There are far more pressing things in the world of censorship than this. What China does, that's censorship. What the UK Government wants to do, that's censorship. Changing someone's clothing... That's not. If a person was wearing a coat in the Arctic Circle, you wouldn't scream "That's censorship, you were wearing a bikini on the beach in Spain!"
@CapnKatz I hate the speed challenge in the second level. It feels so... dull.
On the Prime Factor Finder, I'm most proud that I beat their speed challenge. However, the code... not so good. I might get back onto challenges, but what I really want is some steam workshop support... It would be so great.
@CapnKatz No, that was 5 hours for the base. I probably have done most of the challenges however. In fact, here's a perfect time to show terrible code: https://youtu.be/7f-GcbQUMqU
Enjoy...
EDIT: I should make that clear, those challenges were the early on ones. Not the later ones.
5 hours for just the base without challenges against the claimed 1 hour.... Yep, that can only be described as wrong.
@CapnKatz Whilst the challenges are a big part, most people can't even solve the problems themselves, let alone do the challenges, unless it is one of the obvious ones. So for most people, completing the game is just get to the end, not the challenges. Completion time therefore is relatively low.
@Gridatttack "If there is enough demand, we may consider setting up another DNS server for tubehax which does not block traffic to Nintendo's servers."
Just to point out to everybody who thinks that Smealum did a bad thing in announcing Ironhax. Before, VdDev announced that they passed 300,000 downloads. Many being paid. Smealum himself told people to buy the full version. Now, after the announcement, "several hundred thousands of downloads" possibly doubling their existing user base. Many of them buying the game. Yes, Smealum obviously did a bad thing by making a game more widespread than it ever was and increasing their profits massively. VdDev, and so Nintendo, has made money from this.
If you want to stop people pirating, provide a better service. Nintendo do not provide a better service than Gateway, people pirate. Simple. People who say that these pirates should be stopped by bricking consoles -> 1) That would be illegal, and 2) it would not do a thing. The software is tested before release.
@daggdroppen why are you tired of pirates? Do they play load music at night?
Piracy is on the 3ds, get over it. Follow in the footsteps of GOG. However, there is one sure way to stop piracy -> http://youtu.be/ALZZx1xmAzg
Well, homebrew. Personally, I can't wait. To everyone thinking this will bring around piracy, it cannot. It just cannot. The exploit cannot be used to get kernel access which is required to pirate. Don't waste the typing time to say that.
Also, law. I know that British law says that you can do whatever you like to a product. It is yours. Services can be taken away from you, but with products, they can do NOTHING.
Homebrew is a great area. We can have so many games that no developer will, or has made. The DS had Aperture Science, DSDoom and Quake (and Quake 2) all made or remade for the DS. The 3DS will bring more awesomeness to it. DSx86 was awesome as well, you could play the old DOS games on a DS! People saying it will lead to piracy are wrong! People saying that homebrew games are turd are also, wrong! It's like saying hobbyist games (Gunpoint, Hotline Miami and many more) are bad!
Homebrew will happen, and it will be good. I support the movement, but you don't have to. If you truly have something wrong with homebrew and all of it's awesome, don't tell ANYBODY about it, because in the end, we don't care.

Re: Review: Human Resource Machine (Wii U eShop)
@CapnKatz I completed the game in 5 hours, and that's with a fair bit of programming knowledge. Spouting crap out the arse, I think.

@Gridatttack "If there is enough demand, we may consider setting up another DNS server for tubehax which does not block traffic to Nintendo's servers."
Re: 3DS Homebrew Hacker Turns to YouTube App As Latest Workaround for 'Tubehax'
@CB85 Because changing a DNS server is such hard work... I mean, it's a whole 4 taps.
Re: 3DS Homebrew Hacker Turns to YouTube App As Latest Workaround for 'Tubehax'
@CB85 Apart from that wouldn't work. Tubehax involves a DNS server which blocks Nintendo's update server along with the EShop. So no forced updates.
Re: 3DS Homebrew Hacker Turns to YouTube App As Latest Workaround for 'Tubehax'
@Miles_Edgeworth Homebrew is the term for a program not made by an official entity.
