Wow! I've been using the internet since the 90s and I have never had my hair blown back by a webpage before. The isometric view certainly hits the nostalgia button. Edit (from the site): "Japan was once globally renowned for its people's quality of unique creativity teamed with a pioneering mindset. Their innovation and inventions changed the world. But that golden era has long been gone. It seems that the quality Ja…

It's bold of the Nintendo family to make such statements about Japanese society when they can't even get their own company under control themselves. Nintendo is probably the most universally hated gaming company and it's true of other Japanese companies as well. They seem to be scared of the internet and goes out of their way to claim copyright infringement on anything fan made having to do with their intellectual pr…

I think you're being downvoted for exaggerating an opinion that's really only shared among some content creators. But you make a good point about their overzealous copyright enforcement. It seems hypocritical to bemoan fear and lack of innovation when your company is perhaps the most prolific user of the courts (in the industry) to squash any creators who might possibly be infringing on your IP. It creates a chilling effect around games.

Nintendo is probably the most universally hated gaming company What? I think you need to step out of your echo chamber, I would argue Nintendo is probably the most universally beloved game/toy/entertainment company out there, maybe tied with Lego.

People like their games, but as a company they're horrible to their fans and gamers. Here just some of it from Charlie: https://youtu.be/5cSCLceDAjM https://youtu.be/dOKF9t-hfEw

Charlie's definitely on the right track here, but I think it's worth mentioning that the vast, vast majority of Nintendo consumers don't know/care/understand about Nintendo's scummier practices.

I think it's possible that it can both be true that Nintendo doesn't always treat its fans very well, but Nintendo also makes far better games than any other publisher.

https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/ A collective fiction website, kind of like X-Files, meets the internet.

I've been reading through these for years when on public transit and just this week passed the 500th SCP. It's quite difficult to tell apart different writing styles, so it really does feel like one giant database of scary objects.
