    “While you have repeatedly claimed that the ACP is necessary for connecting participating households to the Internet, it appears the vast majority of tax dollars have gone to households that already had broadband prior to the subsidy,” the Republicans’ December 2023 letter to Rosenworcel said.

    That may be partly explained by the fact that many ACP recipients were getting a different discount under a predecessor program that ended once the ACP was implemented. The $30 monthly ACP benefit replaced the previous $50 monthly subsidy from the Emergency Broadband Benefit Program that started enrolling users in May 2021.

    “True Pacifist” route is worth doing if you enjoy Undertale, it’s not terribly difficult and fleshes out the characters a bit more. If you’re thinking about going the other way, I would say play up through Undyne and see how that feels. Edit: also play Deltarune if you havent

    I agree, homebrewing a Wii is so easy that I think I could do it in my sleep at this point. If anyone is debating between one or the other, Wii is the way to go you’re essentially getting two consoles in one (and there are even emulators/vc for almost every console that comes before them).

    That being said, I just have to admire the work that people are putting in to the GameCube after all these years. There’s something really pleasing to me about its form factor and its simplicity compared to the Wii. This channel has several other showcases like this one if that sounds interesting!
