@RatPoster @SuperDicq @graf @lichelordgodfrey @Waldbrand Such as shame. They had an excellent taste in video games.
@coolboymew I'd say that FF7 has it's own problem of transforming the pre-rendered backgrounds into fully 3D environments while still keeping the original vision.
@lichelordgodfrey @SuperDicq @graf @Waldbrand Talking about moe or zzz?
@coolboymew I don't know how you are going to re-imagine the game without pissing people off. The 3DS version had the benefit of being based off of the original game's source code. This, on the other hand, looks like those fan-made re-imaginings done in Unreal.
@icedquinn Does Cryptpad have a calendar by any chance?
@coolboymew He's hoping that Nintendo is bringing some beta content back in it. Really the only things I see coming are the bigger maps, the persistent world (assuming the Switch 2 has enough internal storage to handle it), and the remixed dungeons from Master Quest.
@Kerosene If only CHIP didn't go out of business.

Do we really have free speech? It sure doesn't seem like it when courts allow this sort of thing:
"The music publishers’ inducement theory partly relies on a handful of public statements by Elon Musk, which they argue demonstrate that X encouraged its users to infringe."
What was that ''inducement"?
Apparently at some point Elon Tweeted:
“[Truncated] DMCA Is a Plague On Humanity”
Yes- his disgust for a law is being called an act of encouragement rather than a set of words actually encouraging infringement.
BUT even if he encouraged it that should (whether or not it is or will be, and it probably won't be) be protected.
It's the right if not duty of every person to advocate against unjust laws and to disobey. You don't get to write off wrongs just because there is a law.
@SuperDicq @graf I knew a lot of people who left fedi because they thought that Poast killed the comfy and open-mindness aspect of it. Though I personally thought that an instance like Poast was inevitable given that the original 8chan died (and the drama going on with 8kun and the bunkers) and Gab pandering to boomers instead of standing on the principles of free speech. It was only a matter of time before they find the fedi.
@graf@poa.st I think most people honestly wanted to start shit because the Poast userbase were especially annoying chuds to deal with early on back when you were advertising on places like imageboards and shit. Those people have either left or mellowed out by now.
