#it is always ethical to steal from nintendo

If you have been thinking of modding your 3ds, DO NOT UPDATE IT.

It's likely that the homebrew team will break this new level of security in a few months, but, goddamn it really shows how much Nintendo spites their own players to mod a system they don't even support anymore to make it harder to play games AFTER shutting down the eshop.

Fuck Nintendo, pirate all of their games, don't give them a fucking cent.

I have finally conceptualized what was bugging me about Palworld being called 'plagarism' specifically. Yes it's most likely copyright infringement (unless they try to claim its a parody or transformative work, i think ultimately its a court that will decide if its infringement or not) but if you're going to call recoloring characters from a well-known franchise in order to sell a video game 'plagarism', then people creating and selling fanworks are plagiarizing as well.

Plagarism is taking someone's ideas and trying to pass them off as your own. If you're not trying to pass it off as your own original idea, it's not plagiarism. That doesn't mean it's legal or morally correct, it just means it's not plagiarism.

and no, I don't give a shit about the game I just love ethical debates. And I think it's funny to steal from multi-billion dollar companies.

"But what about the people who worked so hard to create the original designs? How would they feel? Palworld is actually stealing from them!" First of all the artists already got fairly compensated and credited for it. (I assume it was fair compensation, and if it wasnt thats on Nintendo). Second of all those designs dont belong to the artists, they never belonged to the artists. Those designs always belonged to Nintendo, who told the artists 'design characters for us and we will give you money' so they are, in fact, stealing from absolutely ZERO people. If a court rules Palworld is legally in the wrong, the restitution will be paid to Nintendo the corporation, not any of the artists who created the characters.

Ultimately I just wanna see what happens, honestly.

^^^ Meet my husband, Quintin. I’ll be introducing him to you.

I’m sure you’ve heard all of the cliche love references about people in love; he is the peanut butter to my jelly, my other half, the missing piece to my puzzle…blah blah blah. While I wouldn’t deny that I haven’t once said those things, I will go on to say that once upon a time, we decided to get married (ya know, we thought we were in love) and upon saying our vows to each other, before our God and our witnesses, we made a solemn commitment to each other and that was the end to our beginning. Every passing day, every passing year, I learn from him and about him in new and different ways. And every so often, I fall madly in love all over again. I thought I knew him then, but it turns out, there is so much more than love.

Quintin is far more brave and wild than I am or will ever dream of being. His appetite for adventure is one of the things that I love most about him. He loves being outside and being one with nature; being a part of it’s every move. He is renewed by it. He longs to live among it, breathe in it’s wild air and drink it’s rushing waters. He wants to adventure always. He wants to experience life in a real and hands on way. He cares about hearts and souls, not just the exterior of what his eyes relay to his brain. He is attentive and sweet, present and thoughtful. He has a work ethic better than anyone I know, which I think he got from his mom. #shoutouttoallyoumamas! He is determined. Committed. Steadfast. This man is tender and quick to listen. His willingness to change and humble his heart challenges me daily. He fights for what he believes in and commits to. I love him for who he was when I married him and I love him more for who he is today. I look forward to the many years ahead, if the good Lord wills it.

He is my wild adventure.

This is my wife, Jade^^^

Jade met a girl in the bathroom at church because Jade liked the girls shoes and the girl liked Jades dress.  They talked about their clothes, returned to their seats and Jade told her husband “I just met a friend in the bathroom!”

Jade takes a million photos, looks at the display on her DSLR, moves her mouth all to one side, frowns and says “One more, this is the last, I promise”.

Jade dreams of climbing mountains, having twins, owning bicycles, growing avocado trees, being best friends with Taylor Swift, swimming with whales, spending a month in Hawaii, being skinnier, hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, having her own horses, being with her husband more.

Jade looks forward to waffle Saturdays.

Jade thinks its funny to put a boogie in a very noticeable place on her nostril and see if her husband says anything… He never does.

Jade talks to her cats and dogs as if they can understand her and speaks for them in mock response.

Jade gets excited at sunsets, dancing, friends, dresses, haircuts, spa days, traveling, learning, eating (dessert), dreaming.

Jade feels bad that when she was younger she would steal money from her brother  because he always had some and she always spent hers on candy, and then use the stolen money to buy candy.

Jades favorite jokes are poop and fart ones.

Once, on her husbands 30th birthday she went on an hour-long hike with him in the hottest most humid day of July, sweating her balls off just so people could get his surprise birthday party ready.

Jade hates sweating her balls off.

Jade once prayed that God would help her find her dog’s collar and found it.

Jade once prayed that God would help her dad and now she lives next to him.

Jade has prayed for a horse since she was six but still doesn’t have one.

Jade laughs when she is happy and sometimes cries.  She laughs when she is angry and sometimes cries.  She laughs when she is sad but mostly cries.  She laughs when she is annoyed… her husband can be really annoying.

Once Jade lived with one of her best friends and she loved it.  Once she lived with her  mother-in-law and she loved it.  Now she lives in a 30-year-old RV in someones backyard and she loves it.

She bumped into an old friend and they stayed up all night playing super Nintendo and talking and so she married him.

Jade loves volleyball and so she signed up for a monthly volleyball tournament and every month she went and played till she knew everyone and everyone knew her.  And they became her friends.

She coached middle school volleyball and loved the girls she coached and loved the coaches she coached with and they became her friends.

She worked at a school and had so much fun with the kids and teachers and misses them all because they became her friends.

Recently she and her husband almost got a ticket for being too close to a seal sanctuary.  She had said in the first place she didn’t think it was a good idea to be so close.  And then later that night they parked at a trail head and decided to hike up to a campsite.  She again didn’t think it was a good idea and thought they might get in trouble but put on her pack and started hiking.  The trail was thin and the side of a cliff, 3 miles straight up and it was dark and you couldn’t see anything without headlamps and her dog killed a skunk and it seemed like it was going to take forever to get to the campsite but she did.  And Jade and her husband set up their tent and she laid down on her sleeping mat but her dog wanted to sleep on it too so she slept mostly off the mat and mostly on the hard, rocky ground.  She didn’t really sleep.  The next morning she woke up on the side of the top of a mountain and gasped as she saw fog returning out to the Pacific ocean and the different shades of red and yellow as the sun came up and the green tree tops blanketing the mountains with the occasional rock jutting out and heard the seals barking from the beach thousands of meters below.  She got up, took a million pictures with her husband, looked at her DSLR display, frowned and said “One more, I promise this is the last one”, hiked down the trail passing the dead skunk, got back in her car and drove off to be with friends.

I love Jade.

Good news everyone! Unless you still have an old model 3DS, Nintendo's pitiful attempt at anti-hacking has already been subverted. (And if you do have an old model, getting a flashcart online for like $20 still works just fine, it's what I did)

If you have been thinking of modding your 3ds, DO NOT UPDATE IT.

It's likely that the homebrew team will break this new level of security in a few months, but, goddamn it really shows how much Nintendo spites their own players to mod a system they don't even support anymore to make it harder to play games AFTER shutting down the eshop.

Fuck Nintendo, pirate all of their games, don't give them a fucking cent.
