You can just admit you were wrong, you know? Both about current legal cases and about how how proofs of negative claims are viewed in mathmatics particularly logic, and in philosophy. That's okay. Sometimes we are wrong, and we learn from accepting that.

I don't disagree Nintendo is a shithole company, after all. Just take it as a learning experience: More than one company can be shite at the same time.

You can't prove a negative

*blinks*

You are calling me the "dumbass", here? 😅 Both logic and philosophy say this perspective is wrong, and also, funnily enough, if this were true (as in, it's not possible to proof a negative assertion in a burden-of-proof scenario) then that very claim could not be proven either? Because "You cannot prove a negative" is, in itself, a negative assertion.
Luckily for us this is of course wrong, and you can prove a negative. Especially in matters of fact, since you could find a list of current filings of Microsoft and hence show that no, of all their ongoing lawsuits, there are none that are targetting developers (which is not the case, it was easy enough to find two cases without digging any deeper).

And I mean, this doesn't do shit to exhonorate Nintendo here, but let's not pretend Microsoft and Sony aren't constantly running hundreds of legal cases and multiple will be targetting developers of all sizes. They're just avoiding big press about most of them.

It's been a long time since I came across matroska files in numbers, but this is pretty cool to have.

I mean from how they speak and post, their ability for language is reduced to the Twitter-level of communication.

This pisses my partner off. She became quite fluent in English over the past few years, but the headlines and descriptions all get auto-translated to German anyways. Unlike every other platform, there is no "Never translate language XYZ"-option, which Google Translate OTOH does offer.

And just swapping her account language to English UK or so doesn't help: Then German videos get translated. Same problem in reverse. Seems the Google managers are unable to imagine someone speaking 2+ languages....

Microsoft and Sony aren't currently trying to sue other developers into the ground

[citation needed], because given their size this feels more than just unlikely.

[–] Carighan@piefed.world 2 points 2 days ago

Yeah but while it ain't for me at all (I prefer written news), I know a lot of people do enjoy this format.

Yeah? Why was that ever in question in this context?

[–] Carighan@piefed.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah the exceptions are rare, and then many like HuniePop 1 and 2 or Subverse lean intentionally into overdone slapstick.

(That being said HuniePop I can't recommend enough, easily the best match-3 out there completely ignoring the porn parts)

And then you usually get "But the sex isn't realistic!!!"... yeah? Neither is the violence, unless you are frequently the Doomslayer or something?!

Like, how is that even an argument. How can violence in games be preferrable to sex?!
