I think the fact that they are very very glacially slowly delivering on things at least, all the while self-discovering software development instead of learning it, that aggravates me even more. Bloober Team could finish this faster and more competently than these clowns...

And you can be your ass that for how outdated it'll look when it releases in 2035 or so, it'll still chug at <30 FPS on your NVidia 35090.

You can just admit you were wrong, you know? Both about current legal cases and about how how proofs of negative claims are viewed in mathmatics particularly logic, and in philosophy. That's okay. Sometimes we are wrong, and we learn from accepting that.
I don't disagree Nintendo is a shithole company, after all. Just take it as a learning experience: More than one company can be shite at the same time.

You can't prove a negative
*blinks*
You are calling me the "dumbass", here? 😅 Both logic and philosophy say this perspective is wrong, and also, funnily enough, if this were true (as in, it's not possible to proof a negative assertion in a burden-of-proof scenario) then that very claim could not be proven either? Because "You cannot prove a negative" is, in itself, a negative assertion.
Luckily for us this is of course wrong, and you can prove a negative. Especially in matters of fact, since you could find a list of current filings of Microsoft and hence show that no, of all their ongoing lawsuits, there are none that are targetting developers (which is not the case, it was easy enough to find two cases without digging any deeper). - Comment on 5 days ago:
Microsoft and Sony aren't currently trying to sue other developers into the ground
[citation needed], because given their size this feels more than just unlikely.

Yeah but while it ain't for me at all (I prefer written news), I know a lot of people do enjoy this format.
- Comment on Mississippi Age Verification Law 2 weeks ago:
Yeah? Why was that ever in question in this contexdt?
- Comment on The recent Steam censorship debacle actually sort of opened me up to adult games. 3 weeks ago:
Yeah the exceptions are rare, and then many like HuniePop 1 and 2 or Subverse lean intentionally into overdone slapstick.
(That being said HuniePop I can't recommend enough, easily the best match-3 out there completely ignoring the porn parts)

And then you usually get "But the sex isn't realistic!!!"... yeah? Neither is the violence, unless you are frequently the Doomslayer or something?!
Like, how is that even an argument. How can violence in games be preferrable to sex?!
- Comment on Mississippi Age Verification Law 3 weeks ago:
Of course, but whether you're decentralized or not has nothing to do with whether you as someone running a service has to decide for themselves whether to block Mississippi users or risk legal consequences?
- Comment on Mississippi Age Verification Law 3 weeks ago:
Each instance still has an owner. Just like the Bluesky CEO, they need to decide whether the (legal) risks are worth it to them and whether they can cover the (legal) costs if needed.
For any individual instance owner, this changes nothing.
- Comment on Mississippi Age Verification Law 3 weeks ago:
How come plenty federated stuff is also blocking people then? Apparently that alone does not help?
- Comment on Mississippi Age Verification Law 3 weeks ago:
As evident by Lemmy instances not doing the same thing. /s
There's a difference between being decentralized and doing something illegal, you know?
- Comment on Mississippi Age Verification Law 3 weeks ago:
Entirely understandable. Like you say, it's not your fight. This is more so if one creates something and isn't even from the US, if the wankers in a specific US state elect shitty government, that's not on you in a wholly different country to go up against.
- Comment on Begun the kernel wars have 5 weeks ago:
It uses an anti-cheat that is loaded while the game is not? What is this and why is anybody playing it at all? O.o
- Comment on Begun the kernel wars have 5 weeks ago:
Ahahahaha. 😂 That is just brilliant. The kernel anti-cheat deadlock.
- Comment on Can an American explain to me what's with the grooves on PS1 NTSC cases? 5 weeks ago:
That's fascinating. Why where those like it? To not slide around so easily?
- Comment on A Speed Loader For Your 3D Printer Filament 5 weeks ago:
Very limited use case of course (long-tube bowden style feed mechanisms aren't that common any more) but damn is it cool for that case!
- Comment on YSK that Gerrymandering allows politicians to choose their own voters. In many countries, it's illegal. Gerrymandering is common in the United States 5 weeks ago:
I request all districts are now Penrose tiled using the Einstein hat!
