1. My devices:
If I buy a computer (this means PCs, smartphones, consoles, TVs,…), I may do anything with it I like, unless it violates laws. Clearly it is not allowed to smash a laptop onto another person’s head, or open the battery to dispose the chemicals into the wood or using it for...
1.Preliminary remark
As my avatar shows, I like the Mother/Earthbound series – although it was never released in Europe until the Wii U VC version. I got my Wii U at the beginning of this year and bought Earthbound and Earthbound Zero some months ago – and knew immediately I had missed something...

If you’re interested in mathematics, computer science or rhetoric you should have heard about a logical fallacy named “circular reasoning” or “circulus in probando” (took that...
Last time I ended the text with “Backup copies are justified and technically needed, period!” I will always stick by this opinion although none of my Nintendo games/consoles has failed so far. But there’s more than Nintendo.

Nintendo told us: “Backups are not needed.” Now they are in fact admitting (on the German website) that cartridges and consoles can fail (surprise, surprise).
Rough translation of their claim (I have a link and a screenshot but I’m not sure if it is a good idea to post either of them): “If only...
Last time I presented a short text snippet taken from an instruction booklet (Donkey Kong Country) and only briefly commented it. I repeat my translation of this text:
"Warning
Copying Nintendo-games is illegal and violates German and international copyright laws. This is also valid for...
This is the first time I upload a detailed personal opinion on a topic. That alone is not easy for me. Plus: I have do to it in English. Although I read a lot in English on the Internet and watch videos in English, I’m not quite comfortable about writing or even speaking the language myself. I...

it's just in an empty open space, like outside at night or the backrooms, depending on the branch of the hypothetical you either feel unsafe, but you actually are safe, or you feel safe, but are unsafe, also you don't actually know the truth about your safety either way -
