Sorry I just don't see the connection between "Your brain is lying to you" and "You are the only real person."

It's something Romney came up with that.. weirdly worked when Trump tried it even though it backfired heavily for Romney.

McDonalds threatened to replace their employees with machines, and when they tried it cost them millions....

"15 an hour? Meet your replacement!" was nothing but a scare tactic, if machines were viable they'd already be in use.

Doubtful considering he's a central player to the Mario brand, they're the Mario Bros. and he's the brother.

What you're suggesting is on the level of Walking Dead deciding to no longer have zombies, for Marvel to retire the concept of super heroes altogether, or for John Wick movies to no longer have guns.

Besides Nintendo's had other characters in harsh spotlights before. Jynx and Porygon for example, still regularly feature in Pokemon games, and they didn't retire Typhlosion either even with the Pokemon leaks. Actually they've literally never retired any Pokemon ever.

At worse they'll just block people on twitter who share Luigi Mangione memes using the Nintendo character.

As for renaming Luigi. laughs They literally have multiple spinoffs named after him (Mario & Luigi, Luigi's Mansion, Dr. Luigi), it'd be a PR and branding nightmare. It'd be like changing the name of America itself.

If Luigi were a minor side character (like Toadsworth, a character they actually did retire for unknown reasons), maybe, but uhh... no.

They're only talking about this because of Luigi, they're scared, and billionaires only think about sharing when they're scared, Sadly they're only THINKING about it

Deregulation and privatization? For something that's already a racket that can kill to save money? Might as well start pulling a Canada and pass around the Vault-Tec Plan D's

There is no skill shortage, the skill shortage is absolute bullshit. There is nothing you can learn in a College Classroom that they can't teach you in the field 9 out of 10 times

It is what it has always been. A desire to fill six figure positions with people willing to do them for the minimum wage. (Protip: The exchange rate exists)

If it makes you feel better, he's also in a Japanese school uniform, so he's probably around the same age.

[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 32 points 2 days ago

For good measure point out that people migrating into the country are often because the 1% are offering them otherwise high paying jobs at below minimum wage, but thanks to the exchange rate that's like a million dollars an hour back in their home country.

Don't make it obvious that you're on the Left or they'll ignore you on principle. Make it sound like you're "one of them"

I bought Mega Man X Dive Offline, really hyped for it, but then when I double checked my VPN, I realized it was set for the Netherlands.... Not good, I thought I had it set for the US as per usual.

Now it still showed the price in USD, but now I'm paranoid, I put in a refund explaining the situation and promising I'd buy it with the VPN turned off this time..

How fucked am I?

Recently got a VPN because I've become increasingly paranoid (It's getting crazy out there), but.... is it a bannable offense to use it while on Steam?

I'm finding mixed answers, and I wanna be safe, so I figured the Fediverse might know.

So here is the issue, I use Google Drive because I am a writer who does a lot of writing. And I thought the cloud was a reliable way to store my writing, however now Google is looking through it's to train their ai. And I'm worried about that, especially since I have written a lot of questionable content, porn and the like. What if Google Now arbitrarily decides that I'm not using Google Drive properly and bans me from the Google, that's not good. What should I do and what alternatives can I use? Will these Alternatives still be around in like 10 years?

I forgot where I first heard about it, I think my brother may have told me about it.

Eye-catching title right? Reminds me of the name of a Japanese Movie directly translated from its native langauge, ya know "I Put All My Points In Defense Because I Don't Want To Get Hurt", those kinds of title.

I know the game is on Steam and is supposedly a collection of cellphone inspired mini-games, but I was wondering if anyone has actually played it and can tell me anything about their firsthand experiences with the title.

Playing Sword's DLC, when I get Violet, I want to trade over some Pokemon that know egg moves. Level 1 of course, to keep it fair.

Any suggestions?

So far I have Delibird with Ice Shard, Happiny with Present, but not sure who else to shoot for.. or if Happiny is even in the Violet Pokedex

So these are two Pokemon that have breeding oddities. Now I know the reason is because Gen 1 has no breeding mechanics, so a lot of how Pokemon reproduce was pretty much an unknown.

We see this in the anime as we have things like "Baby Pikachu" and "Baby Nidoqueen", and though they're blink and you miss it moments, they're still a solid case of Early Installment Weirdness.

But still, I'm a total dork, so I have to have my head cannons for things that don't make sense.

So if you don't know what's wrong with these two Pokemon when it comes to breeding, I'll make it simple. Cubone's a longer explanation so I'll start with it.

Cubone's most infamous trait is the fact that it is constantly depressed, wearing its mother's skull and pining for a parent. Eventually the skull on Cubone's head fuses with the creature's real skull, and Cubone masters using the bone as a weapon, giving us Marowak.

Marowak if female can lay a Cubone egg, the Marowak does not die, but the Cubone is STILL wearing the mother's skull... Okay weird, and even stranger, Cubone can have siblings ALL WEARING the skull of its mother, how the heck does that work?

And for Kangaskhan, the issue is easier to explain. Kangaskhan hatches from eggs as a full grown adult with a baby in her pouch. If that makes sense to you, then I need some of what you're on.

However I can resolve both plot holes in one fan theory, and here it is.

Kangaskhan and Baby Kangaskhan are not mother and child, they are SIBLINGS! The bigger one is always female, the smaller one, not so much. The two are born together and start off with a symbiotic relationship; the nature of which is commonly mistaken as being of a mother and child by those who don't know any better.

At some point, there was a gene that caused a birth defect in which the older sibling dies in utero or improperly forms, leaving behind mere bones. The younger one having the instinctual need to form this symbiotic relationship, wears the skull and bone to compensate.

At some point, Kangaskhans without this defect outbred the ones that had it, making it virtually extinct. Causing Kangaskhan and Marowak to divulge into two separate species. Cubones and Marowak that still have the defect, making it impossible for them birth a healthy Kangaskhan, and Kangaskhan gaining an immunity to the problem making it impossible for them to birth a Cubone.

I mean yeah there is the Cubone who misses his mother in the first game, but, we see the mother's ghost is a Marowak. So... yeah..

What do you think? Have you come up with a different theory, the same theory, or have you just not thought about it?

So recently-ish Youtube purged all the EGS and Randy Stair related content. I had some and got a Community Strike for "Supporting a violent organization"

Just a warning and I don't really use YouTube to upload things anyway.

So uhh, is there a new place to host this stuff?

Because, I feel like it's important to keep that guy's descent into madness documented. Not because I support anything he did, but because well...

He's a good cautionary tale
