The One Pinned Post:
I do preservation and emulation stuff with obscure retro Nintendo systems like Satellaview and 64DD, I sometimes datamine stuff from Switch games, and I have a thing with mischievous cute wizard-like characters and I ended up making one myself.

Square producer Akitoshi Kawazu mentions that Square had received a development kit for the Super Famicom CD-ROM drive and that tests for a new Final Fantasy had been carried out with it. The workstations were NEWS.

I will gladly draw all of the frogs as a symbol for the movement, explicitly to take them back from the fuckers who co opted Pepe for their nazi shit.

There's no evidence of anything else, if somehow they got more and that I can tell from public screenshots that they got actually sensible shit then I'll retract what I said

There's news that Nintendo got hacked but since people don't know what they're talking about, people get hyped for a gigaleak 2 when all they got is just basically the repositories for what manages the japanese topic (news) pages.

Well you basically implied hacking through China can be pretty indirect when in the particular case of the gigaleak, it was a development partner of Nintendo who's working with them on first party titles and Pokémon

it is Japan side but hacking into the japanese website server is not going to let you access to the game dev servers so there was just way less chance of accessing anything sensible

Through iQue, which is a direct partner of Nintendo who does localization and engineering for Nintendo (such as making emulators and more), so having pretty sensible leaks from there is not nonsense.

Actually at one point it was the job of the BIOS to do this at boot and it didn't fucking warn for shit thanks MSI
I needed to get Linux on USB, and chad Ubuntu straight up at boot said "hey one of your HDDs is dying/dead, wanna check the status of it?"

Hey Windows 10 it could have been cool if you warned the user that the SMART of a HDD is telling "hey I'm dying the fuck out right now" instead of constantly trying to act as if everything is normal
