    It's not just terrorism, but white terrorism. Carried out by pasty incels who frequent 4chan, take racist jokes for gospel, and jerk off to anime girls. Because 4chan is now an indirect threat to innocent people, it might as well be a terrorist organization. And I'm being sincere about this,

    the tremendous amount of overlap grey area between what you're describing and literally the rest of the internet is where things get tricky ... but i agree with you here. 

    Now That Trump's President... (not any more!)

    you just gave me another post to work with. 

    it's amazing how this topic was derailed with a single post. I hope it has been a good distraction from the recent 2 shootings

    but let's get back on topic guys... we need to take Trump down asap!! watmm must take action now!! 

     

    don't draw attention to yourself, then immediately say "let's get back on topic" as soon as people start drawing attention to you. 

    troll cunt behaviour 101.

    The hell are you talking about? This is some Stockholm syndrome level BS. Yes, he might have a kid, so what? The dude took the time to get into a lengthy exchange with me and discuss his gear, how he's into tape loops, but then when I politely asked if it was possible to get some feedback for the stuff that I'd sent earlier, he went into silent mode and then ghosted me.

    The funniest thing is that 10 days after he'd done that he took the time to go to the fucking post office and send me some stickers (label merch) lol. But he didn't take the time to drop a few lines in a messenger ffs.

    So fuck off with your Stockholm syndrome. This is some truly shitty behaviour. I just hate when people are being dicks.

    not good

    We talked a lot back and forth daily (he had a kid at that time already), it wasn't a "hey listen to my stuff out of the blue" situation. He had plenty of free time to discuss the inns and outs of his Roland TR-727 with me, yet he was too much of a coward to say "I don't like your stuff" when I sent an EP which I wrote specifically for his label because he probably thought that would upset me, and that he'd better vanish into thin air.

    Top fellas don't leave people hanging, they reply with "not good" or "busy at the moment, will get back to it in a year" or something. This is common decency. The fact that you're OK with being treated like that and thinking that if someone is a record label owner or is "busy" means they can ghost you and it's OK, does not mean that everyone should be OK with it too.

    Being treated like shit by record labels is almost an industry standard these days, but I don't think we should just accept it passively. I once had a label guy decline my release but in such a polite and constructive way that I thanked him in the end for the motivation. Be fucking nice to people, that's all I'm saying. Even if you're busy.

    So it really is a huge tradeoff/gambling kind of thing.  It must be frustrating to die when you have around 10 humanity. But that's probably the point.

    i pretty much never find myself in the position of having that much humanity in my counter, on account of sucking too much at the game and dying all the time.

    they're not just plastic cartridges though. Nintendo 64 had plastic cartridges purely as a means of distribution. it's literally 2019 and 99% of people today just download games instead of buying physical versions. games like Zelda and Mario Odyssey are still produced and distributed in physical formats, mostly because there are still familys and people out there relying on them over downloading games, maybe cos it's dad and mums buying them for their kids*. Limited Run games on the other hands, are generally indie games that are too niche for companies to bother distributing physically. there's a reason Jak and Daxter 3 re-release on the PS4 is not produced in mass quantity and distributed to shops... because no one would buy it and it would just end up in landfills... Limited Run produce a small number of them. sell it for absurd price tags... then people buy it and put it on their shelves for display and probably never even bother playing it. then the limited quantity sells out, and most of the people who bought it up immediately throw it on ebay for 4x the price tag and continue the cycle of exploiting nerds who need pieces of plastic sitting on their shelves for display. i'll never forget this kotaku article of this one dude who thought it was a good idea to print out fake sleeves and display EMPTY PLASTIC BOXES of download only titles that were on the Nintendo eShop https://www.kotaku.com.au/2017/06/fake-boxes-for-downloadable-nintendo-switch-games/

    * lots of ranting exaggerated points in this post. a lot of people also prefer buying physical games because they can then sell it second hand and make some money back after they have played it, or because buying games physical can be cheaper than the asking price on digital storefronts. i don't feel this has much relation to Limited Run games, though.
