Another Wii U game getting good reviews?

Another proof that the Wii U failure was created by Nintendo themselves, at least it died to give us the Switch 😁

I miss not being a CGNAT user.

it is not tailscale. but also it seems I was wrong and its not wireguard either

Yeah, I totally meant Wireguard there, my bad.

I know what opening ports is, I only have v4. But I thought you have difficulties with bittorrent over v6. or is it that you still need to open ports for v6, in the firewall or something?

I don't have difficulties to download, I have difficulties to seed because I am CGNATED and it seems Qbittorrent or any Torrent client really can't use IPv6 to be more connectable thus seed more.

I want to seed more without having to pay for it or do convoluted workarounds.

Ah, and the redditors can't cope with knowing their community has become just another meme community, and yet they feel like it is so important and the last good community for Reddit 😂

It is actually funny the delusionalism you get when you give a quick look there.

I am definitely not one of those who grew up playing game with markers though (I am 32 years old and that's why I specified it must be a me problem 🤣).

I am playing the DS version which seems to be the definitive version, even to this day.

tailscale and zerotier are wireguard, but with a public server that helps with NAT. Syncthing uses a public server for that too.

wireguard was specifically made to be as simple and minimalistic as possible.

Zerotier wasn't always Tailscale was it?

is there such a problem? honest question. But I think that might be a different issue

You need to be connectable to download from all the peers, likewise non connectable users can't download from you, and how do you become connectable? By opening your ports, something that might seem archaic from somebody who has totally embraced IPv6.

maybe they just don't see working on it profitable enough

Yeah maybe.

Just to clarify, I have several workarounds for the 3 issues that have involved spending more money or not to get rid of CGNAT.

• For the 1st one... Well I already mentioned it, I am a ZT and Tailscale user, I did try Wireguard from a VPS once though, but I didn't like that I was entirely dependant of my upload speed, maybe I had my Iptables wrongly configured but I usually got faster speeds just using ZT or Tailscale (I didn't need to relay in the US VPS server).
• For Torrenting... I actually haven't found a solution to use IPv6... I did use a container client to use my VPS at that time though, it being Digital Ocean and thus getting a DMCA letter for downloading TWD me being a LATAM user was... A kinda funny experience, with that said I stopped that project immediately, it was fun to give back to the community with my 24/7 NAS always seeding though.
• For the last point... Well, I do use ZT and Tailscale to access the server myself, but when I want to expose it, I usually do it with a reverse proxy pointing out to my IPv6 address, and more recently using a Tailscale funnel, I haven't tried it thoroughly, but at least it seems to connect without using Plex's relays.

As you can see, one needs to be well prepared with workarounds to deal with CGNAT.

The fact that Syncthing seems to solve CGNAT on its own has me wondering why there are not more solutions for the server/home side.

Why does Wireguard or any other VPN not work like Tailscale or Zerotier?

Why don't torrent clients can't work with IPv6 to seed more?

Why doesn't Plex adopt a similar mechanic like Syncthing to expose the media over the Internet instead of being a prisoner of CGNAT?

I know I am just throwing different options with my personal frustrations lol, but I hope you get what I am trying to mean, Plex, torrent and home VPN users shouldn't become masters at networking, especially when the documentation for the tools IS NOT ENOUGH.

I am about to "finish it" and I haven't played it in one sitting for sure, I have done some pauses for months here and then and when I go back to it I always find myself lost in their objectives.

One thing I can say I don't like, and it must be a very personal issue, is that the game work "kinda open" with not clear objectives of where you should head off then, which just increases my sense of loss.

I suppose many games of those days worked like that (like not having pointers in a map of where to go) but I just couldn't.... And if you add the secondary missions to it that involves time traveling it all just gets more confusing for me.

I am aware the game has quite good post game content, so I hope I do my best there...

In a nutshell I think this game does well for people that know it at 100% (as in, their favorite nostalgic game) but for newcomers you'll get lost and need a guide at hand, especially if you want to enjoy it at "its fullest" doing all the secondary quests available, that is my personal experience though.

Only if you have a very old Lemmy instance.

Summit, Voyager, Boost, Thunder, Eternity, Connect etc.

Actually this feature is a requirement to me (as well as a button/shortcut to hid said read posts) so if a Lemmy client does not have it I just won't use it (reason number 1 why I stopped using Sync for Lemmy, it has been broken for months now).

I just want to say I admire your patience, I do know a lot of folks who would go crazy with the older games without rewind or fast forward functions.

With that said, if I were you I'd use a relatively cheap Chinese emulator that mimics as an older Nintendo handheld (check out Anbernic) and go with a DS and or a 3DS (either hacked or with a flashcart) to enjoy the two screen games properly and then just jump with the current series in the Switch.

I am actually on a similar quest right now, slowly advancing, but advancing nonetheless, this has been my journey so far:

• Beat Pokémon Yellow in a Miyoo Mini half through and finished it in my RG351V
• Pokemon Soul Silver was finished with my DS Lite, New Nintendo 3DS XL and finally my DSi XL (all progress kept with my R4 2015)
• Currently playing Pokémon Omega Ruby in a New Nintendo 3DS (the battery of the XL is kinda busted, and I wanted to give some use of my Black Friday edition for once!)
• I am gonna skip the 4th gen altogether as I "recently" finished it in my DSs.
• The fifth gen won't be skipped though, plan to use the same hardware.

You can figure out the rest, a combination of 3DS and Switch, I am honestly not excited about the Switch line though.

I don't know about you, but my first android experience was with MIUI in 2020 (can't remember the MIUI ver and Android ver) and I was confused af, then fast forward to multiple custom ROMs I think they have obfuscate a lot of functions along the way in AOSP that I just say fuck it and end up using the search setting function.

So in a nutshell, I ask for a change, but for the better.

Huh, I hope it wasn't me with my constant Summit (Lemmy client) refreshes (I was having issues with that app so I was doing a lot of API requests I guess) 🤣

Happy birthday! 🥳

It needs to improve a lot, I don't think 2025 is a good fit for this change.

For me Sync has been broken since long ago (proud Summit user now), my instance has always been updated faster than .world though, so I can't really pinpoint since which version I started having issues with it.

Do you consider yourself as a creative or a Minecraft fan? (Or in a nutshell somebody who likes Legos, map edition/creation etc), because I don't, and I love BOTW but the building mechanics of TOTK have me scared of it 😅

Flaresolverr FTW!

On top of that, I was always really impressed by the GBA’s battery life but maybe I’m just old.

Same, I just don't remember ever bothering about the battery life (unless it turned red) but with that long gaming sessions it would be a concern for kid me probably.

How did the battery last that much? AFAIK the GBA didn't have any sleep mechanics... Or was one pack of batteries able to hold 12-24 hrs running the game non stop?

I can see my 5 year old android mobile struggling being a suitable self hosting machine... (Because of the battery).

But not gonna lie, having it working as a more advanced travel router connect to Tailscale sounds like a neat idea (which I think it is already possible? The other day I saw the client app that supports subnet routers? I just haven't tried it, and it has a disclaimer that it drains the battery... So I didn't end up doing that at that moment when I was away).
