If an uncompiled instance of the source code of every game became public domain ~1 whole console cycle (like 8-10 years) after release then a lot of these preservation crises would not be an issue. Or some sort of pseudo-public domain idk I'm not a lawyer

From the U.S., Kier Starmer really does come across as a perfect example of you cannot successfully try to ape reactionary conservative politics in the long term. Labour got a single win and Starmer proceeded to drive the party into its worst polling in generations by courting the right.

I'm not sure if I would count this as five games or not, but beating Dream Radar is way less of an obstacle than doing 80% of Emerald. Also imo DS/Lite req for Pal Park<3DS req for Dream Radar. Pokewalker comes with HGSS. So G5 Nat Dex is easier than G4 Nat Dex by a hair.

The closest I can think of is B2W2+Dream Radar+HGSS+Platinum to have everything? HGSS covers the bulk, Plat covers Creation Trio and starters, B2W2 covers Unova stuff, Regis and Stunky/Glameow/Fossils, Dream Radar covers Forces of Nature. Notably, doesn't require a GBA in any capacity.

Napkin math indicates you can roughly do Nat Dex with BW+HGSS, with Pokewalker HGSS get really close to Nat Dex on their own, BUT that leaves out the Creation Trio and Mystri Stage doesn't sound like fair play for this

I should do the math at some point to figure out if there's a way to do G5 Nat Dex with fewer than 5 games because G4 Nat Dex is DP+HGSS+one of RSE but I think you can do G5 Nat Dex with BW+2 G4 games if you play your cards right but idk. Because of Thundurus/Tornadus you can't do B+W2 for this

ā€œI think that’s wholly appropriate and certainly comports with my understanding of the law,ā€ said C. Fred Bergsten, who helped negotiate IEEPA in the 1970s, ā€œand hopefully it will excise lots of the damage that his tariffs have done.ā€

Lily of the (Saturn) Valley 🪐🌱 #EarthBound

Digital illustration of a lily of the valley against a hazy green, yellow, and pinkish orange background, but its flowers are all Mr. Saturns from the 1994 video game Earthbound / Mother 2. Each Mr. Saturn is a round whitish tan little creature with a large round nose and little round eyebrows. They each have a green stem on the top of their heads that attaches them to the plant instead of their usual black antenna, and little red leaves swirl around the stems and tie into little red bows. The lowest Mr Saturn has detached from the rest of the plant fully formed and is jumping down to a nearby leaf.

The federal government's charges against Rep. LaMonica McIver are a test case for Trump's ultimate fever dream: Locking up anyone he wants, using the weakest evidence and the full backing of the nation’s law enforcement agencies.

"When CDC Director Susan Monarez refused to rubber-stamp unscientific, reckless directives and fire dedicated health experts, she chose protecting the public over serving a political agenda," the statement continued. "For that, she has been targeted." www.rawstory.com/susan-monare...

There's some small comfort in knowing that no amount of fame or wealth can buy your way into being liked and that goes for Mr Beast as well as Elon Musk.

I wonder if the FFC romhackers ever found a list of scrapped beta Vivosaurs because something like Diplocaulus sounds perfect for FFC's style

Fun fact: Unless I'm being a total idiot, Amphibians are completely unrepresented in the entire Fossil Fighters franchise. This is funny given all of Mammals, Reptiles, Fish, and More Reptiles (birds) are represented along with a smattering of invertebrates
