I really wanna play Viva Pinata but don't want to find my Xbox and hook it up. I'm pretty sure the one I have doesn't even work anymore.

I have problems work the game but overall I enjoy it as a game that [...] attributes beloved anime waifu tropes a sign of severe depression, mental illness or abuse

I feel like Analogue A Hate Story would have pulled that off well if the sequel hadn't kept using those tropes

That's one of the reasons Undertale is so great. It's definitely meta but its still works to try and make you care about its characters and doesn't completely rely on being meta. It's a very genuine game.

Doki Doki on the other hand is meta just to be edgy and barely has anything interesting to say.

that's how i ended up feeling. but hey, at least it's free.

Undertale was a decent game that got disgustingly hyped up by an insane fanbase.

I used to think that but when I replayed it recently I changed my mind. I still think the story is overhyped in a sense, but the actual experience of playing the game is incredibly clever and good.

e: actually tbf i haven't really looked at the fanbase too much though so it's definitely possible

e3: I'm writing an article about how Twitch doesn't care about people who stream copyrighted music during their streams, but my opinion on that is basically "shut up or put up". It doesn't bother me too much on an ethical level (college and pirate radio stations don't pay artists or labels, and I've been a DJ at both) but it's an interesting edge case scenario

They mute audio on stream archives and VODs after the fact, similar to Youtube. It's not a perfect system though - I follow a guy who streams a lot of random arcade games via MAME, and occasionally his stream archives will be muted because he played a game that had an official soundtrack release in Japan that the system recognises.

I'm not sure how you'd detect that stuff "live" and deal with it without false positives or game soundtrack detection loving things up for people.

Oh that's neat. I'd rather play TiP since I never really got a chance too as a kid but I have plenty of nostalgia for the original.

When I get home I need to check to see if the disc drive on my PC even works though. I think its been 3 years since I used it last :regd09:

Doesn't Twitch make enough money to have people who can respond to and review reports in real time, or at least within an hour or two?

Or, alternately, if they get reports of someone doing it (especially a streamer with tons of viewers), can't they put someone on detail to watch that person's next stream and issue them a warning or cut off their support?

From everything I can find, the real issue is that Twitch doesn't give a single gently caress about it, which is a subset of how people these days expect music to just "be free" without considering that people make their living producing music. (That's the real thrust of the article.)

Unless you're exclusively a jerk to people who deserve it (eg Nazis) it's indicative of some psychological issues you'll hopefully grow out of.

Undertale had some very neat ideas but things like Alphys, the music, the combat and the fanbase were all reasons I ended up not liking it much.
