The pic, for those who don’t want to give them clicks:

The Pokemon games on all of Nintendo’s handheld consoles emulate really cleanly on a smartphone.

I’m a sucker for the Gen 1 nostalgia every now and then.

Best way to play this these days? I have a disk from the early 2000s, but iirc the last time I tried to use it, it just prompted an update that led to a blizzard launcher… idr if it wanted me to buy a new digital copy or what, but I ultimately decided it was more work than it’s worth and gave up.

…these days I don’t think I even have a CD drive lol.

Private servers with boosted rates can scratch that itch while severely reducing the grind. Every couple years I’ll poke my head into one, level to endgame in like a week, do some raids, do some PVP, then completely forget it exists. Couple years later, rinse and repeat.

I must have worded something stupid in my initial post here - half the ‘retorts’ here have just restated the post I made. Or, tried to make?

Normally on Lemmy I wouldn’t get this much pushback for saying that being a gardener or w/e isn’t something to shit on.

I’d be willing to bet most everyone in this conversation is 99% on the same page, but some dumb miscommunication has us bashing heads.

The lack of experience is worthy of criticism; but the “Ex-Gardener and Grocery Store Assistant” is presented as not worthy of respect. Which is bullshit.

It has the same air as some trumpanzee dipshit trying to insult AOC by calling her a ‘bartender’, as though having been a bartender makes her unqualified for her current position, which is similarly bullshit.

Gardeners, store assistants, and bartenders all contribute to our society and shouldn’t be looked down on for their role; nor should that role be held against them when they decide to move on to something else.

…I guess my point is that gardening and entry-level-grocery are completely fine and expected experience for a 22 year old; but that no 22 year old could have the experience to do well as a leader in terror prevention. So, there’s a distinction between criticizing the absence of experience (justified), vs criticizing someone for having actual experience in an unrelated field (bullshit).

22-Year-Old

Obvious lack of experience and not qualified for the position.

Ex-Gardener and Grocery Store Assistant

Completely irrelevant, and not something to criticize. God forbid people get a shit starter job when they’re joining the work force.

There is no why, bröther.

Witcher 1 is so bad it kinda goes full circle into having a certain charm.

It’s like the gaming equivalent of a pug: so ugly it’s cute.

…I recommend modding the fuck out of it to basically godmode blitz your way through the story so you can get on to Witcher 2 which is an actually decent game; and Witcher 3 which remains one of the best games on the market to-date.

Attribute to malice that which comes from a malicious source. This is Target we’re talking about.

Hanlon’s razor is unreasonably optimistic, imo.

Cooking is just chemistry that you can eat!

Hadn’t considered browning… do all sugars have some kind of caramelization process?

Do you know if she also struggles with lactose?

I’m not sure. Initially I thought no, but that website lists it as a no-go. It’s a disaccharide made up of glucose and galactose, which should both be fine, so /shrug. I need to research CSID more - never heard of it until earlier today from the mom.

I was initially thinking something like mango sticky rice (fructose, lactose, starch?) could be a good option, but rice is listed as a no-go as well.

I should probably check with the mom before I do too much more.

The two goals are 1) delicious, and 2) she won’t puke it up. Sugar-free could definitely fit the bill; but but there is some wiggle room with CSID, so I did want to find options that let her actually enjoy some sugar, just narrowed down to things like fructose.

Not to discredit the sugar free suggestions - 100% of those will be compatible!

I don’t think there would be any way to protect from that, but you’d have the same issue with full deletion.

On the flip side, keeping your personal online footprint small is definitely more secure.

Maybe we need a soft kill switch to disassociate content with an account after x amount of time. Like for me personally, I’ve put zero effort into mopping up old content, and as often as I post, I’m sure someone with the desire could put the pieces together and dox me.

I’ve left it up anyway cuz I don’t want to do to Lemmy what you’re concerned about, but if I could nuke all my content older than a few months into an anonymous version, I’d be all for that. Leave the info up for anyone who might benefit from it, but scrub my username.

That said, for community building sake, I’d hate to see posts go anonymous right out the gate like some 4chan shit; and posts should be associated with an account at least long enough for mods to have a reasonable amount of time to take action against an account that breaks the rules. But again, posts that are months old? The conversation there is over - my personal involvement is moot at that point, it’s just data now.

What about the pilots tho

In unrelated news, the graphics for the Switch 2 are fucking incredible - look at this shit! This is wild!

This just in: hobby people have had for basically their entire life has big number!!

I’m with you, but I don’t think we have the spine. Thus far we’ve got no reason at all to believe he’ll ever face legal justice, and every day I have less and less hope we’ll see vigilante justice.

Here’s hoping I’m wrong.

Honestly, golfing is the least destructive thing that man does. The more time he spends with a putter in his lands, the less time he spends sabotaging our country.

If he spends every second between now and 2028 on a golf course, that would be a best case scenario.
