it is on 1688 for ~£57 now & there is a part of me thinking i could buy one but the lack of L2/R2 and 2nd stick limits its appeal as an emu device too much for me, most games that don't need those are playable on handhelds I already have. probably not worth it just for the knob jokes.....
Sorry, another person here

A thing that the #gameDad encouraged: lots of young people* very new to emulation who are now freaking out because the currently good ROM site is going down at the end of the month
the site in question came online in October 2022
ROM sites going offline is normal but this time there's an Unusual Amount of youngsters who don't know that it's normal because this is their First Time Ever and it's traumatic for them and, IDK, I kinda want to give them a hug and tell them it's all gonna be okay
* imagine "young people" said in a voice from a dusty skeleton crypt

When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

re: ukpol
I haven't gone through the full thing yet but will say if you're thinking about filling it out - be serious/thoughtful about it, consider the harms these restrictions would do to kids esp marginalised & abused ones, don't only talk about adult privacy/freedom as that's easier for them to dismiss
re: ukpol
Although a complete ban is the worst case scenario, any age-based measure would require everyone to age verify, and so present many of the same problems, many platforms would probably choose to block anyway. I suspect the wording is aimed at negotiating people down to more "agreeable" restrictions that would have the same effect in the end
re: ukpol
This includes all the hits - social media ban under 16, age restricting VPNs - as well as some more classic New Labour authoritarian bollocks like a digital curfew, time limits on particular apps, and various other restrictions

Heads up anyone who cares about young people's rights or internet freedom or privacy in the UK
The UK consultation on further "online safety" measures has opened up, anyone can participate, there are surveys for young people (10-21), parents/carers and the general public
