overview for Carcharodonna

A friend of mine very graciously gifted me his old Steam Deck and I’ve been hard at work putting emulators and roms on it. It’s really amazing how far emulation has come. I got achievements and cloud saves set up on it and I’ve also found that it runs most Switch games quite well. If Switch 2 is as easy to emulate as the Switch, I have no doubt that we’ll have Switch 2 roms being played on Steam OS. Or similar devices.

I’ve also been focused on adding fan translated games that were never released outside of Japan, including a bunch of PC-98, Super Famicom, Saturn, and PS1 stuff. Anyone have any recommendations of older games I probably haven’t played but should?

Well, it'll stay up on Tankie Tube along with others I've uploaded, if you wanna watch later. It's transcoding rn but should be here: https://tankie.tube/w/oWar6MTjazujtaxvuQo8uj

Someone in the steam comments says they joke a lot about pedophilia.

I think the only time this is brought up is someone falsely accusing Date of being a pedophile, but I don't remember the exact context of it.

Is it like the typical anime young girl fetishization stuff?

I don't recall anything like fetishizing underage characters, but there is plenty of pervy anime humor tbh. There is a character Iris who is an 18 yo streamer/idol and at least a couple of the characters are pervy simps towards her. There also is a subplot of an older rich guy dating a high schooler but it's not played for laughs and portrayed very negatively.

So I found this CW guide which is extremely detailed and probably contains everything objectionable: https://drainbangle.tumblr.com/post/655488958657085440/ai-the-somnium-files-content-warnings It's pretty thorough, though I do disagree a bit with the characterization here of how LGBTQ characters are treated.

I definitely would agree with that guide that there's a lot of "anime bullshit", so I would definitely steer clear if you want to avoid that kind of thing.

Trump threatens 100% tariff on the BRIC bloc of nations if they act to undermine US dollar by Carcharodonna in c/news@hexbear.net

China won’t crash of course but I’m guessing a lot of related stocks (in many places, not just China) will when the tariffs hit. China would be able to adjust in the longer term, of course. But honestly idk, I’m not a finance expert so really I’m just guessing.
