Usually, I don't help potential minors bypass age verifications, not just because of the potential issues that can arise from being contacted by minors but more commonly because they tend to be rude and extremely ignorant yet very opinionated, in other words they ruin everything on the internet. But I digress, since we all know the age verification trend of recent memory isn't about the minors at... » Continue Reading
Like the title says, Facebook, Instagram and even WhatsApp are banning accounts for no apparent reason or being accused of heinous acts they didn't commit. They acknowledged in June that their AI had issues and banned thousands of groups, however they haven't done the same for individual users who have had their accounts disabled and then banned permanently after trying the appeal process. In bot... » Continue Reading
Recently, after I posted this bulletin in my profile, Facebook's AI banned me for violating their terms on "who can use Facebook". Coincidence? Bad timing or fb pixel? Then I posted it on a reddit sub for people who were wrongly disabled by Facebook and the subs admin banned and muted me. So I decided that since this opinion piece is so incendiary, I might as well upgrade it to a blog entry. So w... » Continue Reading
A few months back, I wrote about this game in my bulletin posts. This past week the game was not only fully dumped but also made playable via emulation on RetroArch. But how did we get to that point and why is there a whole community who sees this effort as a victory for videogames preservation? First, I'll tell you what Paprium is in case you didn't know. Paprium was supposed to be an ambitious b... » Continue Reading
You've read that correctly, Windows NT 4.0 (and 3.51) now runs on the Nintendo GameCube, Wii and Wii U (via vWii). This is not emulation, it's running natively. This is possible because Microsoft ported Windows NT 3.5 and 4 to several RISC architectures such as DEC Alpha, MIPS and PowerPC. Unfortunately it's not all sunshine and rainbows. There's no audio support, no networking features, you can ... » Continue Reading
Many of us have heard about the hardware limitations of the Nintendo 64 and we've also heard about how difficult it was to develop for it despite being a very powerful console at the time. In recent years the console has seen some sort of homebrew revival, it seems there's a competition to see who can push the limits of the N64 and this guy might have won, he showcases a demo of deferred texturin... » Continue Reading
If you have played The Legend of Zelda: The Wind waker, you probably remember that part where you arrive at the Hyrule castle completely intact and you see Ganon's tower in the distance. Like many, you probably asked what rest of Hyrule looked like in this game in particular, but unfortunately an invisible wall prevents you from seeing it, that and the fact that the rest of Hyrule simply doesn't e... » Continue Reading
I've been binge watching some old AVGN and Irate Gamer videos from back in the day and it's made me realize even more how much I miss the internet from 18+ years ago. You see, grooming scandals only happened once in a blue moon, influencers weren't that big back then and most of them were pretty chill people, un » Continue Reading
Ever since corporate boomers discovered zoom meetings during the pandemic, they simply can't resist the urge to book a meeting for any reason whatsoever. Zoom must have had the simplest UI for them to understand because we have plenty of better platforms but they insist that we keep the zoom apps installed which add to the annoyance. Honestly, if your meeting isn't that important and it's not gon... » Continue Reading
