Apple: Want our artificially scarce app ecosystem?
Me: No thanks, I prefer Android, they let me do more.
Android: So we're gonna do what Apple did, here's why that's good, actually:
Me: 😐

Hey! If you miss rhythm heaven, Mario Party Jamboree has a rhythm mode that's very similar. Also, the sandwich minigame is basically built to scale from rhythm heaven, the sandwich ingredients even make a piano sound.
I started vocal stimming bah bah when playing as Koopa Troopa by the way
I wouldn't know, I play as the neurodivergent turtle with an impulse to dance upon bah bah. I think playable Koopa Troopa is non-binary, like how playable Yoshi is called masculine terms and playable Birdo is called feminine terms despite each of them also being a whole species of Sauropsida in the Mario universe.
"Nooooo tall women and short men don't make sense!!!" Problematic assumptions aside, I guess that means Mario and Peach are mythological beings above and beyond the human plane now?
P.S. if this gains traction, I don't mean these things done unintentionally. I mean the people who do these things over and over in an attempt to desensitise someone against their will, or to impress their equally terrible friends, or ragebait, or anything like this. Also, to be completely clear, being trans is not a mental illness, but someone who uses "mental illness" as an insult is, without a doubt, ableist.
Reminder that people who claim trans people are mentally ill so they can misgender them are transphobes, but also ableists. This attitude is the gender equivalent of screaming repeatedly as a "joke" next to someone sensitive to loud noises, adding a flavor or ingredient to something against someone's request, or getting too close to someone who asks you to keep a distance for sensory or trauma reasons. Only a jerk would do any of these things. Signed, one of many neurodivergent nonbinary people.
Hey! I like Cassette Beasts for many reasons, including inclusive character customization, so basically copying their character for one of your starters (after attempting legal action against another company for supposedly copying you) AND having only 2 default trainers? That really rubs salt in the wound! I'm done.

Isn't it a bit preemptive having a law that "prevents circumvention" because it can potentially lead to something that isn't the only reason people would want to "circumvent" something they own?
DRM is unfair, and these measures are too preemptive to prevent piracy, while they punish users who just want to keep and use their things in a few years.
Companies can prevent piracy by doing better and allowing ownership, but the current DMCA law shouldn't be without criticism, either.
