I wasn’t aware there was a replacement that was suitable. I will have to look into that soley on the fact there seems to be a linux native release, thank you.

My first experience was playing lego inventor on windows XP. it was so fun and would hook me for awhile. I could load the site then disconnect from the internet during play since it loaded the entire game at once, so I wouldn’t need to worry about holding the phone line up. Before that was usenet.

Nexus Mods is far too late on the monetization aspect. The restrictions placed on mod downloading sucks, and it hard pushes buying a membership. Not to mention they basically gave up on vortex and its a buggy mess even if you run it native.

oh interesting, I haven’t seen that in my searches, aside from AI I only see them clarifying the terms. Mastodon.social makes it stupidly difficult to find their terms of service, and they way they have the website makes it so the wayback machine can’t archive it, so I can’t see what the previous terms were. That’s super annoying.

What did Mastodon.social do?

deleted by creator

as others have said, generally a privacy issue type deal. Sometimes regarding data being collected then sold.

I don’t agree with the mentality tbh, if you were concerned about that just don’t post. Nothing is stopping the data collectors from collecting it anyway(I’m sure they already have their own instance set to auto sub and ignore deletion requests), the only people who are effected by it are the users who wanted to see the post, and the people who put effort into responding.

Firmly agree. If I notice a trend on posts being deleted after posting, I just block the user so I don’t see the new posts. Nothing is more annoying then putting a bunch of effort responding to someones question, especially tech related, just for them to nuke the post later on so it was all for nothing.

Thankfully though, it’s few and far between on the communities that I usually look at, so I have not noticed it a whole lot.

One interesting detail is that all three games have a delivery-by date that’s a few days past the release date

Ah so basically worthless to a consumer if they wanted it release day then. So this will help existing games, but it’s not going to help anyone who wanted a game release day.

I remember that. They actually had quite a bit of trouble when they first tried to establish as an officially licensed company because of the fact that their initial user base was sailing the seas.

I don’t doubt it with some of the translations I’ve seen. I think it would be better for them to just release the main content and then release subtitles further on down the road, But I assume there’s probably some sort of accessibility law that forbids them from doing that.

It just gets super annoying watching a show and either having poor quality subtitles or subtitles that blatantly spoil parts of the series.

For example, in one piece

I use subtitles because I have ADHD, And as part of that, it makes it so I struggle to keep up with audio versus comprehending it and subtitles give me a short delay of being able to catch up and still be able to read the text to understand what happened. when the subtitles are broken, I end up hard focusing on that. or get lost requiring me to rewind. Super annoying.

I should clarify it depends on your definition of fan. When you’re making a derivative work, there’s two versions. There’s fan which is The person is enthusiastic about the content and then there is the intellectual property variation of it, which is someone who is doing it for non-commercial reasons under fair use(or said countries equivalent). However, once you start requiring money for said process, it removes the protections the creator has shielding it and generally changes the definition to that version.

Additionally, I agree a donation jar would be much better, but even then it’s been shown that that doesn’t resolve all liability because fan projects have been taken down for having a donation button even though the project itself is free, heck projects have been taken down for having advertisements on the projects website despite having nothing to do with said project

Sadly, this can be said about actual streaming services as well. There’s some episodes on Crunchyroll on even big name titles like One Piece is very clear that they took the episode and threw it through some sort of subtitle auto generator because it won’t line up with what they’re saying. And I don’t mean like they don’t align or they’re out of sync. That does happen as well. What I mean is like it will say Fred on the show, but it will say the word bread on the screen.

I don’t get it, because a service that is licensing the shows shouldn’t need to use a service like that, because shouldn’t the original source have that information? It makes me wonder if those big streaming services are still pirating the smaller things, like subtitles.

Not really a fan translation service if they’re requiring payment.

I can’t say I blame them tbh I think I would do the same

A price hike, after the new Xbox PC relabel launch?? Absolute shocker I tell you

There was a pretty large exodus yea, especially among people who created content and the moderators who were insulted during the event.

Being said, many didn’t have a suitable replacement to go to. Lemmy became the replacement for a chunk of them but, if you can find where the rest went, you have gotten further than I did. I assume they either went to discord like Pinball said, or just stopped posting in general. It’s a big reason that a lot of the more niche subs stopped having posts, and the reason that reddit as a whole is so much more toxic(interaction wise) now.

fair it was basically worthless

I’m more of a tmp, tmp1, tmp2, tmp3 type of person

You opened a completed project. There’s your first problem there. Status/Ticket closed = not my problem.
