RULES (updated 01/22/25)
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
- Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
- Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
- Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

During my childhood, I had a Nintendo DS. I always thought the DS was so cool and futuristic, I was obsessed. The only game I had was Super Mario 64 DS, the remake of Super Mario 64. It was the first "real" Mario game I ever played, and it influenced my childhood in so many ways.
Nowadays I don't game much, but a few days ago on a whim, I decided to get back into the game, maybe I'd mess around on it for a few minutes and delete it. So I installed Lemuroid and loaded the ROM on my phone.
I started out as Yoshi, like usual. When I was younger, I always struggled with the courses, and at first that was my experience here. But soon enough, I found myself racking up Stars real quick. The levels that I'd struggled with so much were now a breeze to get through. I even managed to finish the Secret Slide in less than 20 seconds, on my first try! Before I knew it, I had already unlocked Mario, and I was headed straight for the first boss. I also managed to defeat Bowser on my first try! I'm not sure if it's me playing on a phone that made it easier, or just me being older and more experienced that made it easy, or maybe it's a bit of both.
I now have 26 stars, with only 4 more to go before I move on to the next Bowser battle. After that, I plan on unlocking Luigi and Wario.
The music, the sound effects, even the outdated graphics just brought me all the way back. It unlocked a lot of good memories.
Anyway, that's all I wanted to say, I'm glad I rediscovered this game!
