@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).

@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.

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.

People who are gushing over DeepSeek don't know that gpt4all exists and has completely uncensored models.

@PurpCat @KaiserKitty I swear the vast majority of them (if they are real and not paid by Microsoft) are complaining about the littlest shit. "My Bluetooth headphones didn't work", GET NORMAL, WIRED HEADPHONES YOU FUCKING SYBARITE!!!

But I'm pretty sure a huge chunk of them are Microsoft shills. Microsoft knows that they are alienating people with Windows slowly going SaaS. There is a good chance that the Linux market share might bump to 10% in the coming years. It may not be much but it's a significant dent in Microsoft's near monopoly, especially when the desktop PC has been largely phased out by smartphones. So of course, they are going to find ways to subvert it, whether that be with Drew DeVault-esque drama, spreading disinformation or negative stereotypes about Linux, or trying to EEE it by buying seats at the Linux Foundation.
