This dude was selling Pokemans with modified move sets for up to $80 a pop and could now face up to 5 years in prison.

Is this not insane? Or do you think he could face a much less severe sentence and the 5 years prison and $30k just the upper limit for this particular set of crime?

Holy shit.

Enjoyed blasting through the campaign. Except where you notice they released the chapters later and the difficulty spikes are pretty bonkers if you ask me.

The way you build your character is also much more manageable compared to something like Path of Exile too, so that's a big plus for me.

(MAJOR UPDATE: ONLY 10 HRS REMAIN BEFORE SHUT DOWN AT TIME OF WRITING THIS UPDATE)

Hello everyone. For everyone who owns a 3DS, 2DS, or even a Wii U, I'm sharing this out to as many places I can think of, where the awareness can make an impact. Please read if you own a 3DS or Wii U at all, or know anybody who does:

The SpotPass servers by Nintendo will be shutting down on April 8th, 2024 (4PM PDT). The SpotPass Archival Project has been created by the 3DS and Wii U Homebrew modding community, to make sure as much SpotPass data as humanly possible is preserved for the foreseeable future and not lost forever in the coming few days. A huge amount of SpotPass content is essentially free DLC for various games and apps, and they could have been installed without your knowledge. They are not required for most games to play, but without their archival, many games will lose DLC content permanently and some features may no longer work. This archival project can only be made possible by the donations of any individuals owning a 3DS or Wii U (not a donation of money, but rather a donation of SpotPass data stored on your system)

This data can only be collected before April 8th. Any and all dumps made or sent after the end-date will be useless due to the nature of how the archive process works. The dump does not require you to have a modded or Homebrewed console, and can be done completely unmodded. All you need extra as an unmodded user, is a PC or laptop. There is also zero risk of having your console banned; so rest assured. The guides can be found here: https://spotpassarchive.github.io/#guides.

Update: For those who can't recall the difference, what we're archiving here is SpotPass, not StreetPass. The difference between the two are: StreetPass: Is a 3DS exclusive offline wireless tech which connects your 3DS to other systems and shares various bits of data with random people you pass on the street (in the real world). For example, in the game StreetPass Mii Plaza, the data sent to random passers are your Mii, along with your most recently played game, and your Mii can be played with in the various minigames that StreetPass Mii Plaza offers, and vice versa. SpotPass: Is an online wireless tech available on both the 3DS and Wii U. Unlike StreetPass, it does not connect to other 3DS systems directly, but rather connects to Nintendo's SpotPass servers online. The data sent could be anything from notifications, to in-game content. This is what we're archiving; not StreetPass data. Streetpass is not an online service, and thus does not lose content after April 8th; but SpotPass data will be lost after the 8th if it's not archived. Wikipedia article.

Even if you make the dump before April 8, and send it to them afterwards, the dump will be useless regardless, this is why we are frantically trying to spread the word about the project as quickly as possible, as there is a lot of data that is still going to go away permanently regardless of the efforts of this project. The data is stored offline locally on your 3DS and Wii U, so you may be confused as to why you can't just make the dump after the date. For a better explanation, here is a Discord message from the official Discord server which explains things. I am not a developer of the project, I'm just someone who is passionate about gaming and technology preservation, and wants to get this out there, and the 3DS was a wonderful part of my late childhood.

The data is going to be used by the developers to put towards developing a replacement for the SpotPass network, similar to what was done by the Homebrew community who created the Nintendo Network replacement, dubbed "Pretendo Network".

Even if you don't think you have much data on your system, please help dump it towards the archive as soon as possible (within the next couple of days), because you likely have some things you don't know about. The process does not require a modded console at all, and the official site here, has instructions for both users of modded consoles, and users of unmodded consoles. You can ask for help in the official Discord server of the project here and people will be very willing to help.

There are also many many niche, lesser known games, which have absolutely no data archived for them still to this day, so any help archiving them is vital. Thanks for reading, and I ask you to also share this out to as many people as you possibly can. Even if you don't own a 3DS or Wii U, please share this out to anyone you know who owns one, or even those whom you suspect might have one.

Edit: added some extra information, removed some no longer relevant information, fixed some typos, improved some wording slightly.

I finished Persona 3 Reload last month. I thought it was definitely not as good as Persona 5 (which I still have a fair bit of complains about).

The gameplay loop itself felt much staler than Persona 5's mostly because of Tartarus. Plus there is that overall weirdness around how the male protagonist is someone who all the female social links "depend on". I read that this weird aspect has in fact been toned down from the original game where unless you decide to involve yourself in a romantic relationship with the female social links, you can't max then which... I don't know what to say about it.

The soundtrack was really good though especially the songs with lyrics in them. Whenever I listen to "Color Your Night" I get close to breaking a tear for personal reasons. I think everyone should listen to "Color Your Night" and "Full Moon Full Night" since they are objectively good songs.

Overall I expected it to be much worse than Persona 5 but it turned out to be not as bad as I had expected.

For those of you who don't care, I promise this is the last post about this. All further discussion can be relegated to the matrix space.

Matrix Space: https://matrix.to/#/!tyfTFjggYNboCPZPKo:envs.net?via=envs.net

The main base isn't anything special, at least for now, but it's enough to protect from the main planet's frequent boiling storms. If any comrades need to be picked up, you can use the S.O.S. channel in the matrix space. All four stars are yellow, so no special hyperdrives are required to traverse the whole federation.

Portal Coords:

Hexadecimal Transcription: 4 0 6 E F E F B 4 9 1 3

Atlas Transcription: Tepaavpe Dipedigu Teudzago

Feel free to join us! No other planets except the main one in System Alpha have been discovered, so feel free to name them how you wish, and build small outposts, huge bases, or anything in between! I can't wait to meet all of you in our marxist-leninist space commune!

edit: thank you for the pin! heart-sickle

What is the Hexbear Federation of Star Systems?

The HFSS is a group of four star systems in the Euclid Galaxy that is a place for all Hexbears to build bases, farms, and many other glorious creations in a collaborative effort to build a bustling community in the cold vastness of space. While it is not finished yet, when it is complete it will consist only of 1 major shared base among the members, with the rest of the planets being untouched and ready to be explored, conquered, and cultivated by the Hexbears of the galaxy!

Are there any rules?

In No Man's Sky, players are allowed to set their own boundaries for what is and isn't acceptable, (e.g. dictating who can edit parts in your bases, etc) so the only rule we need to worry about is just to be nice to your comrades!

How do I join?

Shoot me a DM on Hexbear, and include your matrix username. I'll invite you to the matrix space.When it's ready I will send portal coordinates to the matrix space. If you don't have all the glyphs unlocked, you can arrange for me or another hexbear to pick you up.

I'm really excited to see how this community turns out, even if only a few comrades end up participating. If you don't have No Man's Sky I'd recommend it, despite it being pricey (I think it's on GOG so you may be able to pick up an installer and still play multiplayer). Thank you for reading, and I look forward to meeting you guys in game!

P.S. : I am open to name suggestions as well. I suck ass at naming things.

Lemmygrad comrades are welcome too, of course. If you have ideas for a name that includes y'all as well, feel free to let me know.
