@bonifartius Mario works because the stories are simple and are completely isolated from any timeline. The can theoretically go on forever.

Though in terms of beloved and well known series, a lot of them either ended willingly or were just cut short due to time or financial constraints. One would argue that they would've lost their charm if they went on forever.

@rher I'm tired of people posting the word. That's all. I have nothing against them in general.

I hate, that even after so many years, the list of "lies and deformations caused by the school system" still keeps on growing.

@beardalaxy I think one of the Starmen.net people actually went to Japan and saw Itoi himself, and he openly gave approval to the fan translation. Nintendo doesn't care because they don't actually own the Mother series. Itoi still owns the entire Mother IP.

I completely understand why NoA doesn't want to localize it. That game is full of implied sociopolitical commentary that may be alienating and seemingly contradictory to Nintendo's perceived values. Not to mention the drag-queen like characters who were openly stated to be based off of Itoi's LGBT friends.

Westerners also don't realize that Mother 3's reception was actually lukewarm in Japan. Not only did it ditch the modern setting that the first two games were known for, it also had an implied message that it was evil (though Itoi openly said that it's all up to interpretation).

@druid individualism is great, hence why i had to distinguish it from (at least) the usa's superficial treatment of it. it's the kind of trap that makes people think they don't have to work together to get shit done and build functional orgs and communities

@Mr_NutterButter At that point AI will start to feed off its own generated content, causing the output to worsen in quality. This is known as "model collapse" and nobody knows how to fix it. So AI generated content and new human generated content need to find a way to coexist otherwise AI will degrade in quality.

@codrus @mr_penguin Apparently, Facebook is banning any discussions about Linux, including blacklisting links to DistroWatch.

This is a very important message! If you have not posted a message on Facebook yet that includes the word 'linux' it is essential that you do so immediately. Then come back to mastodon and tell us about your experience.

Note: If you don't have a Facebook account DO NOT SIGN UP!

So it turns out that Mother 3 did get released outside of Japan, just only in Hong Kong and Taiwan on NSO.

@gabriel AI models will naturally feed off each other, whether it's intentional or not.

@icedquinn What is this Rattata company about? What do they make.

@Aether Even if it wasn't intentional, it is bound to happen anyway. As more people post AI generated content, AI models will use said content.
