Woooaaa, looking cool Joker

I'm trying to make videogames but also I play fighting games sometimes and think a game about anime ninjas is cool. I want to like anime but anime tries really hard not to be liked

Until staff comes forward and gives an answer as to what is happening, all assumptions and statements on what’s going on are rumors.

There are posts from 2016 that are being shared again about NSFW. I shouldn’t have to explain that those are no longer relevant.

There is a post from 3 days ago that the current sweep is being caused by a bug. This is not known if it is still relevant.

There are rumors that this is an attempt to purge pornbots, and legit blogs are getting caught in the crossfire. This has not been confirmed.

There are assumptions, again based on statements from 3 days ago, that this is in response to a legal matter regarding the IRA. Again, this has not been confirmed.

Until staff comes forward about the current events, nothing is confirmed as of yet. If you get purged, send staff a ticket, but until we get answers no one knows what is happening.

Husband and wife ordered to pay $12m to Nintendo for running ROM sites

An Arizona couple have been ordered to pay Nintendo a whopping $12.23m (£9.5m) in damages for running a pair of sites which offered pirated ROMs. Jacob…

Today in “Nintendo is a bunch of sweaty corporatist goons who want to be Disney so fucking badly but never will be”:

Nintendo creates artificial scarcity of its products, and the medium of digital games is especially susceptible to this. They make no effort to make any significant portion of their massive catalog of previous-generation games available and accessible to the public, at best only selecting piecemeal titles here and there restarting every console generation but now seems to have abandoned even that. And they release products like the NES and SNES Classic because they know this, they know their games are in such high demand because they don’t make them available on a wide scale. And when they do make these products, guess what? They’re sold in extraordinarily limited quantities and if you don’t act fast you can only buy them from scalpers. 

To think Nintendo is doing this any of this unintentionally is just closing your eyes to the facts. It’s obvious Nintendo tries to create a mystique around their products by holding them back, just like Disney used to do with its “Disney Vault” scheme of making old movies limited time purchases. 

Is it really strange people turn to ROMs and emulators for these games? If they’re not available, what else are people supposed to do if they want to play these games? Pay exorbitant multi-hundred dollar prices to get the original versions of the game used and scrape up money to try to find a functioning old console to play them? The money isn’t even going to Nintendo at that point. This holds especially pertinent for games on systems near the middle of Nintendo’s history like the N64 and Gamecube which have seen the least distribution since their original releases. Nintendo’s paltry system of remaking a handful of titles like Wind Waker and Twilight Princess and then selling them at or near current gen full price absolutely is not enough and is more abuse of the fact they hold such a tight control over the games in their catalog. 

And even putting aside games people want to play for fun, there’s the entirely separate issue of historical preservation! Taking down massive ROM sites and forcing the people running them to pay millions of dollars they can’t afford means less and less places old games are cataloged and preserved. Not just the big titles, but every little game that came out during that time period, disposable or high quality, popular or obscure–how will we ever study our own cultural history if we do not know it? There’s a much wider discussion to be had about digital preservation in general in the internet age but Nintendo is just obliterating huge swaths of their own history for short term financial gain. 

Twelve million dollars is just a tiny drop in the bucket for the multibillion dollar multinational corporation Nintendo but will almost certainly ruin the lives of this couple who engaged in defying shortsighted capitalist greed. Please stop thinking of this company as anything other than another than another soulless ball of wealth generation for a particular elite. Nintendo clearly employs many talented and creative artists who aren’t to blame for stuff like this but that shouldn’t distract from the complete lack of morality underpinning the institution as a whole. Fuck Nintendo.

detective pikachu looks like a nightmare, literally speaking it looks like something i’d see in a nightmare about pokemon being real

and i can’t fucking wait to see it and see just how scary all of the other realistic pokemon will look. mr. mime looks horrifying. jigglypuff looks wrong and all hairy. some of the bird pokemon have realistic beaks and it looks really uncanny. the greninja has white in its eyes to match the cartoon model but it just makes it look scary since real frogs don’t have those and the greninja head is otherwise rendered so realistically. this movie is gonna be awesome and i can’t wait. it’s gonna be the Mario movie all over again.

look at this. the little hairs on his head. the horns look like blue carrots. his shoulders look like dodgeballs. the frighteningly humanoid hand inside of the glove that’s so frighteningly realistic looking that i can’t tell if it’s cgi. everything is rendered as if it actually has real-world weight and mass and it all droops under gravity appropriately. this is horrifying. they can’t have done this by accident. they know mr. mime is already terrifying and they decided to go all out. they have to be doing this on purpose and i can’t wait to see more.
