Holy Shit, is this the real SCP-001?

I forgot to check if I could pirate and just went ahead with the switch purchase assuming piracy was impossible. Lol, worst mistake I ever made. Now I have a save file in TOTK half-way done with the game and idk if I would ever finish the game.

Imfao, I just saw a cat in the pet store (a rescue put their cats in those transparent cages and just left them on display in the pet store), I applied online, answered a list of questions over email, then a few days later went there to meet with the volunteer at the organization, paid the adoption fee fee, and got a cat.

Like lol, do dogs really get that complicated?

But then you’re supporting google itself 👀

Also, they closed source pixel-specific code, making it much more difficult to do future securitu updates. If I’m gonna spend $500+, I rather spend it on a Fairphone.

Used market can mitigate the “google makes money from you” part, but there are so many carrier variants that are “unlocked” but not bootloader unlocked, and I don’t like playing lootboxes with real money, like okay I buy a phone, oh shit its a verizon and can’t unlock bootloader, and the seller refuses return, and platform sides with seller because its technically “unlocked” because the sim unlock is all the normies care about.

Well, I’m gonna try anyways, if the unlock doesn’t work for me, I’m gonna have to pray to Mr. Mangione again, wish me luck? 👀

Bruh, I hate how Nintendo only lets you have ONE save file in most of their games, especially in BOTW and TOTK so I have to intentionally try to trigger the autosave and use that as a reload point when I’m not ready to overwrite my only save yet. Like I would load the save, before doing anything, i’d fast travel to a random shrine or town, wait for the autosave icon to pop up, wait for like 5-10 seconds, check the load menu (basically “copying” my only save into an autosave, since I haven’t done anything in the in-game world yet, I can reload this autosave in case I make a mistake with my manual save), and then I go explore a new place or fight some monster.

But they only allow 5 autosaves, so if you explore too long, you can’t revert the state of your world.

What the fuck nintendo?

Also, wtf is a monthly subscription to backup save files?

And for third party games, you cannot export the save files to a pc.

Fuck this bs, worse mistake of my life.

(BOTW was fun, but nintendo sucks, TOTK feels kinda like a clone of BOTW, got so burned out from nintendo games)

The list of phones I was thinking off:

-Pinephone (but it’s slow, buggy, and laggy tho :/) -Fairphones (easy bootloader unlock, compatible with Lineage, e/OS/, CalyxOS (Calyx temporarily paused development), expensive because it has to be imported… US tariffs :/) -Moto G 5G 2024 (supposed to be unlockable, but apparantly requires internet and requesting unlock codes from Motorola, I’m not feeling too happy about that)

So yea idk, leaning towards the Moto, its the cheaper options, and its better than pinephone. Haven’t gotten it yet, but planning for it, I’ll have to figure out how android SDK and terminals work first. And I’m not sure if it would actually unlock, I’ll have to see if Moto’s unlock servers want to play nice, if not, I’d have to return it and start looking for, idk, maybe those phones made by the company “Nothing”, but only Nothing 2 is supported by Custom ROMs and idk if I can even find a Nothing 2.

Moto G 5G 2024 is supported by Lineage OS anf CalyxOS (Calyx temporarily paused development for now), it’s around $200 USD ($140 on discount right now) is supposedly unlockable, although you need an internet connection and request unlock codes from Motorola, which is… not exactly comforting because they could turn off the unlock servers at any time. (And carrier variants aren’t unlockable afaik). Disclaimer: Haven’t tried it yet… probably getting one soon to try unlocking (if unlocking fails, I’m just gonna return it)

Lmfao my SteamDeck’s audio broke for some reason while I was messing with Lutris (because yaRrr 🏴‍☠️), so I had to copy-paste a random redditor’s terminal commands into konsole and I honestly am not knowledged enough to know if it was malicious, but it had a few upvotes and was up for more than a week without getting taken down, so I just assume it’s probably fine.

One of these days, I’m gonna copy paste malware into the terminal lol.

In my opinion: Android used to be a 7/10, iOS at 3/10, now after Google’s announcement, its a 4/10.

For now at least, Google still allows Torrent clients and Firefox with extensions (like uBlock Origin), and this has been the case for the past decade. Google only requires a $25 one time fee for a developer account, Apple requires a recurring $99 per year payment. So Android is still better even with the restriction in mind.

Just pay $25, download apks from anywhere, sign the apps yourself. Supposedly they aren’t checking the contents (I mean, they have like tons of malware on Google Play and they never check those either, I doubt they are inspecting every single app), so just don’t distribute the apps to anyone other than yourself or some trusted friends and that’ll probably keep it under Google’s radar.

I’m currently planning on getting a Moto G 5G 2024 (about $140 right now on discount) for Lineage OS (CalyxOS was also supported, but they recently paused development so I’ll have to wait for that to be resolved). I was also considering a Pixel for Graphene, but its too expensive, and I don’t wanna deal with used market because a lot of then are ambiguous about if its a carrier variant and I just am too depressed to deal with the headache of that.

Even after 2027, Android will still be slightly better than iOS (in my opinion). Android still would (probably) have torrent apps, Firefox uBlock Origin (I can’t guarantee they won’t change it in 2028 or something). And iOS also seems to alway kill apps in the background from my experience, I could never get an app to synching data in the background, but Android is less aggressive with killing apps. Like I literally tried to plug in a USB flash drive and they said I had to install the Sandisk app then I have to keep the app on the foreground to finish transfer, but Android is doesn’t even need any apps, and transfers work in the background. Also, I don’t think iPhones have multitasking with 2 apps on at the same time yet.

Mars Congressional Republic?

Laconian Empire?

My parents believe that democrats are giving “illegal” immigrants welfare.

We are a family of legal documented immigrants, there were barely any benefits for us (especially not the first 5 years), and anything that you could get is means tested and you need all your legal documents ready. Like wtf how do you expect undocumented immigrants of getting any welfare, wtf.

(No they do not watch fox news, its some news account thing that they follow on WeChat.)

Shocking? The idea of “self-deport” existed a long time ago.

Wherever you end up, you wouldn’t be a citizen there and they’ll just deport you again.

Idk, never tried because I just assumed it was impossible and already bought legit copies of the games I wanted to play, but recently doing some searching and there are videos of people running Zelda games on SteamDeck so I was kinda sad to find out I probably should’ve tried doing the piracy route first.

Maybe if I find time, I’ll try pirating anyways for shits and giggles. But can’t transfer the save from my legit copies tho (because nintendo doesn’t seem allow saves to be exportable, its either cloud sync or stored on the local device), so I probably would just have to finish the game on the switch.

Btw, I thought the switch allows exporting saves so I could continue the game later on other platforms, but nope. Its cloud backup only and that is a fucking monthly subscription (they delete your saves 180 days after your “nintendo online” subscription expires)

So… yeah… feels like I made a mistake. Never gonna get another nintendo (the only reason I did was because I haven’t really played nintendo games since early childhood like nearly 2 decades ago.)

The legend of “fuck I can’t find the remaining shrines without resorting to an internet guide, oh well I’m too bored to 100% this game, lets just start TOTK now”

Or maybe the legend of “Maybe I shouldn’t have gotten a switch, I didn’t know I could’ve just pirated nintendo games on a SteamDeck”

Because its a protest flag done out of spite.

Just like people can wave a Ukraine flag to protesr against Russia, or Palestine flag to protest againsr Israel. Its for solidarity.
