Nerd things

Mostly video games of many kinds, and anime.

When I see game and anime fan art I like, I hit repost. So my feed is a lot of that.

Fav series: Xenoblade, Smash Bros., Metal Gear, Zelda, Mario, Metroid, Doom
Yeah it was interactive. It was neat.

Wii U the manual just had a scan of the letter already dipped.

3DS didn't have StarTropics

NES Classic...I think they direct you to their website that has the manual.

NSO, nothing in-app that would help you and nothing that tells you to go to their site.

OK. I guess then I'm not sure how to answer because we've built into the question that I "can afford it". If was a rich dude I'd like to think I would buy more handcrafted things.

Nintendo is also re-releasing the Virtual Boy 🤔🤔🤔

I don't really understand why mass-produced things are being conflated with AI-produced things I guess.

I will pay more at a sit down local restaurant than I will at a fast food franchise, and try to choose the local restaurant more often to support local business.

I mean if we get to a point where these things are "ubiquitous" and the output is "functionally equivalent" (whatever that means), art would be mostly dead so there's no point in engaging with it. I'd have lots of extra money to spend on people who don't participate. Or I'd just play/watch old shit.

I just liked that up until now they had at least SOME way to guide you to the hint even if it got worse over time. Now they just gave up.

It's like how MGS1 re-releases always included a screenshot of the Meryl codec screen even on digital storefronts.

Thank you for your service and for including the StarTropics meme in the list

It took a lot of iteration for them to finally get a hit, but they kept trying.

Oh ok

I was like "is this a fake screenshot thing or did he change it twice???"

Looking now, he has a different avatar and bio than what's in that screenshot, so I'm confused.
