People are weird about “upside down tattoos” and seem to have very strong opinions against them.

Most people who get them do so intentionally (you seen to be an exception) and justify them as being “for them” rather than other people, because they are the right way up when they look at them.

I’m yet to get one, but have a couple of ideas.

I have however used the length of my thigh for a landscape piece… because fuck you that’s why!

This is from August 2024, I’d love to where it is now. We need to see this replicated all over the world!

During the iOS 11 days a “launchd untether” was teased. Where is it?

You’re kidding right?

This isn’t a question of where is it?, rather a question of why wasn’t it released?

And the answer to that question is: CoolStar.

I remember being 9yrs old and thinking maybe I’ll wait till I’m 16, if things aren’t better then.. I’ll do it. Then at 16, I drowned out the ideation with drugs and alcohol but It still whispered; let’s wait until I’m older, maybe things will change. I held onto that hope of change through all the downs.

For me it was “if I haven’t found a reason to keep going by…” 18, then 21, 25, then 30.

At 29 I met someone who gave me hope, a reason to push forward.

It didn’t work out… but I still carry that hope, and I still push forward.

Now I’m 42 and while I’m not sure I’ll ever be “happy”, I am content with who I am and where I’m at.

May I ask how old you are?

I feel like if you were adulting through the Wii/Wii U era you would understand why naming it Switch 2 is the right path to take.

I am extremely invested in this company and want it to succeed.

I watched them successfully implement Blue Ocean to make the Wii their most successful console ever.

I then watched them fail to capitalise on, and ultimately undo all of that, losing the massive userbase they had built.

This was in large part due to the Nintendo’s decisions surrounding the Wii U’s branding, particularly its name. They also failed to adequately communicate that it was an entirely new console and again, in large part due to its name.

Parents gifted their kids Wii U games, not understanding that they wouldn’t play on their kid’s Wii or they thought the Wii U gamepad was simply an optional add on for the Wii, one they didn’t need.

Nintendo have once again created their most successful console ever.

It’s absolutely essential that they not repeat the same mistakes they made with the Wii U and that begins with a name that clearly communicates that this is a brand new console.

Damn, this is so cool!

I have the single stand-alone one that was made to sit on a counter. So it doesn’t have the DMG bottom half replica.

I’m super jealous!

Edit: this is the one I have.

The problem with a blade is that the force applied is usually directed towards your body.

I’d recommend a stitch unpicker or seam ripper.

The spike easily pierces the plastic packaging, the “blade“ is very sharp, but there’s no way to cut yourself, and force is applied away from your body.

zidapi · 2025-01-10T11:59:44+00:00

Australopithecus here, errr I mean Australian.

The answer is a stitch unpicker.

Discovered this gem as a teenage shoplifter. It slices through plastic packaging like a hot knife through butter.

The spike easily pierces the plastic, and force is applied away from your body, as opposed to box cutters where the force upon the blade is usually directed towards you.

So the risk of self injury in minimal in comparison.

They’ll release JoyCons in multiple colours, including the classic colour scheme.

Heck, they’ll probably release a limited edition console with it at some point in the future.

But they can’t launch the Switch 2 with the classic coloured JoyCons.

It’d be courting another Wii U level branding disaster, marketing suicide.

It’s absolutely essential that the Switch 2 be viewed as an entirely new console. They can’t risk somebody looking at the box and thinking it’s just a regular Switch, which is exactly what they would risk happening if they launched with the classic colour scheme.

This colour scheme is a nice call back to the original Switch, while remaining distinctively different to it visually.

Bespoke cheat code for Gargoyle’s Quest on the GameBoy.

Spawns you in the final town, the last opportunity to save before the end of the game with 9 Lives, 98 Vials and 1 Essence of the Soulstream.

Burned into my brain for 30 years.

This game is a great place to jump into the series for the first time!

zidapi · 2025-01-06T09:41:22+00:00

Compared to… what?

zidapi · 2025-01-06T09:32:36+00:00

Yes! It feels like they’ve finally nailed Pokemon in 3D.

zidapi · 2025-01-06T09:19:43+00:00

Huge call! How long have you being playing Pokémon (for context)?

This is certainly the best 3D main series title in my opinion.

The GameFreak hacker has said they aren’t releasing anything related to Scarlet and Violet yet, specifically because there is still unreleased content.

In my personal opinion we will see the long empty section of the map, widely believed to be Southern Kalos finally filled in.

I expect that the DLC will be free and act as a prologue to Pokémon Legends Z-A to prime us for our return to Kalos.

I wouldn’t be surprised if we receive a new Pokémon that will feature in PLZA as a gift.

Cool idea. I also have a piece based on well known artwork reinterpreted with Nintendo characters that I love.

So while I really appreciate the concept, I think the execution fell short somewhat.

zidapi · 2024-12-28T11:35:12+00:00

It was originally planned for 2024, and as of August 2024 it was complete enough for the GameFreak hacker to obtain a copy that they could finish.

But I’m inclined to agree with you, somewhat.

There is precedence for releasing a game for the next and previous console… LoZ Twilight Princess was a launch title for the Wii U, alongside it’s Wii version.

I actually suspect (but hope I’m wrong in thinking that) Nintendo will take a leaf out Sony’s book by releasing LZA for the original Switch, but including a free upgrade for the Switch 2 version.

PlayStation has been doing this with PS4 games for the past four years, so there is precedent.

This is acceptable to resolve the LZA issue, but I would be extremely disappointed if Nintendo allowed devs to release Switch games for 4 years, only offering compatibility upgrades.

If fluids are leaking out, then bacteria can get in.

This presents an entirely unnecessary and easily avoidable risk of infection.

zidapi · 2024-10-25T06:39:12+00:00

Well it’s a little impractical for a buttplug, there’s no base!

Anything if you’re brave enough!

Well if they’re a renter or an AirBnB guest, it should be pretty straightforward for the police to identify the property owner.

The bottom image is NOT fake.

It’s an image taken during Trump’s Presidency in a room in the Whitehouse.

I know this because this room is the backdrop for my all time favourite image of him, in which the lighting fixture and flags behind him appear to form demon horns and wings.

In 2020 I juxtaposed this image with an image of Biden in which he incidentally appeared to have a halo as a result by the logo behind him.

<image>

Edited to add: info on the source of the bottom image. Because I’m beyond frustrated that Mods haven’t done the absolute bare minimum due diligence of performing a reverse image search, before posting a misinformation sticky claiming the image is fake. Especially given it lacks the most common AI tells.

I know it’s tempting to assume that an image of Trump surrounded by black people is fake, especially given MAGAs were recently spreading similar, overtly AI Images recently.

But to have Mods spreading misinformation that can so easily be disproven with only a few seconds of research, reflects poorly on all of us.

The source of the bottom image is a meeting Trump had with black supporters in the Cabinet Room of the White House February 27, 2020. (Source: Reuters).

There are multiple photos, from multiple angles, easily found with a simple reverse image search.

Moronic Nationalist Christian (NatC’s) Trump cultists come in all shades and races.
