yuzu also sold access to more recent builds which allowed people to play unreleased nintendo games early, afair

Which also isn't illegal

charging for it brings a whole lot more heat than not doing so

one of his sons is slated to take over the business, afaik. Specifically the racecar driver one.

yeah looks like it triggered a keyword filter to mark it as dead to me. Or a few people flagged it.

Either way it seemed relevant enough to me that I vouched for it.


Thanks for vouching, it seems to have helped.

do you have inner music or just your voice serving as the instrument like me?

Just inner voice

that made me realize I never once thought of whether I was hearing stuff in my dreams.

> Practically, it means I'm rubbish at remembering people. I've developed some techniques that help, but if someone changes their look significantly, it's very hard for me to identify that it's the same person.

Do you perhaps have a mild form of face blindness?


It definitely manifests as that to some degree, but since it extends to hair, clothing, what car they drive, I think it's a more general situation.

(But I'm also not specifically aware of face blindness as a condition, and had assumed it was generally some form of aphantasia.)


I would tentatively suggest OP does. I hace aphantasia but meet a lot of people for work and have a very good memory for names once I see a face.

> Engineering types most commonly are strong in conceptual thinking. You can imagine complex systems and how they connect but it’s hard to describe and linearize this into words. You have to translate. Again it’s sort of an imagined picture but not really.

I guess I have that ability, in that I can relatively easily figure out spatial relations or can map out code mentally. The photorealism I am a 0 on.

Is linear thinking just a stream of conciousness thing where you basically list attributes? If so then I guess I have that too.

But id still describe myself as an aphant.


the only internal sense I have is my own voice. I cant even "imagine" music but rather hum it in my own voice at best. Same with others' voices

Interesting. I can replay or simulate other people's voices (real people, obv) and can 'hear' music I know by replaying it in my mind. Of course, not perfectly if I forget the words, it might fill in with some tum-te-tum, or only recall a fragment, but it's usually playing as at source. Makes earworms very annoying, of course.

Ditto! I tend to hear my internal voice beat-boxing music rather than humming it, though...

I have a few scripts that interact with wl-copy. Like one that just cats all the files in a directory and pipes it into wl-copy so I can paste it somewhere else. Something like that would've been immensly useful when I was still on windows, but that would've been too much a bother to set up.
