Ya, kinda tired of hitting the edges of my samsung, and their accidental edge touch protection’s kinda useless.

What sites would these be, out of curiosity?

Yes, hyperbole is non-falsefiable. It’s a rhetorical device, not a claim unto itself. In this instance it’s a rhetorical device being used to communicate the idea that, were this Nintendo, they’d be receiving rightful backlash, but people, like you, online will give a pass due to the sheer fact that it’s Valve doing the takedown.

I will no longer be moderating this community. Please use !anime@ani.social.

to me, this is clearly an example of incorrectly getting mad about something and then shifting the goalposts to not have to take the L.

Or it’s hyperbole.

The last time you’re referring to was Valve directly distributing the project in question. That is not the reality here, nor is there any implication that Valve allows it. If Valve never issued this takedown, there’d be no reason to even believe Valve knew of this infringement nor that they were so intimately familiar with it to know Nintendo’s IP was also being infringed upon.

This is just a corporate passing of the buck. There’s no reason to believe a third party infringing upon the properties of two parties would give the latter parties any ability or risk of going after one another.

This project was not on steam and as such was not distributed by nor associated with Valve in any way beyond infringement of IP and use of their assets. Let’s not give Valve a pass just because they can lazily and baselessly say “um nintendo!” about it.

Valve about to become as litigious as Nintendo with IP they’ve let rot.

So far, my list is looking like:

Sasaki and Peeps
Tis Time For “Torture,” Princess
Delicious in Dungeon
Solo Leveling
Gushing Over Magical Girls
Mr Villain’s Day Off
7th Time Loop
The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic
My Instant Death Ability Is Overpowered
Fluffy Paradise

I’ll probably also watch, at the minimum:

Doctor Elise: The Royal Lady with the Lamp
Metallic Rouge
Urusei Yatsura S2
The Unwanted Undead Adventurer
Tales of Wedding Rings
A Sign of Affection
The Foolish Angel Dances with the Devil
Mashle: Magic and Muscles (just need to finish S1 first)

Oh ya, this was amazing tbh. It just kept climbing with all the elements it threw in. In particular, I love the idea of there being two “magic” systems that operate independently in fundamentally distinct ways.

“Cult Apple haters” is a goofy phrase and doesn’t exist. Maybe people who swear off / boycott Apple, but a cult? Goofy.

Try Seven Mortal Sins.

I personally find them both useful. Well, Tiktok specifically not youtube shorts.

My thing with tiktok is that their content recommendation algorithm is best-in-class at knowing what sort of content I want, and it starts edging away from what I want, just marking stuff as “not interested” a few times will bring it back in line. By modulating my behaviours on certain types of content (i.e. making choices over whether to watch or skip, mark as “not interested”, view comments, comment myself), I can customize an algorithmic feed that delivers what I want.

Granted this is quite an amount of work to use a “social media app”, unlike the other platforms, it’s possible and it’s good.

Youtube (long-form) I think is extremely useful when I’m looking for something in-particular, especially if it’s something that doesn’t age very much. Guides and tutorials, let’s plays, retrospectives, etc. They both fit better with the long-form content, and are much easier to find on Youtube than Tiktok.

The content recommendation algorithm of Tiktok is what makes me use it, while the discovery of specific content and access to longer form content is what makes me use Youtube.

Because I’d rather it be ruined quickly by low quality than ruined over the course of 3 years by a shit release schedule. I’m extremely pessimistic of the anime at this point because of how much they fucked up its ending by calling it Final Season and continuing to push “Final” more and more over 3 years.

At least PN2 was just a few episodes before I realized “oh I don’t really care about this”, rather than my disdain being pulled out of me by whatever idiot decided this was the way.

How do they compare to modern games in terms of entertainment?

I’d comfortably argue that Tetris is amongst the best games ever made.

but also the devs (even if only in scraps)

If you’re buying games that are more than 3 months old, they do not. Bonuses are given for metacritic scores and launch quarter sales. They’re never given royalties.

there’s not a whole lot of options outside of “only buy indie games” to both support developers and avoid filling the pockets of execs and investors.

What’s wrong with telling people to buy indie games and pirate anything made at the directive of blood-sucking vampires?

Remember when games were just the program on the disk and you didn’t need keys and an online connection to activate your copy?

Remember when games were just some free software on Usenet that someone made because they thought it’d be cool, and shared because they were proud of it?

You’re an asshole for paying industry execs to be vampires after you see they’ve managed to narrowly evade the enshittification of their studio.

I literally would have preferred it to be a Promised Neverland Season 2 than this release schedule.

I think the biggest mistake was naming it Final Season to be honest

This is it. They should not have named it final season. Once they named it final season, that was an expectation set, and they keep on changing the expectation in the most annoying way. I would have preferred them cram everything into a terrible final season than edging us like this for 3 years.
