Yes I do. The idea that our planet was just created out of luck, and time, where we are given life, the environment to thrive, the perfect planet to create a living place, animals to eat and survive, the brain to think and evolve, etc is difficult for me to believe, unless it was all devised by a higher being. I will say this individual, or individuals are probably not called God though, nor have a sex, or even skin color.

This is a backwards way of thinking about it. The way life evolved on Earth is in respond to the conditions present on Earth. That's why so many lifeforms live in so many different environments. The environments weren't designed for them, they evolved to live in them (we even have discovered weird extremophiles now that can live in volcanos, ice, nuclear waste, even without any sunlight at the bottom of the ocean off of thermal vents). Life is a lot more adaptable than you realize and the Earth has a laundry list of characteristics that are not ideal for life.

That's the default assumption though. To suggest otherwise is to suggest something for which there is no evidence. Just like if I claim there are invisible gnomes running around your house or you're an NPC in an alien computer simulation you would have assumed neither of those things are true by default, because as soon as we start assuming things can be true without evidence literally anything can be true.

The people who constantly talk about how you need religion for morality seem to ignore the correlation between religion and violent crime. Countries with the highest rates of religiosity have the most violent crime and within a country the most religious regions have the highest violent crime rates. So does that means religion causes violent crime? No, it's just a correlation. But it's also strong evidence that religion does not in fact provide the basis for morality.

Didnt go to any fast food chains during my trips to Japan, but I was pleasantly surprised by food costs. Id been warned that theyd be really high but I don't think they were for the most part.

EDIT: actually, I did have KFC Christmas. Was shit and expensive.

I keep hearing Americans say that food prices in Japan are high and I think it's another one of those stereotypes from a different time like the unusually long work hours and high suicide rate. It was true decades ago, but it's certainly not true now.

But in general I think fast food here in Japan is overpriced and certainly not worth the price. This is because you can get quality food at a real restaurant for as less. Just not much incentive to spend more for some junk. China is even worse. McDonald's and KFC is like a luxury meal there, total waste of money.

They have pretty much ignored all the emulators because everyone seemed to be under the tacit agreement not to explicitly tell people how to pirate games or to ask for donations for better compatibility with newly pirated games. Yuzu did those things. They aren't going after other Switch emulators that don't do those things. This is sort of uncharted legal territory, because the previous case was an emulator that explicitly could not be used for piracy.

I was told Japan is anti-woke and Forspoken was made by a Japanese development team. It was a bad game.

Japan is only anti-woke in the sense that the culture war just isn't a thing really here. Trans people existing doesn't really bother an appreciable number of people. If NHK programs were in PBS in America it would probably get called woke liberal brainwashing since they have entire shows about being LGBT or a minority, but here it's only a very marginal far right that actually cares (literally 1 elected dude in this party called the anti-NHK party).

I would describe most Japanese as politically apathetic and not interested in any politics that might cause trouble. A lot of themes in Japanese anime and games get a pass in the West despite being woke for reasons I don't really understand (like everyone loves Gundam and Metal Gear Solid for some reason).

I think the Bud Light thing is the only example I can think of where that happened. But that's basically due to their target demographic being exactly the type of people who would say go woke, go broke to begin with. I think when it's a mass appeal product like most movie or games, it's probably not very relevant. It's very dependent on what the demographic for your product is.

So in this case, would Ryujinx be safe? Not exactly the same thing, but Atlus attempted to shut down RPSC3 (which also had a Patreon) and failed.

I think the biggest thing there is that they don't tell you how to pirate right on their site. There was this sort of understanding everyone had of we all pretend we're just legally archiving our games or playing indie games or whatever and things were pretty chill. But Yuzu just decided to go blantant and tell you how to pirate. Bad move. The Patreon often used promises of being able to play a new game with a supporter only build to generate more revenue.

Well what gets me is one of the very first things they say is that the purpose of the emulator is to facilitate piracy.

That's not what emulators are for. Emulation =/= piracy.

Now....... I can acknowledge that most people emulating are not dumping their own games. But..... people who own software, like a Nintendo switch game, are entitled to play it on whatever hardware/software can run it, not just a Nintendo switch. Emulation is not piracy.

I think the issue here with Yuzu, and why they're getting sued and not the other Switch emulator, is that they make it pretty obvious that it's for piracy. Ignoring the theoretical you can actually legally dump your own games and BIOS (99% of people aren't doing this), they provide you with instructions on how to not do that and to instead pirate. That's the big mistake they made that other emulators largely haven't. I don't know how this particular case will play out but I don't think anyone needs to worry about Switch emulation disappearing since we already have at least one other emulator and it's better than Yuzu a lot of the time.

Honestly the military can be a good path out of poverty for some people. Me and my best friend grew up on a dirt poor reservation in Minnesota.

He joined the Navy and became a nuclear technician on submarine and is now working for a Japanese company that makes essential parts for semiconductor manufacturing. He never even got an undergrad degree, but he makes four times more than I do. I am not advising anyone to join the military (and he wouldn't either, he hates the US government and the military), but it is a path out of poverty for some people.

That's what i said tho.

In addition of Robotech stuffs, they also handed away the rights for new Macross series.

Except they don't have the rights to those Macross designs in videogames and miniature games which is why Battletech gets to use those (and Dougram and Crusher Joe) original designs and derived designs still. They tried suing over that Hairbrained Schemes PC Battletech game a while back but they lost. Battletech games are weird here in Japan in that you can buy them but they aren't translated. Like even on PS Store they are listed but English only. So I don't think they have a design rights issue here, but I have only ever seen the miniatures game in import stores. There actually was an official Japanese version of Battletech back in the 90s with designs by the Macross team, but they didn't use actual Macross designs (or Dougram or Crusher Joe, but those are different studios).

Have to import it from Hong Kong because international rights don't allow it to be sold in Japan. Even says not for sale in Japan on the site.

https://www.kidslogic.toys/products/st18

Says licensed by Harmony Gold right on the website.

My understanding for the videogame rights and miniature games is the rights are the same as always and there were just some dumb lawsuits by Harmony Gold to try to get those rights too but they failed.

That is the fakest of the fake story subreddits

Yeah we are supposed to believe he has this wife with impossible to meet criterion to have sex but she also won't allow him the masturbate and also instead of just hiding his masturbation he apparently got a prescription to make him not want to have sex (which is also not allowed but he decides to stand his ground on this apparently)? It's just a ridiculous scenario designed to make her out to be the most unreasonable person to ever exist (and probably doesn't even actually exist).
