Should I spend 20 bucks for a mother 3 repro cart to maybe play this game finally?

20 bucks is definitely worth it to play that game!
absolutely
except wait i can mail you my old flash cart lol
shit i just bought one, haha. i can probably cancel it if you want to send me yours. i would rather have one i know works.
Iām sorry to bring the discussion of UIs back up but I went to PSN web store today and found out the new store design is live.
Wow it is so bad. Astonishingly so. I keep finding more things to be mad about.

for those who need an update on the situation (hint: itās no one) google issued a statement distancing themselves from the guyās tweet and he had to change his twitter bio to more accurately reflect that heās not actually a google stadia creative director, heās just the creative director of a montreal studio bought by google

my flashed ds lite and ez-flash iv lite setup with mother 3 permanently in the 32mb eeprom is one of the only things I kind of regret selling when I was broke
I realise the guy doesnāt speak for Google but it is hilariously reflective of Googleās general lack of awareness about their platform and where it fits into the actual market. Cue the āeven Google distances itself from Stadiaā joke.

Hey, so it works and saves etc. withdrew 100 DP from the frog bank, but I thought to crack it open and replace the battery. Itās the tiniest battery ever (6.75mm in diameter) and doesnāt appear to be replaceable (without SMD soldering) - do EEPROM carts even need battery replacements?
I just donāt want booj to lose progress, you know, no crying until the end and all.
not worth futzing with I think, the odds of it dying during his playthrough if itās working right now are pretty low

really have no idea why they got rid of the āwishlistā , it was a very handy way to keep track of when things went on sale. have they stealthily replaced it with some other feature that does the same thing, or is that just gone now?
edit: thereās also no way to like filter search results? literally why do this? what is the point?

I had assumed they tore down the old wishlists because they couldnāt/wouldnāt make it compatible with whatever new implementation they developed, much like the rest of old PSN. But there are in fact very few usability features on the new store at all. I donāt know if this is yet another COVID affected thing and itāll become feature complete down the line, but woof.
or maybe they thought they like the firefox redesign so much that they should steā¦ be inspired by its philosophy. it looks like it, at least!
they didnāt want to maintain the old codebase anymore so they had to rewrite it from scratch and half the features arenāt ready yet

more srsly though, that store looks like i will not buy anything on it if i have even the slightest choice of getting it elsewhere, and i donāt see how this is exactly what people want?
like it reminds me of amazon where it crams in more and more rows of sponsored crap that i get frustrated after a page and just close the page, and started to not buy anything via amazon if i can get it somewhere else. and again, i donāt see how that works for their business if i just donāt want to come back anymore?
lol and the titles and stuff are in the code, just not displayed or in any alt or title tags. had to have that fuckin perfect grid, but couldnāt be bothered to have alts or titles on the images. what an absolutely white bread pile of shit. at least have it look cool if itās not going to display any meaningful information!
