Hey Militant Left, just because every question directed at you assumes you are an asshole, doesn’t mean the same applies to questions to other people

… why are you putting an apostrophe in McDole? The O-apostrophe in Irish names is an anglicisation of Ó, eg. Ó Briain becomes O’Brien. Mac Dól would become MacDole/McDole.

No that’s OK, pictures speak louder than words. Doesn’t matter that it’s RFA, images like the feature photo of the article deserve to be seen around the world. The utter devastation of… well… maybe a strong wind?

I care about news in a news community. Not 3 year old stories from America’s Asian propaganda outlet.

Trying to pollute the search results for “bomb schools”, Gedaliyah, govenor of Yehud, son of Akiham, son of Shaphan?

That would have been a great article to post here a year ago

Do we post opinion pieces on news communities now?

Be careful, I heard that having strong opinions on seed oils lowers your testosterone

One point to disagree on: less teens than ever are having sex, and with no actual experience, their imaginations are based on porn. No wonder they’re terrified of it, if their first impression is what comes up when you Google “boy girl have sex”.

Yes you are. But that’s not how school credit works?

Is that a school subject in America?

Which subject did “show up on time” give you credit towards?

Agile is explicitly a way for a team to be self-organising. What benefit do you get from it as a solo developer?

They were observed finding one ROM on the Internet, ever. They do have their own emulator(s).

Nintendo is a bunch of humans. If my boss asks me to see if I can find the installer for an old version of our software, you can bet I’ll check anywhere before volunteering to go scrape old hard drives.

They are not “banning” emulators. They take action against two sorts of problems: leaking, and distribution of copyrighted material. Yuzu was taken down because they stupidly started charging for help with playing Tears of the Kingdom before its release. Other emulators have been threatened because they included binary console OS software (rather than actually fully emulating the console itself) or actually distributed game ROMs.

Dolphin has been around for about 20 years now. Why? Because they don’t distribute copyrighted material, recommend against doing so, and don’t require to include any binaries from the console.

Here’s all they had to both say and adhere to, to “survive” the supposedly blood-hungry Nintendo for longer than some of the people reading this have been alive:

Where can I download game ISOs/ROMs?¶

Short answer: You don’t. Buy games and dump them with a Wii.

Long answer: Downloading commercial games is illegal and thus strongly frowned upon by the Dolphin developers. To prevent legal issues, this includes gray areas like downloading games which you purchased earlier. You don’t necessarily need to own a gaming console by yourself because you can buy a game disc and dump them with a friend’s console. On the other hand, copying a friend’s game dump is considered illegal again.

Also, lol @ the idea that it’s hypocrisy for them to use their own game files. You understand that’s what a ROM is, right? It isn’t magic. It’s just a binary file.

…

“Ripping” ROMs, or dumping them, takes almost no effort. If you have the cartridge reader its about as much work as taking photos off an SD card. Certainly nothing at all like cracking a game, which is pretty much software development.

Please consider informing yourself before forming strong opinions.

Just so we’re clear, are you under the impression that “ROMs acquired from the Internet” represent something other than Nintendo’s work?

Nope. Nothing at all happening lately, that’s why Gedaliyah, son of Akiham, son of Shaphan, is posting 7 year old news about a great power accused of genocide against its Muslim population.

I will repeat myself: nobody would know you were Jewish if you did not bring it up. I’m judging you by your “irrelevant” actions, not your heritage. Without bringing it up, you would be presumed just another miseducation Yankee who doesn’t (and never will, based on your 4 year old screenshot in your edit) understand that self-determination doesn’t come with “unless you decide to do it wrong”.
