So I wanted to point out something. Characters like Bojack aren't meant to be seen as "at least I'm not him." Or even relatable. You're suppose to hate him, you're suppose to see and acknowledge the shit he does. It's like with Rick and Morty, you're not suppose to like Rick he's a piece of shit and yes he comes from trauma, just like Beatrice, but he's still a piece of shit. Yes he loves his grandson a lot and wants the structure of family, but he's still a POS.
I think that's the issue with HB, Vivzie wants a dollar store rip off of Bojack. But, Blitz is not the Bojack, he's a dude who's in his early 30's. I wouldn't even call Stolas the BJ or Rick, he's just a fucking predator who wears a crown. Viv is doing an ass job at portraying a complex character. So far, the one person he "redeemed" himself with, he probably didn't even hate him to begin with and was just hurt and wanted to make amends.
To make a complex character that's meant to be hated, or even meant to be flawed, you've first got to acknowledge that they did anything wrong to begin with. It's Writing 101, certainly Writing BoJack 101, and Viv can't even get that right.
I love a bunch of different computers, but I think one of my all-time favorites has gotta be Sony’s MSX HitBit HB-101. It’s just an absolutely gorgeous machine, especially in the candy apple red color scheme it had in Japan. Here’s a picture of the one I own!

Brief Personality: Daisy is quite odd, She seems to act like a teenager from the early 2000s, and because of that a lot of her language is incomprehensible. She is quite possessive and controlling, she was so used to being in control of every little part of her world that now that she is in the real world she has no clue how to handle it. She is trying to be normal and likable so much that it’s almost to her detriment.
Brief Backstory:
Daisy a very long time ago was named Ana, Ana was born into a very abusive home, her mother often locked her up in her room and ignored her for days. Ana would imagine worlds of her own, with what few toys she had and scraps of paper. She ended up with a very old computer and would play games like Roblox, imagining and building different things. This was her routine for a very long time, until she was ten.
One day, her mother left the house, and Ana heard a voice calling out to her. She walked outside into the snow, except when she did, she was transported into a different world or so she thought.
She walked through the fog and snow, before reaching a giant apple tree, a tall creature offered her the ability to have her own world, where everything would go her way, she could have a family, and friends, and happiness. And of course, Ana, being a child, accepted without question, biting the metaphorical apple.
Ana, now naming herself Daisy. Created her very own world, called the hospital. The Cultivator had given her so many things to play with, including people. She was able to shape the world into whatever she wanted it to be, slowly going insane in the process.
Daisy, for years, stayed in her very own paradise. Until two girls defeated the cultivator, reanimating her and destroying her world. Now Daisy, is lost. She has never been good at being in the real world, what is she supposed to do now that she’s not in control..?
Ugh, Tama must have gotten the coordinates

make sense even if she was trying to trick him.

Been a while since i last sat down and wrote out a post.
In the last 12 or so months I have been installing custom firmware on some older gaming devices i own but have fallen out of use. I had experimented with CFW on my WIi U maybe about 2 years ago with Tiramisu. A year later i scored a second-hand Vita, and just this last week I've been giving the CFW treatment to my 3DS, as well as updating my Wii U to the Aroma environment, and reviving an old R4 DS flashcart.
I have a few core beliefs with this kind of practice.
If you own a piece of hardware you can do what you want with it.
If a game is not made available to purchase legally or easily, at a reasonable price, it is ethically fine to pirate it.
Nintendo in particular can absolutely take the hit. After all, they're barely being kept afloat by one guy they cruelly saddled with millions in damages.
This post is a brief recount of my experiences modding, and i hope that by describing the problems and solutions i found along the way, I can help others.
Here are my experiences so far, per hardware.
Pt. 1: Wii U
I have a mega soft spot for the Wii U. It walked so the Switch could run, and being able to play full console game on the gamepad while someone else can watch TV in the same room is a really great aspect. The library is also absolutely killer; Bayonetta 2, Super Mario 3D World, Wonderful 101, Xenoblade Chronicles X, on top of the entire Wii library make this a fantastic box to mod. Compared to the effort needed to put in, you can end up with a console that can play the entire Wii U, Wii, and Gamecube libraries, plus Retroarch and other emulators for most older consoles.
I originally had Tiramisu installed but have upgraded to Aroma. I followed the wiiu.hacks.guide guide but sometimes these guides tend to gloss over details in the process that i would say are important.
What the guide doesn't explain, conceptually, is the concept of an environment, and the difference between Tiramisu (old) and Aroma (new, beta). I'll try to do so in layman's terms here.
Tiramisu is the previous established CFW Environment, and all side-loaded homebrew apps need to be launched through the Homebrew Launcher, which gets launched in-place of the Mii Maker app, and installed by other homebrew apps like WUPInstaller.
Aroma is a new Environment, and it enables apps to be added to the native Wii U Menu rather than having to use the HB Launcher. It also simplifies sideloading apps by establishing a new filetype, the .wuhb file. These can be copied to the sd:\wiiu\apps folder on the SD card, rather than using an installer app.
Upgrading from Tiramisu to Aroma is actually very simple. If you already had Tiramisu, all that you need to do is download the Aroma files from the official site and unzip them to the root of the SD card, merging them together into one sd:\wiiu folder. Then perform the exploit as described in the guide. You only need the .zip files in the Base and Aroma headings on the page, the additional plugins and modules are optional and you can come back to those later.
When performing the browser exploit, you have to hold the B button. Yes, keep holding. it takes approximately 1 minute, and you'll be on a white screen if all is going correctly. keep holding until the screen changes to white text on black, and asks you to choose your payload. run nanddumper and do your due diligence.
When you run the browser exploit the second time you have to hold X instead of B this time, and it will start the environment loader. Pick Aroma. At this point you can press Y and it will highlight it yellow, making it your preferred. A bright yellow warning will get thrown up on the screen regarding blocking updates. It looks scary but if you read it carefully, youll see that you can block system updates by pressing X. Press it.
the step regarding the PayloadLoader app can be skipped in my instance, as i had already set it up to run on boot automatically.
If you want to change environments with the above config (i.e. to tiramisu instead to run Retroarch), you need to hold X on boot. I wish this could be displayed briefly on boot, like with a PC to access the BIOS. This is very easy to forget when you have over 12 months between boots! I should also add that by "boot" i mean when the Wii U Menu is loading. if you start the console with the GamePad and have quick start enabled, you need to hold X right after you choose Wii U Menu in the bottom right corner.
Another handy file to have is sigpatches in the wiiu\environments\aroma\modules\setup folder.
There exists an app to download games directly. I already have a good physical Wii U Catalog, but you can install NUSspli to download games directly. Officially my advice is to only download games you already own. However, Wii U games are difficult to find for obvious reasons, especially niche cult games that aren't the usual Wii fodder for kids like Bayonetta 2 or Xenoblade Chronicles X. If you want to buy physical in any condition you'll pay an arm and a leg, if you can find anything decent at all. At time of writing neither of the above games are available on any other platform. By cross-referencing these facts with my beliefs mentioned above, you may be able to draw a conclusion for yourself. Forewarning, downloads are a bit on the slow side, and you have to have the app open the entire time. luckily for you, you can just switch over to your tv and watch something like i did, while keeping an eye on your gamepad.
Don't run the Health and Safety Information app once you've booted up your Wii U. if you've configured your PayloadLoader to automatically start on boot, its done. If you run it again, you'll be told off for running the EnvironmentLoader twice, and you'll need to hard power off your console and gamepad, which i've had to do more times than i'm wliling to admit.
I'll end this guide by confessing: I spent a lot of money in this era on this console. I don't regret it; I was living comfortably and could afford to at the time. It was fun to completely tune out what was happening for other consoles, and live in relative bliss with PC ports and the quality output for the Nintendo range at the time. It was fun to be hopeful and optimistic for the Wii U when so many others had already written it off completely.
Looking back now, the games lineup now that all is said and done is really quite fantastic; there looms an unfortunate shadow over it all though; many of the Wii U's best games have been rereleased for the Switch, having been expanded and improved even further, most notably Smash and Mario Kart 8, but the wii U versions are still great. It has the only Tekken game to appear on an Nintendo console. Bayonetta 2 and XCX are still wholly exclusive. Theres lots to like here. My hope and optimism were, to me, repaid in kind.
Thats about all I have so far for this thing. I plan to wade into the murky waters of gamecube games in the future, so i may yet write about my trials in that area. In the meantime, I'm having plenty of fun playing WarioLand 4 on a deliciously large screen.
For the cartoon ask game: all of them? Except for favorite Netflix cartoon because I already know that's The Cuphead Show, unless you want to list a second favorite one.

Just cause the pilot is no longer canon doesn’t mean the first episode of HB makes up for Stolas being an abuser. I’ll admit I liked his introduction the music and bathroom bg and colors are really nice and honestly he works much better as an antagonist/toxic abuser. Throughout season 1 all stolas does is make blitz uncomfortable and miserable, but blitz is the abuser that lead stolas on and initiated the sex? It’s was all stolas. Ozzie even acknowledges that stolas only wants blitz for sex and he even uses he own daughter (whether she’s around or not) to make blitz hang out with him.
I don’t like blitz (or any of the characters except maybe octavia but I just know they’re gonna ruin her character too) but he just wanted to the book, he was just distracting stolas, to get the book in 201. Even the phone call back in 101 was about the book, he know blitz just wanted the book, it’s always been about the stupid book. He was the one that made the stupid deal about having sex once a month. Why is blitz being made to be the abuser and bad guy? I’m glad more people in the fandom and outsider are talking about stolas being terrible
It's a complete disaster that gets less fixable all the time, and my guess is that it's going to be a vicious cycle; people are going to keep talking about it and Viv's going to get more and more defensive about it.
