I love how for years now that console gamers always bring up how they still get physical games while PC gamers only get digital releases now, which is untrue as indie games occasionally get physical releases on PC. Now, PlayStation is going digital only, PC gamers can actually make that argument, even if it's just indie games. As long as computers have some form of removable storage, physical releases will always be possible even if it's very niche.

Also, the whole physical vs digital debate has always seemed like a false dichotomy to me. People say that you always own your copy if it's physical and you never own it if it's digital, but that is entirely untrue. I own all my MP3 files on my MP3 player and no company can take those away from me. I can back them up on multiple devices. And physical media can have DRM and revocable licenses where you can lose ownership at anytime. The real argument should be whether or not the medium in question has DRM, not whether it is physical or digital.

Another day, another instance of tech company/organization/individual supporting <political party/cause that is not far-left>, we need to cancel them.

No. The real difference is that the mathematician has an actual job and provides meaningful work, while the poet just gets high and writes a bunch of word salad.

Fuck poetry.

@icedquinn Does Cryptpad have a calendar by any chance?

@icedquinn He doesn't forgive Stallman for things he allegedly said before Drew was even born and has later denounced, so it's a taste of his own medicine.

@beardalaxy @smugumin Hopefully, there is still a portion of the userbase that prefers forums and would create an unofficial successor.

@SuperDicq @lina @9to5Mac @PurpCat @Pi_rat Let's see here. You are going to have one side tell them to say TND and the other side scolding them for not putting descriptive enough alt-text on their art.

@SuperDicq @hj @ube @Phobos @nicole To be fair, the original Vim still has Ukrainian flags on their website too.

@ube @Phobos @nicole @SuperDicq @hj I don't think Drew is doing these things out of moral principles. Most likely, he is just very narcissistic, and is using woke leftism as a cover.

Even before he started his blog and the projects he was known for, he was very infamous on calculator forums for hijacking communities and demanding that they cater to his narrow worldview. On Omnimaga, the forum he was most active on, he demanded that a MLP thread that he didn't have to participate in be locked and threatened to leave if it wasn't. He used the exact same tactic he uses now by pretending that everyone else shares the exact same opinion as him. Eventually, he got promoted to moderator status on the forum, only because of his programming skills and nothing else, and then abused his privilege by shutting down their IRC channel because he couldn't win an argument against someone, and deleting threads about projects he didn't liked.

This was all back in 2011 (pre-culture war). He acted the exact same way he does know, just without the politics (though he did try to push "Enlightened Atheism" down everyone's throat).

@SuperDicq @hj @ube @Phobos @protos @nicole Suckless devs have been labeled "fascist" recently. I bet Drew avoids them like the plague.

@SuperDicq @hj @ube @Phobos @nicole The people who deserve the KiwiFarms treatment are the ones who do actual harm and cause problems to communities. People Drew DeVault and XKeeper 100% deserve the KF treatment for cancelling people and subverting projects or in XKeeper's case preventing entire IP ranges from viewing a wiki because one user in said range visited a website they didn't like.

Other than that, I do not care about what some e-celeb may have posted 10+ years ago.

@beardalaxy
>I think OoT remake is a given
I hope not. Both OOT and SF64 already have 3DS remakes that can easily be ported over (albeit without the 2nd screen or stereoscopic 3D of course).

>perhaps even what is next for Smash Bros.

I think that's way too early, I think Sakurai needs to find a way to move Smash in a different direction since topping Ultimate is out of the question. I think they'll pull a Mario Kart Word and change the gameplay (maybe having the stages be fully 3D planes), but I bet it's still in the planning stages given that Air Riders was only released last year.

So virtually every video game released after the SNES is potentially infringing copyright in some way due to the legal gray area of soundfonts.

To add insult to injury, check out this comment of the same video:

>THE CANCER THAT KILLED FEDI
Wouldn't that be Poast?

@djsumdog @CursedSilicon Microsoft is literally an example of a monopoly created with the help of the government (IP laws).

@Hephaestic @mr_penguin I just don't like how politicians are using this game as an example on why we need to lockdown the Internet to protect the children.

Throughout the history of online games directed towards kids (Habbo, Club Penguin, Millsberry, Neopets, etc), all of the sudden, this is a problem and we need to introduce age verification. I've played some of those games growing up, and even knew kids who played those as well, and stories about pedos on them only happened once in a blue moon. Normally, it was some kid who didn't learn the lesson of not giving personal info to strangers online or just not talk to strangers online, period.

@djsumdog It would probably be that mouse girl from Touhou.

@cjd If that ever happens it would be fake. James Corbett has done extensive research showing that the US/China rivalry (and the NATO/BRICS rivalry as a whole) is fake and both countries/alliances support the exact same agendas.

@mr_penguin Rental shops may be gone, but you can still find used game stores and they often sell second hand movies and music too, so you still have that as a secondary source.
