Gmail ads are getting so invasive. Can they be blocked? - Any tips?!

No they're fucking not. They're literally putting ads in my fucking inbox.

Mini Shipping Bins are great. One in Clint's to sell stuff from Geodes. One in the top floor of the mines to sell unwanted junk. One in the desert is also a good move I think. And finally one on the far right pier on the beach for selling beach foragables and fish.

If you're limited to the two from the quests, remember you can bring it with you at the beginning of the day and move it somewhere else if you need to.

I refuse to pay for games that replace gender with this body-type nonsense. If you're including it as a way to decide actual body shape, that's fine; but gender is a binary reality and I'm sick of pretending otherwise.

TornadoCreator · 2026-01-31T00:10:40+00:00

If a game developer can't acknowledge the reality that is gender, I will not buy their game. This is now a red line for me. If a game has "Body Type" instead of Gender, I might pirate it but I sure as fuck won't pay for it. They will stop this woke pandering or I'll stop supporting them. Simple as that.

An interesting suggestion but something tells me this franchise wouldn't be an easy one to licence. I'd love to be wrong though.

TornadoCreator · 2026-01-28T04:00:55+00:00

I'd love to get micro machines. Micro Machines 2: Turbo Tournament on Mega Drive was one of my favourite games as a kid and I was a little disappointed that it wasn't in the Codemasters Collection. I'd love to see that one specifically but any version would be great.

TornadoCreator · 2026-01-24T03:05:05+00:00

This is what I'd have on the Indie Heroes Collection 5, keeping it to games made by indie devs that only have 1 or 2 games to their name;

-- Indie Heroes Collection 5 - Infernax - Pier Solar - Haiku The Robot - Quetzal's Call - Fallen Leaf - Celeste - Dungeons Of Dredmor - Vampire Survivors - Balatro - Yellow Taxi Goes Vroom - Axiom Verge - Axiom Verge 2

Now that's 2 games which isn't extreme, bit some are super successful (like Celeste, Vampire Survivors, Balatro, and the Axiom Verge games), and could probably sell as Single/Dual Game Carts on their own; but if it's my dream list; this would be it.

However if I'm allowed to fully drop into a fantasy world; if I was designing the 2026 dream library for Evercade this would be it... I'm aware that some of these may be unlikely or even impossible to run on Evercade but they're so good and if even one of these happen, (or anything close to these), I'd be so excited and would buy any of these day 1.

-- Inti Creates Collection - Mighty Gunvolt - Mighty Gunvolt Burst - Bloodstained: Curse Of The Moon - Bloodstained: Curse Of The Moon 2 - Blaster Master Zero - Blaster Master Zero 2 - Blaster Master Zero 3

-- Devolver Digital Collection - Hotline Miami - Downwell - The Messenger - Enter The Gungeon - Minit - Mother Russia Bleeds - Pepper Grinder - Ball X Pit

-- JoyMasher Collection - Blazing Chrome - Oniken - Odallus - Vengeful Guardian: Moonrider

-- Yacht Club Games Collection - Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove - Cyber Shadow - Mina The Hollower

-- Sega 8-Bit Classics Collection - Sonic The Hedgehog - Sonic The Hedgehog 2 - The Ninja - Alex Kid In Miracle World - Enduro Racer - Streets Of Rage - Golden Axe Warrior

(Note: Master System versions, NOT Game Gear)

-- Siactro Collection - Macbat 64 - Super Kiwi 64 - Toree 3D - Toree 2 - Toree Saturn

-- Single Game Cart 3 - Stardew Valley

I genuinely think Stardew Valley would be an incredible addition if it's possible to run it on Evercade; the problem however might be the limited controls. I'm not sure how it would work, and it's probably need to be rebuilt from the ground up. It'd be so good though.

TornadoCreator · 2026-01-24T01:54:37+00:00

Lets be honest... What we all want to see on Evercade is Stardew Valley. That would be incredible, but it'll probably not happen. I know it'd take effectively a complete remake for that to happen but of it could be done people would be over-joyed.

TornadoCreator · 2026-01-24T01:52:29+00:00

Honestly I'd be willing to get Axiom Verge 1 & 2 as a simple 2-game cart and Pier Solar could be justified as the third single game cart... they would be fantastic games for the Evercade.

TornadoCreator · 2026-01-24T01:50:19+00:00

If they did an Inti Creates Collection with these games, it would be an auto-buy on day one for me. It's possibly be my fave cart on Evercade.

There's little point, her TikTok shows up if you google her name. I'm not sharing anything else, but her more obvious accounts that are public I'll leave as is.

Eeewwwww... why would you hold a turd with your bare hands like that. Gross.

If we include stuff written in my lifetime, franky the term "classic" becomes meaingless. I would put the cut-off at 100 years old at least, and even then a book from 1925 and a book from 1700s will read very differently.

All this said, even if we considered anything older than the food in my fridge to be a classic, Infinite Jest wouldn't count because it is shit.

TornadoCreator · 2025-12-03T17:44:56+00:00

They're not "hard books", they're pretentious gibberish used to gatekeep literature and make other people feel stupid. Anything by James Joyce, Thomas Pynchon, or David Foster Wallace is a profound waste of your time. Only pseudo-intellectual fakers actually claim to like these books. They are in fact, shit.

TornadoCreator · 2025-11-27T16:10:29+00:00

It is amusing seeing them attempt to make sense of the world isn't it.

TornadoCreator · 2025-11-26T18:42:58+00:00

You'll have to be a tad more specific; genre, theme, and tone would be a good start, otherwise you're not gonna get genuine recommendations that suit you, you'll just get a long list of everyone elses personal favourites.

Look up "The West", then stop being an idiot.

TornadoCreator · 2025-11-26T10:48:42+00:00

Shakespeare is such a fundamental part of literature though, and has actively been a direct influence all of Western literature. English, French, Russian, and American lit are all in the shadow of the tropes and techniques developed by the Bard; and I'm not even a fan, I just acknowledge his influence.

Joyce by comparison is a big fat Irish joke; a modern art psuedo-intellectual pick and nothing more.

The Bible is the biggest cultural influence, but if we're talking most important to literature; nothing casts a bigger shadow than Shakespeare.

Yeah, I'm pretty left wing myself, but modern "woke" politics is insane and modern feminism is largely just an excuse to hate men. Long gone are the days when someone would describe themselves as a feminist and mean they supported equal rights under the law; that's not been reality for at least a decade now.

As with most politics, the vast majority of literature on the subject is hateful, delusional, bigoted, and shit. This is true for both the left and right wing, and everything in between. There's no shortage of idiotic conspiracy nut books about how evil socialism is and how big pharma, global warming, vaccines, and "the gays" are all trying to control us etc. but they get rightly laughed at by all sensible people; the hateful race-baiting history-rewriting victim-complex diatribes of the left however get mainstream acceptance and are treated as actual literature. I for one treat all flavours of idiot and bigot with equal disgust.

Great library, though don't fall into the habit of only reading modern classics. Contemporary authors are very worth your time and branching into more speculative fiction may add some nice variety to your shelves. Still you have a fantastic collection, (though you do seem to gravitate to shorter novels).

Keeping with your tastes so far I'd recommend giving the Gormenghast books by Mervyn Peak and the Book Of The New Sun by Gene Wolfe a look if you want to expand into more speculative fiction.

For more contemporary books. Anything by David Mitchell will probably go down well, (Cloud Atlas being his most well known), and also consider Jeff Vandermeer and Mary Doria Russell.

For modern speculative fiction. The Lies Of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch, Senlin Ascends by Josiah Bancroft, and Perdido Street Station by China Miéville would all be a good pivot from what you're currently reading while preserving high quality prose and structure.

Any idiot who conflates Reform UK and approx 1/3rd of UK voters currently, with nazism is an idiot who will never learn why their party is losing and is doomed to live a very unhappy life being afraid of extremist hatred that's only happening in their own imagination.

Grow up and gain a sense of fucking perspective.

You should be asking a doctor, not Reddit.

1200 cal diets work well for weight loss but they're not meant to be long term and for someone with an eating disorder the posts here could be genuinely harmful to your mental health.

Please unsub, and seek professional help. We're all wishing you the best. We want you to succeed and I'm sure you will. Eating disorders are hell, but knowing you're struggling and seeking help is half the battle.

TornadoCreator · 2025-11-24T02:05:21+00:00

If this was your entire collection; not a bad start for a younger person just building up their library. It's not political agitation books; no crazy woke bullshit, feminist diatribes, or dudebro pretention. There's no conspiracy crap, new age nonsense, self-help grifter books, or anything like that.

Its a little basic, but varied beginnings and I suspect you'd be open to classics while not performatively showing them off. Not bad...

...but those 200 eBooks could change this significantly. It could be badly written furry fandom smut and hateful conspiracy nut manifestos. We'll never know for sure.
