@Zergling_man wdym? nintendo doesn't like emulators but they've done nothing from a legal standpoint to get rid of them. the most they have done is likely twist valve's arm into not allowing dolphin on their storefront.

i will be eating all of my physical switch cartridges in solidarity

Well, Nintendo has gone full mask off. Guess I won't be purchasing Princess Peach Showtime after all, you dumbasses.

"For good measure, Nintendo also complained about Yuzu spoiling Tears of the Kingdom, saying that because of the prevalance of emulators, "many fans of The Legend of Zelda were forced to avoid social media to prevent seeing spoilers and preserve their surprise and delight for the actual game release."

People could have just as easily used their hacked Switches to do this. Yuzu has no bearing on whether or not TotK footage would be leaked.

FUCK NINTENDO 🏴☠️ They have been on a spree of shitting on people over the past year.

There's no way they win this case, right? Sony has tried and failed TWICE. The goal is not to win the case though, the goal is to do monetary damage and send a message to everyone working on emulators that they are willing to do monetary damage even if they lose a case. Which just goes to show how broken the legal system is as well.

@MoeBritannica crazy how they probably spent more effort and money on the stupid tv show than the actual game

not that it would have turned out good anyway, live service and all

@matrix :gigaChad:

@xianc78 yeah, i like that name. sounds kinda cool. doesn't really roll off the tongue when you say it out loud, but that's not a huge issue i guess.

i personally don't see why indie games have to correlate with being commercialized tho.

@xianc78 it's at that point that i'm more like.... go put your game on itch instead then xD

i think you could totally have like a trump parody game without it falling into "activism." you could even do allegorical stuff.

but when it comes to someone, for instance, making a mod for BLM or AF, or showing support for a presidential candidate, or games tied to organizations such as PETA, then i think THAT ought to be classified as activism. not just random politics, but activism specifically. and no taking sides on that front, either.

also, as far as a name for the site goes, this is a little cheesy but how about "yourgame?" this has several meanings:

1) you purchased a game, it's your game, you should get to decide what you do with it (modding)

2) you are exercising your right to share your ideas, your game, without fearing that it will be taken down

3) your preferences for how you game, alluding to the filter features

idk, probably a prototype name there but i just thought of how youtube was originally, a tube for you. a tube for the people without the suits deciding what you can and can't upload pretty arbitrarily.

@xianc78 Not too bad actually! I still think maybe "Activism" could be a good one to add here as well. Maybe LGBT would be better off as a user-added tag that you can mute or something, since I guess theoretically your game could feature a gay character and not necessarily be activist.

but i like this as a starting point for sure.

as far as furry goes, i can potentially see people not wanting to see furshit whatsoever, not just in a sexual way. i wonder if there is a good way to separate those two concepts in the same way as something like LGBT and Activism, like an "18+ furry" filter and a "furry" tag.

@xianc78 like i said, i'd want it to be a site everyone can use. i'd mark "LGBT" as an opt-in filter, as well as "political activism." but making it a "woke" filter is cringe... obviously nobody would upload stuff like that and it'll turn into a right-wing extremist echo chamber like everything else does online when it comes to free platforms, which is what i would ideally like to avoid.

during account setup, you could display a list of those filters and ask which ones the user wants to see, then mention they can change it at any time in their user settings.

i think an independent game or account mute feature would be great too, considering that not every filter is going to be extremely verbose. someone who opts in to the loli and gore filters might not necessarily want to see both together, so that one game that keeps popping up on their feed that features both they can have the chance to just mute and forget about.

@ninja8tyu when i was in preschool i wet my pants and my teacher flushed my underwear down the toilet then blamed it on me
