Or that a quant figured out it would be cheaper to cut staff and stop operating in a specific region vs pay extra fees to continue operating in that region.

not that it would ever happen at critical mass, but i think there’s a valid criticism here.

when i first heard about federated platforms my initial impression was that it was more of a “hub and spoke” system than the free-for-all it currently is. i still think there’s some merit to having a few larger “parent” instances that handle the federation between each other, while individual instances pull federation via their “parent” instance. seems like this approach would help reduce some of that overhead, but that does jeopardize the open nature of the protocol.

it’s a tough thing to balance.

It’s not even about inclusivity man, it’s just good writing and communication skills to say what you mean.

You don’t have to make the effort to include people who might be offended, but you should make the effort to be a stronger communicator if you value discourse and want to discuss your thoughts and ideas in a public forum.

Otherwise you’re just the online equivalent of a guy shouting his opinions to nobody in particular on a street corner.

Final fantasy 2 + 3 are some of the best RPGs of all time. Definitely in my top 3 SNES games.

If you mean the modern or Japanese 2&3 that’s your fault for playing games that don’t exist.

it’s not at all like that, and i’m not sure where you’re missing the boat.

nintendo has ownership stake in the developers of all the titles we’re talking about. it would be like if valve turned off cloud saves on left 4 dead 1. you’d come in to comment how it’s turtle rock’s fault that valve turned off a feature that was implemented by valve on a platform owned by valve for a game published and developed by valve.

in this analogy you’re also playing on the steam deck, so the hardware is also built by valve.

Amazon’s shit is locked down pretty well. At least the fire cube is, not sure about the stick.

I wasn’t able to easily change launchers on my 1st gen cube. It is possible via flashing a whole new OS I believe but I was really hoping for a side-loadable solution.

Final Fantasy 2 is what everyone calls Final Fantasy 4. Final Fantasy 3 is supposedly 6. I’ll be deadnaming both of those fuckers until I die.

The ones that didn’t release in America… didn’t release in America for a reason. I had no issues with the series jump from 1, 2, 3 to 7.

Also Final Fantasy Mystic Quest is dope.

the comment you replied to:

I can’t possibly invest 100+ hours in a Pokemon game and lose everything of the battery dies, screen breaks, console is forgotten on a bus or stolen, and so on.

it is nintendo’s choice disable cloud saves on pokémon. splatoon and animal crossing are both made by studios under nintendo’s umbrella, and nintendo already showed they can exert that pressure if they need to with animal crossing.

saying “it’s up to the devs, not nintendo” neither answers the complaint you replied to nor has any semantic relevance to the titles above. moreover, SD cards cannot be used for these titles.

Except for Pokémon games which are saved directly to the internal storage and unable to be moved unless you have the original save device (and it’s working) as well as the new device and transfer the save manually.

Splatoon is the same. Saves are locked to the system, even with NSO.

Animal crossing was the same until people raised hell about it.
