That’s So Cliché: Life Edition

"Today, I’m gonna talk about a weird phenomenon that makes absolutely no sense. I’m talkin’ about life meters. We need life meters to show us when we’re gonna kick the bucket, and that’s fine. Makes the experience more tolerable if we know exactly when to chug an elf potion and instantly be rejuvenated. Not sure how that works, but I think Bayer could take a lesson from the”medieval geniuses” who concocted that blend. Aspirin takes a freakin’ hour to get my pain-in-the-ass headaches to do anything productive. Life meters are also kinda useful in gauging if we can take the punishment of a new stack of enemies or if we ought to haul our weak nerd butts the hell outta that stupid cavern and maybe practice some more before we start lookin’ fer that Scepter of Silicone Snakes again.

Even if they do crack down all a person needs is an Everdrive and a regular old school machine. Or modify a disc based console that has a dead laser to boot off an SD card. Some of those illegal devices look neat and some of them are just plain crap.

This won't stop it unless you have a great service.

What a stupid thing to be wasting time, money and effort. Aren't these guys literally drowning right now? Maybe y'all should focus more on that instead trying to stop people from playing old games no longer being sold.

Pretty sure I've read and seen parts of Italy experiences/ing pretty bad floodings. Id argue that's more important than trying to prevent the sale of emulation devices.
