Usually what some localizers do is change it to German or French instead.

Thanks, sounds very handy

Ironically just yesterday I needed Google Cache because a page I needed to read was down and I couldn’t find the option anymore.

Are we going to need to go back to personal web crawlers to back-up information we need? I hate today’s internet.

Pokémon can’t even shake up enough to figure out what to do with an open world. They took away puzzles and mazes and replaced them with… nothing. Never seen a more boring open world than Scarlet/Violet. No events or minigames, nothing to discover along the way, only bland scenery and low draw distance creatures.

I doubt a no name company would be pulling all this attention out of marketing alone. If it was this easy everyone would do it.

In all fairness, this is not a great game. It’s a very derivative game whose only appeal is that it combines things in a way that hasn’t been done much. Like many other hype trains of questionable quality, it just happened to scratch the right itch for the right people at the right time.

For the average user, might as well. Most people don’t use PCs in casual settings and most Android phones come with Facebook preinstalled.

Real broke or investor “broke”? That is, “it isn’t wildly surpassing the level of profits it makes every year”.

So, regular microtransactions?

Prepare for D&D Beyond with class and gear lootboxes

They gotta do it better than the OC creator then

Bold to assume. After making a human girl kiss Sonic, and having him freed from years of torture only to become an OC’s best friend, they aren’t upticking anything.

A lot of people on the internet don’t realize how much content is plain copyright infringement that simply doesn’t get pursued. Memes, fanart, edits, covers, so forth.

Personally I think that should be reason to rethink how IP law is written, if the average person doesn’t find so many uses infringing and they have become part of the typical cultural habits. But that hasn’t happened.

A lot of technology is expensive when it’s first introduced and it has not reached mass market yet. Bigger TVs were already gaining popularity before Smart TVs. Getting cutting-edge display tech from a couple decades ago ain’t all that.

Nah, this stuff is not nearly cheap enough to justify all the spyware and ads.

Cheap? I must have missed that part.

I was going to say Iji. Such an amazing game, it’s like the 2D version of an immersive sim. I wish there was a remake only so the dev could make the money they rightfully deserve.

Bent and crushed floppies were less of a problem than simple failures of reading and writing them, which in my memory happened much more often than they do to USB drives now. I don’t see people breaking usb sticks in half that often either.

I remember using floppies and they broke a lot. Probably more than USB drives

Shit that’s made up based on someone else affects the person who’s it based on. This is a basic concept that you are sure to have seen if you have a minimum of real world experience. It’s not even like you could pass deepfake as parody, when the point is making it seem real. Not everyone will be able to know it’s not real, and it will still be humilliating regardless. Pretending it’s so easy to be unaffected by lies and harassment is hollow grandstanding. I can only assume nothing of the sort ever happened to you for you to act so nonchalant about it.

This isn’t even about me, but you can’t get yourself to think of anyone else, can you?

Why would it even matter to “prove deepfake is possible”? It’s not any less humilliating for the person, and it’s not any less of a PR issue for any business. Hoaxes can cause about as much harm as real compromising information, if they are spread far enough.

Every single insult you add I’m more convinced you just don’t care about people beyond your ability to whack off for whoever you feel like.

So you choose that the way to make them pay is to inflict deepfake porn upon them? Sounds like you can see how that can hurt just fine.

Meanwhile, what about someone who got deepfake porn without even get involved in the situation and got fired for it? They could very well say that the AI guy decided getting their rocks off mattered more than their dignity or eating.
