Standing mesmerized on the Tokyo subway as I watch an animated ad in which Ritsuko from Evangelion sees a cyberattack nearly destroy NERV, only to yell "DEPLOY THE NORTON!" and resolve the crisis in a matter of seconds.

The Myrient mirror is now 100% COMPLETE.

Total archive size: 385TB.

All downloads have been validated.

Next stage:
• Torrent generation
• Public availability

The website is now back online.

Why this matters:

Many gaming companies shut down the digital stores for older consoles.

If you didn't already buy the games, there is no official way to download them anymore.

ROM archives like this help preserve gaming history so new generations can experience the games we grew up with in the 90s.

This is the MacBook Neo's competition btw...

14" 1080p 300 nits display with 45% sRGB coverage. Low-res for 14" and unreadable in sunlight.

Last gen Intel chip (A18 Pro gets 60% higher SC and comparable MC CPU performance while being silent).

Cheap build straight out of 2010.

Meta spent $26.3 million lobbying for "age verification" bills in 45 states. But the bills don't regulate social media. They regulate your operating system.

Someone traced $2 billion in nonprofit grants and lobbying records. Here's what they found:

1. Meta's lobbyist wrote Louisiana's age verification law. The sponsor confirmed it. It forces OS-level surveillance. Meta's platforms? Zero new requirements.

2. Meta covertly funded an astroturf "child safety" group to push these bills nationally. It has no EIN, no incorporation records. It doesn't legally exist.

3. $70M+ into state super PACs, deliberately fragmented across databases to dodge centralized tracking.

4. On every social media bill, Meta fights. On the one bill regulating operating systems, Meta just "monitors."

5. The EU solved this with zero-knowledge proofs. No biometrics. US bills mandate vendors that send your face to third-party clouds.

Meta profits from harvesting data. They wrote laws forcing every device to broadcast your identity through a system-level API. They built the surveillance. They wrote the mandate. They exempted themselves.

Every claim sourced from IRS filings, Senate disclosures, and state lobbying records.
