Man I miss the singleplayer "story" mode thing. It was a great way to build skills for matches with friends.

The Nointro group seems to be the most prolific/trustworthy for cartridge based retro stuff, as far as I can tell.
This seems like some prime meme template material. Little guy saying something dumb and big one going "No"
Yeah, as said, that's going to be due to however your TV upscales things.
Getting a dedicated scaler will help, but bear in mind that you're taking an image that's at least 1/4 smaller (might be less than that, can't remember the math off hand) than your screen's native resolution and zooming in on it.
Using most scalers gives you a ton of options for how to zoom in. Straight pixels, bilinear (or trilinear) filtering, and some have various shader effects as well to emulate the style of TVs these consoles were made for.
By using HDMI/VGA you are getting the clearest digital signal version of that image possible, but it's still tiny, and any way you choose to expand it will have pros and cons.
It would be a lot easier to engage with the subculture from the outside if the porn wasn't so prevalent or up-front as it is/had been in the past, and if the weirdest/most socially maladjusted members of the culture didn't tend to be the most attention grabbing (but that's an issue with almost every group online though).
If you're up for it, I'd love to be pointed at some good examples of the subculture outside of the fetish/kink stuff.
Unfortunately there is a bit of a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation here. Put overly simply: If we start enforcing copyright in training AI models now, do you really believe that any companies who have already trained their models are really going to just toss them? I'm afraid that it's going to just be regulatory capture where the existing big names just pull the ladder up behind them while still making money off of their stolen content fueled plagiarism machines.
We'll ignore that OpenAI isn't actually profitable for the sake of the argument.
That said, abolishing copyright is quite possibly the stupidest solution I've ever heard for this issue.
Either of the two tropes gets old after enough exposure, and there are good place for both.
But I agree I'd definitely love to see more satirical "dark backstories".
"I'm going to destroy the ecosystem because long long ago, a seagull stole my french fries, and I've never been the same since."
This matches my experience in my career as well (various forms of IT into sysadmin/sysengineering), for what it's worth. Plenty of ways to express yourself and your individuality without bringing something that has strong sexual kink connotations into things.
And whatever your opinion on the fairness of it, you can't argue that furry art doesn't carry a strong strong association with the sexual fetish side of things.
Why use this instead of Ship of Harkinian?
Plenty of other great advice. Just tossing in: I would kill to have regularly available reliable childcare outside of my working hours so I could take care of my living space better.
Moving out would complicate that for you.
I'm going to take a flying leap and assume you've never come close to court proceedings.
No serious law firm is doing full page multicolored graphics as watermarks. Flower Lawyers doing what you've described would get a similar response. If this was a picture of the lawyer for the case scowling instead they'd get laughed out of court.
