  • Still illegal in many places in the US. I just happen to live in a state that is legal.

    Since I’m close to a state border, I only need to drive about 20 minutes to be somewhere it’s illegal again.

    And if you live in an “at will” state, they can just fire you even if it’s legal.

    Sidenote: “at will” employment is the biggest sack of bullshit that employers convinced people is totally normal.

    Im hopeful that the US, EU, and UK legalize it within the next few years. I’m realistic about the chances, I know how the older generations of politicians are, but I still cross my fingers.





  • Every time I get downvoted, I move an inch closer to the exit door of this community.

    Lol OK bye.

    Nobody gives a shit and complaining about down votes is the quickest way to get them.

    Guess what! Outside of a few custom instances that for some reason want to be reddit, the fediverse doesn’t track your total karma.

    Unless you’re going back to keep track of your comments for some weird reason, the only time you see a down voted comment is when you get replies.

    I could have hundreds of net down votes by now, but I don’t know because luckily my instance doesn’t track votes.

    The point is, it’s a little number next to an arrow. Who gives a shit.



  • 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.



  • 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.”
