There should be zero legal protections for abandoned tech. If Nintendo no longer sells certain games and consoles, it should be 100% legal for people to make copies and build their own consoles. In fact, Nintendo should be required to release all development tools relating to their past consoles so that people who still give a shit about them can produce high-quality consoles and games. It should be possible for someone in nowhere Kansas to produce a brand new, official quality copy of Pokemon Emerald to play on original hardware the way it was intended.

This is not an issue of piracy and intellectual property, this is an issue of art preservation. It took decades for video games to finally reach the point of being largely considered art, but game companies do not respect their own productions as art. If they did, they would care about those pieces of art being available for as long as people wish to consume them, even if it means letting them out of their iron grip.

the simplicity of lactase supplements is so funny to me. it costs like $4 to circumvent evolutionary biology. want to eat dairy but your body doesn’t produce the enzyme necessary to digest lactose? the devs haven’t patched that yet but you can download a mod

I love this scene so much, because it means 4Kids thought that young children would

  1. Know what an insurance policy is
  2. Be able to extrapolate that Giovanni is planning to commit insurance fraud
  3. Understand that insurance fraud is a crime

…but they didn’t think those same kids would be able to comprehend rice balls

How is this thing so far into production without all these issues being found and fixed? Like did the R+D department just go "cool concept art, put it into production immediately?" Or what?

Because you would think they'd have tested the design thoroughly before mass producing it.

I'm pretty sure the R&D on the cybertruck is Elon saying "this would be cool, make it happen right now. No delays. No we don't need to test it, I'm a genius."

Doing this benefits these species tremendously. They can become so rare over such a vast area as people destroy the only plants they can eat, every single one that survives makes a positive difference!

Kind of hilarious to me how poorly the title "Mob Psycho 100" localized to English-speaking areas. To someone whose first language is English, it scans as:

  • Mob (Yakuza, Mafia)
  • Psycho (violent person with "crazy" behaviors)
  • Thus: a particularly violent member of organized crime.

But in Japanese it scans as:

  • Mob (background characters in crowd scenes in manga or anime)
  • Psycho (short for psychic)
  • Thus: a psychic who looks/acts like someone you'd never pick out of a crowd scene in a comic.

"Psycho" to mean "someone with psychokinesis" has been an anime thing since the 70s so I knew that one but the meaning of "Mob" really never crossed my mind. I thought it was just his name for no reason at all.
