But hey, "yay new Rayman stuff!", right? God I am so tired of this shit

All your protesting online, writing to your MPs, attending protests, sharing news, keeping the conversation going is making changes

All your complaints against war, especially your tax funding it, govs selling arms….

Is turning the tides.

Don’t stop.

They can’t ignore the public forever.

Old vs New

The fact the drawing on the left was from 4 months ago is insane, it’s shocking that the drawing on the left is even penny like she looks like a different character

Also I highly reccomend getting this game on a sale cause I think it’s more worth it on sale, I got it for 3 dollars on the eshop, it was 4 dollars but since I had a few gold coins left I was able to get it for slightly less, honestly, 3 dollars well spent

Just beat cars 3: driven to win, it’s honestly a pretty good game, just don’t expect it to be in the same level as the first 3 cars games, I hope my copy of cars 2 still works cause I enjoyed that game too, maybe I’ll see if that game is better than driven to win or not but for now, this game’s fun!

Worth mentioning that this is also the server behind Anemone, the primary theme manager app on 3DS. Genuinely pisses me off that these pos with 4chan tier humor essentially have a monopoly on everything related to modded 3DS themes. Safe to say that if I ever make 3DS themes, I am not uploading-

As if the people running 3DS Theme Plaza blanket censoring content, and treating it like a joke, despite community concern, wasn't enough, they're ableist af too. This is the behavior they cultivate, participate in, and deem acceptable. Behavior from literal admins/mods
#3ds #nintendo #3dsmods

A text exchange on Discord between a 3DS Theme Plaza Discord admin, and a deleted user:

Alrider08 (admin): "Some retard called me ableist because I said
Well
Retard"

Deleted User: "As one myself, you get the pass
*emote of doge saying 'okay retard'*"

Alrider08 (admin): "Don't need a pass I already am one
*anime character with fingers on head emote*

Alrider08 (admin): "TikTok generation with with the attention span of an ADHD kid on a sugar rush and hasn't watched Cocomelon in 2 minutes"

Arth: "gony naystation gds"

Alrider08 (admin): "Can't wait for that one chicken shit to come out of their cave and call me ableist *emote of anime character with shit eating grin*"

User: "not like when TikTok kids throw it around meaninglessly
Retarded means intellectually disabled
You use it to mean stupid/annoying"

Deleted User: "I see, thing is I'm pretty sure I didn't fucking ask"

Alrider08 (admin): *ok retard emote*

Deleted User: "Also you have no fucking idea what I mean by it
You're just assuming
Which makes you more of a fucktard retard"

A Discord screenshot of Alrider08, showing that they are an admin and mod for the Theme Plaza server. Another detail worth mentioning is their pronouns in their bio being "Eat/Shit"

TW Ableism: genuinely what the fuck, the first thing you mentioned was already bad but this is also ridiculous, like these people need to grow the fuck up

How tall is Deidre? Tall enough to grab the snacks on the highest shelf at the grocery store that’s for sure!

i think that's all I gotta say, for real now

🌊mari🌊 (They/She/It) @adventurermari.bsky.social · 14d

yeah sorry I forgot to mention indie games too, I guess i was wayyy to focused on like, the prices of AAA titles since that's been a huge topic as of late, but yeah, indie games are fucking awesome and I need to play more of them especially as someone who aspires to be an indie game dev

🌊mari🌊 (They/She/It) @adventurermari.bsky.social · 14d

I think that's all I really have to say honestly, games these days have gotten to hard to catch up with now, at least in terms of consoles and mainline AAA games, also I admittedly forgot to mention this but yes, absolutely yes, indie is a great option of you wanna catch up with newer games

🌊mari🌊 (They/She/It) @adventurermari.bsky.social · 14d

same with modding my wii, well, techincally it was already modded but it's a long story, but I've also been able to reuinited with some childhood favorites with that one and also get to play critically acclaimed gamecube games that I never got to play due to me being a ps2 kid (still love the ps2)

🌊mari🌊 (They/She/It) @adventurermari.bsky.social · 14d

after modding my 2DS, I now have every single gba game that I could ever want to play, on a system where it feels more comfortable to play on for my liking and I now also have all of the ds games that I couldn't get cause they were unavailable in stores and reuinited with games that I lost years ago

🌊mari🌊 (They/She/It) @adventurermari.bsky.social · 14d

things to spend my money now, it feels like for me that homebrewing consoles is my ticket to still enjoying this hobby, not that i mind it cause I have been loving it, especially as someone who wanted to collect older games but couldn't always be able to afford them (especially old pokemon games)

🌊mari🌊 (They/She/It) @adventurermari.bsky.social · 14d

like it was already difficult for me to catch up with modern AAA releases on the switch, and the switch 2 feels like it's going to accelerate that issue even more, it doesn't really help that i've grown up in a family that doesn't always have money for games and I have alot more important+

🌊mari🌊 (They/She/It) @adventurermari.bsky.social · 14d

i think legends za will be my last modern pokemon game, at least for a a really long time idk, not because I think modern pokemon games are bad personally i think it's more inconsistent more than 100% bad but I don't think i'll be able to catch up with modern video games with how expensive they are
