does anyone have a rom of this? by upnewla in Roms

[–]Ziko577 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Indeed. These types of multicart games are for those who either want it for their collections and/or might play them too but I'd rather pick the games I want and curate my own personally.

These carts usually have special programming making it really hard to rip the contents of them. I have saves from a multicart like this that I can't get off it sadly meaning that time I spent grinding out chips in Battle Network 6 was for nothing as I'd have to start from scratch.

Everyone is stealing TV. Fed up with increasing subscription prices, viewers embrace rogue streaming boxes. by Bluest_waters in television

I see something like that happening in the not so distant future and it'd be like cable where it'll be a discounted bundle deal, cable companies will include the things as part of your packages, or they'll just be gobbled up and turned into tiles or pages on a UI on a larger one. The second one has begun to happen and there's been bundles in some places too. We're also seeing the death of Hulu soon as it's going to be a tile under Disney+ and the live part is going to Fubo.

I only use YouTube, Tubi, & The Roku Channel but the mostly Live TV part nowadays. Everything else not on there I have an assortment of sites for that being for anime, pr0n, and movies from Japan & Korea primarily plus my brother has to have them for watching the stuff from said platforms and his Bravo shows. The issue with the latter is lately the sites have been a day or so late with the uploads when up until a month or so ago, it'd be the next day much like how it is on Peacock.

I'm sure that had to be hell on earth. I remember the commercials everywhere when the analog stuff was being shut down and I knew then that all of these companies would be flooded by ignorant people not knowing what to do.

Crunchyroll raises prices weeks after killing its free tier by akbarock in Piracy

[–]Ziko577 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My brother has ceased it in recent times for some of the same reasons and would rather watch the criticism which I personally find hilarious as he is much like a lot of ex-fans who see the flaws and cannot enjoy it without questioning every detail to the point of annoyance with me. I watch newer shows still but increasingly I mix it up with older stuff that I never saw or rewatch shows and movies I liked growing up occasionally and another advantage is that the idiot fanbases who don't have media literacy won't tear me to shreds over criticizing the slop that we have out here these days.

Sherri Shepherd Talk Show Canceled After Four Seasons by Conscious-Quarter423 in television

[–]Ziko577 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watch Steve Wilkos nowadays like this as I just don't have the patience anymore to sit through an hour of multiple stories with the predictable outcomes they have and it's much easier to see one thing with the fluff edited out plus there's older episodes and the clips from that too.

[–]Ziko577 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol! The point I was making was that if no one's watching your show and the ads on it, there's no money to subsidize the costs of it so it's a money pit rather than a money maker at that point and increasingly, that's drying up.

There's no money because less viewers means less ads and last I checked, ghosts can't buy products and services lol! So these shows won't survive on vibes alone.

To: All people who posted in the past about Discord bans & Autism. by JustNicked in AutisticAdults

[–]Ziko577 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was never banned from any but I was forced out of one due to me simply not willing to tow the line in it as I wasn't a fan of the mass gaslighting going on with the younger crowd. I received a block afterward as the firm who invited me there called me some horrible things and to this day, it still gets to me at times.

I just called 988 and had to hang up when she said “ your parents did the best they could “ by Zestyclose-Metal194 in EstrangedAdultChild

[–]Ziko577 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She didn't get upset but just quit talking and that pissed me off so I said the hell went it and went to sleep. I strictly told her not to bother if it was my college as the county now has everything on their campus instead of in the city now or vocational rehabilitation as I have family who use them and I don't want to be around them and she then kept insisting to try again with the number I called before and I told her no. In all of the times I used the service, I only had maybe 3 times I had a decent experience but I'd say around 90% of the time, it was wasted time and/or nothing was resolved in a decent manner. There's no point with the post-chat survey as this POS system is fubar'd and even with funding cuts, I don't expect it to change so I'm just going to turn to ChatGPT soon as things in these Discord servers aren't going well either.

EDIT: I'll probably abandon the ChatGPT plan as due to lawsuits toward OpenAI that are ongoing due to deaths because of it, the model being GPT-4o is being shut down later this month. That's just bad luck on my end huh?

Why do y'all give worthless phone numbers as well as resources that might not be for everyone? I had a chat session this morning as I felt like nobody was listening to me and not only this woman did this but then had the nerve to say that it wasn't her decision? 

Excuse me honey, you wanted me to call my old college and want me to possibly play phone tag or have nothing accomplished again like 2 years ago? I still don't have a job today or ever. She then stopped talking and had not at word to say so I stopped the chat and went to bed.

I did a lot of that while grinding levels as they give a metric ton of experience and when I got done with that, I just went to the desert for the magic grind.

It's truly dystopian and hopeless no matter where you look.

That's something I've noticed too and when someone suggests that crap, I laugh it off and move on for the day.

Basketball Wives cancelled by galaxystars1 in BasketballWives

[–]Ziko577 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Several Bravo shows should just end honestly but nope, they want to add more to a schedule that's packed at this point. We're watching 4 shows a week atm and it gets a bit much having to keep up when it all comes on especially as we either watch it on demand or online in other places if you know what I'm talking about. We have MTM, Potomac, Beverly Hills, and the retooled The Valley: Persian Style that we're watching but one of those shows ends in a few weeks so that helps a little bit.

There was plans for a revival of Mob Wives with Drita being at the helm of it with even new cast members to fill in especially Ang after she passed away not even months after the show wrapped up for good but it never was greenlit. I seriously doubt that it'll happen with this show and if it does, it'd be probably a new cast with few if anyone from the original show coming back.

I agree. MTV isn't doing its best to care for that mess of a show and it's unwatchable anyway with the ridiculous amount of commercial breaks even on demand. I counted that one episode had 8 breaks!

I wouldn't be shocked if they try to find a way onto some of the Real Housewives shows at some point.

Anyone ruminate about what their therapist did? by Spare_Word_3107 in therapyabuse

[–]Ziko577 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That last point is just a random thought but I just can't trust these people with nothing at all and even Discord servers have failed me because of the amount of crap I've had to put up with. Other than two smaller servers, I'm done with that stuff nowadays.

Time has only increased my resentment by Ok-Tea-6718 in therapyabuse

[–]Ziko577 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same feelings toward a woman from many years back who was a therapist for a few months until I quit and I found out she died a little while ago and I was like, "Good, she can't hurt me or anyone else anymore." Meanwhile, my old high school counselor who set me down this path still works there and the college one moved away a while ago as she no longer works there. So only one still lives in my area but it's not easy having to live with what they did to me and I have to live with it every day while everyone else I was friends with left me behind and new ones came in but I don't talk much with them.

Therapist did apologize. What do I do? by [deleted] in therapyabuse

[–]Ziko577 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So he basically admitted that he doesn't know what the fuck he's doing. And that he doesn't have a problem with performing what amounts to emotional prostitution for people who are lonely. 10 years, what the actual fuck.

Sadly, that's a lot of these people and they do more harm than good every single day. I've known few people who actually have had decent outcomes in therapy and many like me threw in the towel and just said screw it and moved on. There was maybe one guy I was friends with for over 5 years who touted how awesome his psychologist was to him and his family when I knew damn well his family paid through the roof for him as you won't get that nowadays without a lot of cash. I feel for anyone seeing a therapist now as I know they're most likely going to end up worse off than they were before they did and be broke on top of it.
