Am I the only one who loves driving between tracks? It’s the most unique and fresh thing about this Mario Kart and changing / removing it out of the game would make it feel like every other Mario Kart to me.

The original game was on Sega Saturn in Japan and very uncensored

I love Bullet Witch and I’m still looking for a physical copy of this and Ninja Blade on Xbox 360.

And I’ve watched the things you’re talking about be used to propose legislation against free speech, and the path you want to take is more slippery than the slipperiest slope imaginable.

Censorship gains traction under the guise of reasonable sounding proposals and always leads to misuse. I have no doubt you have good intentions at heart, but I super promise other people don’t and they will use any legislation available as a way to curtail dissent, treason, and sedition.

I promise we’re better off with havens for free speech.

You are the only one talking about Nazis and Porn. Your argument reeks of strawman, attacking the concept for something it isn’t even.

You know who it does protect? Minorities, freedom fighters, people trying to get in and out of bad situations with fascist governments and restrictions on what they can say and who they can speak out against.

People like you, you specifically, you are exactly the problem.

Your comment is so mired in ignorance, to think you would oppose free speech over how it would be abused and ignore the net positive is exactly how we’re losing freedoms each and every day.

People like you are ruining the world while telling people you’re fixing it.

Who the fuck said anything about porn of any kind? People always use protecting kids as a way to censor the Internet and it’s almost always in bad faith.

Honestly at this point I want to host a distributed Lemmy instance and completely ignore all country laws in favor of complete and absolute freedom of speech.

It might sound extreme, but pretty sure at this point I’d be willing to die for it given the state of global politics.

Yes, I have hear this much

I say PSQL as Pee Sequel

This has always been the case.

Where we’re going we don’t need facts

I’m sorry but literally no. There are exactly 3 Dark Souls games, the first came out 14 years ago. Demon’s Souls, Bloodborne, Elden Ring, and maybe Sekiro can be considered Soulslike, but your comment reeks of naivety.

They’re all individually some of the most mechanically unique games, with a ton of variety between each other. It’s not even remotely the same as a FIFA, Madden, or Call or Duty level of cut / paste.

OMG same, yes!

This comes from review guides, so yeah, they are literally sent by the company with a set of talking points and things to mention.

I was working in the industry at the time and people absolutely talked about the implications of microtransactions and how it would result in more expensive games and being nickel and dimed.

Like, I distinctly remember conversations with actual human beings from exactly the horse armor DLC and maybe we didn’t think it was going to result in, say the online shooter battle pass formula exactly, but we without ambiguity understood that meaningful in game items, and things like levels / experience would be monetized.

The biggest shocks to me were how patches would be used to reduce the game testing cycles, enabling companies to print incomplete or broken versions of games, requiring day one patches.

It’s a disgusting practice now, and it was then too.

I always hated the ribbon context menu system. It ruins the way I learn watch involves where something is just as much as what it’s called, kinda like remember where on a physical page something is even if you don’t remember the page.

Static, nested menus are superior.

That’s just his home address

I agree, but I think all intellectual property laws should be repealed. I came to the conclusion that patent, copyright, and trademark are all varying levels of bad years ago and I think it clearly holds the human race and human progress back by limiting creative iteration.

Nintendo doesn’t have a legal right to go after NES clones in the States because the patent on the NES expired and anyone is legally allowed to make perfect duplicates of NES hardware.

The only legal ground Nintendo has is software copyright for games they published and / or licensed ( probably just published )
