You make a lot of assumptions for someone who is apparently willing to patiently "spoon feed" information, lol.

What does that even mean...? Sue them for an award?

Landlords do not provide housing

If there are alternate options for renting a place, then I'm open to hear it. As of now, though, simply walking up to someone and asking to rent their place seems like the easier and more straightforward option.
I am only speaking from experience here. I understand the situation varies from person to person. I'm not personally concerned with my own wealth. I have found apartments with comfortable monthly rent, and I have found places that don't seem to have a fair rent that I've quickly moved out of. I can afford groceries and save a bit for some personal expenses. So far, I have had no negative experiences with any landlord I've rented from despite the rent pricing.
If it's the idea of landlords owning places and offering them for rent that people here are bothered about, then I'm not sure I understand their perspective. I respect it nonetheless, but I suppose I am just not as frustrated as most people are with the situation

That's exactly my point. Thank you for understanding.

Nintendo, famed for hating emulation, likely using Windows PCs to emulate SNES games at its museum
I mean, the problem isn't emulation, it's unauthorized emulation. They build emulators for older games on their own consoles.

You're right. I suppose I should just read into it more. I was just frustrated that I've been seeing these frequently on my homepage and felt like I had to comment

"No Point In Keeping It Under Wraps Any Longer" -This New Emulator "Ports" Game Boy Titles To The GBA
Isn't it easier to say the guy is just making GBA ports of GB titles? I don't see why all this technicality is necessary. Its not like he's making something that will automatically port any GB title in that manner. Or is he making a platform in which you can play GBA remakes of GB games...?

How is everyone doing with their language learning?
Learning Japanese due to work and I made a habit of taking at least an hour or two after work to learn a few kanji symbols. It ain't easy but it sure feels satisfying to be able to understand what I'm reading every once in a while. I think I'm struggling more with grammar and sentence structuring due to how vastly different it is from English and Spanish. My goal is to pass the N5 test this year and I'm confident I'll be able to at this pace.

I don't really want to pay for a house and experience all the expenses that come with it. Owning a house involves paying out of pocket for maintenance whereas when renting, you can have the landlord take care of that for you, and it doesn't involve paying whoever comes to fix your stuff.
Additionally, owning a house would basically anchor me to one location, which gives me less flexibility as a digital nomad.
If you value home equity then buying a house is definitely ideal. But this isn't the case for everyone.
...oh, sorry. I forgot this is Lemmy and that you can't have a different opinion under any circumstance. My bad!

I understand the issue. I suppose I'm just not as concerned as the people in this forum are. When I saw this meme I was only thinking about the practicality of renting vs owning a place. I can see why most people are upset about my view of things, but then I was already aware people would be downrating me for showing my perspective. Regardless I felt like i needed to express my opinion nonetheless. I see a lot of these on my homepage

That's fine and all. I agree that their actions are absurd. But the aim of this article seems to be to provoke more rage towards Nintendo for something that seems like pretty standard practice and completely misses the point of what people are mad about.

I mean, it does seem like you can just hide that and the first result is right below the sponsored ones.
Like I know Google is a horrifying mess of ads but this seems like a standard kind of thing. At least there's no AI insight or one page full of garbage results.

DOOM: The Dark Ages – Definitive 2000+ Word Guide for Every Player
I wouldn't say the combat is "faster". If anything, it's pretty slow-paced compared to Eternal, where stopping means dying in higher difficulties. At least Dark Ages gives you time to strategize based on my experience.

We shouldn't have to monetize our lives to barely afford the basics. We should thrive, not just survive.
If a slow day means sitting around doing nothing... Honestly I'd just feel so desperate that I'd find something to do. And it's not because work has conditioned me to want to be active or anything like that. I just don't wanna sit around wasting my time, unless I'm actually resting.

Hobbies are useful for those idle times. I'm currently learning a new language and it's kept my mind active.

I listen to Easy Japanese Podcast on YouTube, who release short conversations about any topic each day. I've been able to understand them better to the point I can tell you what they're talking about and what they segway to.
I am not yet able to make conversation, but I'm aware that it's not a quick process. I began less than a year ago and I think learning the sentence structuring is harder than learning kanji, lol. But that is only my opinion.
For grammar, words, and lexicon, I would recommend Human Japanese, which is a phone/windows app that uses the Genki textbook as it's basis. They have a demo for the first 3 chapters

The Making Of: Earthion - "Working On It Again Reminded Me Just How Incredible The Mega Drive Really Is"
I really enjoyed this game. The only thing that kinda annoyed me was the overly loud, bit crushed voices and sfx. I think they could've done a better job with that.

Yeah, I expected this to happen so I'm indifferent about the negative replies. Thanks for the recommendation though, I'll start to give it a read on my break.
