Shutdown reminder!

With just 2 weeks left until the Nintendo Network shutdown, we'd like to take this time to remind everyone that we are accepting network packet dumps for all games, for both the Wii U and 3DS! These packet dumps give us a glimpse into how the games operated when the official servers were still online. While technically possible to do without these dumps, having reference material like this will make the job of making replacement servers FAR easier once these servers go offline!

This is ESPECIALLY true for more obscure/less popular games, and games which have custom additions to them. Having network dumps for smaller games is just as, if not more, important than the bigger ones as we'd likely have much less reference material for them! We know everyone is excited to help get the big names going, but we can't forget the little guys either!

That being said, we appreciate ALL users who help us with this crowd sourcing! We have gotten a LOT of amazing data from everyone so far, all of which will definitely help us moving forward.

For those interested in contributing network packet dumps, see our guide on our website here https://pretendo.network/docs/network-dumps. This page also includes a section listing some games we consider "high priority", though these are NOT the only games we still need data for.

For those curious about our current network dump stats, so far we have:

• 99 HokakuCafe dumps (specifically Wii U)
• 528 HokakuCTR dumps (specifically 3DS)
• 15 general WireShark dumps (applies to both consoles)
• 65 general proxy dumps (applies to both consoles)

NOTE: These numbers come from the number of network packet dumps submitted through the Bandwidth upload command, and may not represent the real total number of dumps submitted.

Companies *need* to be liable for everything their "AI" outputs

I really loved the case when AI chatbot of an airline hallucinated nonexistent discount and the court ruled that the airline has to give that discount to the customer

Suddenly, the chatbot disappeared from their website 🙃

there's three types of nix lesbians:

- nix crimes (derogatory (ironic))
- nix crimes (derogatory (unironic))
- nix crimes (extremely derogatory (extremely unironic))

"Sometimes people use “respect” to mean “treating someone like a person” and sometimes they use “respect” to mean “treating someone like an authority”

and sometimes people who are used to being treated like an authority say “if you won’t respect me I won’t respect you” and they mean “if you won’t treat me like an authority I won’t treat you like a person”

and they think they’re being fair but they aren’t, and it’s not okay."

So if an employee comes to work under the influence of hallucinogens it's "unprofessional" and "a felony" but when the AI used to replace said employee starts hallucinating random nonsense it's "just a quirk of the technology"??

As a young man, when I needed to look up an API, I wrote to a friend.

humans are so funny. we invented digital audio, and we thought we'd finally banished that analogue demon, generation loss. but then we invented digital distribution, and since bandwidth and disk space are expensive, we invented a new kind of generation loss, and we suffer again
