If you already have a pixel: Maybe look into Graphene OS. With that, you can completely decouple your child's data from google.

An era famous for its' tacked-on multiplayer modes.

I don't have faith, I try to unnerstand their actions and tactics. And I dislike nonsensical arguments mainly informed by gut intuitions rather than thinking for a second.

Illusion of Gaia/Time is not a Nintendo IP. No copyrighted material is being distributed. They can't even legally takedown decompilations of Zelda and Mario. What makes you think they'll go against a completely and unquestionably legal romhack of a 30 year old Quintet game?

company that hates its customers.

You're describing every company.

Nintendo mainly goes after Switch emulators, since that's their current system. Also, their legal angle is that certain emulators circumvent DRM (like cg/wii or switch emulators). Rom patches for 30 year old games should be fine, as long as you don't distribute copyrighted content.

The game is not by Nintendo. Also, it's a patch. They can't takedown a patch.

Predatory life-service bullshit before it was cool.

Afaik, the phrase is supposed to mean "don't count on the internet forgetting something you want purged."

It's probably not about that but rather to destroy the secondary market of modchips and save-file editors in Japan.

[–] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 83 points 1 month ago (7 children)

Recent laws in Japan have criminalized console and game modding, as well as save file editing

What the flying fuck, Japan?

They also left the original game where it was. If you don't enjoy the remake: don't play it.

How is 7 "ruined"? It's still there, isn't it?

My LSP has some neat built-in snippets. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
