# peak folio Am I crazy or is this actually kind of wholesome?

On one hand, I can see why you think that. Older women who might not be able to do other things can use their kindness to make others feel better.

On the other hand, it struck me as kind of sad because the fact that paid stuff like that is common now is a testament to how natural relationships, familial and otherwise, have either broken or don't even get to form

Right?
There a sort of instinctual initial reaction where I should believe there is something fundamentally wrong about the concept of a rent-a-granny, but… as a solution to some of the realities today where people need access to wisdom more than ever…. 🤔

@soft drum
That's just completly bullshit.
Pirate software doesn't support pay to win.
Nor can you group Microsoft and Playstation as against ea when their almost as bad.
Pirate software agrees with the dint kill games on priciple
What he doesnt agree with is how a bunch of these people dint understand how the game industry actually works and that they have no interest in hearing able some of the things they are asking for are impossible to implement.

#

Games like league or mmos cant simply be made to work offline

#

Sure you can easily make MOST games work

#

But a lot of the things in the don't kill games while awesome do not operate within the reality of how code works

#

And the ignoant masses don't like to hear something wont work because if some thing they have no understanding of

#

The "don't kill games" is not putting fowards actual ideas that work. Its just the sane as politicians saying " i can fix this" without knowing a damn thing about it.. yeah we ALL want it fixed. But putting a petion together with "solutions" that anyone with a basic knowledge of how the internet and code words can tell you are bullshit solves nothing hes not the enemy. Hes trying to make it so you don't all look like dumbasses and implement something that is remotely feasible.

It the "can we nuke the hurricane"

Or "what about injecting bleach"

You know how you can download the dedicated server files for Palworld and just host your own server?

#

I have heard grumblings that publishers have been trying to take down private servers for games they no longer maintain servers for

also none of what is proposed is supposed to work retroactively

inner dagger

#

people have figured out that you can run a car just via an electric motor instead of one running of gasoline, this isn't rocket science this is just video game coding.

#

what do you see at the top there?

#

there's somewhat of an FAQ 25 questions long

humble parrot
peak folio
#

Everyone is so confused

solid sun
#

Everyone who assumes the SKG initative is not thought out probably didn't read the FAQ

zinc depot
#

A: An increasing number of videogames are designed to rely on a server the publisher controls in order for the game to function. This acts as a lifeline to the game. When the publisher decides to turn this off, it is essentially cutting off life support to the game, making it completely inoperable for all customers. Companies that do this often intentionally prevent people from 'repairing' the game also by withholding vital components. When this happens, the game is 'destroyed', because no one can ever operate it again.

#

Now servers cannot be maintained forever

#

However, communities tend to make their own servers, even crowdfunding, or keeping them as projects of passion for the game

#

If a company stopped that happening, then they are just being a phallus

#

If it's a single player game that needs a server to verify it before you can play, then that is just satanaic, and there have been a few

inner dagger
#

Yeah and i agree with all that

zinc depot
#

I don't know what can be done

hearty sonnet
#

Satanic 😆

#

Oh man

solid sun
#

Satanic like television

inner dagger
#

But the point is. You can't just ask a developer to just "give me the code for your server"

zinc depot
#

Games as a service is the reason for this

solid sun
#

nobody is saying that, but there will have to be a new way to think to manage the so called 'sunsetting' of the online structure

#

worst case we go back to a peer-to-peer lobby host system where the person with the best ping hosts.

So to better explain myself on that.. I was more confused than anything regarding that.. I'm not upset, it was just that what I saw was the off-topic "A channel to talk about anything you'd like.." (In the decriptive up above here.) And if my remix of a trails game is being considered self-promo, that is fair if that’s the rule and I have no arguements. But I’ve also seen quite a few posts of Pokémon fanart here too (from Twitter and elsewhere which are platforms that are definitely MORE 'social media' than YT), and since Palworld is currently under fire and being raked over the coals by Nintendo over the Pokémon similarities, it kinda made me wonder where the line is drawn at times. 😅 But again, no hard feelings, I just wasn’t sure what’s okay and what’s not and was genuinely lost on this!

The problem with that is that if you're playing for 4+ Hours, the game crashes, and your save gets corrupted, you are screwed. I also go to the title screen once every 2 Hours, so that I know the save file is gonna be fine.

This is incorrect, rule 5 is still applies as usual unless they specifically state it (like in #videos-動画 and #1382931147771875328 ). Please don’t assume that being active on the server long enough gives you permission to break the rules.

Also might not be off topic but posting here: wasn’t krafton working with pocketpair on some kind of mobile palworld or something? I had heard a lot of krafton hate because of a subnautica 2 deal or something, and was wondering if this would affect their partnership with pocketpair in any way

It's already too late to change

mental summit
#

So… that means what exactly?

peak folio
#

Krafton’s statement said the fired the heads at Unknown Worlds with the allegations that they weren’t dedicated enough to the project and their supposed absence of leadership caused delays.

That’s not something that can happen with Palworld because Pocketpair is not under Krafton’s umbrella. If I understand correctly, Krafton is using their own resources to do mobile Palworld.

teal iron
#

Well you can understand my concerns that the big company that had one job with subnautica 2 is inventing new, terrible jobs while failing the one job, might screw up a Palworld mobile port where they have many jobs and less public exposure

It doesn't affect me either way because I don't play games on my phone but i generally prefer good things happen to the Palworld IP than bad things

Krafton is messing up subnautica 2 by overly interfering with the devs
Krafton is solely working on the Palworld mobile port, meaning they have even more responsibility they can fumble through bad executive decisions

The first is an assumption as we don’t even know if they’re the ones to blame.

If the court sides with the ex ceos they yes we can say that.

But publishers will get ornery blowing a bunch of recourses on a way overbudget project if the people who are supposed to be there keeping everyone straight aren’t even putting in their time commitment.

#

But the thing is we just don’t know.

If Krafton’s expectation was to have everyone there for every waking hour then that’s obviously a problem.

Nintendo burned US tax dollars getting the FBI to take down romsites, when they definitely have better things to be spending their time on.

To be sllightly fair to Nintendo, it was a site for Switch roms, but they still make the fallacy that every pirated copy is a lost sale, when it's already been proven that pirates are more likely to spend on average. Also, not every pirate would have purchased a copy anyways if the ripped ROM wasn't an option, like someone who didn't have a console and wasn't about to shell out the money for one.

zinc depot

Unfortunately they are used for other stuff

#

I remember when zelda breath of the wild got an almost immediate romdump

People were saying it would destroy sales

I tried it on the only working emulator, it was a buggy, broken, extremely low fps hell

No way would anyone have had a good experience playing it at 3fps and clipping textures

Before they got struck down, I remember hearing about how they were decent emulators. Whoever greenlit the original article for that one newsite basically praising day 1 emulation for Metroid Dread and pirates probably got fired.

I'd take that with a pinch of salt

Game might run, but not very clean or fast

Yeah, and those emulator devs making build specific patches for their emulators to run the new Zelda game before it's street date and putting it behind a patreon paywall was a terrible move, since it gave Nintendo room to argue that in order to develop that build, they had access to the pirated rom.

Yeah but it ran horribly

The article went over how on day 1, Metroid Dread could be run at 4k at 60 fps, definitely news worthy for a gaming news site, but it had to be revised for a reason.

You couldn't play it, everything lagged

It's not a good look when "thank God for pirates" was in the initial article.

I hope this news going around about the Switch 2 now bricking if you play used games is fake. That would be way too far. What is the point of backwards compatibility then?

peak folio
#

When they say “used games” they really meant “bootlegs”

kindred sleet
#

Other people's games they are using thus they got bricked

#

Using the mig switch and reselling I mean

#

To dumb the game and then resell it

peak folio
#

Nintendo has always offered to replace bootlegs with a real copy of the game if you rat out where you bought the counterfeit cartridge from.

#

But until now they wouldn’t know unless the cart was presented to customer service or something

kindred sleet
#

It's becoming more common tho
Been seeing them doing this and them getting banned and have to call Nintendo to get them unbanned
Just provide that you own the copy with a high resolution picture and then wait

peak folio
#

Yeah.

#

The story this round is stemming from was a fellow got banned after buying some “used” games off of Facebook marketplace and putting them into their system to download the updates.

#

Then they woke up with a banned console and had to call Nintendo to get unbanned.

humble parrot
#

Nintendo never liked the 2nd hand market

#

Guess they are still playing that game

peak folio
#

Nope, but if the carts were genuine I severely doubt that would happen.

#

Given where they bought them from it is highly likely at least one was a counterfeit.

humble parrot
#

Aren't the bricked consoles also selling as 2nd hand

#

Which coincidentally also plays into their hate for 2nd hand market

I’ve encountered counterfeit GBA games like this when I was younger.

# peak folio When they say “used games” they really meant “bootlegs”

I've long since stopped reading articles on gaming sites because of the clear bias. Instead try to find those who do videos and add citations in the description, which aren't many... I figured it was due to bootlegs but it seems this isn't the case or the Big N's scorch earth tactic to the second-hand market.

peak folio

But yeah if you bought used cartridges in the past there’s a non-trivial chance you have counterfeits. I’ve even met people who put those up.
