They just sent out a mass email to users yesterday informing us of this, I got it too. I wonder if it wasn't getting enough attention, or if they wrote this back in June but only just made the article visible.

You guys make this sound like some kind of doomsday movie.

I'm not downplaying how bad things are, but if you really have the several thousand dollars you'd need to actually uproot your entire life just sitting around, good for you. Most people don't have that kind of free money.

And good luck moving if you have pets, or have family members you care for. Have you guys even been to your "target" countries? Do you have plans for how you'll make income? How does healthcare work in your target country?

If you have all that figured out, and have nothing to leave behind, then good for you, I really do hope you end up better off. But this panicked response of "What are you waiting for, run!!!!!" is way more entitled than people seem to think.

I don't think I've been banned, but I did a similar thing. I requested all my data from Reddit, then used that list of comment/post IDs to mass-edit them. I think I'm in the clear because I used the official third party API, with an official "app." If you used the private API or instrumented this via the browser, that may be why you were banned.

Anyway, if you or someone else wants their full history, Reddit will give it to you via a data export request.

There was no judgement, only a settlement. Yuzu is not "illegal." Nintendo can abuse DMCA and request GitHub take these down, and GitHub will probably listen, but Nintendo would not be "legally in the right" to do so.

I really hope you've taken a breather inbetween your internet raging to realize the "violent" aspects of this game are completely optional. It's tastefully done, and absolutely no different than killing Minecraft cows for food. Are you a vegetarian when you play Minecraft?

If the game wasn't also low effort slop that's borderline an asset flip with how many designs they've stolen, I'd probably tolerate it more but I'm awestruck so many people are eating this trash up and celebrating it.

If you're going to parrot stuff you heard off Twitter, the least you can do is verify it for yourself first. The designs aren't stolen. Did they steal 3D models? No. Are they shamelessly similar? Yes. But that's allowed, and it's been a staple of the gaming industry for 30 years. We literally call other genres of shamelessly similar games by the games they copy. Soulslikes. Roguelikes. Metroidvanias.

You clearly haven't tried this game. It's not "slop," it's high effort, there is a ton of attention to detail, and the success it has gotten is absolutely earned. I've never seen an indie game get so much right.

It beat Baldur's Gate 3 on Steam. It has more players than the 2023 Game of the Year.

Steam is filled with trash low effort games, yes. But are you really so full of yourself that you think Palworld would sell this well if it were just another shovelware title? If it were "slop?" Grow up, please.

And let's not forget the franchise you're defending. THIS is slop:

0.12kg over four years??

How is that not within the margin of error?

The person you replied to is being downvoted, and yes, expecting support from Google is a meme, and Google deserves 100% of the negativity they're receiving in this regard.

But, in their defense, they have always kept their word on keeping Pixels updated, and in some cases, have added on an additional year of support when not originally planned, including an extra full Android update for older devices.

So while they eventually kill every new software product they make, they've always kept their word on Pixel updates. I think the Pixel team has a lot more resources than the rest of Google, so I'm inclined to believe them for now, but I'll be one of the first people grabbing a pitchfork if they don't keep their word.

By blocking unauthorized emulations on PC, studios are able to increase their revenue during the game launch window, which is the most important period for monetization.

Uh huh, yeah, this will definitely just create money out of thin air from people who couldn't afford it in the first place.

The Nintendo Switch Emulator Protection will ensure that anyone wishing to play the game has to buy a legitimate copy.

To say nothing of Switches running custom firmware. There is absolutely no way for a game to detect this, so it will still be easy to pirate with those. Games will still leak early. Nothing will change.

This is a grift. Studios will probably spend more to license this "technology" than they stand to "save" by preventing emulation. They are taking advantage of clueless game studio execs and they know it.

This was fixed already, but a new release of Lutris has not been published with the fix included. The exact line in your screenshot was specifically removed in this commit:

We can thank all that tetraethyllead gas that was pumping lead into the air from the 20s to the 70s. Everyone got a nice healthy dose of lead while they were young. Made 'em stupid.

OP's mom breathed nearly 20 years worth of polluted lead air straight from birth, and OP's grandmother had been breathing it for 33 years up until OP's mom was born. Probably not great for early development.

Shameless self plug:

All you need is a server, a domain, and your DNS records set to your server's IP address. After that, my script takes care of the rest!

Please let me know if you have any issues! I am constantly keeping this updated based on people's feedback!

The article covers this a little bit, but I thought I'd share my email response from Google when I asked them "how can I prevent Squarespace from receiving any of my data?" They responded with:

Based on the summary you have shared, I understand that you need help with your general inquiry about the Google Domains transition to Squarespace. To answer this, if you will be transferring your domains out of Google, all of the data will also be removed. This means that once the transition between Squarespace and Google happens, your data will also be removed.

I responded to this and basically said, that wording is ambiguous. Will my data be removed before or after the transition? They replied:

I'm sorry for the confusion. To be clear, Squarespace will not receive any of your Google Domains data. Only the active domain names, excluding the domain names that have been deleted or transferred out, will be affected by the data shift to Squarespace.

So if I trust their word, it means, if I've already transferred out my domains (which I have), Squarespace shouldn't receive any of my customer information, or even have a record of who I am. Hopefully that's true.
