The reason that saves cannot be backed up is for security reasons. This is also why saves are on the console and not cartridges: so hacked saves cannot enter the system.

Hackers also discovered evidence of a new version of the Switch hardware, code name Mariko. It’s based on the “T214” variant of the Tegra X1 chip, whereas the original Switch was the “T210”.

Hoaxes like what you’re alleging are much less common now. A hoax would get disproved quickly.

We can only hope.

In other crimes, this is handled by how a reasonable person “should have known”. Compare with the crime of buying stolen property: if you buy something from a retail store, and the owner was actually putting stolen goods on the shelves, you wouldn’t be found guilty. But if you bought something from the back of a…

Even if you ask for ID, and they show you fake ID, you’d still be guilty under these laws.

I was questioning the design of such laws. I’m uncomfortable with laws that criminalize normal behavior randomly based on a variable out of someone’s control. Almost always, the person prosecuted is really a creep (like this guy), but going to prison for being unlucky is unfair.

That definitely puts him on the creep side to start.

That’s the problem: there is no way to know. I don’t see a good solution to the problem, because either creeps get away with molesting minors, or people with no criminal intent get prosecuted. I just normally follow the adage that it’s better to let the guilty go free than to punish the innocent. But that would…

I’ve never liked how such charges can occur even if you truly don’t know that they’re underage. Most of the time, the perpetrator *does* know, but when they don’t, this is a justice system gone awry.

If you have a way to execute those cards as instructions on the CPU, yes you do win.

Article 2 Section 3 of the Constitution: “He shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union”.

In some percentage of Super NES systems, pressing the select button of Mario All-Stars’s version of Mario 3 will change your current outfit as a debug cheat. This is because the debug enable variable wasn’t initialized. As a result, the variable had whatever value RAM had at power-on, which differs randomly from…

No, young wild cats meow too. Meowing is a kitten behavior that generally disappears in adulthood. However, when cats live with humans, they figure out that we don’t respond to most cat communication, but we do respond to meowing, so they will meow for us.

A Plan for the Improvement of Spelling in the English Language

English would need both thorn and eth, because we have both sounds (“th”ick versus “th”en).

English has some counter words, but yes, in Japanese, you almost always need one. Example of English counter words: “sheet” of paper, “ream” of paper.

“Labo”/“rabo” (ラボ) is the Japanese abbreviation for the English word “laboratory”.

The Dragon Quest/Warrior 1 run was crazy. It’s basically a TAS that can be done by humans.

I wish that the video had shown things like doing wall kicks and backflips, to show how crazy they look from Mario’s perspective.
