I remember a video of SomeOrdinaryGamers talking about a case where a company (I think it was Nintendo) was arguing that making a copy of games you own yourself should be illegal. The whole case was just that. Probably something from the last 4 months or so.
Anyway, regarding 124, a judge with a working brain would say "There’s nothing here stating that it was Yuzu who allowed, or facilitated, anyone to obtain said reproductions."
The copies were not obtained through Yuzu. Yuzu is not a site where the roms are, or even links to any of them. Sure, it exists solely to emulate nintendo’s current hardware, but that’s not the problem.
Sigh. If only law and justice worked based on factual evidence and logic, instead of interpretative contortionism…
Not the same thing. Abusing rules (or code bugs) is “cheating legally”. You can also make a spell that does Soul Trap to self + fortify attribute and said attribute will be permanently fortified.
2 billion. It’s too late. You’re addicted. Sunk cost fallacy has kicked in.
I think the Sunk cost kicked in by the time you chose to spend money to get those 200 mil, since you were “already a third of the way” and “worked so hard already”
I’ll have to check that out. An indie game in a very similar vein is Evochron Legends. It’s available on Steam, too. I have a couple of hours in it, but it’s been a while since I last checked it.
I mean, if Josh from Let’s Game it Out fucked around nonstop in almost every possible way and still “solved” a case, I doubt you could be playing the game wrong 😆
I think the problem is that the old Sonic games are kinda contradictory. “Gotta go fast”, but you’re punished if you don’t know the whole level layout. It promises speed, but it fills levels with so many speedbumps that end up making the game feel hella slow. Plus, water levels. Fucking water levels in Sonic are the worst.
Dota and League of Legends. The moba format simply doesn’t click with me. Them being hyper competitive doesn’t help, and I’m someone who played plenty of UT2004 during my late teens
Unciv for Android. It’s basically Civilization 5, but FOSS.
Shoutout to Iji, too. Amazing soundtrack and lots of replayability. It’s an old game by now, but it’s also free. Sidescrolling platformer, killing is optional.
Assault Android Cactus. Dunno how well known the game is, but it’s one of the best twin stick shooters/bullet hell I’ve played, with the android girls full of charm.
The funniest thing is how many people are taking the game setting way, way too seriously. “OMG YOU ENSLAVE CUTE CRITTERS AND MAKE THEM WORK!!!111” - Like that hasn’t been a thing in Pokemon since Green/Blue. Remember Lt. Surge, “fighting the war” with pokemon? Or the first episode of the anime, with a bunch of pikachu generating electricity for the pokecenter? Every mainline game has shown pokemon being used as workforce in one way or another, in Vermillion City there’s even a house being built with Machoke doing all the heavy lifting.
Regarding Palworld proper, I’ve been enjoying this game a lot. It scratched some itches I didn’t even know I had. Might last me a number of weeks yet, then I can wait for future updates while feeling duly sated.
