If the 3D of Gen 5 qualifies: smilingzero.github.io/BlazeBlack2ReduxWiki/
Don’t quote me on this, but I believe it should also be compatible with pkmnclassic.net which includes online WFC features such as:
### What works GTS Battle Videos Dressup (PtHGSS) Box uploads (PtHGSS) Musical photos (BW1/2) Wi-Fi Battle Tower and Subway Random Match ups (Currently requires AR Code: https://github.com/mm201/pkmn-classic-framework/issues/116) ### What doesn't Trainer Rankings (PtHGSS) ~~Wi-Fi Plaza (PtHGSS)~~ Seems to work now Game Sync Rating Battles / Competitions

First time ever I’ve seen someone complain about Pokemon on lemmy. Only other time I saw Nintendo complaints was a couple of posts about Mario Kart during the Switch 2 launch.
I’m so damn sick of the bitching about fun games I’m trying to enjoy.
Most of us here aren’t braindead consumers who throw money at even subpar media, much less Game Freak slop. Could probably guarantee you most people on lemmy probably haven’t touched a Pokemon game since they were a kid.
It’s like a McDonald’s Happy Meal. It’s a targeted cheap product designed to make money.

I did a 2 minute lazy search when people were talking about this, and its not just some random reddit post, several people working at stores posted online on several platforms that stock was being moved around or removed entirely.
Most likely its just brick and mortar stores moving product around to locations that are actually selling, or planning ahead for black friday deals. Nothing groundbreaking, but this site was the first that was heavily defending Microsoft for no reason lol.
- Comment on Is anyone NOT steaming their Music? 3 weeks ago:
People pay to stream music?
I thought most people just put up with ads, or get the revanced version of the app with ads removed.
Then you have the smaller group that downloads off of any good distribution site, and then the small minority of music archive torrentors.
I think I only ever met one person who actually paid for youtube premium, but my sample size is probably too small.

- Comment on Nintendo reportedly gets even more obnoxious about patent law by taking a 'mods aren't real games' stance against a Dark Souls 3 mod that could invalidate its Palworld lawsuit 4 weeks ago:
Team Fortress was a quake mod
Half Life used a modded version of the quake engine
Counter Strike was a Half Life mod
L4D was a Counter Strike mod
Gary’s Mod is literally just a game revolving around you modding the Source Game Engine
Seems legit Nintendo.

Yeah the only environment it seems to fit is the military which sort of makes sense for how often you get smoked long before you ever see combat or even just active duty.
And even then most military people have a cleaned up citizen dictionary for whenever they’re not with their buddies.
Anything outside of that just seems excessive and vulgar for no apparent gain or reason. Even funny and wildly profane comments online don’t use expletives as much as some people do IRL.
There has to be wordplay and emphasis to make it justied (or funny like the gorilla warfare copypasta), otherwise it just comes of the same as ending every single sentence or phrase with “lol”.

- Comment on Steam can't escape the fallout from its censorship controversy 2 months ago:
Welcome to the bank owned oligopoly lol.
Debit cards use the same PCI DSS backend, which is owned by Visa and Mastercard, both of which were created by banks (I think BofA made Visa)
“ePayment” systems like PayPal, Cashapp, Zelle, etc rely on the same backend, or also publicly owned by several major banks.
Direct bank wire transfers still have a useless transfer fee for literally no reason. I think maybe echecks don’t, but they expose your full bank account numbers (for no good reason), and they’re still controlled by the bank, and they don’t offer it as a solution for rapid payments.
Bitcoin technically solved this problem except the supply system wasn’t designed for stability, so the value is way too volatile. Even though there are better crypto currencies that have solved this problem like XRP, the blockchain hype train crashed so a ton of vendors don’t accept crypto anymore even though they used to.
This entire system is nothing but a highly organized and legalized fraudulent scam to ensure banks can rip off vendors and consumers with transaction fees and debt.
The only thing that bypasses this system at the moment is using physical cash, which doesn’t work online.

Just like how Pakistan administers Jammu & Kashmir and India administers AJK & Gilgit Baltistan, both of which are across the Line of Control in the opposite country’s border lol.

- Comment on Public transit in Chengdu, China versus Toronto, Canada 2 months ago:
Pentagon wasted tax money on facebook bots to convince people in East Asia that the chinese covid vaccine was poison, so no one is really buying the “China human rights abuses are what allow China to succeed” idea anymore.
Especially since you can just as easily point to Japan’s infrastructure projects which achieved the same thing under US supervision post WWII, meaning said human rights violations aren’t even a supposed cost if there’s less evidence of it that of UAE literally pirating in immigrants to build their lavish towers and stadiums.
Of which the US fully supports, so this just goes back to the blame game of who is worse.
Yes, China has some shady ideas of what is considered acceptable behavior and work output from citizens, but the point is that they are using it to rapidly grow their infrastructure, unlike NA which take a decade for a single transit system to get approved all while car OEMs are pumping out dumpsterfire vehicles of whose parts are overwhelmingly made in China.

- Comment on How bad is it that Israel has attacked Iran? 4 months ago:
I honestly think Iran is too defanged to make a difference with escalation. Israel flexed their capability heavily and eliminated part of Iran’s C&C and a lot of their military and nuclear assets in one go, and they’re still continuing with strikes for any mop up.
It’s a win-win situation for them because they’ve got the US to defend them and they can go almost full force on whatever they deem a threat.
It might technically backfire for Netanyahu if Iran fails to mount any serious counteroffensive, at which point he won’t have any escalation path to stay in power, but it’s still a big win for Israel’s interests.
Also not related to the question, but this proves HTS in Syria is just another CIA project that will follow Washington’s demands no questions asked since they clearly allowed Israel to operate within their airspace.

- Comment on Things are about to finally change! 5 months ago:
Criticism of one of the worst democratic party campaigns is clearly the mark of a tankie.
There’s just no way telling your constituency and voter base to “fuck off” would have any kind of negative consequence on the election.
It’s just simply impossible. We clearly lost because the tankies from .ml ran a nationwide psyop that lead to losing every single swing state.

At this rate I fully expect the democrats to fumble the midterm elections which should be literally the easiest campaign in decades.
- Comment on What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts? 5 months ago:
Compiz, Wayfire, and KWin all outshine both Windows and MacOS in quality and render performance.
The amount of visual magic in Compiz and Wayfire especially is both incredibly useful but also hilarious.
3D desktop cube is a great way to handle multiple desktops, but rotating your windows to any angle is just to show off to your friends lol.
- Comment on What is the best Sea based game out there in your opinion? 6 months ago:
Probably will get some groans but World of Warships is actually modeled very nicely. And yeah its a free to play monetized game, but it is miles ahead of war thunder in terms of actually having fun and playing the game at high FPS and great quality even with a potato computer.
The engine has some cool tricks that really makes it shine with water spraying and sloshing onto your vessel.
- Comment on Nintendo confirms $90 price for full Breath of the Wild experience on Switch 2 6 months ago:
That assumes people actually buy it though. Everyone already has this game, so I would expect most of the sales to come from the upgrade pack and not the $90 switch 2 edition. Nintendo usually makes bank by selling old games at full price with a generational console gap.
Tons of the full price successful “remasters” on Switch were Wii games which people no longer used, and Wii U games which no one originally bought.
On the other hand, the last time I didn’t see Nintendo make bank on literally zero effort was never, so I’m not that hopeful that people won’t just shill out for this scam too.

- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con may have the same stick drift problem as original Switch 6 months ago:
I said the same thing about the same type used on the 3DS but I guess for people who grew up on analog sticks, the flat design is not comfortable or lacks precision in some way, which is weird because I hate regular analog sticks because my thumbs never stay centered and I dislike the curve motion compared to the flat design which feels more akin to a mouse, which is what I primarily use on PC.
