Home consoles were region locked based on physical barriers in the slots that would block a cartridge from a different region. You could just extract those barriers and the console could play any cartridge from any region, though. Handhelds had been different, though. Up to the DSi, you could buy a handheld cartridge from any country and it would plug in and play no problem.

OoT for me. FF7 is great, but I play OoT at least once a year. 7 I’ve only finished once.

DSi introduced region locking to Nintendo handhelds. I stopped buying them at that point. The next Nintendo system I bought was the switch, which was no longer region locked. The DSi kicked that off, so it might be my least favorite.

Favorite hardware is a much tougher nut to crack. Could be my first console, n64, or my first gaming apparatus, the Gameboy Pocket. But the PSVR1 blew me away and made me a little less into flat games. The PS5 has everything I love from PS4 onward (and does VR), and the Steam deck streams my PS5 from bed while also playing pc, retro, and Xbox games and being a full on Linux machine.

I really enjoyed Ghostwire.

What, you mean like facebook and google?

It’s been known since before launch that it wouldn’t come with a display port cable. Not sure about the Bluetooth thing. I couldn’t say for sure, but I Imagine it probably says something in the item description and on the box itself.

I don’t even own an Xbox and I think this would just be a good thing in general.

I went to Thailand a few years ago. Tuktuks are awesome.

Websites and articles that have nothing to do with search or Google have to be designed specifically for Google’s search algorithm. I think that’s pretty crazy.

I’m more inclined to blame Microsoft for innovating subscriptions for online multiplayer & MTXs on consoles. As well as advertising on dashboards and everywhere else.

It’s just a favorite that I replay at least once a year. It came out when I was the just the right age for it, and even today it’s like chicken soup for my soul.

Monster Hunter World GTA V Ocarina of Time

Then I’d paint cave walls with my stories for future generations to discover.

Oh yeah the gameplay and the environments made me really want to get into it more than anything else. I just couldn’t figure out why I was doing all this stuff or why I’m supposed to care about some dead character who I never met.

Yeah, I added 2FA. I will try disabling it to see if anything changes.

It’s been a month since I’ve been able to post anything from my lemmy.world account using any app.

Sony was dumb for buying them when they did. Bungie was already kind of in a downward spiral and giving them all that funding just gave them a much nicer toilet for the flushing.

I bought destiny 2 and a bunch of the DLC last year to see what it was all about and it was just a confusing, miserable mess of an experience from start to finish. Well, assuming it was start to finish. I still don’t know where the start was or what the hell was going on. I felt dumb for buying it.

I just started playing Palworld like 2 weeks ago and I’ve hardly found myself playing much else. A friend and I have a private server going and we’re just exploring, catching mons, tackling towers, and trying to make our base as efficient as possible.

I’m not blocking ads, I’m just avoiding them.

“Voluntary safeguards”

The safeguards, for anyone like me who didn’t know about them until now.

Basically, the guidelines include:

1. Ensuring AI systems are safe before public release.
2. Building AI systems to address issues like bias and discrimination.
3. Using AI to enhance security and protect privacy.
4. Sharing best practices across the industry.
5. Increasing transparency and providing clarity about AI’s capabilities and limitations.
6. Reporting on the risks and impacts of AI.
