    I’m probably in the minority here but I’m pretty indifferent to the move, although getting feedback and hosting a poll for deciding where to move to would have been smart. Not doing that seems a bit shortsighted but I imagine you’re well aware of that at this point.

    At the same time though it rubs me the wrong way that Ada pinned a message to the other 196 pointing to another community after saying she was respecting the mods decision to leave and would keep the other community closed. Like technically that’s not a lie, but it very much feels against the spirit of the request.

    I think it’s much more likely that he either wanted to be caught, or it could just be that the guy that did something ill advised (killing someone in public while making very little effort to hide his face besides a cloth mask that he pulled down on several occasions) didn’t really have much in the way of a contingency plan.






  • We really need a court case or law that protects a users ability to tamper with their own consumer electronics. This is very silly, people aren’t building bombs out of their Nintendo switches. They’re running software on them to play games in more places.

    At this point I’m just not supporting Nintendo in whatever ways possible. They’re angry about games leaking and decided that the best thing to do is go scorched earth on emulators for some reason.

    I paid for a switch, I paid for a copy of ToTK and Mario Wonder. I’m going to play those games in whatever way is most convenient to me, if that happens to be on a PC with my Switch Pro controller then that’s none of their business.
