Could be a decent moderating tool too since increasing layers of Innuendo wouldn’t be as likely to dodge a pattern seaking algoriðm as ðey would be an underpayed overworked hand sorting mod.

Mother of god if someone actually tried to push that I would run for office for the explicit purpose of killing it dead and loudly vilifying the dumbfuck who thought of it into never making anything again.

I’ve played rescue ranger a couple of times, legit one incident I intervened in was some poor bastard running for their life across the entirety of Liurnia Lake while the invader was leading an angry mob of enemies chasing them

Night and Flame got a workout that day, lemme tell y’all.

Supposedly this is how the animetuber community were able to get relief from copy strikes after TNM took a public stand against the practice when his one piece series got struck

Unfortunately that’s only gonna stop when social media companies enable country blocking for streamers to prevent their content from being shown to Japanese audiences.

I’ve been saying for a while now that the singularity isn’t going to be based in an AGI, ot will be minimizing quantum computing not just to a commercial scale, but to an implantable scale, and creating a neural “third hemisphere” implant which allows the user to basically have all the capabilities that human thought excels at over machines calculation, as well as all the capabilities of the reverse.

If we hit that point before inequality is addressed, it will lead to the classes literally becoming different species from each other, an overlord owning class that has financial access to such expanded mental capacity, and the peasant working classes that are financially shut out of the expanded career potential the implants would provide.

Not to mention the terroristic horror that could come from the implant not being solidly air gapped from the internet. Might be cool to perfectly calculate an optimal frisby toss, but it’ll be less cool if someone changed the trajectory you’re aiming along to turn the thing into a murder weapon by hitting a rando at just the right angle.

How about just classify data by the minimum security requirements you need to meet to hold a license to collect it?

I thought Whatsapp was the big family communication hotness outside the US, are they able to use that?

Also the IP aggression isn’t entirely their fault, Japanese Copyright law requires companies to be waaaaaaaay more aggro than their American counterparts.

It actually caused such a controversy on YouTube a few years ago that YouTube had to release a feature to individual creators to selectively block their videos in certain countries so that they could avoid the risk of getting copy-striked because their video aired where companies are pushed to hit everyone they can with cease and desist letters.

More accurate to say that the initial success surge has calmed down to their core audience.

That 10% or fewer depending on if it’s still shrinking will be the rock and stoners that keep this game running well into the future.

You’ll probably see a similar spike then fall off then consolidation when The Forever Winter releases. That core community revenue is probably going to be what FunDog is planning on using for future projects and to cover the maintenance costs of TFW. I mean either that or they’ll power the servers by kidnapping the playerbase and harvesting their organs and bioelectricity but it was really their own fault for not being able to get out of sight before nightfall.

Totally Not Mark has a community discussion vid from when he had to deal with this personally because of all the manga video essays he’d been doing that got copystriked.

If the executives could have just had less pay, yes, cutting someone off from their entire livelihood is theft. Especially if there wasn’t even cause like criminal behavior or inexcusable misconduct.

And I think it’s perfectly fair to just assume executives are lying about everything they say since *gestures wildly at all the everything since as far back as Smedly Butler.

That’s unlikely since they’d still be Japanese most likely

Nintendo’s especially strict content creator and fan game creator practices stem from Japanese Copyright law encouraging IP owners to be waaaaaaaay more aggressive about protecting them than in most other IP markets.

Like I’m pretty sure the concept of fair use isn’t legally recognized in Japan.

I feel like schemes like this warrant a law that you’re failing your fiduciary duty as a company owner and can be sued by any of the stakeholders for it if you can’t prove failure to at least break even is due to genuine misfortune. Not even gross incompetence, that should just get you sacked with a dunce cap on top of having the company broken off and sold to a bidder that isn’t hellbent on stripping it for parts.

That or company owners are only allowed to draw funds from the company’s profits and funds coming from anywhere else, including from layoffs and corner cutting, are seized at 150% the value stolen and the company owners involved get treated as though they had committed embezzling so long as the books can indicate that the executives and owners drew more in compensation than was recorded as profit.

Yeah because Tony Soprano definitely has the time to come break your pipes specifically over not buying some dude’s flood insurance.

That definitely checks Occam’s razer. What is your salmonella from the pasteurization mafia now too?

Tell that to all your rotted out walls and floor boards.

Shock of shocks, a company that refuses to work with a D&I consulting firm is soon found to have serious D&I problems.

Bro this is like saying there’s a conspiracy afoot because the cops “magically” showed up to arrest me just days after I shot someone in broad daylight, or that the tree “magically” only fell through your roof after you told the insurance salesman to fuck off, or that your house only flooded “magically” right after you told the plumbers you could handle the burst pipe yourself.

Hi there, you seem to be equating death threats and harassment with voting with your wallet, which is wrong and stupid and you should fucking know better.

Also, if everybody else doesn’t need to feel pandered to in order to feel good buying a game with a protag that looks like you, you being so “principled” and “vote with your wallet” about games featuring characters that look like everyone else is pretty fucking sus.

You don’t live in a bubble of no context, where this energy at defending black consumers who aren’t interested in yet another generic brunette white male dudebrotagonist with the snarky quips even Spidey and Joss Whedon would be cringing at.

Isn’t unreal kinda famous for doing a fair bit of the optimizing for itself to get those crazy visuals? How did they fumble a package that was already half done for them?
