does the emulator need Nintendo server to play the game?

Not at all. Not even for online multiplayer, I remember Yuzu had some way to play multiplayer (there’s even a whole discord server for this).

I think Nintendo is trying to scare everyone by trying to take everything down and sue. But we have seen that it does not work, it’ll just split the base once again in multiple fragments (with different emulators).

Though, it feels like the development of Switch emulation has stagnated. I don’t see improvements for current games that have trouble running on the emulators (which often both original Yuzu and Ryujinx would fix by time).

Nintendo succeeded in killing Yuzu because they had decryption keys which Nintendo could argue is breaking their copy protection, which is why they settled for 2.4 million dollars in sales damage

Was not it also because they have their Patreons subscribers things such as early access to leaked games?

IGN Article

From the article;

Nintendo’s suit also claims Yuzu’s Patreon page allows its developers to earn 30,000 a month by providing subscribers with “daily updates,” “early access,” and “special unreleased features” to games like Tears of the Kingdom by circumventing the protective measures Nintendo has in place to prevent piracy of video games.

I despise Nintendo but if this claim was true, they were earning money with pirated content, right?

Bluesky got too toxic

Reddit

I don’t think Reddit is any better (if at all).

The more information gets out about this whole thing, worse it gets.

Cool that it is possible but I rather ditch Discord when this is forced upon me.

“You are not allowing our hate speech on your platforms, that’s scandalous!”. That’s kind of what I’m reading.

From what I have seen and read, most conservative news is pretty much just hate speech wrapped in excuses.

Not necessarily a friend but someone I often spoke to back then. We met once again some years ago (just around when Covid hit).

He mentioned, he’s trying to get his life back on the rails; he got send to jail twice and then he went to the gym and got much more healthier (lost a lot of weight). I was surprised that he got send to jail, let alone twice.

Illegal, certainly. Are they going to do something about it, definitely not.

I have joined yesterday two days ago and so far, no Nazi problem on my feed. However, it is mostly regarding politics.

I keep my feed focused on anime as far as that’s possible.

EDIT: Read wrong. You don’t have to try the app if you don’t want to. Up to you.

Don’t know about Redlib nor about Nitter.

As a kid, I wanted to be an astronaut. I don’t like people and loved the idea to just have the entire space for myself lol.

I ended up being into Finance and Accounting sector though. I like Finance stuff.

Apparently some people are going over to UpScrolled. It is an Palestinian-made app similar to TikTok/ Instagram.

I have tried UpScrolled but it is still barebones but seems interesting (imo).

I’m surprised the AI has purple hair. Usually, Far-right are against things that are not in the “normal” (blonde, black or brunette).

The title though “far right social media star”. The world seems to be going on fire more and more.

Will check that one!

Will look into Super Mario Galaxy!

The new Donkey Kong is only on Switch 2.

Apologies, forgot to mention it is on the Steam Deck through emulation. I’ll look into Astrobot (got a PS5). I have tried Splatoon 3 but was not sure what the goal of the game was.

Looks cool but only going to play it when, it is 🏴‍☠️. I refuse to pay so much and then to be forced to get th DLCs for even more money. If it won’t be 🏴‍☠️ then I simply will not play the game.

Checking OCD. I keep checking whether things such as lights, doors are closed or the water tab, oven/ furnace are turned off. At some point it took 1-1.5 hours off my time before being able to go to bed and even then it occupied my mind. Went so far to make photo’s and video’s as ‘evidence’ but eventually that did not do the trick either.

• That I indeed have OCD.
• That I indeed have a form of social anxiety/ agoraphobia.
• That some things from the past still worries me despite thinking it would not.
• I quickly get into negative thoughts and learnt how to slowly but steadily change that.
• That I was afraid of admitting that certain things from the past were indeed someone else’s fault and not my own (I never wanted to be the kind of person that point fingers to others).

And a couple of other things but these were the main ones.
