$50 can be a lot for some people, but certainly for the DS games and those remasters (along with Breath of the Wild), it could be worth it for many.

Honestly, a Wii is kinda the ultimate gamecube for the average person, as that has 100% backwards compatibility, are dirt cheap, have widely available composite cables that are 20x cheaper than the rare gamecube ones, gives you access to the Wii library, and also the ability to easily softmod them to then access the high seas and emulation of 16-bit and 8-bit consoles.

Does there exist a STEAMpunk genre? It would be cool.
The closest to that would be hard sci-fi, where many authors were in STEM fields and used that background in their writings, or wrote stories based around their real life STEM field (this is often the case in Analog Magazine).
Some were punk in the solarpunk/cyberpunk sense, as they were often anti-authoritarian, and sometimes even anticapitalist.
As an example, The Dispossessed by Ursula Le Guin was about a mathematician who lives on a planet with a mostly Anarchist society (it's a great read).

Bear in mind that only the older revisions of the Wii have GameCube controller and memory card ports, the later revisions removed them (though they can still play GameCube ISO's from the SD card if softmodded, which works well with the Wii Classic controller).

Personally I don't find the Wii U's catalog compelling enough for the higher price compared to a Wii, and apparently Wii games can look better on a soft-modded wii compared to running them on a Wii U, but for those who like the Wii U's catalog it probably is the ultimate version.

What's something that Reddit has, that you wished Lemmy had too
Reply in thread
I feel I'm already at my limit with how many communities I moderate and try to post in, combined with being an admin on slrpnk.net. I would be stretching myself too far creating yet another community, especially one that requires original content to be created for it. :(

The Wii emulates all gameboy, GBC, and gba games if softmodded :)

It'd be kinda nice if we had a good Photoshop battles community.

Charges reduced for police officer who secretly taped colleagues’ racist remarks

Look into Serpico, a whistleblowing cop who was set up to be killed by the department back in 1970's NY. There's a great movie about the incident starring Al Pacino, too.

Anyone tryed this Henson shaving?
I have one, I think it lives up to its claims and is worth the price. It is the only safety razor I've used that has comparable irritation and ease of use to a disposable razor. It's particularly good for sensitive skin, and I'm significantly less likely to accidentally cut myself with it than my normal safety razor.

Tacticool girlfriend is a great trans gun educator on YouTube, and they made a series for beginners on how to safely use them in self defense, for anyone interested.

Same! Lately I've been going back to 90's titles to see what I missed out on and trying new genres, which has been unexpectedly rewarding, found quite a few gems that really stood the test of time.

[Question] When have we as a human species started to create social hierarchies?
The Dawn of Everything goes into that subject pretty well.
What Is Politics also made a video series on that subject, which goes into where and when hierarchies began to form.

I just use cheap shark brand blades with it, as feathers in any safety razor seem to make it more prone to cut myself, they're too sharp for my skin.
The Henson with cheap blades feels extremely close to a disposable, and it can be used in the same way with minimal thought, unlike a normal safety razor where you have to be careful with angle and pressure to avoid irritation or cuts.

A mass 'de-flock' campaign is planned for Halloween, allowing masked people who may wish to remove flock cameras to blend in with the crowd.

Flock has been proven to lie repeatedly already. The cameras are being used by police officer to stalk their ex's (plus over 100 other cases of cops abusing it), as well as used for thin justification to detain and illegally search people. They are also being used to track women getting abortions out of state, as well as activists.
Benn Jordan also exposed that Flock cameras have virtually no security, allowing anyone to log into a camera via wifi and alter footage/evidence, download what its recorded, etc. They also proved that Flock cameras will track individual people walking around, such as in parks where some are installed.
They are unlikely to have any effect on people driving less, and instead are being used to further the goals of the fascist state.

Your best Leftfield YT_Chanel recomendations
The Quiet Part does cool stuff on solarpunk and other topics.
Andrewism and Anark do good leftist political videos.
Unlearning Economics does leftist economic content.
Black flag Civilian and InRangeTV are good leftist channels that do gun content as well as a variety of other topics. There's also Tacticool Girlfriend, but that's moreso just gun content.

For someone planning to partake in those events, I would suspect they would opt to leave the stuff on the street so there is no chance of them being linked to it through physical means.

Comcast is turning millions of its routers into motion detectors
Good time to point out that it's very much worth converting you existing router (if you own it, and are not renting it) to Openwrt, an excellent open-source Linux based firmware replacement (just make sure your model is supported).
Doing so will drastically improve your network security by not running vulnerable or outdated firmware, as well as potentially removing hidden backdoors which may come with your router from the factory,
