it’s a mentality a lot of Japanese publishers share, especially Capcom. They’ll continue to produce what they feel are “safe bets” as far as games that sell and tend to ignore “fan favorites”.

The problem is Square firmly hooked their horse to the Final Fantasy cart and that cart has been in sore need of repair for awhile. I mean hell even FFXIV Dawntrail was…eh not their greatest expansion.

The sad thing is Square has some great IPs that they haven’t touched in decades. Brave Fencer Mushasi, Parasite Eve, Bushido Blade, The Bouncer, Chrono Trigger, Breath of Fire, Secret of Mana, Front Mission, Tobal. They could even make a new FFTactics that isn’t just another re-release of either FFT Advance or the regular one which is all they seem to do.

And then on top of all that remember years and years ago they bought Enix and what did they do with that? nothing other than pumping out Dragon Quest and Tomb Raider games. Remember Enix also had some great IPs too like ActRaiser, Grandia, and Star Ocean.

They have all these fan favorite IPs but if the Title doesn’t have Final, Kingdom, Raider, or Quest in it they’re not interested and surprise surprise the fans are tired boss.

oh please. I’m all for alternatives to youtube, just not ones that are backed by crypto schemes and appeal to and embrace nazi’s.

But you go ahead and give them your money, I’m sure they’ll appreciate it.

ah so they ditched one crypto scam for another crypto scam. nice.

why are you so dead set on dying on this hill for a video site? you’re advocating for a pro-nazi crypto scam video site.

personally I’m addicted to AUR. I just like going down the rabbit hole on there and seeing what people have.

I have. Literally checked out the the site for the first time today because of this post. it’s literally on their front page. I don’t have an account there, private window, all that and I still got it either far right or racist or conspiracy bullshit.

that’s a lot of words to say “no one wants to advertise on our pro-nazi video site”

please. If you’re going to spew this droll bullshit at least be aware that receipts exist.

so lets dive in shall we?

Odysee was built on the back of LBRY another typical crypto scam bullshit that was broke. couldn’t even pay a 100k lawsuit against them when the SEC took them to court and they went bust. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/jul/16/lbry-closes-odysee-cryptocurrency-tech-sec-fraud-extremist

Also you say you’re not a nazi but hey your platform of choice sure does love em! https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/may/14/odysee-video-platform-nazi-content-not-grounds-for-removal

They’re also anti physically and mentally disabled: https://www.dailycal.org/archives/lbry-public-sharing-platform-uploads-20-000-deleted-uc-berkeley-lectures/article_14cffebb-7495-5bea-93f9-ae49d03fcf7a.html thy reuploaded 20,000 lecture videos that were deemed illegal by the US Department of Justice for violating the American Disabilities Act. So they don’t care about deaf people. cool.

They also don’t moderate shit: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/26/technology/big-tech-power-bitcoin.html They say they’ll allow anything other then porn and calls to violence and terrorism buuuuuut they allow porn, calls to violence, and terrorism. Hell just checking out the “lifestyle” section you’ll see that what they state they’ll moderate just isn’t true.

Banned users from other platforms are welcome with open arms on Odysee: https://www.nhpr.org/nh-news/2021-04-19/from-cooking-videos-to-qanon-n-h-based-video-platform-attracts-users-banned-elsewhere you know, People banned for good reason.

If you allow a nazi to drink in your bar, even if it’s just one, you’re a nazi bar.

cause, you know, the Global Network on Extremism and Terrorism called it “The New Youtube for the Far-Right” https://gnet-research.org/2021/02/17/odysee-the-new-youtube-for-the-far-right/

So you saying you’re not a facist, neo-nazi, or any of that is funny considering you SURE DO love hanging out with them.

“When someone tells you who they are, believe them.”

a search bar for your DB doesn’t count guys.

would you have any ocean front property for sale in Kansas per chance?

nope, runs great I really dig it. set it as my default.

it’s firefox based. Japanese browser that has the same customization as vivaldi (which is why I really liked vivaldi) so I can have my address bar and navigation bar at the bottom, my tabs up top, and all my other stuff on the side of the window.

you will soon though.

yup I recently switched from Vivaldi to librewolf which is a shame cause I really liked vivaldi and it’s customization and embedded email but since it’s chromium I knew it was just a matter of time before I had to switch.

edit: annnnnnd nevermind I just found Floorp so I’m happy again.

yup stay far, far, away. Remember when they released their “pirate” game and it was essentially just a basic reskin of Ark? essentially take out the dinosaurs and throw in pirate stuff.

Honestly I just watch streamers like Cohhcarnage or Lirik as they pretty much only play new and indie games and they tend to give honest opinions on what they play. Literally just bought an indie game today after watching Lirik play it.

I dig it, looks clean.

I’ve been debating for a week or so now moving to i3 from kde/Plasma but man I FINALLY got it where I like it and FINALLY was able to get a tiling script working with kde/plasma that I’m like ‘ugh should I switch?’

but yeah looking at yours i’m more tempted.

A tip to new arch users, keep the AUR package numbers very low or at least mostly limited to packages officially endorsed or potentially maintained by the main project.

ruh-roh. um…so I shouldn’t just be installing packages based off the date and not thinking “hmmm, I wonder if it’s on AUR…oh it is, let me clone this sucker”

cause yeah…I’m really addicted to AUR.

and yes I’m a new user.

oh it was great. I used to try and get in the magazine by drawing on the envelopes and mailing them in. EGM and I think GamePro used to have artwork that people mailed in.

Also prior to the Internet this was THE way to get cheats for games. every time a new issue came out I always checked the back to see if there were cheats for a game I just got.

oh Bryan Lunduke? can someone spare me a grain of salt before I click the link? appreciaet it.

had a subscription to GI years and years ago. it came with the Gamestop membership thing.

I miss old gaming mags like this, EGM, GamePro, etc. man EGM used to be THICK, it was like buying a catalog every month.
