That’s the real reason.
I mean, money can improve so many things. But when you have a bunch of investors and shareholders that have stupid fucking ideas in how to tank things if it means they get out squeaky clean with money, they’ll take it.
Looking to be the modern day Gizmondo.
No.
I’d want to see a mainline Pokemon game that actually meets in the middle between experienced players and newcomers. An entry that isn’t seemingly too convoluted or stupid simple to approach, not to mention try to be interesting as a story. But I think GameFreak has long passed that point of making it interesting. Like where can you go with the story and lore after you had a generation that presented pokemon that controlled time, space, distortion while introducing what is essentially a pokemon ‘god’? You really cannot go far above and beyond that.
It’s way too small, even smaller than Lemmy, to really bother.
Here’s my problem with Reddit-alternatives - they only focus on a handful of communities. You’ll have your politics, your gaming, your technology, your news .etc
But where the hell are all of the fun ones? Reddit had micro-communities in spades, that’s what it is known for. If the alternatives aren’t trying then they aren’t trying hard enough.
The sissy billionaire slap fight continues.
If you ignore the social stigma about them about how many ways people inject their social philosophies and other mind junk into the fabric of the films. As well as not look to into things, then it’s just as Star Wars as they come except Disney-fied.
Everyone to a degree is contributing to the problems we prop up. I realize and understand that even if I stopped doing whatever I feel I’m contributing to the problem of, I’m only one person and I’m not that much of a difference maker. Okay so I stop, but what about the 999 people left that are still contributing to the problem? How long will it take them? Will they ever notice? I doubt it.
If I change for the better then good for me I guess, but just simply me stopping is not going to change the world. This has to be a group effort and until the rest of the group changes for the better, nothing will be solved.

@OP - These are the people I’m talking about.
Thanks for being a demonstrating example.
No I don’t. It’s just a dumb internet toy and I’m glad Lemmy and the Fediverse treats it like that. It used to annoy the fuck out of me with Reddit, where they tie your account to it. Too low or negative? Good luck posting anywhere or tripping the spam filter bot that thinks you’re an evader so you get banned over it.
People have this idea in their heads that the higher their karma is, the more righteous they are and that they can’t think or say wrong. When, based on experience, a lot of the time that people with high karma counts happen to be from the most insufferable bastard human beings I ever come across.
It kind of does matter. If you’re hot-swapping in and out nearly all of the time for this and that, that is considered suspicious activity. If you knew a single thing about how networking works, they can see just about anything. Where you went, the unencrypted data that is sent and received and vice versa. They may not know exactly the file you downloaded or the page specifically you’re at, but they can put two and two together if they think your activity lines up with the data it is coming from and to.
And once again, I have said, if you read at all, downloading gigs and gigs in a single day. You’re bringing up streaming which is something they’d know and expect by now, so of course it’s not going to bring attention. They also are aware that VPNs are advertised so much that they probably expect you to hop around to stream something you can’t normally.
They’re not going to directly ask you why you’re using a VPN, they’re more than likely going to ask you why are you using so much data up on X date and Y date? And then they could ask you what purpose did you have visiting this site at those dates too.
My point is about the amount of consumption you put into downloading many files, they don’t give a damn about your streaming habits since they know very well we’ve been in the age of streaming for a while now.
Kinda wish you’d be a little more detailed here.
So while everyone is telling you what to use. Let me tell you about how to behave as a pirate, least suggestively, not strictly. You need to not be a blip on the radar. Well how’s that? You don’t download gigs and gigs of data in a single day, you have to be a little more spread than that. Because even if you’re safe under VPN and everything, if an ISP thinks you’re being suspicious at any degree, they’re gonna look into it.
I make sure I don’t download more than I can chew and since I’m on a data cap of 350GB a month, it helps me enforce this. I’ve been at it for well over 25+ years so by this point, I’ve about acquired a lot of what I wanted so I’m in a little of my winding down period.
Try not to listen to the pirates that just boast about themselves and their habits, they’re doing things you don’t know about and are probably above your skill since obviously you claim to be very new at this.
Dude, get the hell out of here. Stop turning everything political.
I like to donate and purge things that I think have lost all levels of relevancy to me. If I look at something, think when the last time I’ve used it was, if I feel anything at all for it anymore and if I foresee any future use for it and base my decision on that. It has helped greatly in making my apartment look entirely manageable and not be a hoarder.
I would have to trash my apartment around to make it messy as if it was a hoarder’s place, but the most mess I ever get is maybe I forgot to grab a plate or two or maybe some things are left behind. Things that take no time at all to deal with while still maintaining a decent apartment.
I also do shadow-blocking too. If I see someone who’s going to be an antagonizing prick for no reason to someone, good reason to block just to save you the future trouble if they decide to target you. There are just a lot of people online who treat it as a hobby to go around shitting all over anything and everyone.
It’s still baffling to know that 87% of nearly all games are on the verge of or already had been forgotten because the industry operates on this mantra of “if we don’t think it’ll turn a profit, don’t bother with it and if anyone pirates it we’ll still profit through lawsuits!”. If they truly have had it their way and no opposition gets in between them, they would happily have let so many libraries die out. And then we’ll only be left with regurgitated bundles that they hand pick themselves, to release.
Your nostalgia is just simply another marketing strategy.
I do this a lot whenever I have my 5-year cycle of migrating accounts. If I have lost track of and forgotten entirely the purpose of an account I had once made and know it is not essential or required, it is gone.
Unfortunately, there are services and places out there online in which they do not allow you to delete accounts. I wish this would be a federal law of some kind because it would lessen your footprints online. It is bad practice and I automatically label them as data farms because really, what reason do you have to not allow people to delete their accounts? You’re setting people up to be collected in data breaches and therefore your data falls into the hands of someone you wouldn’t want to have it.
We’ll see if it even stand the test of time, how it takes on weather .etc
Yeah because that has gone well for ‘Terraria 2’ that the devs of that game wanted to try doing.
When you pour in so much content into the first game and do so for years, you’re already draining what could have been or would have been a sequel game.
So there’s really no point in doing a ‘2’ of either.
