@eggbreakerdotexe@transfem.social Oh wow that’s cool. honestly that was probably a good idea since there’s always the possibility someone without Flash installed would go to the site

Hi, I’m Tyler! 27 year-old mostly guy who loves programming and reading manga.
I've been learning Japanese for over four years now. I honestly really love learning languages in general!
Relatively new Linux user (Arch, btw) and beginner in homelab things. Unfortunately pretty good at JavaScript and doing it for a job.
I frequently talk about my anticapitalist views and other political topics, but I always use a content warning.
I love Fedi and am trying to break out of my comfort zone and meet more people.
Oh, and I have a music degree, and I really love music theory and guitar/piano.
日本語もいいです！
Pronouns: he/him
Follow requests are welcome but subject to vibe check. I love meeting new people on Fedi so please don't be afraid to send me one!

kinda sorta nsfw, reddit post about DS Game
A Reddit thread I found when searching up the game that is basically what I expect to see when I hear the game's title:
https://www.reddit.com/r/nds/comments/1gjstpy/have_you_rubed_one_out_today/
Also found out through this thread that the DS had a tagline of "Touching is good." Never knew that when I was a child, kinda glad I didn't lmao
But many people in the thread say they actually really enjoyed the puzzles. I may actually play through it sometime (when I finish Kingdom Hearts)
Fun addition to the lore of this one. if you go to https://sonicteam.com you can find archives of the promo sites for nearly every sonic game before the early 2010s. These are fun in themselves, but the DS page does mention Project Rub, but it currently doesn't link to the promo site, which made me sad.
So I looked at an archived version of the site circa 2005, and I found a promo for the game that linked to this page:
https://web.archive.org/web/20050507040206/http://kimishine.sega.jp/
Yes, that is a flash promo site for the game and it has the background music from the game playing on loop. It is very fascinating. You can get an extension called Ruffle that allows you to view most flash sites.
Even more interesting, there is a link to a Flash web version of three mini games. It is also archived: https://web.archive.org/web/20050507040433/http://kimishine.sega.jp/ds/index.html
This just further emphasizes to me how important it is to preserve internet history.
also yes, the japanese title is きみのためなら死ねる (I would die for you), and the shortening they went with is きみ死ね which sounds more like telling someone to die, very odd choice tbh. Telling someone to 死ね is very offensive and usually something I've only seen in anime.
I feel like the fact that Ubuntu used to be the recommended starting distro is coming to bite people because they just install Ubuntu without realizing that most people don’t really recommend starting with it anymore and install it, then complain
@Velveteen@labyrinth.zone Oh shit. I know that must be frustrating. Wtf Discord
Finally making myself sit down to play more Kingdom Hearts 2 despite all the anxiety inducing things going on around me
@Velveteen@labyrinth.zone Damn that sucks, hope you are able to get back into it. Also hope the surgery goes okay 
the urge to distro hop combined with the fear of accidentally deleting something important
“Man I had a terrible experience with Linux, this sucks. I don’t see why anyone uses this.”
installed UbuntuI think I see the problem

Fun fact I just discovered: the promo site for Kingdom Hearts is still up on Square Enix's website. You can find it at http://www.square-enix.co.jp/games/ps2/kingdom/
You will need Ruffle extension because it is a Flash site, and it is all in Japanese. But even if you don't know any Japanese, it's still cool to look at. The animation that plays after the intro finishes looks fun, maybe it's time to try recreating yet another flash animation hahaha

My friend hosts a discord gaming tournament every few months and we were doing the Nintendo DS this time. He usually tries to find lesser known games, and this time we played this one game that is called "Project Rub". It was made by SEGA AND SONIC TEAM and is wild. The joke is that in Japanese, "love" and "rub" sound the same, and the DS allowed you to "rub" the screen.
So many jokes. I'm sure your head is full of them right now. It was hilarious. But what's funnier is that the game is actually pretty fun. It's basically a bunch of mini games and the goal is to I guess "Woo" a woman by winning them?
Also, despite the jokes that can be made, the game apparently wasn't really intended to be too sexual and the development team was actually mostly women, which I think is pretty cool especially for 2005.
