I don't share your opinion on this matter, so I don't know of one off the top of my head, and my quick search yielded no results.

Normally I'd say "Be the change you want to see." and encourage you to create a community for it yourself. However, you should probably ask yourself first, whether a community dedicated to hating something is even worth having, and then ask yourself if it is worth moderating. I can't imagine you'd have any real great conversations when it's all going to just be "x sucks" you'd basically just end up with the same post over and over again.

There are a few inaccuracies in your statement, but It was clear the whole thing was about money from the start though, you shouldn't be surprised about this. If you were hoping for AI to be free to you, you should have only been supportive of software that you could run on your own hardware.

Anyway, these companies are in the position of ISPs now, where they have customers, but they don't want to pay for the infrastructure to support the amount of customers that they have, since they can make the same amount of money without making their customers happy.

None of that helps you... Sorry...

Welcome to episode 1 of Black mirror reality TV series!

Well, have fun with your pig, I guess. Haha.

I'm pretty sure Reddit is just down right now, even the app isn't working.

The issue is on the host's end. They have most likely put the wrong local IP into the server.properties file. Have your friend find the line that is server-ip= and have them put the IP of the VPN's network interface if it has one. That should make it so that the traffic for the minecraft server is through the VPN instead of though their real network.

I mean, the primary benefit of fast food is that you can swing by and get a prepared meal on your lunch break. You can't really do that at a sit down place unless you order in advance. They lost the 'fast' part too, since they don't want to pay the amount of people it takes to run their stores though. Now the only benefit they have going for them is their hours, and they're slipping there for the most part, since most places are still running on reduced hours because COVID gave them the excuse to never bring their old hours back.

There were a few games that worked on the OG gameboy, but were GameBoy color games, the ones that come to mind first are Pokemon Gold and Silver. You could play them on the og gameboy, without color and missing some hardware features, or you could play them on the Gameboy Color as they had intended you do. It was a really nice addition.

I always thought of the GBC as its own generation, since the games were mostly incompatible, just as I thought of the GBA as its own generation for the same reason, but really, it's almost just arbitrary.

Oh yeah, I know it.

We could get something like UMDs from the PSP again though. Haha!

It's not really an issue for the games, but an issue with the publishers, I guess, since quite a few 3rd party games have you download basically the whole thing instead of storing it on the cart.

I'm impressed they're sticking with cartridges, since that has been a source of issues with some games. I appreciate it myself. I like them.

This guy is kind of silly for saying that this has been the only time there have been games that fit into the old system, since you could totally put Gameboy Color games into the Gameboy Pocket, they just wouldn't work. They'd scold you and be like "This game can only be played on the GameBoy Color!".

I hope there's no forward compatibility, where games must target the lower spec hardware, since that's the same thing holding the Xbox Series X/S, I hope there's backwards compatibility though, it'd be nice to tuck my old Switch into storage.

I don't think AVGN is a reliable source, it's entertainment. There have been many moments where it's clear (to me) that he's just pretending to be stupid or bad at games just to give the viewer a laugh, so I'd take this one with a grain of salt.
