Sure, however you choose to call it, it's not "original hardware".

It's still emulation. Yes, it's emulating hardware, as close as possible and often indistinguishably close, but it's still emulation.

For example, my EDGB X7 runs fine on any real Game Boy I have, but can't switch games on an Analogue Pocket.
Another weird issue that I had was that if I launched my Pokemon Crystal save on Pocket it would, for some reason, permanently change my character from a boy into a girl (without saving the game!). This wasn't happening on my Game Boys (I restored the save a couple of times to test it).

It's a communist thing. Fair distribution of wealth and suffering.

I vote for fair distribution of suffering, instead of to just 100 people.

My brother and I were, like, 7 and 10, respectively, when we played this. Some things on the list were obvious, others (the heck is a "slalom"?!) we had to guess just by doing every possible thing you could do with a car. A couple day's work, bada-bing bada-boom.

People definitely would've given up nowadays.

Down here, salt is a way of life.

Sure, but that's not at all what we are discussing here. We are discussing the perception and overall approval of corporal punishment in conservative cultures.

And while methods that can actually inflict permanent damage to children would be perceived negatively even in conservative cultures, slaps would be approved by most.

But that's not an action. That's inaction. I mean, what needs to be done to stop him from actively compromising EU interests? Letting him do whatever he wants doesn't sound like an effective strategy.

Oh, I know that guy, that's Rice Pilav.

How do you suggest EU deals with Orban while he is actively trying to ignore the rest of the leaders of member states?

[–] abfarid@startrek.website 4 points 4 months ago

I don't speak German (other than DU HAST!), but I had ChatGPT translate it for me.
I'm not familiar with the user, but I wanted to know their reasoning. Nothing wrong with pointing out if EU or "the West" is doing something wrong, as long as it's constructive, and no blatant bias towards another party is displayed. So far I'm not seeing any explicit bias towards Russia or China, but thanks for the heads-up.

Their argument seems to boil down to "fighting Orban weakens EU". I suppose it's a somewhat reasonable position to have, but one, I must say, I don't quite agree with. And I would definitely like to hear their suggestion regarding how to deal with a member of a team who refused to play with the team.

Could you explain your position? Are you not against Russians entering EU/Schengen? Or are you against the methods used?
