And… all the Nintendo Adults have made it clear over the decades that “Corporations aren’t your friends. Except for the one with Mario. #StandUpForNintendo”
I must be in a hell of a bubble but the stereotypes I’m familiar with are as follows:
“Nobody hates Nintendo more than Nintendo fans” and
“Nobody hates Nintendo fans more than Nintendo.”
They make it impossible to enjoy damn near any of their older games without piracy. Their hardware is objectively worse performing than other consoles of the time. And they price gouge like a mfer.
I still play my Switch and my old 3DS but I’m doing my damnedest not to give them another cent directly if I can help it.
The people I’ve known who speak like this are decidedly not furries.
This reads like terminally online technically-conservative-but-not-full-nazi edgelord. The type who hates the government and is very pro 2A/anti-welfare but gets an itchy finger at KKK rhetoric and would have joined the Union in the (first) Civil War. Also strangely typically in high favor of bodily autonomy because “that’s not my or the government’s fucking business.”
It’s a weird middle ground but they do exist. Typically under 30 or over 50, relatively asocial white men.
Not just sex; dancing, music, poetry, novels, games, decorations. Anything which takes joy in life and expression is forbidden.
Suffering while alive is seen as the proper punishment for being born human - seeing people and nature as beautiful and divine is legitimately blasphemy to these people.
It’s going to come down to anything with even a whisper of LGBTQ+/minority/disability/etc representation, just like with books.
They start with the “egregious” content (not that it’s necessarily right to remove that either), then narrow it down until it shapes up into hegemonic conformity and systemic oppression via media (there’s a term for it, kind of like stochastic violence but not quite that I can’t remember atm).
The compilation was released on September 18, 2020, and was available until March 31, 2021, when it was discontinued and removed from the Nintendo eShop.
Looks like it was on the eshop for a whopping six months. I think that makes it worse to be honest.
TBF, even if they’re a shit company to their consumers it’s kind of funny for them to point out they still make boatloads of money while keeping employees since it makes others look bad.
“Efficiency” is smoke-blowing bull for the sake of putting a few more pennies in shareholder stocks. Stable profits are far more sustainable and better for the real economy (where real people spend real money) than infinite growth since having a regular paycheck allows people to continue buying things.
This is pure poetry. Brought a very literal tear to my eye.
Now that I can breathe again, yes absolutely this should 110% be standard QoL for next-gen RPGs. Hopefully.
I finished The Outer Worlds looking like a psycho in mismatched mascot hats and boots, rapid-switching in my inventory depending on the skill buff I needed for each dialogue check.
