Miyamoto is not the current president of Nintendo and hasn’t been for a while. These days he’s a guy who walks into your office to see what you’re doing with the characters he created 35 years ago and says “good job” or “nah, I don’t think that fits the spirit of the series”. Blaming him for corporate policy is somewhat nonsensical.

I can’t think of a single situation that would call for such a thing.

I didn’t say anything about communists. I said I missed being able to interact with people who shared my hobbies. I just want to grill talk about cartoons and video games.

Also, I was sold on Lemmy because they told me it was an user owned alternative to reddit, which was going tits up at the time. “It’s a communist website.” Is not what they told me to get me over here.

Absolutely. There’s just fuck all to do here. I used reddit for fan communities a lot, and most of them stayed behind. (Unless you’re a trekkie I guess. Then you’re set.)

comparing their shitiness with Blizzard’s is like comparing apples to oranges.

That’s… what I said.

My point is supposed to be that Lemmy acts as a though they’re the devil, when in reality they’re just the regular amount of corporate shitty. All of what you said is true, and I’m not trying to convince you it isn’t. It just feels surreal how every comment in here is the same, like it’s the same person behind every username. I get no sense of individuality here, ya know ?

Here’s the difference though: most people outside of Lemmy don’t care about Nintendo’s copyright lawsuits enough that it’s the only thing they talk about whenever they hear the name. The fact that every comment expresses the same thing is the part that feels like a hive mind. Some criticism of a large corporation is one thing, but how strongly Lemmy holds that opinion feels cultish. Blizzard’s leadership protects sex abusers and Ubisoft has had a work culture many describe as nightmarish for decades. Seeing Nintendo put on that level for something not even unique to them makes me think some of you don’t know what nuance or perspective are.

I thought the leaker saw those and decided to not reveal too many details other than they exist? There’s a sentence about it in the article.

I swear to god, the Lemmy hive mind is even more intense than their predecessor.

It’s beta builds of old games. It’s only valuable to super fans who wanted to see what could have been.

I didn’t even realize that they didn’t specify gaming companies until you pointed that out. In that case I wouldn’t even put Nintendo in the top 50.

We have not once encountered a corporate shitstain as aggressive as them.

Are you kidding? You can’t think of a single company in the modern games industry worse than Nintendo? Do EA, Ubisoft, and Activision Blizzard not exist in your reality? What did they do in your eyes that makes them worse than sex abusers and slave drivers?

Good thing happens:

Lemmy: Yeah but lawsuits am I right?

Can’t you people be happy for one goddamn second?

That cat is tripping balls.

They’re dumb, not racist. He’s wasting his vote on a third party candidate.

If you’re making your dungeons from scratch, try taking some design cues from a Zelda game. (Excluding the NES ones) In those games every room has an essential function necessary for progression, so none of your hard work will go unappreciated.

Funny. Tech bros insisted that this wouldn’t happen.

This is actually a lot of work put into a supposedly generic map.

Things are often better when the people making them give a shit.

Great art was never created for its own sake /s.
