I talk about games, but also talk about random things too. I love music, I have listened to every OCR song known to man. Kirby is my favorite character. My hyper fixations are Touhou and Xenoblade.
getting funny banter for no reason other than to develop relationships is fun. it's light and brings in more contrast to whatever the ordeal. you can still have the serious ones too.

apparently the 3DS version of DQ11 notified you and acted like the previous remakes in the series, while the console versions stuffed it in a menu.

Now, it's hard to campaign on "The US government should seize millions of foreign domains and build a Great Firewall."
But passing bills that are doomed to fail gives you years to rile up a societal panic. When the laws don't work, you blame porn again. At which point, maybe people are ready.

SCHWEPPE: Age Verification is a "Good First Step" - The Iowa Standard
Earlier this week, I testified in Missouri on behalf of HB1993, a bill that would require age verification for porn websites to prevent minors from accessing pornographic material. Eight of these age ...

I'll give you a US example:.
The main age-verification lobbyist — a man who largely believes porn should be outlawed — admitted the state-level bills he pushed for won't work and were really a predicate for federal action.
He wants the DOJ to seize domains.

!["So, ultimately, I think what you're going to have to do is to have the states pass all these types of bills. You'll see that they're ineffective in some capacity, and it'll create a demand for Congress to act at the federal level. And then you could have DOJ take a pretty aggressive approach. I think back to the Unlawful Internet [Gambling Enforcement] Act that shut down online poker in this country... it was back 15 years ago... DO] seized those domain names and basically shut down online poker in this country even though those were foreign actors. I think that's the type of thing you could maybe do at the federal level. I know Mike Lee is exploring this right now with a bill called the SCREEN Act. But, look, we look at the states as the laboratories of democracy. Missouri has an opportunity here to really go on the books and say this is what we support, we want to protect kids in our state. And then I think Congress is always slower than the state legislatures, so….. maybe they act later."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:34ydeurdtukrpzjjelklch4y/bafkreiakfuzwuef34lm53mitlznbkxzxs445lt7reae5mrzrjliso7m5hy@jpeg)

Politically it's easier to pass the less onerous restrictions, the ones that just seem like common sense — "like flashing your ID at a liquor store!" The government builds a moral panic, then promises its easily solvable.
That panic, once taken hold, now provides cover for bolder restrictions.

Tighter government control of the internet is, of course, the natural outgrowth of initial failed attempts to control the internet.
In fact, in some cases, that initial failure is entirely expected and built into the plan. In the US, AV advocates said early on they knew initial bans wouldn't work.

After initially confirming the project to Tech Radar, Ofcom went silent when pressed on questions about what data was being monitored, what privacy protections were in place or who the company doing it was.

i was messing around with NSO for a bit a couple of days ago and found the CRT filter is really good and really helps for a lot of the games. it also made the sprites of paper mario rounder. and for dr. mario 64 the text is just plain more readable with it on lol
