    Yesterday, the developers of Garry’s Mod, the 2006 Source engine sandbox game, announced on Steam that due to a takedown request from Nintendo, they were removing all the Steam Workshop (i.e; user-generated) content that used Nintendo’s IP. Some originally believed that this was a troll of some sort posing as Nintendo, but this screenshot tweet from Garry Newman, the titular developer of Garry’s Mod, indicates that he’s certain the takedown request is legitimate, and the probably-still-ongoing removal of Nintendo content on the workshop will continue.


  • Not necessarily; there are a few SNES games in the Switch Online library that weren’t localised and hence remain untranslated from Japanese, namely Super Puyo Puyo 2, Panel de Pon, Mario’s Super Picross, and Kirby’s Star Stacker. Though all of those games are puzzle games, which don’t necessarily need language to be enjoyed, whereas an RPG like Mother 3 would likely be much less enjoyable without understanding the dialogue, battle UI and so on.


  • Kbin (or at least kbin.social) has been terrible at properly receiving images from Blahaj Lemmy for some time - I think in the past it did work, but for several weeks at this point, Blahaj Lemmy image posts almost always have the wrong image in the preview, and don’t load when you try to fully display them.



  • I played the first two Splatoon games quite a lot, but elected to skip the third, since I felt, and still feel, it’sn’t changed enough from 2 to justify itself as a same-system sequel. In spite of that, I was fairly active on the r/splatoon community on Reddit, but’ven’t’d any Splatoon interactions on the Fediverse yet. That’s probably at least partially down to me not contributing as much here as I did on Reddit, though; much of what I did on Reddit was answering questions about videogames I cared about, and most of the communities for games I care about here either don’t exist to my knowledge, or are small and subsequently have relatively little content to interact with at all, much less people posing questions about the game.
