Also... You know... World health

I think the pandemic made it abundantly clear that viruses have very little respect or care for our borders and nation states...

USA dropping out of a collaborative effort to promote health and safety, weakens the "immune system" of the planet.

Yes.
I used to work in support... I have seen things you people wouldn't believe.

I've seen computers on fire due to dust buildup. I've seen usb cables glitter in the darkness, stuck inside Ethernetports.

All these moments will be lost in time, like a ticket in the support system.

Tangentially to other comments. Though not as prevalent in the 90s as more conventional music software was getting more common also in game music.
Tracker music lends it self pretty nicely to the sample chopping origins of jungle/drum and bass.

(I know that for instance Unreal Tournament 99 used tracker music still.)

I was recently part of a jungle compilation for the M8 portable tracker, and got addicted to how fun and easy it is to chop and manipulate drum breaks in the tracker.

So in addition to a feature of the time and culture of the 90s I think lots of music composers were still either using trackers or got started using trackers. So manipulating sampled drum grooves was in their toolsets. (As it frees up channels and is easy to do in a tracker)

Microsoft AI CEO pushes back against critics after recent Windows AI backlash — "the fact that people are unimpressed ... is mindblowing to me" ( www.windowscentral.com )

Microsoft's AI CEO, Mustafa Suleyman, has shared his opinion after recent pushback from users online that are becoming frustrated with Copilot and AI on Windows. In a post on X, Suleyman says he's mind blown by the fact that people are unimpressed with the ability to talk fluently with an AI computer. ...

All the horrible dehumanising parts, without any of the gritty aesthetics, and every character is some kind of sadistic Elmer Fudd.

The point of this method is that the music it self contains data that cannot be heard by our ears, but that causes the ai to encode the data completely wrong.

Like others have said. Watch the video, I swear it's interesting and most likely worth your time. :)

Commandment 1: Tho shalt, and shalt is a pretty big word you know, it means that you should, but it's really like you must. And I think you must, because it's really important to do the things you know, because they are really important and you should do them.

Commandment 2: Because if you didn't then you wouldn't have done it, and then it didn't get done, so you should do it, and other should do it.

Etc etc

All these "look at the thing the ai wrote" articles are utter garbage, and only appeal to people who do not understand how generative ai works.

There is no way to know if you actually got the ai to break its restrictions and output something "behind the scenes" or it's just generating the reply that is most likely what you are after with your prompt.

Especially when more and more articles like this comes out gets fed back into the nonsense machines and teaches then what kind of replies is most commonly reported to be acosiated with such prompts...

In this case it's even more obvious that a lot of the basis of its statements are based on various articles and discussions about it's statements. (That where also most likely based on news articles about various enteties labeling Musk as a spreader of misinformation...)

I would agree with you if the same companies challenging copyright (protecting the intellectual and creative work of "normies") are not also aggressively welding copyright against the same people they are stealing from.

With the amount of coprorate power tightly integrated with the governmental bodies in the US (and now with Doge dismantling oversight) I fear that whatever comes out of this is humans own nothing, corporations own everything. Death of free independent thought and creativity.

Everything you do, say and create is instantly marketable, sellable by the major corporations and you get nothing in return.

The world needs something a lot more drastic then a copyright reform at this point.

I checked the comments just to make sure someone mentioned eidetic memory.

The "um achually" approach is to point out that "eidetic" is actually the correct term and that "photographic" is a colloquialism.

My take on this is that gold points was a method to drive digital purchases over physical media.

Nintendo gets all the revenue and don't have to share with retailers, also digital is a lot cheaper then physical media to produce and distribute.

Now in 2025 digital numbers are so high that they no longer feel the incentive is worth it's cost.

Also I would personally reserve the term "anti-consumer" for other more sinister things then removing a free perk or bonus...
Nintendo have lots of practices that fall under this term, I don't feel this is one.

Especially since they are giving quite a lot of room for you to spend whatever gold points you have on your account. Anti consumer would be outright refusing to cash in the point right away.

Yes switch2 definitely is the trigger for what ever evaluation internally at Nintendo causing this.

I was just thinking the other day that the plot of the matrix would make a lot more sense now.

The ai is running a simulation of the 90s to keep growing because everything after that is tainted with internet memes and increasing amount of ai slop.

Pro-Israel bot goes rogue, calls IDF soldiers 'white colonizers in apartheid Israel' ( www.haaretz.com )

An automated social media profile developed to harness the powers of artificial intelligence to promote Israel's cause online is also pushing out blatantly false information, including anti-Israel misinformation, in an ironic yet concerning example of the risks of using the new generative technologies for political ends. ...

It's fascinating. If you have to spend huge amounts money and effort on monitoring and scewing public opinion... Perhaps it is time for some fucking introspection...(I know the biggest bastards in this system are incapable of that... But still...)

A great example of using our numbers to strengthen our position as consumers.

I love this, and also the idea he has of a browser extension that gives you an exclamation mark on products features on the wiki, so you can be warned if the product you are considering has bad consumer rights or the company behind it has a shady history.

Even as someone from a country with relatively strong consumer protection (especially with regards to warranty and products breaking), I often find myself frustrated by enshittified or otherwise gimped products from greedy companies putting their bottom line and stakeholders above their customers.

It is a house rule and its pretty popular.

It potentially adds a layer of strategy where you should/could retain a +2 or +4 as a defensive measure.

Personally i like this house rule as it makes for more surprices in play when you can defend yourself against those cards.

It does make the game potentially longer and more unpredictable, so like all house rules its a matter of taste.

I think the cultural theme of the game is more reason for the "anger" than the gameplay formula.

Its based on the most famous Chinese mythological story / fairytale about the Monkey King Wukong.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkey_King

I have not deep dived into it, but I think it's a treasured and well known story in China, and I assume a lot of Chinese people are proud of their mythology being a successful story outside of China as well.

Yes, because that is where all the profit goes in Western companies, and not the CEO, upper management and stockholders...

You are not wrong in assuming that exploited labor is being under compensated, but different models of labor exploitation aside, people actually making value are not the people reaping the benefits.

Look, it's a funny and ironic turn of events and my comment mainly tried to expand upon why this evokes this emotional response from some people.

Also, I don't think most Americans identify with the shady practices of corporations either, so equating a undoubtedly shady history on copyright with the stance of all Chinese people everywhere is a bit... 🤔

As others have mentioned it's also not accidental that the outrage is at the Nintendo store specifically. There is a lot of bad blood between the Chinese and the Japanese.

Oh absolutely, I was mainly targeting the notion that the way "legit" companies distribute the profits is somehow more fair.

If anything these markets show what the actual cost of production is, so it shows how much profit could have been distributed to those actually producing the goods. (Including designers, factory workers etc)

A lot more people could have sustainable incomes instead of CEOs getting their third yacht..

No need for either of us to read spite into the others comments.

I guess my comment was meant more in general, not at you specifically (though I understand it being in a reply of course feels that way)

I am sorry my comment came of as hostile or combative
