First negative tho is something I remember from the article where he said he didn’t really like majora’s mask cuz the time aspect then laughed at the irony since he made Stardew.

I won’t tell you to like or dislike Stardew Valley, as that’s your choice alone. Now that’s said, I profoundry disagree with this assertion that ConcernedApe is a hypocrite. In Majora’s Mask you’re stuck in a time loop where you have to complete the entire game within the limit. That is far from the case with Stardew. You aren’t expected to complete much in a day, maybe a single task per day in the early game.

As for people accusing others of gaslighting, that’s wrong. The game doesn’t really open up until you get through the first season. Sure, you’re free to drop the game before that, but you then miss the parts that people love about the game. I don’t think it’s fair to call the gameplay loop poorly designed when you haven’t even seen half of it.

That being said, a season in game is about 10 hours of play time. Though I personally think the onboarding process is fairly good, it would be valid to argue that 10 hours is too much of a commitment to find out whether you like the game or not. I don’t personally think that for SDV, but I can respect it

regulation establishes that women have the right to a different amount of postnatal days off than men

Don’t a number of European countries (Germany, France, etc.) Require the same number of parental leave days between sexes?

reverse net neutrality

Hate to break it to you, that was already ruined in the Obama administration

Especially if they try to ban porn as outlined in Project 2025

Especially since Windows 10 starts retirement in a year, and a lot of PC’s aren’t compatible with Windows 11

So… Voltorb

Don’t forget how they added anti-cheat to customers’ purchases after sale

So you’re saying Worshippers of Cthulu is a ripoff of… Worshippers of Cthulu?

Fucking Embracer. They’re a cancer on the industry

Hope they don’t go down the enshittification rabbit hole anytime soon.

Apparently they’re transitioning to a non-profit business model

Got back into armor to fight with swords for the first time since Pennsic. Plus I got to try out my new helmet.

And nothing of value was lost

We… Could have been the ones in pokeballs?

Just look at Palworld

Jokes aside, I recall hearing that humans are actually canonnically aliens and completely separate from Pokemon

You clearly don’t understand the joke

I think they may be making a joke about how flimsy Nintendo’s patent case is, since the alleged patent was filed this past July

Proton

Same. I thought it was so dumb

GOG

Didn’t Webtoon pressure one of their authors so much that the stress caused her to have a miscarriage?
