What is your favourite gaming console you have played?

Console-wise it's the PS1.

I grew up a Nintendo kid but the PS1 was the first console I bought with my own money, bought and installed a mod chip myself, and played everything I could get my smelly teen hands on. That library of burned discs was a huge influence on my gaming tastes and is packed full of nostalgia for me.

::: spoiler spoiler SNES ALttP is still the best game ever made though. :::

‘There will always be people like you’: Tekken boss blasts ‘disrespectful’ fan for criticising character’s new look

“While 98% of the fans are welcoming this, there will always be people like you,” Harada replied. “I understand and sympathize that it may not suit your personal taste, but if you prefer the old design, past works already exist. I am not taking those away from you.

“Also, you refer to yourself as ‘Anna fans’, as if you represent all Anna fans, but you should express your opinion as an individual.”

“You threaten to quit if she isn’t brought back, you complain the moment she is brought back,” he explained. “You demand that she be reverted after she has been completely redesigned from scratch, including her model and framework. And if she actually were reverted, you’d just say, ‘that’s recycling’.

“Either way, your method of expressing your opinion and the content of your argument are entirely unconstructive, utterly pointless, and, above all, disrespectful to the other Anna fans who are genuinely looking forward to her.”

I appreciate you Harada.

Question about Antivirus

The person posting about a RAT is either unwell or trolling, dumping paragraphs of nonsense and screenshots that don't actually show anything. Don't let it get to you.

You can run ClamAV if you feel you need to, it's fine. Install packages using your distro's package manager. Don't install random binaries or package repositories until you understand where the software is actually coming from. Job done.

Amazon Boycot March 7-14th | No Purchases. Its time to disrupt the system.

That boycott had a demand attached, to prevent the sinking of the Brent Spar buoy. Effectively "unlimited" boycott until Shell gave into the demand.

This and the last no shop Friday thing seem mostly pointless. I mean fuck Amazon for sure but shouldn't there be some goal? "Boycott Amazon until X, Y, and Z" not "No buy from Amazon for a week but then we'll be back so no worries!"
