3DS was a potential day-one purchase for me. Then the launch lineup sucked arse and region-locking was announced. No way am I paying for games locally (I live in New Zealand, DS games already cost $80 a piece new)

Now I'm going to probably hold off at least a year. Inbetween then Sony has their opportunity to win me over with this beast instead. It will be hard because the 3DS is my ticket to first party Nintendo games. But still. MAKE IT HAPPEN SONY.

In *my* day, these cheats were *free*, and you "unlocked" them by inputting a string of button combinations on a title screen.

This has changed my purchase plan for the 3DS, actually. Living in New Zealand, I am NOT going to purchase a PAL system. No freaking way. Not only do bunches of games not come out, they come LATE, and they come EXPENSIVE.

So then. I will instead purchase a 3DS from America. This frustrates me greatly, because if it screws up, my warranty is useless. What might've been a day-one purchase is now going to be a purchase I'll wait on.

@Gibbeynator Clearly, yes.

And Europe also says hello.

Gosh these guys are amazingly intelligent.

If this means I get to use their amazing tools and hack my PS3, WOOHOO. Bring it on. I'll even buy a new PS3 if the slim will take better to the modding.

Oh but we do, because as much fun as it would be to ignore losers like you, it is people like you that result in a lack of basic rights for queer individuals. It is also people like you that make being open about ones sexuality a sh*tty experience. So as great as it'd be to ignore the stupidity, we can't.

Theres a reason every single pre-modern religion (because modern religions fully support homosexuality) condemned homosexuality, and its the same reason they were all racist, cruel and sexist too.

@CorneliusPrime128

Actually, there is genetic evidence for homosexuality. It could be a recessive gene. It could be a mutation [which doesn't make it bad, considering it is through mutations that humanity was created], or gay people could just have had straight sex. I am ace and I am in a relationship with someone who is straight.

@Bronxchulo

My parents have also been very hurtful against my sexuality. It is not your parents being homophobic etc that would determine it. It would be lots of little things that you don't even realize that would leave to it. Like a lot of things its probably a mixture of genetics and upbringing.

This is not to say I am saying you can just choose; I have TRIED to change but can't. I am ace and that is just that. Its not leaving me.

@Claws

The thing is, it is such a moot point. Being natural doesn't equal good. So why do people talk like it suddenly does? No their body parts don't fit together. So what is the point?

Our entire world we live in is "unnatural". One of the great things about humanity is that we have circumvented nature. We have all of this great technology. And yet people are still convinced that our sexual relationships must be only straight?

Let alone the fact that that is wrong anyway. What is natural is what happens in the physiological world. And in the physiological world, some people are gay, straight, bi, ace etc etc etc (too many queer types to list). These people through their existence are natural human beings; their likes, dislikes etc are all natural too.

@original fred

As queer myself, I fully recognize that it may be upbringing not genetics. I mean, the same would hold true for hetrosexuality. I mean it may or may not. It doesn't bother me whether my queerness is caused by upbringing or genetics; I just KNOW that no matter how hard I try to change it, I can't.
