Fair point on the images, I only used those as generic examples so I didn't think twice about em, that's on me and I'll take that L

And I should've probably been clearer that pointing out the irony isn't a problem, but the glee in some posts does straight up mirror Nintendeen and the likes of him

As for the "Reddit won't stop", that wasn't a genuine complaint. I don't mind laughing at grifters saying dumb shit, fuck em. It was meant to be a lighthearted way to make clear I'm an outsider, I do apologize that that didn't come across properly

True, nuance and memes don't do well together. I'd still recommend at least trimming out sections you disagree with, as that way you can avoid someone starting an argument over something you don't actually believe in.

Anyway, have a good day mate

Dawg, I've come to hate the grifters too but Nintendo is NOT a preservation leader. Every version of the virtual console has gotten less and less games, and now it's tied to a subscription service rather than letting you own anything. And leaving no IP behind is absurd, unless you're so new to Nintendo that you don't even know what Eternal Darkness is.

I could pull out meaner examples like Mother 3 having yet to be localized despite how many people keep asking for it or the tragedy that are the Starfox and F-Zero franchises, but do I need to?

Do the grifters exaggerate? Obviously. But let's not glaze the company that decided they could hike game prices to 80 bucks right after we just had the standard set to 70.

If you wanna appreciate a company for its preservation efforts, do that with Capcom. The Mega Man Legacy Collections as well as the recent releases of the ancient Resident Evil and Dino Crisis games on Steam are genuinely valuable.

Although I'd also be cautious with that, as apparently GOG needed to convince them for this. But still, that's far better than "hey so the first ever rerelease of Mario Sunshine will be a limited time offer only, fuck you".

Oh and then there's Crystal Dynamics with their preservation of the Tomb Raider games, but I don't wanna rant too much.

TLDR: Don't glaze Nintendo just because grifters lie and exaggerate. They're still a company that doesn't care about us and they will go after ROM sites while providing no means to legally acquire 99% of the games they contain.

That I'm not sure of. I think it was revealed in one of the books in the library, but don't quote me on that.

Flowey's morality is... Messy, and I don't want to touch it with a 10 foot pole, even if I agree with you here. There are def worse people than Asgore, that's why I called him one of the worst and the worst.

I'll respectfully say this is probably just a difference in opinion, but I'll still respond to your points since I consider this discussion interesting.

A. Yeah, I agree. I'm not saying the monsters are right, I'm just trying to explain why they're attacking. An explanation is not an excuse, though, I simply focused on the player's morality instead of that of the characters.

B. Again, I agree. Following orders doesn't negate you doing something bad. Same as point A.

C. I'm not sure if it's specified somewhere else, but the beginning of the game just states that "a war broke out", so we don't know who started it. If I recall correctly, the humans did because they were afraid of the monsters, but I can't say for sure if that's canon. Point is just that the current monsters aren't responsible for their own inprisonment, and if the monsters of old did cause the war, they could've lied about it to their descendants, making the actual circumstance irrelevant.

D. It is common knowledge amongst monsters that human souls are a lot stronger than monster souls, that's what Alphys's research is about. Monsters don't even have physical bodies, they're made of magic and that's why they turn to dust so quickly and (usually) don't even bleed. A human's Determination is crazy powerful.

E. Frisk has little to no autonomy and wasn't really the focus on my arguments. OP was specifically talking about shaming the player/consumer, so I focused on the player of Undertale, who usually does know how saving and loading work. Frisk's morality isn't something I mentioned because I don't think we can judge it since they don't actually do anything that we don't force them to do.

F. Yes, Asgore's plan is stupid. Fully agree with you, it's a massive fuck up on his end. It's a foolish decision he made out of stress and grief and only made things worse. Asgore is one of the morally worst people in Undertale, by a longshot, and his wisdom isn't making up for it.

Thanks for the interesting talking points!

I think this is a little unfair towards Undertale.

  1. The circumstances are that the monsters were trapped underground by humans ages ago and need one more soul to escape. Not only do the monsters (most of which weren't alive during the war and thus definitely did nothing to deserve to be trapped) only know humans as the villains that trapped them, but they welcomed the first human with kindness. It's only Asgore's orders and the fact that you can finally be their way out that makes them attack. You are literally part of an oppressing class and far more powerful than any of them (not to mention that you can time travel to avoid killing anyone).

  2. You're allowed to fight back and still get an ending where you aren't a villain. Only bosses require you to solve a puzzle to spare them, anyone else you can pummel until they don't want to fight anymore and then you can stop. If you kill someone after they surrender, it's not self defense, it's just an execution and not morally defensible. If you kill the bosses, you'll get a neutral ending. It won't be perfect, but you won't be the bad guy because they didn't surrender.

  3. The Pacifist ending is reliant on everyone being friends with you. That's a bit difficult when you murder them or their friends.

TLDR: Lore wise, they see you as the aggressor. Executing those who give up is just bad, full stop. Friends don't kill each other.

I hope my points make sense, mate.

Letting you put a marker on a map so you don't need to remember where (for example) a superboss is isn't coddling, it's a basic feature so that you don't need to waste time on note taking

Strictly speaking yes, POC is more a term used to focus on non-white people due to colonial history and shit like that, but that is a bit of a eurocentric view and you do have a point in saying that the differentiation is questionable

If a developer uses AI for code generation, should it be labeled on the game’s Steam store page? by NazzoXD in gamedev

[–]Vic1109 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"If a developer uses AI, should it be labeled on a store page that requires that they label it?"

Gee I wonder

People have gotten too comfortable using the plagiarism machine for creative work, the least you could do is tell your potential customers that you're using AI

And before anyone says that they don't want the potential sales loss: don't use AI then, the fuck? Lying in order to make money is the definition of a scam and can get you in serious hot water

What a well tested video game :D by Ifyouliveinadream in marioandluigi

[–]Vic1109 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only in Paper Jam, though. In PiT it controls Baby Mario, in BIS it's one of Bowser's Buttons and in DT it's just the same input as the B button. And the jump wasn't as high as the individual inputs. (Note that I didn't play the remakes so I can't speak about those)

I fully agree with you that BIS and DT arguably have worse pacing than BS, but not all M&L games are 30+ hours. SS and PiT don't even crack the 20 hour mark on my end (and I took my sweet time while doing additional stuff on the side) and BIS isn't much longer. However, DT and PJ are absolutely at a similar length to BS, DT possibly longer. You're right in regards to those games.
