@Moon You might want to just get a separate unlocked phone. I thought about getting an Android emulation handheld (preferably one without a mic or cellular connection) just to install apps like these.

@Moon I don't know what that is.

The apps are Crew (which is actually open source and on GitHub so I could side load that one) and Homebase (which requires Google Play and apparently connects to Facebook). I wish I could convince our boss to use something else like Retroshare, but this is a fast-food restaurant we're talking about. I hope my first real job after graduating college won't require bullshit apps like this, but I think these types of apps will become standard for jobs soon.

@Moon My job requires me to have two apps that I can't install on these types of phones. I can't even use a de-googled phone.

>i do think that a lot of smash players or at least TOs want to pretend like nintendo sponsoring an event makes them a legitimate tournament because the FGC gives them shit about not being a real fighting game all the time.
That makes sense, but even Masahiro Sakurai said that he never intended Smash to be a competitive fighting game. He even partially came up with the idea for Smash after defeating a noob in King of Fighters at a local arcade when he was younger. I also remember him saying that he semi-regrets creating Melee as it wasn't what he intended Smash to be.

>in fact I think you might actually be able to use it on a gamecube if you have the right equipment
The Gamecube does have that modem and broadband adapter, but that was only ever officially used for LAN games and Phantasy Star Online along with a few Japan-only games. And those network adapters are rare as hackers later found out that they can be used for homebrew and piracy via exploits, so Nintendo had to discontinue them. Plus, the network adapters are not compatible with the Wii and from what I've heard, homebrew on actual GameCube hardware is tedious.

There is a WIP project that is aiming to fully decompile Melee's source code (you still need to provide a legitimate ISO to abstract the game assets for legal reasons). This could open the door to more mods including a native PC port with online. I can see more tournaments embracing this as long as they do it legally (requiring the ISO to compile as I mentioned previously).

>Poettering attacking Devuan.
When was this?

@ChristiJunior As a game programmer, Yuji Naka was sort of a role model for me along with John Carmack and Satoru Iwata it's sad to see that he's gone the deep end.

@MaceDindu If I could go back in time, I would give the founding fathers a copy of Democracy: The God That Failed.

>The only official stance Nintendo has on ProjectM/+ and Slippi is that they won't "sponsor" tournaments that run them in an official manner.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that Project M requires a legitimate copy of Brawl and Slippi is just a modified Dolphin emulator, so there is little that Nintendo can legally do in that regard. It's probably the same reason why they haven't gone after the Mother 3 fan translation project.

>I still don't get why tournaments even really feel the need for a "Nintendo" sponsor in the first place because they barely do anything. They don't contribute to prize pools, they don't provide set-ups... they just slap their stamp of approval on it.
Maybe a chance to meet Masahiro Sakurai in person or just to get more recognition. These tourneyfags are the most entitled and cultish pricks I know. That Hungrybox quote about how Melee is more than a video game, that it is a lifestyle should show how religiously devoted they are to a nearly 20 year old game that wasn't even meant to be competitive in the first place.

And I thought that my high school cross country team was cultish.

@beardalaxy @ArdanianRight Either way, I think there are forks of that project now.

@ChristiJunior @ArdanianRight @beardalaxy That would require you not to respond to any of these pronoun/trans flag fags on blogs, forums, and social media. People will notice and try to cancel you for not being inclusive enough.

@beardalaxy @ArdanianRight @ChristiJunior This is about autistic people, not trannies.

@ArdanianRight @mrsaturday I'm not talking about the ones who are brainwashed, but rather about the ones who just want to devote their lives to beating a video game without pressing a certain button or drawing fan-art.
