I haven’t really dived deep on this but my gut feeling is because they linked to the erotic games. I looked into this a bit in the past, but I may be getting it mixed up with Google’s policies on Docs now that I’m thinking of it, but maybe they have similar policies. The gist was that they weren’t as concerned with hosting legal artistic erotic content as they were linking to it. Like they didn’t want their platform to be used in a way to sort of advertise porn. I’m actually pretty sure I’m thinking of Google Docs though. I was looking for a way to publish erotic stories and considered GitHub Pages as well as Google Docs so it sort of blends together.

You can still have mirrors of your stuff on GitHub and push there, just have your primary forge be a different place.

Rare Fossil win

In theory you could make a bot that stores all of those things within git periodically. Maybe do something with git notes https://git-scm.com/docs/git-notes

Has there been any console pair besides Gameboy and Gameboy color that had games released that would work on both but behave differently on each? Some carts were black and white, some worked only on GBC, but some (like most of all of the pokemon games) would still be black and white on the original but had unique color palettes on GBC.

Looks like the technical term is “Color-enhanced Game Boy Game Pak”.

The color-enhanced Game Boy Game Pak (also known as class B, dual mode, or black cartridges) improved the gameplay experience on the Game Boy Color and subsequent systems while maintaining compatibility with older monochrome devices.

These cartridges can use the full color capabilities of the Game Boy Color and subsequent systems, displaying up to 56 colors simultaneously out of a palette of 32,768 while remaining compatible with the original Game Boy where they were presented in four shades of gray. However, this compatibility comes at the expense of not being able to utilize the handheld’s increased processing speed and memory.

Compare that to GBA, which had GBA games but could also play Gameboy and Gameboy Color games. But there were no GBA games that could run on Gameboy or Gameboy Color. That weird middle ground might be why they count them together.

And they lied about it on the award application, but yes.

If you’re applying for an award that asks “were toxic ingredients used at any point while making this cake” because part of the culture of the award is not using toxic ingredients, then yeah, you need to disclose that you used toxic ingredients.

If a selling point was drastically redesigned UX I might give it a go. I hate how much the menus force you to wait in the game. Going to islands is a pain. That dumbass bird’s dialogue takes FOREVER. Letting multiple people join your island at once would be nice too. The method to buy items and clothes is so slow. Let me buy that shit more quickly. Let me craft shit more quickly. Little things like that are the worst.

Also, having more things to do in multiplayer would be good. Like some mini games or something. You can sort of make your own but it’s so minor. Running around pitfalls can only be so fun.

Another killer feature would be letting us make outdoor buildings, but I doubt they’d do something that involved.

It wasn’t pointless of me to try and help you and others know the difference between copyrights and patents. It’s a very common misconception. It wasn’t detracting from your point, either. At no point did I argue that the game companies doing this are actually morally correct and that it shouldn’t bother you that the Nemesis System is patented or that Nintendo is patenting things like capturing monsters.

I’m not a man

It’s a common misconception. It’s not a big deal. Why are you being so defensive about me correcting it?

The difference does matter. Two copyrighted games can have similar mechanics. Just look at literally any pair of games in the same genre. First person shooting isn’t patented, so anybody can make an FPS game. They patented the nemesis system. Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War are copyrighted.

Copyright infringement, trademark infringement, and patent infringement are all very different.

Patented, not copyrighted, but I think you double posted.

You mean patent. You don’t choose to copyright things or not, all media is inherently copyrighted. This comment is technically copyrighted once I hit send. It sounds like your referring to Shadow of Mordor’s/War’s Nemesis system being patented.

I remember seeing a joke once about what if Reddit added left votes and right votes with no explanation in addition to up votes and down votes.

Games that refuse to let you change the difficulty once you begin a game. More broadly, single player games that worry too much about preserving some sort of honor associated with doing well and make it annoying to play. Like rougue likes that have no save and quit for fear of people save scumming.

The thing I hate about parrying games is that there’s rarely ever any consistency about what you can and cannot parry and also never any way for you to learn if you’re parrying too early or too soon or what.

Gambling disorder is recognized by the DSM, this comment comes across as victim blaming and ableist.

My understanding is they refunded everyone who bought it.

Still dumb for them to do this, don’t mistake me.

I don’t think monetizing gambling addictions so others can play for free is a great argument.

Heaven forbid someone play your abandonware you’re not even selling.

I saw what I imagine is a tourist attraction demonstrating that it’s “true” but you can definitely see them rotate their arm in opposite directions. They unplug a sink that that carry across the equator.

I bought Anno 1800 through uPlay and, to be fair, the app is not too bad, but now that I’m on Linux idk if I’d be able to get it working again. Not that I necessarily have interest to play again.

Mario Kart 8 was previously at the fourth spot for best-selling games of all time (units sold), with the title pushing 78.02 million copies across the Wii U and Nintendo Switch. Now Red Dead Redemption 2 has taken its place, and the only games ahead of it are Wii Sports with 82.9 million units (bundled with Wii U consoles), Grand Theft Auto 5 with over 220 million units sold-in to date, and in the first spot, we have Minecraft with over 350 million sold.

Modern touch screens work well enough to not really require styluses to feel good though. So modern styluses feeling annoying isn’t as big of an issue for most uses.

The comment said why not go open source, not why not go source available though.

I’d love to see that but realistically I don’t ever see it happening.

They’ve had something for quite a while now that made it so names weren’t changed between releases so stuff would work better. I don’t remember what it’s called. Like it used to be that a new version meant figuring out everything again.

Do you mean source available or actually open source?

Damn, Preston. This one really is different.

Fortress with Friends 2

I loved it, and don’t take this as a dig because tons of games had this problem. It was one of the first games in played where environments were fully destructible. Trees? Nah. Trees are invulnerable to everything, including literal bunker buster bombs.

I think I need a band aid.

You want me to throw my shoe?

Jak and Daxter as well as Ratchet and Clank are both fun series. Jak was always weird in emulators for me, but maybe it works now.

The image being so small makes it funnier.

Leveraged buyouts are so stupid to me. “Hi, I’d like to buy this company, but since it will be my company, the company needs to have the debt, not me. So if it goes wrong, well, that’s the company’s fault, not mine.” Should be illegal.

If I’d known that I would’ve bought it years earlier.

I don’t think about that stuff. If it’s a game or movie involving killing I suspend my disbelief. It’s only annoying when they suddenly do care about it.

You know, I specifically remember the first having an awful port and they made an advertising campaign about how the second would be better for PC. Guess that’s done.
