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.

Can they teach the adults as well?

China won’t attack Russia. They’ll simply start moving there and gaslight that it’s Chinese land.

What, you mean like facebook and google?

I’ve always thought roblox was dumb, but its kind of just a playground. Kids need a playground where their imaginations are free to grow and thy’re in control. Somewhere they can interact and learn how to socialize safely with other children. When i was a kid, that was a walk to the park with friends to kick a ball around, riding a bicycle somewhere, exploring, and working out some dumb activities to do… Honest question: how comfortable are you with the idea of just letting your kids go to the park by themselves for hours on end?

For better or worse, it seems like sandbox creativity games like roblox are filling that void for some kids. Not saying roblox is an answer to a problem, just that kids seem to be utilizing it as a playground where they get to be creative and in control. Not sure why I’m bringing this up. It’s just a thought that occurred to me recently.

Is there any historical significance behind the “River to the sea” reference?

Edit:

“Between the river and the sea” is a fragment from a slogan used since the 1960s by an array of activists with different agendas. It has a range of interpretations around the world, from the genocidal to the democratic.”

”The full saying is a reference to land between the Jordan River to the east and the Mediterranean Sea to the west, encompassing Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories.

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.

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 holy hell that’s a good idea. I’m not a citizen of EU, but I am currently a working resident. Would my name qualify for this?

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.

Without using any videos, explain to me what this is.
