It's funny. There are like 600 gajillion Nintendo games being emulated at any time and Nintendo does like 3 lawsuits a year, and almost every case I see if about them suing some dumb faggot who tries to charge money for Nintendo's roms.

How did they get a reputation for being litigatious? I can't think of a case where they stomped on someone who wasn't making money off it.

Introducing kids to emulation is so great. It’s like buying them 50,000 games at once

>>713107380
Think they went after some Metroid fan game.
Honestly, people yap about litigation baiting, but if a company doesn't protect its IP they actually lose the right to use it because the copyright court says its too common use.
I turned on the TV a few days ago and Robot Chicken was doing Overwatch and Smash Bros bits with the accurate designs. Nintendo tried to sue the Simpsons for a shitty pokemon bit years ago. If you don't protect your IP, you lose it.

the fan games stuff is kinda crazy to me

so many resources and manpower go into those games and all they have to do is not step on the official game's toes, instead they're like, 'yea! we're remaking a game we don't own from the ground up! we're taking liberties with the established canon too! look at us! share with all your friends! we do what nintendon't!!!'

AM2R was very unfortunate timing as Nintendo has Metroid 2 remake on works for 3DS the same year.
Nothing else comes to mind except some Smash tournament meddlings but as a Melee player, I can confidently say it was sadly community fucking up and not making proper plans in the end. The first time they tried to block EVO 2013 was retarded tho and thank God they walked it back.
Imo Melee works better as grassroots anyway.

But yeah otherwise it's people trying to make money with "fangames" that use assets from Nintendo games and same name in general, or tries to make money with Switch emulators/hacks, or pushes out emulators to play leaked games early(TotK for recent example).
If there was PS5 emulator in wide use and Wolverine game leaked early and you could play it for free early on your emulator, I have a feeling Sony would sue hell and back the emu devs.

This isn't sad, because as far as I'm concerned Runescape shouldn't be alive now. It was a product of the 2000s and should have stayed there. The upper image is nostalgic, the lower is a depressing reminder nobody pulled the plug on the braindead vegetable.

It is annoying to see people complain about "no communities" when they don't look for any. Hell, probably has a video on second monitor or podcast on or smth.
Even the top pic has prob people the person found from forums or IRL who played Runescape.

Seriously no matter how old you are, just join a community. The oldest people there, usually mods etc., happily appreciates someone who can act like an adult rather than spout memes. And the fact they know you can actually listen tips and instructions on how to play is breath of fresh air.

>Introducing kids to emulation is so great
My dad introduced me to a bunch of emulators in the early 2000s that had a huge collection of NES and SNES games on his computer when I was like 5-6 years old. I'd just start up games I knew nothing about on a daily basis.

I also found his fucking hentai collection of 80s-90s anime girls, neatly tucked a way in a labyrinth of folders with Japanese moonrune names. I guess he assumed I was too young and stupid to navigate file explorer or bother shifting through folders with names in a foreign language different writing system.

I get it, but most of that exists on discord, and discord is chock full of socially inept: autists, teens, or raging leftists/trannies. I can deal with maybe one of those categories, but not the nightmare zone where two or more intersect.

I’m not saying the old internet was “cool” but it was less “cringe” and I don’t know if some of these people are the kinds I’d want to associate with desu. But to be fair I’ve seen some relatively chill discord chats like the one for Close Combat (the fan made pokemon fighting game) but I wouldn’t know how to turn a general chat with dozens or hundreds of people into a friendship like one on one, let alone find a group.

How come the 2000s felt more futuristic than the actual future?

100% correct. But then again, looking back at it, do you really think a girl who was a trend following scene girl in the 2010’s was bound to have a high IQ and sense of individuality and integrity?

Hell LOST itself is nostalgic. I don’t think there’s been a show even remotely close to its level of quality and hype. That era of media is over, for better or worse. Inb4 “they didn’t know what they were doing” a youtube guy named Billiam made a multiple hours, multiple part long retrospective about the show and it was almost entirely intentional

I’m not saying there wasn’t missteps or writing room change-ups but seriously watch his series on it over the next couple of weeks if you have time. I thought I knew a ton about that show and its production but madman really broke down a lot of the behind the scenes development and it explains a lot. For example they pretty much knew they wanted to do time travel as early as season one.

My town used to have one of these places exactly like your picture. My parents took me there exactly once and never again, no matter how much I begged them to go again.

Some streaming shows have a weekly release schedule but cable, again for better or worse, used to be an event. It used to be a social cornerstone of media and stories. The “water cooler” meme in the office jobs centered around people congregating to discuss art. It’s like the modern day salon, but tied to wageslaving unfortunately.

Think about it this way: I recently was reading a book about high IQ individuals, and it made a point that builds on that “third spaces” trend going around. School is one of, if not (for some of us) the ONLY time where we’re forced to interact with the MOST people in our age-peer group. It’s the only time in our lives where everyone is funneled through the same system (involuntarily). Shows on cable bought people together and the hype in between only strengthened that. You get some of that with movies and streaming shows now, but it’s not the same because for one, studios know hype and speculation increase buzz and sales; so they leak stuff and drop more trailers than ever, and most streaming services dump a season at once. Personally I prefer to just binge watch stuff instead of artificially dripping it out, but there was a certain charm to it, especially with shows like Lost

Or a coop campaign. Shit is still janky and broken in the single player like abilities bugging out till you die so you can't switch, multiplayer being added later is janky with the AI not treating coop players the same so you can convoy multiple vehicles of marines around the ring. The story is also huge catch up on what happened between 5 and infinite and then it name drops a new bad race we never see for a sequel. It's fucking half a game with the generic forest biome littered with forerunner and banished structures 99% of the time and then you go into generic alien ruins we've seen in past games already. There's nothing new beyond the open world aspect and it's so trivial you can bang out all the side content in a play session or two since the game itself is like 12 hours long.

The old internet was unapologetically cringe and I miss it. I miss xD'ing and funposting

“Scene” girls still exist but theyre called “alt” now and come with the downside of being leftist influenced shitters.

You can always reveal your identity after the product has been released and if you think the coast is clear (not seeing any articles about Nintendo hunting you).

You also don't need to reveal it publicly, you can still use it on resumes for job applications as long as you can back it up with some kind of evidence if prompted. Revealing it publicly in hopes of job offers coming to you instead of you seeking out jobs is a little naive.

Oh yeah, the campaign was entirely half baked. Even though the moment to moment shooting felt like the best thing 343 had put out yet, the actual design if the campaign was ass.
I did enjoy the MP for maybe a month but then my interest fizzled out (as it seemed to for many others), and I think Forge, Splitscreen play and a proper co op campaign would've made it last much longer.

They send a lot of cease & desist letters to emulation sites and threaten them into compliance. One example of the top of my head is Vimm's Lair. They were forced to take down all their first party Nintendo titles when Nintendo threatened to sue them. And no Vimm's Lair does not charge for roms nor do they make any money in any way from their site.

>>713114360
And even when streaming does drip stuff weekly, it’s not a guarantee that everyone will be caught up because everyone is so busy keeping their heads above water financially speaking. So discussion is usually limited in that way. I’m not saying people don’t talk about shows but it’s usually some niche reddit board or corner of youtube, both of which btw are centralized, heavily censored internet. That aspect has nothing to do with shows and what we were talking about, but since we old fucks are being nostalgic just thought I’d bring that up.

I don’t mind nostalgia but this is most likely true. Psychology supports the notion that most people tend to “remember the hits”. You keep the good stuff and almost repress the boring or bad stuff.

>>713114343
I’m not saying it’s not naive, I’m just saying stranger things have happened and the few times it did inspired the rest. That and the internet is a lot less about privacy now than back then. Some of that is a good thing, but people should still have a basic level of paranoia/security

>>713113557

Bro. 90's ergonomics was on another level. My dad put the PC in the living room at the end of the couch, so you had to turn your torso 90° in order to sit at the computer. Didn't fucking care one bit. Still played all that DOS shit through games like Descent and Fury 3 happy as clams.

>>713114595
It's because sometimes in the late 90s to early 2000s, a cultural shift started to happen in which super colorful things began to be seen as "tacky", "gaudy" or "trashy". Colorful things also started to be associated with childishness and immaturity. Those two things drove people to start making less colorful things so they wouldn't be perceived as trashy or immature.

>>713114453
I didn’t read back up, but I’m assuming you’re talking about Infinite? I’ve been playing halo strictly for MP since 4 and I have to say 5 for me (guardians?) was the best it’s been in a while. What was the mode, Warzone? Is that back in Infinite and do people generally still play multiplayer or is it abandoned?

And while 5 was fun, it really lacked the look and feel of Halo. Felt like it should have been a new sci fi shooter - not to mention 5's campaign being hot garbage
Infinite doesn't have anything like Warzone - just Arena, TDM and Big Team Battle. Last I checked the game is mostly abandoned

If you’re referring to the few new movement options I think they were absolute top tier and should have stayed in halo. If bungie had introduced those things in halo 2 or 3 fans would have cheered the expansion of the halo core gameplay. They even did add movement in destiny lol

It’s not the same anymore cos most kids have either xbox game pass or playstation plus, so even if the quality of what they provide is low kids are used to having access to hundreds of games from when they first start gaming.
Getting new games can still be pretty exciting for them I guess but it saddens me that kids won’t get the excitement of discovering emulation, or piracy, or their first flashcart for the GBA or whatever

These places are literally everywhere in Thailand. They scale from small arcade to humongous lose-your-kid-in-a-labyrinth in size. You pay a little bit of money and they basically babysit your kids while you fuck off to go shop or get a massage or whatever. The staff are always excellent and actually love kids, too. In fact, Thailand simply loves children in general. The locals will always be so happy to see little ones. Seemingly all of them will say hi and smile and wave. Feels like a completely different world going from a mentally ill city with trannies and gays where nobody gives a flying fuck about your kids to a place that genuinely adores children with infrastructure and social graces built around children and families. I hope they don't let modern corrupting forces ruin what they have going on.

They were using stop motion animation with figurines modeled to look like Overwatch characters which is completely different from outright ripping character models from the game, plus it was a parody. That's very different from fan games that outright rip assets from the original games and then repackage them as a completely different game while slapping a price tag on it.

Doesn't even matter anymore. I only rarely used the internet in the early 2000s and yet when I used one of those sites to look people up I found my old home address, phone numbers, and etc. Must've been obtained from some company selling the information.

It does for me even though i was a teenager when i first saw it. I was visting my brothers in college. The oldest was playing torment and the other was using this to play seiken densetsu 3. It was the first time i understood what emulation was. When i saw them flaying final fantasy 3 (nes) and willow on the computer when i was younger and theybstill lived at home i just assumed it was a pc game

There was untouched disc spool on my desk as recently as last year. I finally threw it out.

You know she only posted this because she wants retarded normies to compliment her on her "glow up". I hate women so much it's unreal.

I still don’t get the logic it’s the same as having any other game downloaded, you also don’t have to have everything downloaded at once you can have one or two games you’re playing then delete them when you’re down and download the next

I can't imagine the presence of hover hand in a photo ever helped a man trying to defend against a harassment charge.

For me it was the mermaid.

(It's pathetic that Nvidia has gotten so gay that they pulled their demos, like there's even anything remotely offensive about them to any same person.)

Pretty comfy how Serebii still has the same layout today. I remember first discovering it during the GBA/DS Pokémon days. I remember reading up EVs and IVs and being slightly confused. Pokémon lost a lot of its charm when it left 2D.

There is a Brazilian teenager who can do 900s in park bowls now. It's unbelievable.

We had something vaguely similar in Hastings, but that's long gone too. My parents loved Media Play because it was like taking us to four stores all at once.

if game developers weren't wrapped out corporate tape I honestly think a video game based on KASSO would be fucking sweet.

i spent my early youth going to my brother's basketball games. once there was a kid there with a gba and pokemon. he let me play a few turns. i had no idea what i was doing. i didn't play videogames for real until years later. today i don't really care about basketball but i love videogames.

>>713116284
