  • Meme aside, I feel like this is an overall positive thing, finding a character you relate to at that level seems more likely to help people struggling in the long run, especially if it’s handled tactfully and not romanticised. Even if it’s a tragic or unfortunate character, it can still be something that unifies fans, gets them talking, and that can lead to seeking help or feeling better.




  • In this case it’s a specific person that has repeatedly streamed games before their release dates, meaning he’s obtaining the games early illegally and actively encouraging other people to do the same. He makes how-tos specifically with the intention of getting more people to pirate games before they release. He’s attached his real name and face to everything so it’s no surprise Nintendo probably intends to come down harder on him than that Bowser guy they reamed a while ago.

    This jackass is precisely why we can’t have nice things, he’s justifying all of the bullshit reasons these companies are against things like emulation.


  • what you’re against is piracy.

    piracy of current gen games is what you’re against. As a consumer I should have the right to purchase a game (software) and do whatever the fuck I want with it, if I want to emulate Tears of the Kingdom because it runs and looks better on my computer than on my switch I should be allowed to do so. I purchased the console and the game, they’ve received my business, they should no longer have a say with what I do with my stuff.

    Nintendo themselves use emulators for their products, there is nothing inherently wrong with emulation.
