I believe that’s the Grindr logo.

I don’t have any specific words or anything, but I do have some general tips that might be useful.

You can exclude words from search results by placing a - at the beginning of the word you don’t want. For example if you want real hedgehogs and not Sonic the Hedgehog:

hedgehog -sonic

Another tip is you can put quotation marks around a phrase to search for content with that exact set of words. This can be useful when searching for something like a band with a name that just isn’t search friendly.

“the band”

There’s a great browser add-on called uBlacklist that can block specific sites from from search results. One particularly useful feature is subscriptions, which allows users to share public lists that update automatically.

The reason the US doesn’t do that is thanks to lobbying by companies like Intuit and H&R Block.

I haven’t personally seen it connected to Digimon World 2, though I did watch a Japanese streamer play through the game. They know about the PocketStation and Pocket Digimon World but apparently they’re rare and expensive, if they even still work. Guessing the battery will need replacing, as it’s about that age.

PocketStations aren’t actually that rare or expensive. A quick look on eBay has them going for around $30 (unless you want a black one). The battery will definitely need replacing, but it’s just a CR2032 (the same as a Dreamcast’s VMU) and a pack of 10 of those is under $10. The Pocket Digimon World games aren’t too expensive either with the original going for around $20 and the other two being around $30 each. All together that does add up to quite a bit, but it isn’t that bad when there are some games out there that go for hundreds.

If I recall correctly the PS1/PSX has a region lock chip, so to use it you’d need a Japanese PlayStation, a Japanese copy or burn of Digimon World 2 and one of these. Sounds expensive.

It is possible to bypass the region lock with a mod chip (requires soldering) or an exploit like Tonyhax International (requires a memory card, a way to install the exploit, and possibly one of several specific games).

That’s basically what rabbits do. From Wikipedia:

Easily digestible food is processed in the gastrointestinal tract and expelled as regular feces. To get nutrients out of hard to digest fiber, rabbits ferment fiber in the cecum (part of the gastrointestinal tract) and then expel the contents as cecotropes, which are reingested (cecotrophy or refection). The cecotropes are then absorbed in the small intestine to use the nutrients. Soft cecotropes are usually consumed during periods of rest in underground burrows.

For Japanese I use an IME (input method editor), specifically Fcitx. Basically it lets you type in romaji and converts that into kana or kanji. Just note that it needs an additional package (like fcitx-mozc) for each language.

I got distracted and forgot there were two guys halfway through the sentence.

At some point in the early 90s my mom’s American Staffordshire Terrier was stolen. About a week later a pair of guys show up at the house with the dog. “Lady, please take your dog back!”. He shoves the dog through the doorway and they take off as fast as he can.

Mom’s side of the family is Catholic and my dad’s side is super reserved, so I got nothing. Anything I know comes from school health classes (which were actually really informative) and the internet.

My mom also believes that this sort of thing shouldn’t be taught in schools (at all) because it should be up to the parents to decide what their kids should know about the subject. She also says that her parents never taught her anything.

Okay, so for some context .ml is run by the Lemmy devs and the devs are openly tankies (authoritarian communists). .ml, along with Lemmygrad (also run by the devs) and Hexbear are known as the Tankie Triad. While not as bad as the other two, .ml still has a lot of tankies compared to instances that aren’t part of the triad. Additionally, .ml used to be the recommended instance (until .world came along), making it one of the more populated instances. Most other instances defederate with Lemmygrad and Hexbear, but not necessarily .ml.

Basically, there’s a lot of extremely opinionated and often combative people there and provoking them (intentionally or not) is very easy.

That’s my understanding of the situation anyway.

Support for Archos devices was removed from daily builds in 2020.

This reminds me that I once read about a Thompson Twins game that was distributed as a flexi disc record. In order to actually play the game it had to be copied to a cassette first. Apparently it’s pretty rare, since it was only available as a bonus with a specific issue of a magazine.

This is correct, however SNES Virtual Console games were also exclusive and a number of games were enhanced on New consoles.

If you’re looking to save a bit of money, you might want to consider a Japanese console and modding it. 3DS prices are pretty crazy at the moment and no one knows if they’ll ever come down.

It’s recommended that you use a dedicated card for FreeMCBoot.

A flashcart is definitely the best option for compatibility. Just one thing you should know about playing GBA on a DS or 3DS is that it lacks an extension port, so any link cable functionality is out of the question. As for the screen, the DS(i) has a slightly higher resolution, so there’ll be a black border around the picture, but no stretching or anything. The 3DS has a much higher resolution screen and by default it scales the image up, but not to a whole number and that makes it blurry. The 3DS does that to DS games too, but can play in the original resolution by holding Start or Select when launching a game (you would need to do this every time, but I think there’s a way to make it permanent with custom firmware).

Crystal is very special to me. I always felt like I was “wrong” as a child for not liking “girl things.” It was the first game I ever played that offered a female protagonist. That was something that told me that I was okay the way I am. I know it’s kind of silly, but it really helped me become comfortable with myself.

Irisu Syndrome! is a favorite of mine. It’s only from 2008, so I personally don’t consider it retro. It’s tricky to learn at first since it doesn’t tell you anything about how to play and I don’t recall there being a manual. It’s also one of those games that you can’t really say too much about without spoiling things.

The Parallel has a number of issues and generally isn’t a cart I can recommend. Here’s a guide on what carts are and aren’t recommended.

I think the only recommended plug & play option for PS2 is the RAD2X cable. It’s basically a stripped down console specific RetroTINK. I have one for my Saturn and it looks great.

And installation requires some pretty advanced soldering, so if you can’t do that then you’re looking over another $100 for a professional to do it.

Personally, I’m just sticking with the Carby HDMI adapter that I already have.
