No but I’m sure i had logged into that one to find it a try. I remember thst name

Mine was called riftsmud

My old MUD

You arent wrong and they have every right to use emulation themselves as the legal owners of their products.

The hypocrisy, as i see it, is that they have in the past painted emulation as bad. Fullstop. So for them to have had that opinion, then use it themselves is where they come into being called out for it. Hence the rules for thee but not for me phrase.

And its not a perfect fit which is why i said “more of a” if that helps explain how i intended to mean it

The inconsitency is in their past words vs actions especially where going after emulators is concerned.

Thats all i was getting at hope that helps

people like myself never see it

Totally wrong my guy. I do see what you mean, but im claiming to be an exception to the case you have laid out.

Their actions are more important than their words which is why i made my point. Im well aware of nintendos history with going after emulation. They almost rival the mouse

For the record im not defending Nintendo here, i just apprciate honesty and accuracy. Otherwise its just slander and misinformation which we have way too much of.

That’s not at all Nintendo’s philosophy.

They literally included emulation starting with the wii

So it is more of a rules for thee but not for me situation. Not you should never ever do it but you should only do it on our hardware with our emulators

His?

There IS a difference between reality and fantasy. We see it all the time.

There is an actual fetish for consesual non consent aka rape fantasy/roleplay. If we allow that people routinely engage in fake rape, then why are you surprised if anything else is sexualized. People are weird.

But is it not just as disturbing to you when people glorify violence and gore such as the Saw franchise?

I do not understand the attraction to these things either, but I dont think its healthy to pretend that reality and fantasy cant be separated.

You didn’t have a good experience with it, many of us did have some food experiences with it.

But it made going out on the Internet interesting. Today I’m not sure if its less or more risky to view a sketchy site, is it more risky now with ransom ware, data scraypers, and such.

Ide consider viruses to be less of a risk today, but my results probably vary

My experience was that those webrings often worth checking out if you didnt have something specific you were looking for today.

Its not the same at all, but theres a sense of my experience when i suddenly realize im on wikipedia and have opened 50+ tabs after I’ve finished what i was reading. Then just going through the tabs you have open

I wish also that THAT search engine also made it so turning on results that have paywalls is a thing you can only have turned on if YOU turn it on

Wow i got hit right in the nostalgies thinking about StumbleUpon

… you could just put your card on the back of the phone too

Thing is, change is hard, doubly so in the consensus driven world of Linux/FOSS.

… So if im reading this right

Move fast and break things

Move slow and fix things?

Now compare that narrative experience the Super Mario Bros.

Im sure it’s been done, but i would love to see interpretations of a First Time User Experience of OG mario if it came out today.

I cant tell you how many games ive just noped out of because i just want to actually play the game and not read or listen to either dialogue or forced tutorial railroading for 20+minutes (even 5 minutes of NOT being in control of what im doing is annoying) when you start a new game.

Even character creation can impede just wanting to get started. Let me come back later, or engage with that as i PLAY the game. Injecting extensive dialogue or forced interactive tutorial should be a reward or a much appreciated rest from the action, not a burden i must bare.

Not every game needs to be story rich to be fun, thank you vampire survivors

You didnt just remind me i have some new edibles to try out at alll

Its almost like none of you remember microsoft in the dot com era.

Did no one just intuitely understand this was going to be a consequence of aquiring blizzard-activision?

In other news trees of green

TWS?

Rimworld (Survival. Very quirky, choose your own survival adventure)

Hades. (Made me feel like i was renting video games for the snes and trying to play it all weekend long)

Backpack Hero. (Indie game, bit of tetrising needed, loot adventure with a decent turn based combat for what it is)

Dead Cells. (Lot of humour packed into a metroidvania platformer. Roguelite gives it a lot of replayability. Reminds me of Hades but sidescrolling goodness)

Valheim (Viking survival game. They specifically wanted to go low poly and get the feel of something like OG Tombraider)
