@l0ngyap "we're not supposed to negotiate with terrorists"

Yeah, who said we were?

The reason we can't go back to the moon is the same reason AAA devs can't make good games anymore.

@xianc78 another thing to think about, depending on the way the copies were personalized, they could all contain the same hash. Perhaps the game used a different method of rearranging its own data on the fly, rather than being baked in. It would certainly be more cost effective to have it done that way. We have seen other people completely reprogram games on original hardware in real time, yet they would contain the same hash if dumped. It could store everything changed in memory, eviscerating it as it soon as it can. Maybe this functionality is even something they tried to remove but it still ends up slipping through the cracks every now and then, causing strange occurrences and anomalies...

The truth is out there.....

@xianc78 unfortunately this doesn't take into account that Nintendo could have covered up the original versions of the games, swapping them all out with ones that are patched over, the only ones left untouched being from desolate 3rd world countries that cannot even effectively communicate with us. Even stray gamma rays have been known to affect cartridges. Wear and tear over the years could affect them in ways we can't even fathom. One child's tilted cartridge is another child's lingering memories of a game he was brainwashed to forget. The Nintendo Ninjas do exist and have power beyond what we may realize, the ability to show up at people's houses just being the tip of the iceberg. The only way to truly know is to break into the Nintendo vault to uncover their true nature.

In the end, all we can really trust are the people who made the game. How much can we trust them, though, given how hard they try to erase and bury their past? So many games, so many prototypes, either lost to time or in the hands of someone who cannot release the classified software out of fear of what might be done to him.

@xianc78 sm64 could just be the biggest mass psychosis event of all time. There are people who remember it slightly differently. Breaking out of the matrix. Every copy is personalized.

@matana yeah maybe not the best comparison because we still have to pay for it but the rest of the industry is giving us beater cars and still charging the price of a Ferrari

@Boomerman @DK_Dharmaraj @Sprayfoam_Sal @sickburnbro I don't think it's that they're retarded. It's that the investors matter more than the customers. You can get a lot of free money injected into your business, more than enough to make up for loss in sales from "common folk" by running degenerate propaganda. Bud Light is a special case and basically the one time where the backlash was so extreme that it outweighed the injection.

They're still getting huge amounts of money injected which is why their stock price is relatively untouched (common pattern with ESG) but one would think that system can't last forever. It may take all of us down with it but who cares at this point.
@RustyCrab @DK_Dharmaraj @sickburnbro Marketing. They used to be "funny superbowl ad beer." Now they're "fag beer." There's no way to really break that perception because its just pisswater, there never really was anything else to it. And there's plenty more pisswater to choose from.

@mushroom_soup isn't the highest suicide rate in the US native american males, not white ones (though that is 2nd)?

@dave @theorytoe @MischievousuTomatosu @paulo @alex it could be a multi option thing where it asks if you want to see the text or if you want to see the text+media.

@nosleep the engine update is sick, big FPS improvements. I can't believe how much they continue to squeeze out of Java.

@Terry @PapaPole @MischievousuTomatosu it's not necessarily the government, a lot of the time these stores literally just never press charges. They just tell people to not come back or they'll get them arrested for trespassing. Even then, a lot of people will still just get booted back outside again unless they're being threatening. That's more what happens at big malls or cities, but in smaller places they'll usually get law enforcement involved regardless. I think it is literally a case of where it happens so often in bigger areas that they can't go after everyone, whereas in smaller towns people are actually respectful more often.

Nintendo is like an abusive step dad that still buys you a brand new Ferrari every few months.
