We knew this, it was brought up weeks ago.

That’s why it worked.

Consider the possibility that you don’t need to be doing anything wrong besides existing to be persecuted by a fascist regime.

Nintendo patents almost every mechanic they deem noteworthy, even if they amount to a bunch of gimmicky minigames or interactions. The sanity system, as it currently exists, is very rudimentary and overstays its welcome quickly, I’d argue making something substantially better was always on the table, and that alone would’ve bypassed the patent, so long is not literally the same code or instructions I guess.

Outside of the very specific cases of Palworld and WB’s notorious Nemesis System, you probably can just ignore the patents and do whatever you want, many of these are filed for self protection rather than to enforce them.

Metroid Zero Mission’s Mother Brain fight is patented, it literally is about shooting the player when they make line of sight with the Brain eye, besides being utterly ridiculous to have something like this patented, you don’t see anyone going to court over this.

“We’ve updated this article to note that Nintendo has made similar disclaimers with its previous retro controllers, which have ended up working with other Switch games. While this is no confirmation that the same will be the case with the GameCube controller, it does at least provide some hope that it won’t be as locked-off as Nintendo says.”

Well at least they got their clicks.

Silk… Song? Now that’s a name I haven’t heard since…

You couldn’t make satire of this because it’d be too on the nose.

Give those Fission 'troids a healthy dose of Power Bombing, you won’t be needing them until the very last fifth of Core Prime health.

The reveal trailer has almost 20 million views BTW.

Nintendo might struggle with a percentage of the hard-core gaming community for those reasons, but the general public does not care about (or is aware of) any of those things. Little Timmy and his parents have no fucking clue what a Yuzu is.

Sir, there was an error in the submitting form, quickly, send 5 iTunes gift card’s worth $100 United State Dollar for line to go up!

YouTube tried to crack down on clickbait, what happened next will shock you!

For his next stream, dude’s gonna rat out the location of every drug dealer around his house.

Is this why she went with Gomez instead?

I cannot believe it!!!

Looks more like the number of cars will stay the same-ish, but now there won’t be a taxi driver making a living of it.

researchers found that in the wake of the arrest of Telegram founder Pavel Durov and charges against leaders of the so-called Terrorgram Collective, dozens of extremist groups have moved to the app SimpleX Chat in recent weeks over fears that Telegram’s privacy policies expose them to being arrested.”

Promoting a patreon, shilling for NFTs in their welcome video, and being kinda smug about the project in the comment section. I don’t know chief…

Their “methodology” blurb has so many buzzwords that I’m inclined to agree.
