Wut

Definitely JK Rowling's fault that your shit books cant get deals.

They hate her because she gives as good as she gets. That 100% gets under their skin.

Yep, she doesn’t curl up and hide from their accusations like others who are less financially blessed. She’s an affront to their religion of social cancellation.

While I generally agree, I also have to argue that the way someone looks is an extension of their personality and how they think about themselves.

Sucks to be you Little Timmy. Hope Papa Nintendo rereleases Super Mario Galaxy 2 cause wanting to replay or emulate an older game (And there are thousands of games that will never get rereleased) and systems that are long discontinued is entitlement. 

It is funny how they go on about Captialism bad and all that and then they turn around and side with literally the Richest Company in Japan.

Comeon C'mon son!

They're making $30k a month from patreon and paywalling access to the latest builds behind that same patreon.
They have builds playing the latest titles before they hit retail.

They're not in it for 'preservation'.

Also emulators for modern consoles are trash, they never fucking work with all the BIOS shit and bloated settings and everything.

Yeah sure your game renders at 4K but it's also missing effects, has an FPS graph with the stability of a dying meth addict and crashes every other hour.
No bro, you have to set the Z-buffer slider to 3 and use the WaifuGlide64 render instead of DirectSoftX. Also put it in admin mode and disable your Windows firewall and enable Application Scaling in the Nvidia control panel.

Oh, you downloaded the 0.6 beta? You should roll back to the 0.4 Alpha if you want to play Super Mario Wonder, they're working on fix, You can fork it from CuckBlasterCubes repository on GitHub. Oh his account got banned, well this MegaUpload link has a copy of the file the password is: 398408u4dickwad934.

The old emulators were golden though, you had something called NESticle, which literally had a testicle as a cursor and you could throw any crazy ass hacked translated Dragonball Z rom in it and it would run like a charm. Same for GBA and SNES. All the 3D stuff though, fucking horrible.

you joke somewhat, but literally just discovered this is the case for PSP peace walker

if you run it in the most common latest emulator, for years now, you can't start most missions because the game thinks you haven't brought along gear you need for the mission

you have to roll back to some ancient outdated version of the emulator, or else make a bunch of nonsensical changes about connecting to a fake virtual sony online service or some shit

Back on the topic of volunettering and helping others and such, I was involved in a large multi-contident United Nations HABITAT project for developing public spaces in developing countries from the age of 19-24 and I did that from the comfort of my own room entirely too. So people can still impact the outside world and do good while not going out into the world.
