Re: Not Tonight Is A Post-Brexit Role-Playing Game With A Healthy Dose Of Political Satire

Jeeeesus, you linked videos from "End Times Productions" and "ThoughtCrime7" with total clickbait titles, then said "I'm not a conspiracy nut". Your whole thing is just self-defeating.

Take your own damn advice and "think between the lines" about your choice of news source. I ain't tellin you to watch CNN or MSNBC (here's something you need to realize, ALL JOURNALISM IS INHERENTLY BIASED) but when your linked source is "After Watching This You'll Never Trust The Corporate Media Again".......

.....

.....just lol

@sillygostly No actually, it's called having a job at a local city hall and also lobbying for non-profits and volunteering for mayoral candidates. Getting a job, hence why I've barely touched this site since 2014.

Unfortunately, it seems during that time of absence, the demographics have shifted down to Generation Z, hence this conspiracy nonsense. Try reading up on how this country's political system works.

EDIT: I just saw, you're from Australia. You have NO IDEA how ludicrous this garbage is in this country right now, and I can barely speak to Australia's climate myself (I'm studying domestic policy rn)

Re: Sorry Netflix Fans, You Won't Be Watching Stranger Things On Your Switch Anytime Soon

@JaxonH Yes but there's a difference between "focusing your messaging" and omitting the basics contained on virtually every other digital gaming platform. (Who the eff would rather watch Netflix on their 240p 3DS?) Also, even "focusing your messaging" is a dumbarse excuse to not tap into the massives of video streaming (as someone who barely plays games these days, only one out of five in my household uses the PS4 for anything other than streaming since like 2015).

Keep in mind I actually DON'T think this is a result of Nintendo's wishes, I simply think this is timing the market.

Re: Nintendo President Satoru Iwata Passes Away Aged 55

rayword45

For all intents and purposes, I've heard nothing but completely wholehearted compliments regarding Iwata's personality, with most people comparing his leadership favorably to Sony and claiming he ran Nintendo like a wonderful family (not taking into account how that would go for business, it obviously meant the atmosphere was pleasant).

May his family have peace.

Re: Video: WarioWare Touched! Arrives On Wii U Virtual Console

rayword45

This game is extremely meh, or at least is very meh relatively, because the touch screen can really only do so much regarding microgames.

I for one am still adamant that my opinion of the best WarioWare (Smooth Moves) is blatantly and objectively correct.

On a more serious note, WarioWare 3D when? I know it's probably never at this point but hot damn did they miss a barrage of great possibilities with analog control, 3D, and gyroscope in one console.

@Dolphin64 If the stars align crookedly and you have offspring, tell your kids' science teachers about the powers of cherries, they'll probably point to the classic "grape cure" and other horseshe like "psychic surgery" then laugh in your face and call Child Protective Services.

If cherries were the cure to cancer then they'd cost a lot more, I'll tell you that.

Re: Harmonix Explains Why Rock Band 4 Isn’t Coming to Wii U, But Doesn't Rule it Out

Again, people saying "don't be a loser and play real instruments" are being ignorant. Playing rhythm games has no similarities to real instruments, the most it does is perhaps influencing one to pick up real instruments, which it most definitely did for me.

Why play sports games when you can go outside?
Why play simulation games when you can just live life?
Why play Diner Dash when you can open a restaurant?
Why play shooter games when you can go out to war?

Re: Weirdness: Club Nintendo Members Attempt to Sell Flipnote Studio 3D Codes on eBay

rayword45

@Dauntless I thought that selling this was asinine, but you raise a pretty good perspective.

I have two codes somehow. I personally would sell it for 4 or 5 bucks if I wasn't planning to give it to a friend who doesn't use Club Nintendo.

At the same time I doubt anyone will buy this not because of the free availability but because there's no internet sharing. Not even QR Code sharing FFS.

Re: Nintendo's 'Stability' 3DS Update 9.5.0-22 Takes On Gateway Flashcard

rayword45

@Sakura Thank you, I forgot to mention that bit. Nintendo is biting themselves in the gonads if they think that region locking is a smart idea. Releasing worldwide may not always be financially viable, but region locking on the other hand is the STUPIDEST thing they could possibly do, as people will always look for a way to get past that, which will inevitably lead to piracy. Plus there's no reason to do it, it's completely indefensible. Some people say "well then people will import to get games cheaper" but

A. How often are imported games actually cheaper? I'd argue rarely.
B. IF THAT'S THE CASE CHARGE LESS IMBECILES

FWIW they should also provide something to please the homebrew developers. I'm not gonna waste time explaining the PS3 and Sony's failure again but you look it up.

Re: Nintendo's 'Stability' 3DS Update 9.5.0-22 Takes On Gateway Flashcard

The music industry has suffered the brunt of piracy, much, much harder than gaming (Music has been estimated at a 100:3 piracy-buyer ratio). In the face of this, most musicians have declared that they prefer people listening to their music than being limited by shoddy record labels. Yeah there are jackarses like Eminem but who cares? Those who are actively against it are on the losing side of an endless battle, meanwhile those who don't care tend to be happy with concert ticket revenue.

I'm not saying Nintendo should embrace piracy necessarily, but I think they should learn to live with it because it's not gonna stop. Look at Valve for example, they're a platform on the most pirated system there is, and they're happy.

@amstans and ostensibly many other people - The argument that piracy isn't the same as theft is one I agree with but that's honestly subjective enough that I'm not gonna advocate it. What I will say is that it would be illegal for Nintendo to brick every Gateway user. If it was solely piracy oriented that might be something else (I have no idea) but the 0.1 percent that use it for backup installation to system and homebrew only means that Nintendo can't touch it.

The Sky3DS on the other hand has nothing but piracy unless you want the stupidest backup system possible, still not blocked.

Re: Video: YouTube's Gaming Historian Takes Offense At One Element Of Mario's Game Boy Past

rayword45

I'm not appreciative of how my comments are deleted yet all these comments of "you people need thicker skin" are somehow left to stay.

But, regardless, @OnionOverlord speaks the most intelligence here by far. I admit that I'm very presumptive about the race of other commenters, but that lies in the fact that the US is about 73 percent Caucasian and Europe about 90 percent. I also very much agree that it's bizarre that the author of this article thinks that stereotypes like a poncho and Sombrero are A-OK. If I may argue anything, it's that the US culture is, without doubt, white dominated and white run (don't try to argue this), so that is why I claim that white commenters (which I am presuming their race) really have no standing in "you need thicker skin". Because, WITHIN THE US, racism applies to every other race (yes I know about Irish discrimination and whatnot).

Also, Mario is definitely a walking Italian stereotype, but he's like Chico Marx. He's way too awesome to be offensive.

On another note, I agree that this is definitely a very clickbaity article, and NintendoLife is generally against political debate so I dunno why they'd post something like this.

Re: Squeeze Begins on NINJHAX Homebrew Exploit in Most Recent 3DS System Update

rayword45

@BLPs You started with a rhetorical question and used an emoticon signifying frustration in spite of your misinformation.

I never ONCE called you an idiot, and if I am claiming superiority you can claim it back by looking for 5 seconds on this site, or even less on GBATemp. Regardless, let's stop the acrimony for now.

By the way, "horseshe" is me using a creative way to express my mind as clear as I can while staying within the boundaries of the rules. Not so much creative actually, since I'm stealing the idea from 12 Oz Mouse.

Re: Squeeze Begins on NINJHAX Homebrew Exploit in Most Recent 3DS System Update

rayword45

@BLPs You get "merry hell" because you spout nonsense. The information on this website alone will tell you you CAN block a flashcart via software and don't need a pack of lawyers. And you act as if patching Ninjhax was effortless as if it makes Nintys plan of action any less confusing and deplorable, when it wasn't.

Also, to counter the other claim, it took a few months for one guy to develop a SNES emulator on homebrew with limited resources so I'm sure Nintendo could crap out the entire SNES library onto the eShop if they wanted to.

Re: Squeeze Begins on NINJHAX Homebrew Exploit in Most Recent 3DS System Update

rayword45

@BLPs Yeah, don't give me that emoticon when you have no idea what you're talking about, and this is coming from someone with far less hacking knowledge than others.

People don't report Sky3DS as much as Ninjhax but if Nintendo took 10 seconds to look up the 3DS hacking scene, which they probably did, it's pretty notorious and available for sale on all of the same websites that sell the ultrafamous R4s.

It's not "find a single page and patch it" for Ninjhax. If it was that easy, they would've done it within MINUTES of it coming out. They definitely had to out some effort into finding where the breaking point was.

And your last paragraph is complete horseshe and you know it. They block flashcarts ALL THE DAMN TIME.
