I’m someone’s favorite.
Luckily the internet exists and allows you to see present day conditions without going to the place yourself!
Well now I’m sad and want to go back to the cabin I stayed in for my first anniversary and finish reading.
Just once I would love for a judge to just go "You know what? It’s obvious what your company is doing here, so rather than attempt to receive this information in good faith, since it’s not being OFFERED in good faith, we can go ahead and say you lose, and now owe punitive damages to every artist you’ve sued over the years over a couple circles. "
But no, they pretend that corporations are people.
I’ll believe they’re people when I finally see one executed, or taxed, or imprisoned, or face any of the consequences normal people do. You can’t argue the idea of a comoany has personhood and then walk that back any time it comes to punishment.
Fuck disney
Then you’re camping!
You cannot “pre-emptively” defend yourself, an attack to head off a suspected attack is still an attack.
Other than that semantic nitpick, personally I’m there with you… However, you cannot seriously be pointing this out without also recognizing that Israel is very much the initial offender in any conflict that arises as direct result of their actions in gaza.
If I let a bully sucker punch me so I have an excuse to beat up all the people around them, and then someone else close by hits me, I can’t honestly say I am the one who is defending myself.
Gotta be unpredictable, the nozzles can smell intent.
“The more you tighten your grip, the more star systems customers slip through your fingers.”
Tldr I don’t think this is an unpopular opinion.
Cake day?
I have no idea what day I first started using lemmy, or when I made an account. I’m okay not knowing.
As for “karma”, do any instances track total karma, or just per-comment? Honestly I don’t give a shit if my comments do well or not, I don’t live for other people’s amusement.
As for other people, I can’t speak for them, but I haven’t seen anyone crying for lemmy to be more like reddit.

From my understanding of Japanese law (lol super duper limited), it actually is the case specifically in Japan that they could lose their older IPs, however if they are still in use (banjo kazooie just got a new game in the last few years, right?) then THOSE IPs are safe in terms of maintaining ownership.
In my opinion that’s just bullshit, but I do understand the reasoning.
However, if an IP has been abandoned, and no new games are planned, it should be completely fair game.
Which they and every other gaming company have tried to kill at one point or another, and I fully expect them to try again next Gen. They probably hope that the people who pay attention and care are getting older and won’t make as much of a fuss as we did with the last three generations.
Barring me from getting old games in a modern platform will not stop me from playing old games on a modern platform.
The sooner they realize that and plan accordingly by releasing their old catalogs for appropriate pricing, the sooner they will get what they want and piracy and emulation will plummet.
When people have a cheap and easy way of doing something without wondering if they’re about to get SWATed, they’re way more likely to actually do that.
Every time I hear Nintendo issues another C&D, I have a new emulator to download before they get forcibly taken down.
It’s 100% the streisand effect.
“Oh you’re whining about another small group of people passionate about your past games? Well let me pile onto your woes. Asshole.”
I do not understand how one company can have so much dedication from fans while simultaneously despising them.
If YOU aren’t going to offer a 100% obviously and clearly above board, legal, safe, option for games anymore, someone else WILL and you get absolutely nothing from it.
And I also don’t understand why a company with no intention of ever selling something again still has the ability to sue people while claiming lost revenue. Get fucked, and stop bitching. It just makes me never want to buy Nintendo products ever again.
But that won’t stop me from playing Nintendo products.
I had to fiddle with my own on my old laptop, I used one of the plethora of github scripts, but then they changed the api to limit access to (I think) about 100/min, so I just changed the delays to 1000ms so it would only delete 60/min.
Took two weeks, but I still haven’t seen any old content pop back up outside of archives and quotes from other comments in the thread.
I search for a couple random things I remember saying on ddg/bing/Google whenever I think about it, so far nothing.
As I’ve said before about certain countries, you know your platform is doing well when you (essentially) tell people “No, sorry, you can’t leave.”
No worries, text doesn’t convey tone well and I could see how my comment might seem like I was calling YOU smug for not taking interest in something.
Oh no, I meant the other guy saying “you’re one of those people who enjoys helldivers 2” in a way that’s clear he’s trying to say it sucks and he’s better than that.
You didn’t come off as smug.
Then you’re missing out.
You can do both. Sometimes at the same time!
And most likely without some kind of smug sense of superiority over helldivers 2 players of all things like the other guy.
Oh god this was me in highschool.
My response though was “I don’t really like lip balm, but thanks”
Literal years before I remembered it and facepalmed.
“we’re in line at a theme park called DANGER and someone just force fed us a FAST PASS”

Never heard of it before, but now I know what I’m doing this evening.
All I can think of while seeing “Oklahoma city” is “oh… Shit…”
So much stuff is going to die around here simply because it can’t live in Oklahoma’s climate.
Certain trees have started dying en-masse around me because they were already at their upper tolerance for temperatures and water.
