do you want to play tomodachi life but don't have a switch, $60, or just don't want to pay nintendo $60?
here's an all-in-one site where you can download everything you need to emulate it!
Floralith beta — downloads and setup.
also, with an emulator, you can directly screenshot and record your game, and even mod it! add custom hair parts! import photos directly! remove region locks! emulate it!!
edit: the creator of the site, @blorblegoop, has created their own post about it, explaining who they are, addressing security concerns, and helping out with some common problems from the notes! please see their post if you have any further questions :)
everything?
everything! this site will walk you through downloading the ryujinx switch emulator, the firmware and keys needed, and the nsp game file for tomodachi life ltd.
is this safe?
the files are all directly downloaded from this site, so there's no third party to worry about. i didn't make this site - it was created by @blorblegoop , who recently contacted me with this post on their blog addressing security concerns. they scan all the files themself before hosting. i scanned my own pc after downloading as well, and it all came up clean! but it’s good to be aware of pc safety, especially when pirating. it can’t hurt to do your own scan to be sure!
how much pc knowledge do i need for this?
you should know how to download files, how to make and manage folders in file explorer, and how to navigate a program's settings menu.
any settings i should change in ryujinx?
here's some i recommend checking before starting the game:
for tomodachi life specifically, make sure you set a timezone in settings! you can have it match your pc's time for simplicity.
there are ostensibly keyboard controls, but they're a little wonky to figure out. if you can, plugging in any controller should work just fine. just make sure to select it in ryujinx's input settings! (you should also still be able to use your mouse for things like drawing facepaint!)
graphics settings will be on a per-pc basis, depending on your pc's strength. it's worth it to experiment with them and see what gives you the best performance. ryujinx will explain what each setting does if you hover over it!
the game crashed?
that's very likely to happen! on first time loading a scene, the emulator can sometimes struggle. it happened to me the first time i opened the mii editor, and the first time i opened the news station. you should be able to relaunch and everything will be fine. if it's happening super frequently, though, you may need to adjust your graphics or cpu settings!
a sixth thing i didn't think of?
check out this post by the site’s creator, where they go into some common issues from the notes and provide some solutions!
if you still have issues, feel free to leave a reblog with comment or send me an ask! if you need more specific guidance, i'll be happy to help! i'm not an expert on emulation, but if nothing else, i can try to point you towards a reddit thread that is more competent than i am
i hope you have fun playing the game! i did not create this site, but i found the creator in a single reddit thread asking people to spread the word, so i figured i'd do what i can and make this post. if it works for you, please help out and spread the word even further, and support the original creator of floralith! thank you!!
it should be mandatory for every pc game that has absurdly high resolution graphics and monstrously large filesizes to have a "dogshit version" that you can play on any old pc cause i've had it up to here with getting excited for games only to discover that my laptop doesn't meet the minimum system requirements and i will never be able to play them. i don't care how realistically the windows reflect light. i don't need to be able to distinguish every available hair on the player character's head. i just want to play viddy game :(
happy 20 year anniversary of Neil banging out the tunes!
though every rat is special, it's a wonderful and unusual thing for their accomplishments to be remembered and cherished by so many people so many years later. we're all so fortunate to know about the rat who banged out the tunes!
thank you to all the people who sent me reference photos of their beloved rats for this piece!!! credits under the cut!

Reading through these articles by Al Jazeera and the HRW had my heart stop cold. Not only do military trials of Palestinians have a 96% conviction rate and prisons full of horrible, torturous conditions, but now there's this. Just vile. Please give the articles a read if you've the time. There's more out there as well.
If you are interested in helping a family survive and escape Gaza, please consider contributing to my friend Hamza's fundraiser, or supporting him other ways. His family has several young children, and I worry about them deeply.
At least 85 people, almost all of them young girls, have been killed in an air strike on a primary school in southern Iran, the Iranian judiciary said.
The attack on Saturday morning hit Shajareh Tayyebeh school in the city of Minab, in the Hormozgan province, as the United States and Israel began launching strikes on targets across Iran.
The victims were between 7 and 12 years old, according to Iran's Tasnim and Fars news agencies.
jesus christ, yall please fr keep mexico in your thoughts, a big narco leader got killed by our gov and now things are going up in flames in some places, cities and states are getting closed down by cartels, iirc at least one airport has been closed so far on puerto vallarta, a Big tourist city, and even the fucking oxxo near our house closed early
the center of the state i'm living in rn and the borders of it are chaos, and my bro's school cancelled classes for the next week
if anything else happens i'll update with a rb, y para otros mexicanos aqui en tumblr, porfa tengan cuidado y traten de no salir si no es absolutamente necesario
i really think scarlet hollow could benefit from sensitivity readers or consultants. it’s something I’ve seen as a critique from other fans for a while (alongside my own critiques) especially when it comes to how racism and ableism are tackled in the game, but it feels like with chapter 5, the cracks are really showing more than before. there needs to be an outside person who gives advice about this because there’s only so much that two people can cover with such a hugely branching game and extensive script. it’s important to ask for help especially when tackling these topics.
idk ever since the chapter came out and I’ve seen so many of the takes that i agree with about the sloppy handling of the Black characters’ stories, it’s been bothering me a lot and I don’t think it’s something that should go unaddressed by the devs. especially when some POC are saying they don’t feel like they can recommend this game in good conscience because of the poor handling of POC characters’ stories. same with the handling of ableism against disabled and mentally ill characters, because as a disabled person it has felt like our concerns have been ignored and overlooked.
its sad because I love this game, so so so much. its one of my favorite if not my absolute favorite game ive played. it’s been a huge part of my life for nearly 5 years. and i just want to see it reach the full potential i know it can, and that includes listening to marginalized voices when they tell you something needs to be worked on.
God that fuckass ai chatbot that's being plastered all over Tumblr is actually fucked that shit is absurdly malicious.
Yeah chatbots suck off rip, rping with a Gojo bot is bad and if you wanna rp you go and engage with people with common interests and yes it's scary but connecting with people is scary in general and at the very least you have a shared interest with this person. That's why you're role-playing with them in the first place.
But god I am especially disgusted by how shameless this one especially is. The fact that it outright advertises and encourages its targeted demographic (people in fandom especially teens) to fucking recreate their mutuals in that godawful app WHO ARE REAL FUCKING PEOPLE IS ACTUALLY VILE
"Who needs friends when you can just talk to a bot who oh so obviously knows you better than anybody in real life ever could?"
"Have an oc but nobody wants to listen to you talk about them? WHY NOT JUST TALK TO THEM YOURSELF MAKE YOUR OC YOUR NEW FRIEND :3"
"Why wait for your mutual who is being selfish by not letting you talk to them when you're up at 3am and they're clearly sleeping? JUST RECREATE THEM IN OUR APP. MAKE THE PERFECT OBEDIENT MUTUAL TODAY!"
It's so blatantly targeting those of us who do feel insecure about these things, those of us who are afraid to talk publicly about our interests and are terrified of so much as even mentioning we have ocs. It's blatantly targetting those of us who always second guess whether or not to reach out to mutuals we find cool or are intimidated by, it's preying on people's insecurities and further enforcing that shit by making these bots seem more appealing than actual human connections with all of it's necessary faults. It wants those of us who already feel lonely to be even lonelier so that they can get addicted to their app of which they proudly advertise under a cutesy #relatable aesthetic alongside uncredited stolen art of some random ass trending character.
It is so unbelievably obvious and shameless for what it's trying to do by advertising these faux connections just so it can steal people's data and buy some more ram and fuck up our environment. I hope the ai bubble pops yesterday and that this group goes up in flames.
I have been multiple vetted for 18 months… why the neglect?🙏🙏💔
I am just like the other supported campaigns, and we are suffering just like them.💔😥😭
Isn’t this injustice? 5 days of posting and only $72 aud .
$72 AUD = $50 USD
👇👇💔💔😭😭
How will we eat‼️❓
How will we buy medicine for my sick grandmother who is fighting her illness before our eyes while we stand helpless, holding back our tears in front of her❓
I cannot afford milk for my child, who is suffering from calcium deficiency.💔😥💔
Please help us. I am not asking for much — just €50 a day is enough for the ten of us.
