i haven't sold any of the pal saturn games yet. ebay only lets me list a few games a month because of selling limits and thanks to brexit, it's taking ages to sell anything. uk buyers were like 99% of the market and they won't buy from non uk sellers now. luckily I found a buyer for all the jp games on a forum, but they're getting a steep discount.

Panzer Dragoon Saga is another awesome exclusive in that vein. I'm selling all my Saturn games including those 2 unfortunately.

When hell freezes over.

there's only one n64 game that's still worth playing on an n64. The few games that still hold up have all got upgraded ports on better consoles, while there are still upwards of 80 great saturn games that you can either only play on Saturn or the ports to other consoles are inferior.

Let's look at the n64s library.

The 2 Zelda games have shit draw distance on n64 so are better played on gamecube/wii/switch.

Mario 64 has a horrible camera so is much better elsewhere.

Treasure made 3 n64 games which was great in the 90s, but now one of them is better on dreamcast (bangai-o), one is better on wii (Sin and Punishment) while the other one is highly forgettable (mischief makers).

All of Rare's games are collectathon garbage with awful cameras that don't hold up - except Goldeneye. Perfect Dark is trash.

Capcom almost completely ignored the console outside of resident evil 2, which is better elsewhere thanks to its highly compressed video, and a botched attempt to make castlevania in 3d.

Konami didn't release anything, Namco didn't release anything, Square didn't release anything. There were 0 2d fighters or shmups or arcade ports. 0 rpgs...

Nintendo's usual sequel shovelware Smash Bros, Mario Kart, Mario Golf/Tennis, Animal Crossing are all vastly better on other consoles...

So what does n64 still have to offer outside of Goldeneye's deathmatch mode with license to kill activated? Mario Party? Those games were shit even back then.

Don't worry, friend. As long as Joe keeps that minimum wage increase at bay, keeps on building those harm-reducing kid cages and dropping bombs on those villainous Syrians, the homeland will remain safe from Trumpism.

The last time I handed in my admin hat for a year, I had time to write w/tankies and a ton of other anti-red stuff, and infiltrate and tear redfash spaces apart. I think it's in your best interests if I'm wasting my free time doing pointless janitorial work around here, otherwise I'd be putting my energy into something more personally rewarding. And nothing is more rewarding to me than setting fire to your creepy clubhouses and exposing your fascistic beliefs.

Anyway it's not like I'm going to stop calling you a bootlick if I'm not an admin. If anything I have to be much nicer to you boot afficionados when I'm an admin. It's gross.

I think they'd just ignore the license and do what they want with the code. They've already taken the 'running postmill' credit away so they won't even give basic attribution.

I think the current license is fine, it's not like emma has the resources to sue people that break the license.

I wouldn't really want postmill to become more restrictive, was just fishing for downvotes.

Left-leaning activists

Of course they're on twitter if they're 'activists'. Their entire raison d'être is to stand on a soapbox in the town square preaching to the crowds of peasants as they go about their day. Isolating themselves where they can't speak to passers by wouldn't serve their interests.

The right are only embracing alternate media because the establishment media has forced them to - by purging them from their platforms. Since 'the left' / 'activists' are no threat to the establishment, they have no reason to relocate. The twitter left are milquetoast af, all they do is retweet 'progressive' politicians and prat on about how much nicer uncle Joe is than their last ruler.

Our resignations were not capricious; they came after years of hard work in which we struggled to develop a deeper practice of feminism within BRRN through creative exploration and concrete proposals. However, these efforts were sabotaged by the very patriarchal culture we were attempting to challenge.

Because BRRN lacked the framework to manage internal disagreements, any type of strong critique or call for change was treated as a dangerous source of destabilization and received strong pushback from militants who were comfortable with the status quo. These toxic dynamics were on full display in the leadup to BRRN’s annual convention which took place virtually in September 2020. Every point on the agenda became a battleground; we demanded substantial change to address what we experienced as an organizational crisis while our critics vacillated between maligning our intentions and minimizing our concerns.

Why do anarchists keep replicating political parties / vanguards 1:1 but renaming them to 'federations'? I really don't understand what they're trying to accomplish. Imagine spending years of your life fighting with misogynists for control of an organization (an artificial construct only held together by collective will). It's so incredibly pointless.

Imagine having all that wealth and demanding someone with 200 to their name pays him rent. He's like a landlord.

Anyone accusing you of being a serial manipulator isn't worthy of your love and energy. If he thinks that little of you, why is he even with you? These weird ass power games men play to try and turn people into their property.
