An interactive graph/database, enabling you to track Trump's extraordinary lie/exaggeration count in great detail. You can even search by date, topic, and sources! Neat!

@suarez_m_172 @haruharuusausa1 Just Google IJS Zelda tutorial

@XLuis__MartinsX @TRIPSTER0 If someone who was NEVER going to buy a game downloads it online instead, where is the lost income?

That's one of the biggest holes in piracy "hurting developers" logic.

The revenue actually lost is negligible. "Piracy" is also one of the only ways to try before you buy.

[Christopher Gibbons @wtfguysnotcool]

@GASEEKERS Doesn't really matter. The users never needed it. The developers who will use it to find and create permanent exploits won't update and will continue to find new entry points.

[Christopher Gibbons @wtfguysnotcool]

@GazociaG @VideoArtGame Oh it began day 1. There's already a bunch of other crazy shit too. You can effectively hit the sky box with an actor jump.

@tamagochi_game @Vespher Buffering in this remake is WAY easier than N64/3DS versions by miles.

[Christopher Gibbons @wtfguysnotcool]

@LoserMonkey666 @CentroLeaks I haven't dabbled yet, but yeah something akin to it. The important part is they have the internal operating system and other modules dumped to be researched and hacked for better and possibly permanent entry points.

[Christopher Gibbons @wtfguysnotcool]

@BentoDoesThings I agree completely. Most piracy falls into either the category of "i can't afford it" or "I was never going to buy it anyways," so not much was lost in sales either way.

There are thise who WOULD'VE bought it without emu existence, but they're the minority.

[Christopher Gibbons @wtfguysnotcool]

@statusIRL @0400c3f00006e00 They knew they'd get banned. Almost like they don't care because there's really not much worth playing online on the switch 2 anyways.

[Christopher Gibbons @wtfguysnotcool]

@Maddog12968 @0400c3f00006e00 Almost everybody knew it would happen, did it anyways. Pretty sure that was the case here as well.

[Christopher Gibbons @wtfguysnotcool]

@BentoDoesThings @ZikadaPrime There's also "Try before you buy." That has saved me from buying SO MANY games that aren't worth 5$, let alone 50$+ over the last 25 years.

If I like it, I buy it. Good argument for more demos. FF Resonance did it right with theirs.

[Christopher Gibbons @wtfguysnotcool]

@sousa_gif @wndrfell Doesn't matter in the long run. They'll be banned from online permanently soon. Should've waited for a REAL softmod with EmuNAND.

[Christopher Gibbons @wtfguysnotcool]

@wutadam139 @wndrfell Doing this gets them banned, and they know that. It'll return to normal when the ban waves roll out gor anybody who jumped the gun and modded without waiting for proper EMMUC.

Happened on switch 1, happening again.

[Christopher Gibbons @wtfguysnotcool]

@teknolojesus @JamesDude100 @CentroLeaks The damage is already done, though. The smart ones who aren't posting every little thing have already gone about dumping entire Switch 2 internal modules. They quietly staying offline, which is the best move for advancement of homebrew and softmods/jailbreaking.

[Christopher Gibbons @wtfguysnotcool]

@STRIMANDO They don't give you a whole ass extra screen. You just get an error message.

[Christopher Gibbons @wtfguysnotcool]

@STRIMANDO Fake. They just disable all of your internet features forever.

[Christopher Gibbons @wtfguysnotcool]

@LoserMonkey666 @CentroLeaks No, they got the switch 2 internal OS as well, all the way down to boot level iirc. Now it's just a matter if exploiting it.

[Christopher Gibbons @wtfguysnotcool]

@gunnmask @CentroLeaks Doesn't matter. It enabled complete firmware and game dumps, meaning devs now have access to switch internal systems/software to fund hardware exploits. The can of worms has been opened. No closing it without a hardware revision.

[Christopher Gibbons @wtfguysnotcool]

@synnadine @omari_memes Seeing thay first image being used as bait is like a whole thing this week, I guess.

[Christopher Gibbons @wtfguysnotcool]

@Ayece_ @TaroTheCerelean It's happening either way. At least with Jailbreaks/soft mods, we'll have some semblance of control left.

Nintendo makes my favorite games, but "try before you buy" has repeatedly saved me from buying some absolute duds over the years.

[Christopher Gibbons @wtfguysnotcool]

@Znaz43241176 @TaroTheCerelean That, and it's EXTREMELY likely that even if the ENTIRE game fits on the cart, it'll require some sort up update/server authentication before being able to be played. So the "preserving physical media" doesn't hold up without a work around in most cases. A mod, for example.
