And also in much more speculative charts and timelines and connecting stuff with strings stuff
I feel like there's something to the fact this is being presented and portrayed specifically as Ganondorf the dude and not Ganon the angry pig monster, and maybe it's implying sort of a separation between the two, and more of a resurrection of the original king guy versus the latest in a line of reincarnations of the evil force. I actually was wondering until they specifically called him Ganondorf with this last chunk if it was gonna be something going back to the original Malice DEMISE I was close from skyward sword who's implied to be the origin of the cycle and yadda yadda

I like the idea that Ganondorf tapped into/fused with Demise as part of ritual he did as a mortal man/sorcerer before OoT. A "I want to take over Hyrule! But I'm going to need power to do that... I'm going to tap into this primordial magical dark force. What could go wrong?" situation.
So Im doing voice training at a local college and I did a practice conversation with the student training there.
We got to talking about Zelda and they asked what my favorite game was. I said Wind Waker.
They said Oh cool that was my first one!
Reader I did the math and they likely didnt exist when the original came out so they meant the wiiu remake
I did not to my credit crumble to dust
I have a podcast now. It's about video games and anime!Find it here.
There was a code in kid chameleon to jump to the end of the game from doing a code ontop of a box in the end of the 2nd map? I vaguely remember how that game was large for a 16bit game

I mean yeah that is what I assumed, I still think that’s incredibly evil. It should be impossible to levy a fine against an individual that they can never reasonably pay.
We fine companies peanuts for things like child labor violations but this dude was hacking switches and now he’s a slave to Nintendo for life, it’s fucked up.
How in the fuck is lifetime slavery to a corporation legal? Wonder if he can skip the country, start over somewhere else that's not a hellhole.
It's an extremely stupid clickbait framing for the very normal process of "you have a massive debt and can't be trusted to pay for it so we will garnish your wages." For an obvious example of when this happens, I wouldn't call deadbeat dads "slaves to their ex-wife", personally.
Yeah, but it is "forced to pay 20-30% of your salary" to somebody else, which was why it was compared to slavery, is my point.
I don't really think some dude running a for-profit piracy website is the best case-study to discuss the systemic issues with incarceration and excessive fines (and copyright law especially has absurd fines beyond basically anything else), but like... the concept of wage garnishment has some pretty obvious applications and casually calling it slavery seems weird!

Oh he broke a law, and it's not technically legally slavery so we're all cool, I'm glad we cleared that up
Steal from corporations whenever you can get away with it
I'm not saying that the fine is reasonable or that copyright law punishment is anything but overly punitive, I'm just pointing out, for people who seemed genuinely unaware, that wage garnishment is a totally normal process and that the article framing it as some new and special punishment for him is stupid.
I also do genuinely think there's a difference between slavery (which is what he was facing in prison) and wage garnishment!

Pretty sure nobody was all that confused about wage garnishment, and you come off like kind of a dip trying to explain it to people like they've never heard of it because it also comes off like a tacit endorsement.

I promise there is no need to go to bat this hard for a corporation to defend against the heinous crime of hyperbole. Papa Nintendo will never thank you for it
Like when they went all Wario on people who stream modded versions of BOTW?
Man, I grew up with Nintendo and have negative respect for them now.
I was reading this as I was watching the Indie Nintendo Direct and... yup, agreed. Nintendo has got cool games, and I'm going to buy them on another platform when I can.
His salary is being garnished to pay for the fine against him.
He made $320,000 hacking hardware and selling kits to hack hardware.
His fine is $14,500,000 which is just about 45x what he earned.
Again, how is this legal? We let corporations who actively harm thousands if not millions of people skate with a slap on the wrist, if even that, yet turn one person into a slave for life to a corporation when they harmed no one. It's fucked up and this is a fucked up country.

Statutory damages I assume. The thing that got added to copyright laws because it was too hard for big companies to demonstrate that they'd actually been harmed by some random person. It's completely bullshit, agreed.

Flicky, Kid Chameleon, Street Fighter 2 Special Champion Edition, and Pulseman
Pulseman is interesting, it's a pre-Pokemon Game Freak game

It's normal, therefore nothing is wrong.
What if what they meant was "how did we as a society let this be legal?"
