Timing belt needs a good tightening is all.

Just saw this last night with my family. I almost cried so many times and my wife was actively wiping years away.

It's such a beautiful feeling movie for the whole family.

While I don't know Japanese law, and folks are right in US law about prior art, I think everyone is missing the point.

Companies like Nintendo don't have to actually win. They probably created this patent as a throw away to force Pocketpair to waste money fighting it. It costs tons of money to hire an attorney, work through the process, etc. It takes YEARS.

Nintendo probably wants to waste Pocketpair's time and money OR they're trying to get them to just settle and give Nintendo a cut of the profits.

That's how big tech works with tons of patents and how patent trolls keep leeching off society. I have a patent for a button, you have a phone you're making. I say give me 1% of your profit. What's 1% to you? You agree, we don't go to court and the next person that does it I do the same thing, but now I show them how many people agreed and that person is scared and think I have a legit case.

This shit is constantly happening in the background nonstop.

Patent law, copyright law, they are fundamentally broken. But they won't get fixed until something BIG happens.

Nintendo is and always has been a bully. This is just another instance of it.

It was a live stream I was doing with Owncast. Definitely enjoying it. Thank you!

Pretty sure Squenix's expectations for any game is $1 trilliondy-biliondy-milliondy dollars.

Here's a thought ... CHANGE YOUR EXPECTATIONS!

I'd like to know as well actually as I've found the same. Maybe I'm just using Organic Maps wrong? But if I am, then am I wrong or is Organic Maps as Magic Earth works so much more seamlessly. Magic Earth website clearly states it uses OSM.

Dang it! Didn't even think to check ... Boo! Organic Maps it is!

Welp, I had no plans of buying Palworld. I've been playing Enshrouded instead. But I'll be picking it up now. Screw you Nintendo and your anticompetitive ways.

Might I recommend Magic Earth?

Organic maps is great, but the search is really finnicky.

Magic Earth has amazing UI, search, it can acts as a dashcam as you travel and that video can pinpoint your place on the map. I'm loving it.

15 years ago I got a job where I wasn't allowed to do anything. I hated it. I wanted to learn and be valuable and be valued. I left that job.

I worked for a bank and then Red Hat and I loved what I did and burned myself out trying to make them happy. Only to find out they still didn't value me.

I switched jobs two years ago and increased my pay 30% overnight and back to a job doing nothing. And I'm totally fine with it now. I have a family and I focus on them and during work, if they don't have anything for me to do I make my own happiness.

Fuck corporations. I'll take your money, I'll never again kill myself as I'll never be valued anyway. Jobs aren't worth it. People are.

Anything to prevent people from voting! Wouldn't want that! We might lose our super majority and some day lose our right to gerrymander the state!

Maybe they should only allow people to vote by Republican approved IDs? /s

LOVE my Jellyfin.

Buy a good inexpensive TV. The manufacturer can make them cheap because they're losing money and hoping to gain it back with ads and analytics. Don't connect it to the internet. Get a Steam deck or small form factor PC (Intel NUC or variant) install Linux, profit.

I've bought a few small form factor PCs, and again Steam Deck works great, for $300 and then a great TV. And I don't have to put up with any ads, any crap applications that barely work, it's just browsing ANY website I want, playing ANY PC game I want. It's honestly the best outcome and I'll never go back at this point.

Don't let yourself accept the subpar TV applications that are just a website with awful frontends, that run like shit and that the companies creating these apps have 0 incentive to make properly because their app isn't there for a good experience. It's there to track you, just like the TV.

WHEN IT'S TIME TO PARTY WE'LL ALL PARTY HARD!

I'm weirdly on board with this and I think my kids will love it.

Others already suggested great answers, so I won't repeat them, but I let my kids play on pbskids.org . tons of fun and educational videos and games for kids if they're younger.

I am technical, but here's the installation for Owncast

 bash

    
curl -s https://owncast.online/install.sh | bash

That's it. The rest is handled from a website front end like Twitch's. But yes, it's more than Twitch.

I switched. :-). People on Reddiy used to tell me no one would switch to Lemmy. Also look at Mastodon.

I also know some streamers that stream to both Twitch and their Owncast. To each their own. It's here if folks become interested. Most don't even know a self hosted option exists.

Anyone for Owncast here besides me? :-D
