The reason why I am so critical about the Star Fox 64 and Ocarina of Time remakes on the Switch 2 is because I feel like N64 nostalgia hit it's peak almost a decade ago (just from people talking about it on YT among other places). It feels like Nintendo is jumping in on the bandwagon way too late, and they already done it once on the 3DS anyway.

It seems like more people are nostalgic for the GameCube, GBA, Wii, and DS right now. As much as people don't want to admit it, it's true. The GC and Wii Zelda's have already been ported to recent consoles, and I don't see them remaking Minish Cap as Capcom was also involved, but maybe it's an opportunity to remake Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks and make them less shit.

"Age verification" requirements threaten to identify whistleblowers. They generally require that all users of a site prove their identities, or present video selfies which governments could use to identify them. Any attempt by a whistleblower to contact a reporter through a site that does age verification is likely to enable tyrannical rulers to identify per and crush per. This will

Far from protecting children, Illinois’ HB 5511 will effectively dismantle online anonymity, jeopardize data security, and severely restrict access to constitutionally protected speech for young people and adults alike. eff.org/deeplinks/2026/06/eff-

I'm glad Ruffle does such a good job. There would have been so much weird classic homemade Flash that would have been lost. Homestar Runner forever!

Governments tell us to cut eating red meat and dairy products to ‘save the planet’ yet they ram through hundreds of massive data centres that consume vast amounts of energy and water…

Took care of the bee hive yesterday. It was probably not the best day to go outside in a bee suit. After I got out all the frames and took off the bee suit, my shirt 100% drenched in sweat. I drank two cups of water, laid down on the couch and thought I was going to die 😩 ... Then I finally got up and mowed the lawn.

Over 100 Flock cameras that were set to "go dark" at the end of June after city council voted to shut them down...

The contract is expired.
The elected body said no.
Nobody re-authorized it.
Flock won't say what it's doing with the data.

...but the cameras are STILL ON and being used by police.

Home Depot: The only place where buying a light bulb gets your face scanned like your a suspect and your car's plates tracked like a fugitive.

Facial recognition at checkout.
Flock cameras in the lot = hard pass.

Boycott Home Depot. Vote with your wallet.

Fun drinking game: Take a shot for every anti-libertarian US state or federal bill that has the words "protect", "kids", "child", "parent" or "terrorism" in it. Most participants die before arriving to the hospital.

I copied roms back when the SNES was the big system. Physical carts are just a medium to hold intangible data. Being able to make copies and use those copies is the real key.
