Hey OP, it seems that your posts are doubling:

I saw the same thing happen on the comics community with your nutcracker post.

Just giving a heads up!

So happy that I’m blessed to not like 95% of online multiplayer games, or mostly the competitive ones. People cry about not having CoD and Overwatch, and I just sleep easy knowing that none of the games my mom and I play are affected 😌

More people need to like RPGs and single player games man

If I could stop being a socially anxious bitch I would, but I debate in my head for 5 mins and by then the guy has already walked away 😅

Same things with girls honestly, I just struggle. But I feel like I’ve gotten better in college about saying compliments to people.

Until mid 2024, our PS5 was collecting dust while we played the Switch every day, and my mom got it like 3-4 years ago…

We have like 5 PS5 games, and I’m 90% sure every single one of them got ported to PC or another console at some point. We probs only bought them cause they were on sale or smth since nobody has a PS5. We have been playing more PS4 games on it recently though. Gotta get through that backlog and all. And now our Switch 2 follows in the PS5’s footsteps, collecting dust

We do have many PC/Steam games, and I like them for being cheaper, but I still just like console more for being easier to deal with. I was eager to jump at the recent FF7 Remake & Rebirth bundle sale on Steam, only to learn that the PC port sucked ass and apparently had jitter issues. My mom and I are not graphics freaks, we just want the game to work out the box, so I’ll just wait for a PS5 sale and get it then. The only game I really care about modding is Minecraft anyway.

I’ve seen so much Umamusume Pretty Derby art and propaganda on my Tumblr, and now it just got best ongoing game award or smth at The Game Awards, so I’m slowly becoming convinced. I’m just nervous to add another gacha to my list 😅

I haven’t played the tactics games yet (Ivalice right?) but you just broke my heart. I love tactics games man, and I feel like there’s not a lot of them outside of the Fire Emblem series. I haven’t gotten around to many to be fair though.

Yup, KH = Kingdom Hearts. It’s more typical smack your enemies to death action, not turn-based. I think the only one that truly could be seen as a strategy game would be the card based side game, but that one is also still real time battle, not turn based.

Anyway, I’ve got a huge backlog of other games I gotta get through, so I probably won’t be replaying them anytime soon. But when I do, I will gladly relish in wiping the floor with Sephiroth and the lot 😌 just gotta git gud soon

Honestly, I kinda like hearing people’s creativity when it comes to producer tags. But out of the music I listen to, that’s really only common in Vocaloid songs, so I’m not really the crowd people are thinking of 😅

It’s interesting/cute to hear or try to find it for one’s who are still deciding on a tag.

I didn’t finish it as a kid, but I got through the first circuit of worlds in KH 1 fairly easy. I picked the game up again last summer so I could finish it and play through the whole series, and 19 year old me was borderline in tears on some of those boss fights. I was on normal mode. Thankfully I was playing Remix, so I didn’t have to hear every boss speech 40 times (“Ee oo, not Clayton!”), but it still felt bad man.

One day I’ll go through the games again and fight the secret bosses on hard, but thinking about the amount of grinding it’ll take makes me cry internally and curl into a ball.

I…

I just. Don’t even know how to feel about this comment. The name… paired with it… along with the similar username…

Funnily enough, I spent like 5-7 mins before posting trying to get both imginn.com and imginn.io to pull up the reel, and they both said nope. I tried fiddling with uBlock Origin, but it didn’t work, and both IronFox and Vanadium wouldn’t load it. So I gave up and assumed they broke or smth.

I’ll still edit the post with the imginn.com link though 👍

Yep, fingerprinting is a bitch. I’ve tried settings on Librewolf and IronFox to reduce it, but obviously it’s impossible to fool the creators of internet stalking.

Anyway, tried with a brand spanking new profile on Linrewolf, no VPN on, and tried to watch. Wouldn’t work without logging in, and after that it still asked to verify my age.

Tried in Ungoogled Chromium with VPN set to Canada on guest profile (I’ve never used guest), and same thing. Tried with Japan VPN on a fake profile named “Jimmy”, same thing. Tried my other Google account on another new fake chromium profile and Argentina VPN, but no dice. At this rate Google probs thinks I’m hacked lol.

I know why YTs have been censoring themselves, and I know that the video having “Fuck” in the title is the reason. But in the past Google would just give a warning, or simply use the age listed on your account (which yes, could be faked as I did in the past). None of that is new to me.

The issue now, is that they’re actually enforcing age checks, and you can’t get around them without giving up personal info to Google. I am legally an adult, but now I have to show ID or use a credit card to prove it. That’s the gross shit. I guess it’s mostly a vent post, since this is the first time I’ve literally been unable to watch a video.

Been using Fedora for a year or so now. I’ve done tests with ipleak and such to verify my VPN isn’t leaking, and have torrented on it (with it attached to my client and tested that the client stops when the VPN is disconnected).

Holy shit, that’s crazy. Thankfully I’ve moved most of my stuff from Google to other services (I love mailbox.org ♥️) but I might have a thing or two stuck on there…

Thanks for the heads up, hopefully I can just ride this one out, but it’s ass man…

I do use Proton often, and it seems it was set to New Jersey this time. I live in the US, and afaik, my state doesn’t have mandatory age checks for all websites.

Edit: NVM, my state has signed and will soon enforce a social media age check. Guess I’ll VPN to other states and countries 💀

Even when I disable ProtonVPN, the same things happen. Freetube and Invidious say may be inappropriate, mpv crashes (non age restricted videos play fine), and even YT ReVanced throws a fit on both my accounts. On browser, both Librewolf and Ungoogled Chromium get hit with the same “verify age” button. On Fedora Linux.

There should be a short of noise that’s made when a video or picture is taken/recording, kinda like how all Japanese phones are legally required to have a shutter click noise. It’d be nice if the LED being covered disabled the camera though.

Actually, I was just about to post how you can’t even use yt-dlp or alternative front ends, since I just tried that. Mpv crashes, Freetube comes up with a blank and mentioned age verification, and yt-dlp showed the same thing. Pipepipe probably won’t work due to using invidious.

Wow, the first time I got a perfect!
