I'm going to stand by what Retro Game Corps stated that they don't want to advocate for piracy. Lawful backup of your own games is protected. The aggression against Russ and others is uncalled for.

Well hang tight there, the games are dope. Just the legal dicks are the scumbags.

I've been gradually building up my Switch digital and physical library and stuff like this makes me want to just switch back to Steam and spend my dollar elsewhere.

The strikes are absolutely frivolous and Russ sets a great anti piracy example for others. Backups of your own content are protected.

Yes, variety in that there are multiple current gen systems available for consumers and one of them is portable and affordable. Nintendo plays their hits just as much as the others.

Over the years I've gotten rid of every console except for my Nintendo consoles. Sure their hardware is not cutting edge but I don't really care because I always enjoy myself when I play my Nintendo consoles.

If you want the 202[3/4/5] version of COD at 4k 60fps then an Xbox is probably more suited to you. Nintendo just isn't going after that segment. The variety is a good thing.

At one point I had been playing GTA V online pretty consistently when I had a cheater start targeting me. It was pretty frustrating and after 30 minutes of that I gave up and closed down for the day. I shifted my attention to other games after that. I definitely get that they want to stop cheaters - cheaters ruin the fun for others. It's a shame that the new anti cheat has made it so that Steam Deck players are stuck unable to play online.

I believe this is the episode HERE

Maybe I didn't state it well, but homeless by choice is maybe slightly different than how I imagine it. I imagine it might be more like complacency like how some people never leave entry level jobs.

I truly struggle with what is the right way to think about the homeless debate. My partner and I debated it a few weeks back after listening to an episode of The Daily on the subject. We were both undecided.

On one hand, we should be humane to those in need.

On the other hand, some peoples situations are a result of their own making, and they are content living without. Regardless of how homeless people come to be that way, they often litter the streets with piss, trash, and drugs, making an otherwise fine area feel dirty and dangerous. Will expanded homeless housing help them get back up on their feet or enable them to continue their current lifestyle?

I don't know what the right answer is.

Yeah I suppose if the convenience is worth it. To me it's odd to rent anything - especially retro games.

For some I'm sure it might have value but I can't imagine subscribing to a service to play retro games. Dozens of excellent retro handhelds exist with no monthly fee to fiddle with.

I work just outside of the Pease air force base and drank the coffee and water for ages. They were on the base well system which was heavily contaminated. Thanks a bunch.

Links awakening is great. Past that some other GB titles:

Super Mario 2: 6 Golden Coins is incredible.

Tetris is great but I prefer the Rosy Retrospection hack. Maybe wait and see if Modretro releases the officially licensed Chromatic Tetris down the road. Chromatic Tetris is already being used in competitions and it looks incredible.
