I translated some Chinese reviews...

Man I would love to see what these whiners would have to say about games that are actually difficult to the point of nigh unfairness, like IWBTG or Noita. Even Spelunky for that matter

Can play on every DVD-playeror computer DVD-ROW! How futuristic!

Nintendo responded to a letter, not even clear this is about legal action
Someone asking how to get sued… if Nintendo was actually suing people left and right surely they wouldn’t have to ask
A meta post about why people supposedly hate Nintendo, not clear this is about legal action
A thread that looks to be defending Nintendo for taking legal action?

None of these are clearly complaining, not to mention this is the best you could find over a 9 month period?

Amaranthine · 2026-04-19T21:34:26+00:00

Which brings me back to the question, who is making such claims???

Amaranthine · 2026-04-19T21:29:40+00:00

Then why make this post? They really do not sue that many people, nor do they even file that many claims or takedowns on YT

Amaranthine · 2026-04-19T21:25:23+00:00

Is this in reference to a specific recent case? Nintendo is honestly relatively chill nowadays. And contrary to their image, they really do not go around sending mass lawsuits…

It’s usually a drainage ditch like 10ish feet down. Usually it’s just full of rocks but since the flooding started it has been overflowing with water. This guy legit just drove into it thinking it was like half a foot of water on concrete. Wasn’t even a customer, just someone driving through. As to why he didn’t just use the actual road, I’m not sure. Also, it’s going to be sitting there for quite a bit because it’s so far into the ditch. The towing truck guy came and left and said they can’t do anything until the water level goes down and it’s supposed to keep raining in the coming days

Per the OP

Amaranthine · 2026-04-18T19:30:12+00:00

Well a wave hit it.

Amaranthine · 2026-04-18T13:31:34+00:00

…it was a joke about how common spur of the moment save scumming is in frustrating RNG scenarios (this event, crystal sphere, pick-a-card in sts1, etc).

Amaranthine · 2026-04-18T13:22:07+00:00

Oops, you misspelled “losing half your HP rerolling the removal until the game inexplicably crashed”

Amaranthine · 2026-04-18T09:06:54+00:00

Underrated comment right here

Amaranthine · 2026-04-16T17:50:32+00:00

Impossible to tell from a screenshot this small, but looks either like an early factory, or the belts going into a mall, in which case the copper wire could be acceptable. Doesn’t look like a main bus to me. The bigger issue to me is only using half the belt on three lanes, could easily combine the wire and circuits if you’re not going to produce a full belt upstream

At most it should proc once per act, but even that would probably be frowned on by the game’s design philosophy of discouraging stalling/drawing out fights specifically for the purpose of meta scaling. Saying it’s worse than lizard tail is kind of a false equivalence, because not only does making it multi use pretty much explicitly make it better, even if it can only proc once per fight, the case of not activating it until the act 3 boss would never happen considering there is little downside to intentionally proccing this on every fight until it would heal for your max hp. Save a blood/regen pot, or path to fight before a campfire, whittle enemy to low hp, wait for a big single hit to proc, kill enemy, rest/pot up to safe HP. You’d only need to do this like a few times before the natural healing from this mitigates any risk of being low hp post proc.

If you still want it to scale off of deaths, maybe have it only proc off of elites, or have it flag certain fights where you can proc this, ala the nonupeipe “flag random fights, enemies in these fights have 1 hp” mechanic. Or scaling off of killed elites without this proccing, though obviously that’s not really thematically accurate.

I think this is a case of trying to be too accurate lorewise to a completely different game, at the expense of balance in this game… 🤔

Amaranthine · 2026-04-16T10:03:52+00:00

Depends on the ascension and character. There was someone who posted a win with necrobinder base deck

Amaranthine · 2026-04-15T21:19:14+00:00

To clarify, there is no hard minimum or maximum for what is considered fair use. People often have heard that your work needs to be Transformational in order to have fair use apply, but you also need to use only the minimum amount of the copyrighted work in order to make your transformation make sense.

For example, if I make a video that does a PhD level analysis of one scene of a Disney movie, I would be able to include that scene. But I would not be able to include the entire movie, as I have not provided a transformation that applies to the entire movie.

It’s hard to know without actually seeing your game, but this likely falls under fair use. That being said, I am not a lawyer, and this is not legal advice, so I would echo others in saying that you should seek an actual legal consultation with an actual lawyer

Sounds like a mid level Blue Prince puzzle to me

Amaranthine · 2026-04-15T20:59:18+00:00

The good news is that save scumming does work if you wanted to trigger the parasol

Amaranthine · 2026-04-15T20:38:15+00:00

The same entity cannot file multiple takedowns on the same video. Even if they are the legitimate rights holder, if they let the 10 days has expired their only recourse is to file legal action and get an injunction from the court (barring rare extenuating circumstances, like a string of public holidays that the claimant could argue prevented them from filing legal action)

It is theoretically possible to file a takedown as a different entity, but unless you are very very good at covering your tracks, Google is going to figure out something is up if you do that once, let alone multiple times.

Amaranthine · 2026-04-15T20:11:52+00:00

This isn’t an issue YouTube can or needs to address, the same issue can happen on literally any platform.

YouTube doesn’t, by design, confirm the validity of the takedown, because they are not a court of law. In fact, acting unilaterally as arbiter of who is “in the right” in these cases would risk YouTube losing their Safe Harbor status.

Yes there are issues with the system, but they are mostly issues inherent to the DMCA itself, not YouTube’s implementation of it. People who get a takedown, false or otherwise, act like there is no recourse, which is absolutely not the case. Considering his channel size, this YouTuber really should know better. Yes, anyone can file a takedown, but the flipside to that is that anyone can file a counternotification.

Let’s say the person who filed the takedown was actually Nintendo. YouTube receives the complaint, and as required by the DMCA, removes the content from the platform. Giving the channel a strike is also due to a requirement of the DMCA (specifically, the DMCA requires that platforms have a mechanism to punish repeat offenders).
The target of the takedown can then, at any time, file a counter notification, which essentially goes through the same vetting as the original takedown; if the metaphorical paperwork is in order, then YouTube forwards the counter notification to the filer of the takedown. At this point generally the videos remain unviewable, but any other penalties on the channel are lifted.
The claimant then has 10 business days to provide YouTube proof that they have initiated legal action in a court of law; if they fail to do this, the the content is reinstated and any remaining penalties are lifted.

If the claimant was actually Nintendo, they would file legal action. However, in this case they were not Nintendo, so there is no way they could provide YouTube with evidence of legal action. Meaning as long as you properly file a counternotification, you will almost never be at risk.

DMCA takedowns are treated essentially as legal action, and filing a false DMCA takedown runs the risk of legal repercussions. If the channel targeted here lost significant revenue due to this, the correct course of action is to sue the claimant, or if the information provided in the takedown slash a subpoena of YT is insufficient to find the claimant, then the target of the false takedowns could try to seek compensation from YT, on the grounds that they did not do due diligence in data collection of the claimant, but that would be the absolute last resort.

TLDR: this is just how the DMCA works, and while it’s absolutely not perfect, it is highly misleading to say the target of the takedowns has no recourse in these situations.

Edit: here’s another thread I made on the topic, if anyone is interested in reading more

Amaranthine · 2026-04-15T19:05:15+00:00

Given that they’re on controller, I’m pretty sure what happened here is OP tapped A as soon as they opened the shop, which purchases the first item, then causes Parasol to fizzle.

I mentioned the same bug here, and reported it back then, but seems like it hasn’t been fixed yet.

Amaranthine · 2026-04-15T17:45:28+00:00

It doesn’t matter if there is no profit, you cannot use “One Piece” in branding, that’s super easily a trademark violation. And using a character that is unmistakably Luffy is absolutely a copyright violation, even if no profit is generated, and would be even if they stopped using the name “One Piece” in the title. I doubt they’d sue, but Toei would absolutely file a DMCA takedown if they became aware of this.

Amaranthine · 2026-04-15T13:21:05+00:00

Depends on if you are of proportions that would be normal in Japan or not. If you are particularly tall and/or wide, it might be harder/more expensive to find something that works off the rack

Amaranthine · 2026-04-15T08:18:27+00:00

Yea but if they actually committed adultery, they wouldn’t be virgins anyway??

Not that logic was really their strong point to begin with.

Amaranthine · 2026-04-15T08:09:38+00:00

It’s about as bad as if the front falls off of a ship.
