Billy Pilgrim has come unstuck in time.

He has seen his birth and death many times, he says, and pays random visits to all the events in between.

  • I do wonder if this is specifically what got them, would probably take a lemmy lawyer to unpack it, but I would have to imagine if they didn’t have a patreon and basically a company, it would have been much harder for Nintendo to do anything about them. And I would also imagine in retrospect whatever money they got was not worth it when it ends like this.

    I always assume when people operate services like this, that they host it in a country like Russia that’s less likely to care about takedowns by western corpos and done anonymously as possible. Even though it’s just an emulator, you would think they wouldn’t be so brazen as to have a patreon which I’m sure requires someone’s identity/billing info. They probably still could have been tracked down if they took crypto donations or something like that, but you would think that would be the first choice over putting a giant target on their backs. Patreon is obviously just gonna hand over whatever info they are asked to give when served a warrent, and so is Discord for that matter if they had any personal info on there too.




  • they have not blocked it and they probably won’t block it bc it involves signing in with your twitter and since it’s just an android app it’s not gonna get as big as nitter, I don’t think it’s really helpful to tell people to “just accept it” as an individual you’re not gonna be able to successfully lobby everything you follow to change to bluesky (which I think you can get rss feeds from) or masto (which you can get rss feeds from), like for example your city’s local government/services only posts on facebook and twitter, no rss, this is still useful for things like that

    It’s a video from a good place, but doing things like this are exactly the kinds of things that fuel content leeches like Destiny, he’s one of the few people that is not worth responding too pretty much no-matter what, I guess the intention could be to offer deprogramming for Destiny’s audience, but it would be a much better use of time responding to people who’s jobs aren’t essentially farming hate against themselves.





  • It’s a very good and thorough analysis, pretty much every live action remake of everything falls into the same trap of cutting substance/context in favor of having “cool” fight/action scenes. Unless an adaptation is extremely faithful to the original it will devolve into what kind of cool visuals can we do and then the actual substance of why those things happen and the point the writer was trying to illustrate is lost.

    Also very insidious for the show to not include Saka putting on the Kioshi warriors’ costume because it would be seen as promoting drag/cross-dressing in kids media, that is one of the most memorable parts of that episode and it makes no sense not to include it other than to be as marketable as possible. Makes me wonder how the one piece live action will deal with it when they get to it, whether it’s the director’s choice in this adapation or something top down from the current netflix execs.
