  • That’s because of circumstances beyond the average voters control where the majority of people inevitably votes between 2 parties and a vote for independent gets essentially “counted” but “thrown away” because the pool is less than the other 2 main parties.

    In our current voting system “first past the post”, It inevitably leads to a 2 party system regardless of if other parties exist.

    This video is one of my favorites that explain this problem. https://youtu.be/s7tWHJfhiyo?si=ri9DbpvXxjyRonN3

    The only way I see that we can maybe break past this is to band together and convince more than half of one of the major parties to vote independent. It’s possible perhaps, but highly unlikely. ( the video kinda covers this as well. )

    Or maybe convince the voter base to change voting systems. I personally like the sound of “ranked choice” voting. Granted it doesn’t fix everything but it would be alot better than what we have now. And it might give independents a higher chance of possibly winning.


  • I beat Dot Hack Infection, Mutation, Outbreak, and Quarantine in order back when they were first releasing on the PS2 in the US. And importing my memory card save every time.

    My friend witnessed me defeat the final boss in Quarantine. It was such a long and crazy fight. And the whole thing was just mindblowing.

    Sadly I don’t have any pictures or videos of it. And I traded in my PS2 a long time ago.

    I have been considering revisiting the game but it’s a big game with ALOT of content. I don’t know when I’ll get around to it.

    Good times and Good memories.



  • My favorite controller currently is: “Gulikit Kingkong 2 Pro”

    It has hall effect sensors for the sticks and triggers so pretty much drift proof.

    The layout is similar to a switch controller but the buttons can be swapped for a more Xbox-ish layout.

    You can look it up on amazon. I bought it back in Nov 2022 and it still hasn’t failed me.



  • My version of a TLDR:

    Spotpass is a wireless tech that would auto connect with other 3ds or Wii U systems that were in the immediate area albeit with a limited range. It was their way of having a social community. Sort of like how you might meet other people while walking around outside.

    In the case of Spotpass, when you connected, it would show you the user’s profile, their favorite games, etc. And in some cases for specific games it would provide special DLCs or content that cannot be found elsewhere.

    Hence why we’d want to preserve that data since some DLC and other features are exclusive to Spotpass.
