the official Discord server of the project here and people will be very willing to help.

There are also many many niche, lesser known games, which have absolutely no data archived for them still to this day, so any help archiving them is vital. Thanks for reading, and I ask you to also share this out to as many people as you possibly can. Even if you don't own a 3DS or Wii U, please share this out to anyone you know who owns one, or even those whom you suspect might have one.

Edit: added some extra information, removed some no longer relevant information, fixed some typos, improved some wording slightly.

Alt Text: Split Image (top and bottom) that says "If Kirby wore jeans, would Kirby wear them like this" and then an image of a round Kirby barely in a pair of jeans. Below it is the caption "or like this?" And it's a sexy Kirby with some thicc cheeks in pants while wearing high heels while winking.

Sup Kirby Lemmy! It’s KirbySSM here, seemingly part of the group of the only active posters here.

Anyways, I’ve started a Kirby Matrix server! Figured you guys might be interested, considering you’re on the fediverse and all.

https://matrix.to/#/%23kirby-gang%3Akirbygang.com

#kirby-general:kirbygang.com is for just general discussion about anything

#kirby-games:kirbygang.com is all about Kirby’s games, whether discussion or finding someone to play with you

#warpstar-inc:kirbygang.com is for Kirby Anime, Manga, Kirby Cafe, Kirby Merch, and anything Kirby outside of the games

#lore-starcutter:kirbygang.com is all about the Kirby lore.

There’s many other places too that you can check out on there, the topic should describe each channel well!

Looking forward to seeing some of you guys there! This is my first time running and really using Matrix, so excuse any difficulties. You can message me @KirbySSM:matrix.org. If you message my @kirbygang.com account, I might not see it until later.

Poor guy is just hanging out in the woods and we come along and punch him in the face till he cries.

[image: "Bad Syndrome" meme

(wikipedia page: elfilin Syndrome)

"Instead of brain there is chimchila"

(page image: happy elfilin instead of brain, as per description)
(caption: look at him!!!)

(instead of empty space there is more chimchila:

• elfilin
• elfilin mask
• elfilin magnet
• elfilin plush
• elfilin from music festival

)

table of contents:

1. Treatment
   1. why would you want treatment
   2. drink lots of apple juice (inflicts bandee syndrome)

]

this idea randomly spawned into what would be my brain if i didn't have elfilin syndrome. please enjoy the chimchilapost

made with paint.net
meme template taken from know your meme
all elfilin images from wikirby

[provided image description (by the artist): Bunch of doodles of Elfilin trying some different Halloween costumes for fun :p

further description (by me, not the artist): on one side of the image, kirby and elfilin trick-or-treating together in witch hats. on the other side, some drawings of elfilin in halloween costumes -- one where he's dressed up as fecto elfilis (big spear included), one where he's wrapped in bandages like a mummy, and one where he's wearing a pumpkin (he's not too thrilled about it).]

happy halloween, c/kirby! haven't really had the time to contribute to this community lately (and, by the looks of it, neither has anyone else), but i wasn't going to pass up the perfect opportunity to share this wonderful piece of art!

really nice elfilis costume! reminds me of those pokemon halloween fanart pieces where unevolved pokemon dress up as their evolutions

i was thinking about how elfilin was shaped like a heart for some kind of valentine's day concept. and then... that turned into the following kirby/deltarune crossover thing. spoilers for kirby and the forgotten land!
