I'm getting scarier "Gravity Falls" vibes off of this. Looks interesting.

Quoting: CatKiller
Quoting: sonic2kkMy understanding was that a user should dump these from their Switch console, and that this is, at the very least, not illegal.
If someone has put a "technical measure" (no matter how flimsy) in place to prevent copying, the DMCA makes it a crime for Americans to circumvent that technical measure even if the making and using the copy would be otherwise legal - unless it's for one of the very short list of activities that are given a three-year exemption.
There are exceptions to the DMCA (for example, for "Computer Programs—Jailbreaking" and "Computer Programs—Video Game
Preservation," see https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2021-10-28/pdf/2021-23311.pdf [External Link]), but I'm not a lawyer and I wouldn't even want to begin teasing out whether these or any of the other current exceptions applies here.

Quoting: PoliticsOfStarvingI have a DS that won’t charge, battery’s dead and I can’t find a replacement.
I had a Nintendo DS battery swelling up on me, and back in October I rolled the dice on a name-of-the-week replacement off Amazon. This is what I purchased, and it is working fine so far: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B8ZGJWJT [External Link].

World of Goo 2 announced for release in 2024

I have purchased World of Goo at least five times over the years, first for myself and then for other people. I even purchased the Nintendo Wii port - which is excellent, by the way. I have the soundtrack in my music library. This is awesome.

Story Mode for Them's Fightin' Herds cancelled and active development to cease

I'm genuinely bad at fighting games, but I do enjoy them. I have Them's Fightin' Herds on my Steam Deck and it's a blast. Great character design, easy to pick up, and outright silly.

It's a shame that the developers won't get to complete extra features, but the game as it stands is excellent.

I'm not into Counter-Strike, but I am extremely curious how well it plays on an i5-750, a processor that came on the market 14 years ago.
