This is similar to a thought I've had before, in that Pokemon should probably just stop making new Pokemon. It occurred to me during Dexit. With Dexit, both sides were pretty much right. One hand, much of the brand identity is lost when you cannot 'catch them all.' On the other hand, continuing to design, model, animate and code 100~ new mons every year is unfeasible.

And to what end are we adding 100 new mons to the roster every year? Pokemon has wallowed in recreating the same experience for decades now. Three starters, early route rodent, three legendaries, a super duper legendary, some dragons and fish along the way - IMO, ~1,000 mons is a great stopping point. From there they should have just reshuffled mons and leaned on regional variants, and added maybe 2-3 new mons for special occasions.

Had they done that, no dexit, and maintaining a competitive scene in their showdown clone would be a reasonable request.

Do Iranians have limited access to internet? Or is it all turned off? When we do get videos like this one, how is it reaching us? Some sort of Telegram channel I imagine.

must be a terrifying action to take considering everything. brave people

Yup, and all around a weird bloke. New Zealand Today did an episode on him if you're in the mood for a laugh.

You can’t just call an entire unit who is fighting and dying defending their country “Nazis” because of a shitty orgin story.

what do we call the actual historic Nazis then hahaha

Oh, that's gross. The depravity of American capital surprised me for the first time in a while.

they're transgressive leftists, understand. its just a coincidence they happen upon the exact conclusions american exceptionalism comes to.

knockout jumpscare, wild to see crossover here

tl;dr he's a weeaboo and not a latinoboo

they get to feel special and like they have exclusive rights to speak on an issue, they're also generally uneducated westerners who have nothing to say but bloodlust and star wars plots

THAT BEING SAID THIS IS REALLY COOL.

I don’t want to fear monger in general because this is neat as hell and I love to see big copy protection schemes fall.

With you 100%, I'm not sure I'll ever be bothered enough to fuck around with this hypervisor stuff to play like, NBA 2K26, but it's extremely exciting to me that Denuvo is getting more holes poked into it. I felt a sort of impotent anger over fellow pirates singing the 'age of piracy is over!!' because Denuvo came out on like, 2% of released games that year.

Importantly, for me, it represents a return to a baseline in piracy. The ability to access art regardless of your disposable income. That baseline is coming back, baby!

to be fair, so is earning a wage, waiting for that wage to be deposited in your bank account and using that money to purchase games
