- Comment on New Crazy Taxi Game Will Be Live Service with a '100-Person Survival Mode' 8 months ago:
I mean, they were obviously going to add more modes if they want the game to be AAA. The Original games were basically a 5 minute arcade loop....
- Comment on [deleted] 8 months ago:
It's the implication. Why would you have problems seeing a disclaimer that not everything in the game is culturally sound? (I just woke up and I can't remember the correct word but basically...the game has problems, nobody should be uncomfortable that it's acknowledged)
- Comment on [deleted] 8 months ago:
It makes them look weak.
How?
- Comment on [deleted] 8 months ago:
Even if they don't see at as a problem, the reason it's there makes sense to everyone. So why fight so hard to defend it?
- Comment on [deleted] 8 months ago:
Yet you care so much about it. Any other "silly" mods you saw pulled today, or just the potentially racist one?
- Comment on His true endgame 9 months ago:
For some reason that made me think that if aliens ever wanted to take over the earth, they just have to become CEOs. Nobody would be able to tell the difference.
- Comment on Running my Sega Saturn. 9 months ago:
I mean maybe you'd need an adapter, but these things will generally work on whatever TV you plug them into. TV manufacturers obviously didn't want to have to tell consumers that their products would stop working moving to LCD.
But a common factor is the console doesn't know the difference so the screen size will usually be stretched. But thats about it.
- Comment on What is the next "grown up game" now that Minecraft only goes for children? 9 months ago:
I don't recall it ever being considered a grown up game though. Even when Minecraft first came out most of the people I played with was more interested in playing WoW.
- Comment on These aren't "feel good" stories, they're "we live in hell" stories. 9 months ago:
Employers don't understand (or want to understand) the concept of "Lawful evil", where just because someone is out of sick days doesn't mean you aren't a monster for keeping them from their cancer-stricken daughter.
- Comment on Goodbye MatPat, thanks for everything 9 months ago:
So...what, when Toonami ended for the first time?
- Comment on Welp, it happened. For the first time a Lemmy comment of mine was removed because a mod didn't like the viewpoint expressed. 10 months ago:
I mean...if you want unmodded entirely, don't you just go to 4chan?
You need some moderation and they can't all be exploitive self entitled if that can be argeed on. it has be working somehow
- Comment on Did someone tell Steam it's not April 1st yet? 10 months ago:
It's completely fan driven so if thats the result, then fans trolled themselves
- Comment on Comcast Discloses Hackers May Have Stolen Data on 35.9 Million Xfinity Customers 10 months ago:
I mean, when it's literally the only option you have....
I remember when I first moved here I even called Verizon first. The rep told me, plain and flatout, that comcast, his competitor, was who I had to call, and there was no other provider in my area.
- Comment on Spotify doesn't make profit from music streaming, despite having over 400M monthly active users, because it pays two-thirds of all its revenue to the rights holders. 10 months ago:
I do buy music.
I know most people don't and won't though.
- Comment on Spotify doesn't make profit from music streaming, despite having over 400M monthly active users, because it pays two-thirds of all its revenue to the rights holders. 10 months ago:
That just leaves us nowhere to go though. We know artists aren't paid enough, but if our only answer is the one that clearly takes them out of business, then it's just sitting on a soapbox while another company comes in and does the same thing.
Either the solution has to be feasible or someone will eventually show up to ignore it.

Free is literally why they have the market they have. Completely silly point.
You can't assume the price point changes and the market remains the same as well. It's more complicated than that.
- Comment on Hormones are powerful drugs. Taken by everybody. Creating massive aggresstion, obsession and mental disturbance. What would freedom from its influences look like for a society? An individual? 10 months ago:
Because those hormones are also involved with making people want to do those things. Just because you associate them specifically with fight/fuck doesn't mean thats all they do.
- Comment on Hormones are powerful drugs. Taken by everybody. Creating massive aggresstion, obsession and mental disturbance. What would freedom from its influences look like for a society? An individual? 10 months ago:
We'd die out. It's clearly a question that's hyperfocused on the worst aspects of it.
- Comment on Hormones are powerful drugs. Taken by everybody. Creating massive aggresstion, obsession and mental disturbance. What would freedom from its influences look like for a society? An individual? 10 months ago:
...Nobody would exist, those hormones are what allowed humanity to survive and reproduce long enough to ask this question.
As crude as those things are when you look at the worst parts of humanity, they're necessary.
- Comment on This fan-made HD PC port of Zelda: Link's Awakening is so cool I can't believe Nintendo hasn't taken it down yet 10 months ago:
Lets see...
-Everything related to Bethesda's mod scene
-The entire Touhou doujin scene, even including sold games/music
-Sonic games which included fans being brought in for sonic mania
-Megaman and Street fighter have huge histories in modding. Pretty sure megaman has an entire fan-game for Zero's orgin storySo...That gives us Bethesda, Sega, and Capcom at minimum for big players, and Touhou pretty much shows you aren't going to lose your fucking IP over this.
- Comment on This fan-made HD PC port of Zelda: Link's Awakening is so cool I can't believe Nintendo hasn't taken it down yet 10 months ago:
...You realize that none of that is setting precedent, it just means you can't pursue, right? You still can't lose the IP even in the worst-case scenario, and the first example you gave even says that.
Copyright protection is effectively never lost, unless explicitly given away or the copyright has expired.
You seem to just really strongly want to justify Nintendo's actions, which are not the norm across the industry for how IP issues are handled....
Like yeah there's shitty IP laws, and shitty trademark laws, but they don't justify Nintendo's specific reactions.
- Comment on This fan-made HD PC port of Zelda: Link's Awakening is so cool I can't believe Nintendo hasn't taken it down yet 10 months ago:
...yeah?
IP is different from trademark though. You're using them interchangeably.
- Comment on This fan-made HD PC port of Zelda: Link's Awakening is so cool I can't believe Nintendo hasn't taken it down yet 10 months ago:
I'm pretty sure that only applies to trademark laws, not IP laws.
- Comment on Sega wants classic franchise reboots to show ‘edginess and a rebellious mind-set’ 11 months ago:
If we've learned anything from the past, just give The Super Monkey Ball Monkey a gun
- Comment on Boy, 15, given official warning after saluting as neo-Nazis marched through Ballarat 11 months ago:
I think the thing being talked about a lot less is how the neo-nazi's who were marching weren't stopped from what the article says.

Pot of greeds gotta be worth something after being permabanned
- Comment on HP TV ads claim its printers are 'made to be less hated' 11 months ago:
So...it's not an HP printer?
- Comment on Epic explains why it hasn't sued Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft over 30% fee 11 months ago:
Didn't that clause already go to court, and it was found to only apply to steam keys, not all releases of the game?
- Comment on Epic explains why it hasn't sued Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft over 30% fee 11 months ago:
Except even without the fees games generally get released at the same price
You're just licking someone else's boot. Epic is by no means pro-consumer.
- Comment on 4chan prepared me for this debate 😏 11 months ago:
To be fair, it's also just the word for someone you don't have a name for.
Easy name to pick when you can't think of a username after dozens of "name already taken" prompts
