  • Unfortunately there’s not one source, I used multiple guides and videos, and started over multiple times. This video was maybe the most helpful, but he doesn’t cover everything. You have to do some hunting on where to find the product keys for each system that needs them, and some systems require some extra steps to get working.

    The only system I can’t seem to get running at all is Sega Saturn for some reason. The PS2 emulator needed some extra fiddling with the graphical settings on some games. The WiiU needed a lot of extra steps to get working, both in the set up and in the settings. And for the switch, I managed to get the Eden emulator working, but don’t ask how I did that. I tried a couple times with no success until one time it magically showed up as an option. I also havent tried emulating any XBox games because most of them are available on other systems, but I might try getting the 360 working soon.

    I think the biggest thing that tripped me up is that the bios/keys files don’t typically go in their respective folders (with some exceptions like the WiiU), instead they all just get dumped directly in the Emulation\bios folder together. A lot of guides I found were giving the wrong directions for that.

    Just keep at it; if I can figure it out, I am certain you can too!






  • It raises it exclusively for the Costume Institute at the Met, which the group that preserves historical clothing. I just… Fuck. Are you really serious? How the hell do you look at that amount of money, look at the people starving on the streets, and conclude that this is a worthwhile function. Thats just fucking insane.

    Sorry, we can’t afford to build new housing or addiction centers, but thank God we can continue to preserve an evening dress from the 1940’s. That’s truly what matters in society.



  • I’m sorry, but I do not think that raising money for high fashion is in any way important given the current problems the world is facing. It’s like asking for donations for fancy new curtains while your fucking house is on fire.

    We do not need high fashion to survive. If every fashion designer dropped dead tomorrow, I promise you society would not crumble. We need healthcare. We need housing. We need our basic fucking needs met. Until that time, I will call events like this a collosal waste of time and money.








  • I just don’t get what the point of DRM software is. I don’t feel like it reduces piracy at all. As soon as one person cracks it, which they always do, the game is out there for people to download. Best case, companies have maybe a week or two between release and the crack. I really don’t believe there are that many people who want a game, would pirate it if they could, but are unable to wait a couple days for the crack and so just cave and buy it. Like, the extra revenue from these unicorns can not justify whatever they are spending to include DRM.

    So what exactly is the fear these companies have of not including DRM? Leaving it off doesn’t make piracy more widespread. Again, as soon as one person cracks it, EVERYONE has it. So what difference does it make if one person cracks it vs 1000’s of people cracking it if the end result is that it’s out there for anyone?
