The legality of ANYTHING, is subject to local jurisdiction, in this case it will be in EU/Italy. Also, while emulators may not be illegal, copying ROMs that are copyrighted to Nintendo of whichever may be the company that published said ROM, are.

Correct. I was just too lazy to mention that one ;)

Well, ofc on some occasions I might watch a video to better understand something specific, but that’s really the last resort, as I prefer to play the game myself. I still don’t understand your argument, because unless you are watching a heavily edited video, you still need to watch all the “grinding”. I also find grinding enjoyable… it falls under the obsessive compulsive in me., so I just rather grind myself! =)

But that’s not what they are thinking. For them, they think it’s easier to escape justice, otherwise, why commit a crime that lands you decades of not even the rest of your life behind bars? If that was the case, then laws would be obsolete and pointless. Laws exist not only to punish, but also to serve as deterrence. Obviously some people like this dumbass, think they are smarter and can get away!

No. If I want a walkthrough I search for some written article. I don’t even understand the point of seeing other ppl playing games, that was always something that confused me.

That’s an easy one to answer. If they divorce, they have to split their possessions. If one of the partner dies, the other gets to inherit all, if no will is made to state otherwise.

If your butthole looks like a spiral, I’m sorry for your condition, and hope you get better soon. Thoughts and prayers!

Fake news! Everyone knows that “The Gays” are what causes earthquakes, tornados and floods, so just need Grindr!

You can literally just “buy” stuff, and put whatever your currency is, in your wallet. so the transaction was already made, to no specific product. How are they able to track that, is utter nonsense. This is just the companies forcing them to do their bidding. I mean if those games have questionable content (and by that I mean pedophilia or zoophilia), I do agree with that, and I feel that is a responsibility from Valve itself, not other companies.

While I personally have absolutely no incestual relationship desires, the only rational reason be against incest is really because there is the consanguinity issue, which can result in genetic deficiencies. Same-sex incest is for example, legal in Ireland and Germany.

Morally speaking… I too find it icky, but I’m pretty sure this is the result of how we were raised to think of it as being icky. As long as everyone involved able to legally consent, and there is no abusive power dynamic in the relationship, I really don’t judge. To each their own! Just don’t involve me in it! LOL

I’m going to file this as “untagged satire”… right? RIGHT???

I honestly don’t get it either… And I have nothing against porn, but some of these just sound and look like cheap copy/pastes and probably with little to no interactivity or gameplay. I’m curious to see how they are now, if only for comedic value.

I know that many ppl disliked 6, but honestly? I liked it more than 5, and I’ve been playing Civ since the first one, back in the 90’s. 5 for me was the biggest shock, because it introduced the hex map, and military units introduced that movement control rules, and you could no longer do stacks of doom!

With 6, I was already a bit more conformed with all the limitations, and while initially as most people, I disliked the 3D art, in the end, I actually learned to love it, and I feel that leaders were very lifelike, when it came to animations and facial expressions! For me that tops seeing leaders with crappy animations, which was what you had in 5 and apparently, now too with 7? I don’t own that one yet, but from what I saw, they look terrible.

That is a matter of opinion ofc… When it comes to mod development, they are by far, the best company I have ever seen. I even had the chance to talk with some of the game developers, when I was modding 2 of their games, and hey were very very willing to engage with the community. One of the games I modded was XCOM2, and they practically gave you EVERYTHING. You could almost compile the whole game on your own, such was the extent of the tools they provided (which was built over UDK 3). And when compared to other companies like Bethesda, they are light-years ahead.

What is in your opinion, specifically that makes them a company with “shitty development”? Care to elaborate? For someone with so much certainty about the topic, surely you most know how the games are developed and how the development tools work. Eager to engage in this discussion, in great detail!

Right, this is why I’m always very skeptical about these claims, because I’ve seen people making claims, that are not general, and certainly not applied to everyone. I myself, have seen that happen. My top 3 hypothesis are:

• There is an AI moderation happening, that most likely is targeting, not specific words, but rather specific manners of writing. I believe this is to prevent the huge amounts of bots that are constantly targeting the comment section, sometimes with scams, and have on several occasions become a very problematic issue. They still are, but it seems they come in waves… Like, imagine a new bot comes along, writes sentences on a specific pattern, and until that pattern is added to the AI moderation thing, they persist. Once they train the AI to pick up those new bots patterns of writing, the bots then poof, and in the process, may also target non-bots. For example, lately, one of the patterns of the new wave of bots is that they always end the post with 2 emojis. So it is feasible that the AI tool has learned that whoever uses 2 consecutive emojis, is a bot.
• The YouTube comment section (and even YouTube as a whole), has been plagued with bugs, and it is a very old site, which is inheriting old code, and the web has dramatically changed in the last decade or so. So they are only doing patches over the code, and that is not always the best. There comes a point where it’s better if you just ditch the old code, and start something “newer”
• YouTube relies on cloud services, all around the world, so there is a chance that the platform prioritizes syncing more important data, such has views, likes, and things that more directly apply to the monetization of the channel, which is a very tiny amount of data, when compared with all the comments. So it is plausible, that some comments are either being dropped to “save” bandwidth and data transfer, or synced at a later time, because they aren’t relevant for YouTube’s business model, which is, sell advertisement.

I’m always skeptical about these “YouTube is censoring X word in comments”. Can you please post the link to the video? And have you also tried to change the SORT_BY from TOP COMMENTS to NEWEST FIRST? YouTube will in a somewhat random manner, just “hide” some comments, for whatever dumb reason, from the TOP COMMENTS, but show all if you pick NEWEST FIRST.
