@Gargron they said mobile safari with cookies enabled

@brassmerino

@brassmerino umm, i currently don't have any image editing software since my main workstation is broken, but if you can do it i'll replace it

@brassmerino ahh i thought about asking but then thought it was intentional :( sorry

@brassmerino

@brassmerino i was just going to use your handle, unless you had something else in mind

@brassmerino yeah just post it! i'll put it in

a friend of mine is getting the error screen trying to register onto my instance from mobile and i have no idea what could possibly be going wrong, could someone please help me?

@turbodragon and right now i got a PVM (which is also hella expensive here unless you know tech junk shops and snatch them quick like my friend and i did) and i don't have the right cables for all my consoles (and cartridges are expensive anyway) so i'm just running emulators on my Wii which outputs native resolutions anyway and it's the same thing really

@turbodragon yeah retro gaming got BIG in my city (which is actually a metropolis with 11mil people in it so, figures) to the point where sketchy tech people have been shoving raspberry pis into generic cases with generic PS-clone USB controllers filled with emulators and pirated roms as "retro gaming machines" for the uneducated masses for a massive profit

(R$180-200 for a rpi, that's without bulk discount, R$30-40 for each controller, they sell it at R$500 and people think it's "cheap")

@turbodragon ahhh the odyssey 2 was kinda popular here i think! i know a few people who had one, but i've never really seen one myself in great detail

i've always wanted an n64 as a kid and could even afford an used one at one point right before retro gaming became so gougingly expensive here, but my dad didn't let me waste my money on one as a kid, and i guess that was for the best

i kinda have another system opened up to me now that i can load gamecube ISOs onto my wii and play them that way

@Elizafox that's a fact

@Elizafox she kept misgendering you after you left. every time she referred to my friend who came here in the male inflection i'd righteously act as i didn't know who she was talking about.

@Vann@glitch.social *hugs back just as tight* thank you.

@MutoShack@functional.cafe you'd be surprised

the sad part is i have a lot of consoles and computers that would be fun to play with but i take little to no joy playing with them by myself and wish i could bring people into my room to play with me

that makes it hard when most of my friends live in different corners of the world and the two or so i can actually meet in person are hard to coordinate with to come here and living with my deadnaming bigot racist dictatorship-supporting grandmother makes having an indoors social life impossible
