I'm using my earnings to document/preserve video footage of some forgotten/unusual Nintendo published software. Right now my focus is on the Japanese DSiWare games, which could eventually be lost due to 3DS eShop shutdown. Some you can't buy anymore through the eShop unfortunately (outside of piracy I suppose i.e. free shop but I'd personally not do that) such as a crossword series the Starfy composer apparently worked on (if it emerges on Yahoo Auctions Japan I'd definitely save up to buy it if the seller accepts international trade).

I'm also waiting for a Korean 2DS to arrive to document a glitch only Korean G/S VC seems to have, but it works on the assumption unknown opcodes are also ignored in the Korean version, which may or may not be true. (I feel its worth it though, as bad name Pokémon can do interesting things to the game like free Pay Day money if I recall rightly, as SM has demonstrated).

freeShop doesn't even work anymore, as Ninten's CDN now 403s you if you request downloads with a cartridge ticket or no ticket. Well, I guess it technically does if you have legit tickets, but you only get those by buying through the eShop, so…

No problem.
Fun fact: due to the new setup, cartridges no longer count as valid copies of games. This means carts can't generate update tickets, so you can't update the game.

Oh, yes…there is a third one. Just in case you might prefer it on PC, I'll let you know it's on Steam as well. And to avoid spoiling anything, I'll leave it at that.

Anyway, what's Pokémon Mega like?
Puzzle and Dragons ripoff with the worst English ever. (Also no pics as the main character's default name is the n-word. Not kidding.)

Oh my xD

Well, I guess then if it has an oddity like as damning as that, the rest of the game must be very interesting.

Finished installing Arch Linux, took me two days. Some things are buggy, but at least I've only got myself to blame, eh? :P

So that's where you were! How are you liking it? It's been at the back of my mind to find a new OS for my older laptop.

Hi friends!
I've recently fallen on some extraordinarily hard times as of late. I won't go into detail as the issues of the matter are personal and private, but I would appreciate your warm wishes and thoughts during this time.

I'm sorry to hear about your circumstances Missing? NO!. :( I relate with you and have been in a similar situation. We've had hard times in the past too, and I feel sometimes the media does not understand; no matter who we are, we can all struggle with mental health, also stigma because contrary to some belief, it is often the most intelligent who suffer with mental health. Hope things get better soon, and the best for you and your family. <3 (hugs)
