    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.



  • Ancestors, since they’d be far more likely rationalise my bizarre present-day manner as being possessed by demons or something to that effect rather than assuming I’m from half a millennium in the future, I can’t say I have any specific guesses as to what the society of 2523 might look like, but I suspect that they’d be far more likely to jump to the somewhat improbable sci-fi explanation of time travel (or perhaps some other technological explanation like mind malware if brain implants become a thing) than assuming supernatural explanations of demons or witchcraft.


  • Despite running the same code and (generally) being able to see each others’ posts, different Lemmy instances (or as you called them, versions) are not run by the same people, so often have different rules as to what is and isn’t allowed on their instance. Some instances are very lenient, allowing anything that isn’t outright illegal in their country of hosting to be posted, while another instance might have far stricter rules, disallowing things like nudity or vocalising certain political views, banning users on their instance who post such content and defederating other instances (effectively pretending the defederated instance doesn’t exist and refusing to view any content posted from there) where such content is prolific.



  • It’s an ad blocker blocker they’ve been implementing as of late. I don’t think you’ll be banned if you continue disregarding it, but they do eventually entirely block the video player unless you disable the ad blocker. However, in my experience, uBlock can block that message to resume normal watching. (Double Edit: This method did stop working on the 15/10/23, but started working again a day later. I guess it’s a question of if the filters have been updated to counter YouTube’s updates, though I did notice that viewing in a private tab worked when regular browsing didn’t.) Go to the extension’s settings/dashboard (on Firefox, do this by clicking on its icon in the top right, then the settings icon in the subsequent pop-up), then the Filter Lists, click “Purge all caches”, then “Update now”. Open an entirely new YouTube tab (or hard reload your current one by pressing Control + Shift + R), and the message should stop appearing, at least for the time being.



  • I make Yorkshire Puddings every Sunday, but I can’t say I ever get too adventurous with them, by which I mean I never do any deliberate experimentation. Any deviation from my standard recipe only comes by accident, but one such deviation has since become standard; one time when I fudged the ratio of milk to water a bit, I think by entirely forgetting the water, it was actually liked a bit better, so the ratio of water to milk has since been shifted.

    Back when my siblings went to university, though, we didn’t shift the quantities we made any, leaving some left over to be eaten as a snack later in the night, or in my brother’s case, as breakfast. Said leftover puddings were not eaten with gravy, as the main course puddings; my desert puddings were eaten with some maple syrup, whilst I think my brother made some kind of marmite sandwich out of them to have as breakfast.
