I still think if copyright laws weren’t so oppressive, 50 years would be fair (And still a huge improvement from the current situation).

Maybe have it in tiers or something? First 10 years: full copyright - until 30: similar products allowed, but no blatant reproduction - until 50: reproduction allowed as long as it’s not for-profit - post 50: public domain?

If we’re talking PvP, battling has constantly evolved through new abilities, even without gimmicks the way the game is played changed a lot through the years.

In single player they also changed a lot of stuff since gen 4, although the positive changes were mostly in gen 5/6 and the later ones like wild areas and the switch to “””open world””” were… not as well received.

However Pokemon came out in 96, that’s 28 years. There’s been very little innovation in their games since.

First, not really, there’s been a LOT of innovation in Pokémon, as much as people want to deny it.

And second, 28 years is really not that much. We’re not in the Disney realm of copyright-hogging, I think 50 years is a fair amount of time. The issue is that it’s often way too broad: it should protect only extremely blatant copies (i.e. the guy who literally rereleased Pokémon Yellow as a mobile game), not concepts or general mechanics. Palworld has a completely different gameplay from any Pokémon game so far, and (most of) the creatures are distinct enough. That should suffice to make it rightfully exist (maybe removing the 4/5 Pals that are absolute ripoffs, sure).

It’s the studio Nintendo chose as lead developer for BDSP.

I can’t think of a single first-party Nintendo game that’s released riddled with bugs in recent memory

Literally Pokémon. SwSh, SV and BDSP are all a bug-ridden mess. You will probably find more bugs playing SV for an hour than in all gen 3-6 games together.

Although yeah, it’s a (huge) anomaly and the rest of the first-party games are extremely polished. It just sucks to be a Pokémon fan in the 2020s.

Is this what they call “Crowfunding”?

Whoa, of course he tried to spin it as a win, but it’s still impressive that they forced him to admit he doesn’t want to debate Harris again.

His fans will probably believe his “version” of why he doesn’t want to, but for everyone else it’s pretty clear and that’s what counts.

Where? In the article I see

“Are we going to do a rematch? I just don’t know,” he told reporters Wednesday afternoon. “We’ll think about it.”

His comments suggest he is not altogether serious about a sequel. In a morning phone call to the co-hosts of “Fox & Friends,” he said, “when you win the debate, I don’t, I don’t know that I want to do another debate.”

“I wouldn’t want to have Bret and Martha,” he said, before proposing Sean Hannity, Jesse Watters or Laura Ingraham instead.

Trump told reporters Wednesday afternoon that he would theoretically show up for a debate hosted by either NBC or Fox, but first “we have to determine whether or not we even want to do it.”

“Obviously, he likes these debates and he’s good at them, so I wouldn’t be surprised if he wants to step back in the ring, but I also wouldn’t be surprised if he doesn’t. It’s his choice,” Vance told Fox News.

Which definitely shows insecurity, but nothing definite (unfortunately).

The lesson in question, for anyone interested

Ouro Kronii from hololive English -Promise- showed her versatility in a cover of “Bocca de la Belita”

FOR GOD’S SAKE, IT’S “BOCCA DELLA VERITÀ”, ITALIAN ISN’T THAT HARD …ahem, I mean… nevermind

Anyway, damn, I’m even more jealous after reading the setlist. Now that they have an US division, the bluray will be a bit cheaper, right…?

Pain EU

Hopefully everything goes smoothly with the USA division and they go through with it, something hinting at Europe was in the (very future) roadmap iirc.

(Plus I think shipping from the US has less taxes than from Japan? Might be just copium though)

The whole interview was… kinda weird? Lots of one-liners as answers, although the other, longer ones were definitely interesting.

…also did I hear TCG?! It’s probably not gonna take off outside Japan like WS but I’m not gonna turn down more card goodies anyway. Those are usually affordable even in Europe, luckily.

We could provide the licensed merch for the fans, so they could wear it to the anime conventions and show their support. We want to make it happen more frequently so it’s easier for them to get their hands on it.

For fans in Europe too, right…? 👀

Love the Tutu live2D, silly add-ons like that are the best part of new outfits lol

The end of the end of ends?!

Yagoo interview coming out before the Raora one? So that’s who the fifth member of Justice was!

Guinness World Records are always a fun thing, and I don’t doubt that this will give them some advertising… but even after reading the article I can’t say my mind didn’t resonate with NPC Kronii’s wise words

Correction: A previous version of this article mistook the Austrian flag for the German flag. We’ve edited the article to reflect this.

…how does that happen, exactly? They’re not really similar lol

Anyway dammit dang it, the article made me even more envious… hope we’ll see one of these in Europe too, someday!

Curious how the “boss” of Justice is so far the only one that hasn’t been asked about their plan to catch Advent lol

Not sure if they said anything about that song in particular, but in general I don’t think there’s a pattern. Even within free concerts, they vary from dropping right after the concert to taking more than 7 months (i.e. Ina’s Meconopsis).

I always appreciate these interviews, just found the time to read the Ceci one too.

About to come back from my vacation and I really resonate with Gigi’s distinction between “Fun day” and “Day off”, I had a lot of the former but this is the first of the latter, barely had any time to open Lemmy/Youtube and now I have so much to catch up with, including 3D debuts (and soon, unfortunately, a graduation stream ;_; )

Ouch. She wasn’t one of my favorites but I still liked her a lot. As others have said, hopefully it’s nothing serious and we’ll see her pop up in stories from time to time.

Bae should really hand her title to Shiori, chaos is the driving force behind all of her choices lmao

My guy I live in Europe. And you're totally out of touch with reading comprehension, that's literally what I said in the rest of the comment you cut out.

Nobody in Europe is Pro-guns end of story. Not even a possibility.

He’s “pro-guns” as in, “pro-being able to own a gun under the right circumstances”. No one is trying to outlaw guns in Europe, because they aren’t as much of an issue if you actually check who you’re giving them to, like Bernie proposes.

Almost every EU party and politician is pushing for green energy, not oil, not nuclear. Even Germany while being governed by the center-right decided to close nuclear power stations.

…so they’re against nuclear and only want fully clean energy. Like Bernie.

The EU does a lot in healthcare for addicts, most countries only consider it a crime if you’re carrying a large amount because it would be considered trafficking.

Not really? I have a friend with those issues in Italy and every time he tried to go to psychologists or clinics they all pinned every issue on drugs and wanted him to quit cold turkey before even starting to treat him. And we’re talking about cannabis, which would be legal under Bernie.

Nobody wants to legalize anything except for the far-left extremists in a few countries.

There’s been discussions for legalization of cannabis from the left, but none for everything else. So again, the same position as Bernie.

As for war and immigration sure, I didn’t say all positions. But I still stand by the point that most of those are definitely not right-exclusive positions in the EU.

Care to argument or are you just going to say “no u” and dip? In which european country are most of these up for serious political debate?

Hell, if anything in Italy there’s discussion about nuclear but it’s the left that wants it banned while the right is pushing it.

Well, most of these positions are shared across the political spectrum even in Europe. (Also apparently he regrets his decision about Afghanistan). I’d still say that would place him left/center left in most of the continent, imo.

Thanks for the list though, I rarely see people bring out legit points against Bernie, it’s good to have a nuanced discussion.

Haven’t watched much of the EN boys prior to this but that was pretty fun, even though I probably missed all the inside jokes. Happy Anniversary!

yeah and I could point to his right wing non-economic views

For example? Legit question, I’ve heard him being pretty supportive of stuff like LGBT rights, Climate activism, Gun laws and legalization of Marijuana, but I’m European so I might not have the full picture.

No…? 4-day work week with no reduction in pay is very much a left/far left concept even in Europe.

Okay, that was glorious. Everyone’s arguments were perfectly in-character and the whole stream swinging between scientific points and elementary school gotchas made it peak comedy. Props to Bae for organizing it (and I guess to Cecilia for kickstarting it lol).

I hope they manage to do it again sooner or later, I wanna see more members debate (Ame and Mumei feel like they could do wonders considering their ranting abilities), or even just more of these ones swapping places like Bae and Irys were suggesting. As long as it’s all in good fun and they can find the good balance between trivial arguments and potential for “tribalism”, the format is great.

Finally, the showdown will begin. Probably won’t be able to catch it live but I’ll definitely watch the archive.

The person claiming this is @TheBestFigen. And who is that? Why are they reporting this? You don’t trust random sources on twitter for news.

Idk but they have more than a million followers. If someone with that reach posts misleading information it’s good to correct it.

I mean, I’m not completely against that… but Crowdstrike is an American company. Did you comment on the wrong post?

Nope, weirdly no imposters were sighted this time, although I’m not sure what the little guy above the sapling is supposed to be

Someone on Reddit had Gamma’s message Google Translated like this, for what it’s worth:

Regarding this contract cancellation

I would like to apologize for causing inconvenience and anxiety to all the Hololive Stars members, fans, and the management of Hololive Productions who have supported me up until now due to my lack of self-control. I would like to inform you that after consulting with the management, I received permission to post this document.

■To all Gamma assistants

The two and a half years I worked there was truly a dream-like time, and the time I spent with all my assistants was a happy and irreplaceable time.

I worked hard every day to achieve the goals we talked about with everyone, putting all my heart and soul into my activities so that I would have no regrets, and I am truly sorry that we had to part ways like this. Supported me when I was clumsy I love you all from now on and always will. Thank you very much for supporting Hisaki Gamma until now.

■To everyone who has helped me in my activities so far

I am very sorry that we had to part ways so suddenly. I was able to interact with people who I have admired since before my debut. I will never forget the memories I made with you all. I'm really thankful to you.

Hizaki Gamma

The “lack of self-control” part seems to have a vague wording in Japanese so it’s unlikely to be accurate, but the rest should be correct.

I'm still more attached to Shien's version but man, Suisei covers/originals are always great.

Another one I could see is that he wanted to vote Republican but at some point realized that Trump sucks ass to put it mildly. So he tried to somehow push the Rep party to at least get back in touch with the idea of sanity by killing him?

I could see that happening. While I still dislike it, conservatism by itself is a valid ideology. Maybe he believed in the core principles of the party (small government, free market, christianity, etc.) and was sick of the main candidate being a lying fascist that is the spitting image of the biblical antichrist.

Wake up call for what? They won last election with a corporate candidate and have a decent chance of doing it this time too. Like the post says, they don’t care that much about losing, their life isn’t threatened by it.

The only thing that can be done is to keep on voting for the non-fascist candidate hoping that one day both of the main parties will present one that fits the category.

I feel very stupid for not noticing that.
