We have Trump because America has a bunch of racist assholes who are willing to screw themselves over economically just to fuck over people of color? Yeah, that sounds right.

Yeah, you do. Cannibalism, rape, infanticide and even waging war can all be found in the animal kingdom. Male ducks have been shown to rape. Various species of fish will eat their own. We all know about female praying mantises eating their mates. Male lions will kill the cubs of rival male lions. Chimpanzees do wage…

but you don’t see animals, whose intellectual abilities are less than our own, treating each other with the kind of cruelty you will readily find in human society.

It sure is, but if you’re not specific you’re usually attacked for any reason someone can come up with.

This has little to do with age and pricing vs how Nintendo games do not go down in price, ever. Look at any used popular Nintendo game, even if it’s pretty common, it’s hard to find for any less than nearly full price, vs other platforms which go down to a few dollars.

I’ll assume you’re commenting in good faith despite your use of an awful buzzword like “identity politics,” so consider this: Lots of girls are taught that video games and game development are for men. Girls Make Games is an institution designed to teach girls that hey, they can play and make video games too, which…

Well the people worshiping trees don’t tend to threaten me with spending eternity in a boiling lake, so yeah kind of...

Haven’t you heard? They opened up the classes, so there are Social Justice Demon Hunters, Social Justice Death Knights, Social Justice Rogues, Social Justice Shamans, Social Justice Hunters, Social Justice Mages, Social Justice Priests (they’ve been around for a while now), Social Justice Warlocks, and Social Justice…

Too real to be funny.

“I would never ...” = “I didn’t realize there would be consequences for my actions.” Which is why we are seeing an uptick in racist and anti-Semitic acts; people are getting the message that they can get away with it.

I’ve been following this situation since it began, and I’m /still/ surprised at some of the insanity coming from the Romine brothers. I even listened to the audio interview they took part in... Just infuriating to listen to, honestly. Figured I couldn’t be surprised any further by the case.

I too, like to consume media, hear the buzzwords and then peace out, avoiding all the possible reasoning and context of those buzzwords.

If we want to take it out of context but be specific, he was talking about virtual console/retro games. And in actual context, he was talking about Nintendo’s lack of understanding…

Hey, someone else who never watched the whole video! Spoilers, at around 7:10 he gets to the point that he said that to point out that Nintendo shouldn’t be able to think copyright is important only when it works out for them, and then ignore it when it doesnt.

Jim Sterling did on the basis of their YouTube fair-use policy. Since they use extremely loose definitions of fair use in copyright law on YouTube videos, that supposedly makes it fair for you to use extremely loose definitions of piracy to download their games. While their copyright claim policy is pretty crappy,…

I don’t think Nintendo would flat out stop making Zelda games. They might cut down on the smaller scale projects, but to flat out stop Zelda would be a disastrous decision. Outside of Mario and Pokemon, Zelda is their other big franchise and in terms of critical reception, it has almost always been the highest one.

The guy who filed the suit can’t even get his figures straight.

No. You need to watch that video fully to understand the point he is making. You can’t cherry-pick what parts of the law you want to uphold while expecting others who are not you to fully comply with the law.

I have no idea if this guy has decent videos or not, I can never bring myself to hit play when he relies so heavily on a shtick that evokes fascist/nazi iconography.

He’s a guy that said you can’t pick and choose which parts of copyright law that should apply to you. He jokingly said that people should pirate Nintendo games to make the point that Nintendo shouldn’t ignore fair use.

Happy he won. I occasionally watch a few of his videos. He can be a bit crass but I guess every youtuber needs to have their “shtick” to draw people in.
