Probably less copyright and more-so that it is not feasible to continue to manufacture all video games forever.
My view on games and the “preservation” thereof is that I buy new when and as I can. That said, once the system is dead and gone from retailers, I treat it as fair game for flashcarts, mods and so on. Figure at that point it is like going to a library for a copy of an out of print book instead of paying top dollar to a collector for their copy.
Pretty much anything but competitive multiplayer stuff and the majority of rogue-esque titles. Just don’t have the time to dedicate to learning the ins and outs of one specific title.
Sorry that I’ve had /r/animesuggest closed. With Reddit’s mess, I’m just done.
Yes, I am the same user. Feel free to send a modmail on Reddit and I’ll confirm it.
As for making a community, I’d say to make a separate one. AnimeSuggest got swamped with requests, with a lot of them being repetitive in nature. A good chunk of those were due to new people, both to Reddit and/or Anime but still.
When/if Lemmy gets something akin to AutoModerator, I can provide the numerous rules and filters that were in place to keep it running.
Reason for the lack of a hook is that they skipped a flash-forward scene that the original first volume of the light novel starts off with. Makes sense in a visual medium to do so, but it can leave people wanting.
If you’re good about treating it like cash, credit cards aren’t a bad thing. The cashback/rewards are nice as they are not taxable. (At least in the US)
That said, for some the temptation of credit is too much.
Probably the impetus for the mass exodus at my old job was the “We’ll Miss You” Zoom call we had for a beloved senior developer. The company had recently added a new manager role that hadnt existed before and things were fine. The new guy started micromanaging like crazy. The SD who was leaving basically went off during the call about how the company didn’t need NG’s role and how it was burning people out.
I stuck around for another year-ish, and NG managed to make a group of about 20 developers dwindle to 5-ish. Saw the writing on the wall after getting shafted, changed jobs and am now making double that salary along with far less stress.
Its basically the intro to the original Half-Life game. If you haven’t I’d highly suggest playing the original or getting Black Mesa which is a remake of the original by a third-party company but with Valve’s blessing to do so.
At least we’re finally off of the beans kick.
