Ed's got another banger: https://www.wheresyoured.at/make-fun-of-them/

What's extra fun is that HN found it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44424456

There's at least one (if not two if you handle the HN response separately) good threads that could be made from this. Don't have the time personally at the moment.

I will say that I'm shocked to see some reasonable shit in the HN comments, people saying the post is too long or not an acceptable tone are getting told off rather respectably with some good explanations (effectively: this was written this way intentionally you dolt). Broken clock and all that, I guess.

Yep, they are explicitly not banks or traditional financial institutions and therefore have none of the standard protections. They don't only lack the protections of credit cards, but also of banks in general.

There are countless stories of people losing access to over $10k in their PayPal account with no option to appeal because PayPal decided their Twitch revenue looked too much like money laundering. Or because a single transaction involved a card later reported stolen. Or... just because. Some people aren't even given a reason.

hiss!

Especially from Gartner of all places. Maybe this will finally start tempering the hype in the executives.

At least in Princess and the Frog (bottom right) she chose to bust her ass working multiple jobs to save up to open her own restaurant.

Cinderella, and Tangled (posted in another comment here) are both princesses explicitly being made to work by evil women.

Newer content like Moana and Frozen features spunky adventurous princesses. No housework.

Snow White though? You're telling me you have a household of seven men and between all of them they can't spread out the work enough to properly keep a house? For shame.

Panel #2 makes for an excellent reaction image on its own.

Maybe I didn't make this clear: by default, in ANY Pokemon game you shouldn't need to erase the existing save to overwrite it with a new save. The whole "erase" option was really only for if you were selling the game I guess. Whatever you find regarding that isn't really applicable to your situation.

Whether the save is from a different "run" or not you should just get the same prompt as normal asking you if you're sure you want to overwrite the existing save.

Unless the rom hack maker did something absurd, the issue you have is something to do with things outside of the emulated game. That being the emulator, its settings, or folder/file permissions on where the saves are being stored as files.

It's been hours now (and a very busy day), but I swear that half of that comment (including that section) wasn't there when I commented regarding safer seas.

But there's no mark showing the comment has been edited either.

Scurvy must be eating me brain.

Good news! No need to wait for unofficial servers. Over a year ago they opened a feature called safer seas where you can play without PvP!

What? Pokemon should always allow you to overwrite existing save data. It just asks you to confirm you're sure before you overwrite. That's been a thing since gen 1.

Also, the save data isn't baked into the ROM. Save files and save states are stored as separate files from the rom itself.

It sounds more like RetroArch doesn't have rights to overwrite files wherever you have your save data saving to. Or maybe you set that particular file to read only.

Edit: there may also be an issue with compatibility with the romhack and the emulation core. It's unlikely, but around 8 years ago I think I remember there being some issues with DS emulation and certain Pokemon romhacks. Best to make sure retroarch and your cores are up to date.
