  • EmuReady sounds awesome! I’ll definitely be using that in the future, hopefully it will be a good resource for my Odin 2 Max!

    Be the change you want to see! You can make an account there and share how games run for you, in fact I just checked and can’t see a single Odin compatibility report submitted by the community yet. You could be the one to change that!!!

    Your next interview is giving me darknet diaries vibes, sounds like it has potential to be very interesting.

    If Jack is somehow stumbling over this, he and I both know that he owes me a coffee.

    Wii U emulation on Android just isn’t quite there yet

    I’ve not been in the Android emulation scene for awhile, it’s nice that its even possible these days!


  • Thanks for the interest!

    In 2023 / 2024 I was in contact with what I suppose you’d call the ‘big three’ of modern piracy - FitGirl, Dodi and Empress.

    Empress was clearly in it just for the money. She was exactly as you’d expect her to be from her interview and general ranting back then.

    Dodi said he did so because he grew up very poor in Egypt, he stated that pirating games was the only way he and his friends could hope to enjoy gaming and culture. That the companies lost no money or sales because there was simply no way they’d be able to afford the games. Though, to be fair, he has afforded to put himself through medical school since he started…so I’d say he also enjoys the proceeds.

    Fit was the most calculated, and I think knowledgeable of the three. I think she is a pirate at heart and does it for an ideal, though she too (the most of the three) has enjoyed a lot of money for her efforts.

    I’m super interested to see how this Switch pirate interview goes, since like I mentioned - its not been done before!
















  • I’m so glad you’ve enjoyed these!

    Keep an eye out, I try make them weekly, though in the past it’s gone as few as two days between posts (generally though, I try make myself wait and hold off to give it a week between them!) - so there’ll be more coming :)

    I’m so glad you’re getting a Steam Deck, you’ll love it! They’re easy if you want to just…start installing games without tinkering, or you can dive in and find all kinds of fun things.

    As to GOG and Epic (and even Amazon) look into:

    …there are others, but these two I swear by.

    As to emulation, the default idea most have is EmuDeck, but I by far recommend

    …but if you ever have any specific questions, or want help or a guide to anything, reach out to me. I kinda live/breath the Steam Deck - so I’m always happy to help!!!


  • I’m so glad!!!

    I know these are ‘heavy’, but I try my best to break them into sections (*actually, this time I did not do that - typically they’re broken into themed sections like ‘Switch News’, or ‘GOG News’ etc), and make it a little easier to wade through.

    I just love writing them in this way, even if they’re not the most convenient. And I do try to ‘pretty’ them up, too! I’m glad you enjoyed this, there’s plenty I’ve done before it if you’re interested in reading others!

    :)









  • Whatever adhesive they used was a pleasant smell.

    I know for a fact that they changed it after launch though, those launch models used a certain type, then later on it’s just a different one!

    And you’re so welcome, that’s exactly what I love to hear with these, they they make something like that a bit easier!!!
