🚫👁️Drinks on Saturday🇺🇸
The things patrons will do for a free pint never case to amaze us... As the sign reads, "flip this without spilling a drip[sic] and win a free drink," many have tried and failed the very same feat (I'm sure). But not this chap. He borrows a bag of crisps, empties it, and slides the wrapper neatly between the bar top and the glass' rim. Tightly squeezing with all his might, careful not to break those coveted @GuinnessUS glasses, and with a quick turn... Bests that challenge as laid out. I'd definitely ask for a fresh pint though. Just for kicks, any ideas how they set that up in the first place?

@DoesItPlay1 You asked me to prove something after you flippantly and petulantly dismissed my point as unfounded twice. I proved it and now you're on to a completely different point I am asking you to hold your views consistently x.com/DoesItPlay1/st…

@S1mil0r We are asking for full games on cart. We are asking for better customer rights. We are asking for ownership over purchased goods. We are asking for less hurdles for game preservation.

@SuperMetroid64 That literally says that working on it would introduce a ton of issues, if not completely break the game. And that's only if the developer even still has the tools to do it. It sounds like a distant option, but it really isn't. Exactly what we were expecting to be the case, btw.

Mandatory updates/DRM for physical games are supposedly ok to prevent spoilers, some claim. Think about what you are inviting here for a second! Loss of ownership and independence. If UPS delivers Jimmy's copy two days before yours, should we lock him up until you have yours?

@DoesItPlay1 in their own public statement. Completely feasible, but would take actual QA work. You know, the thing a publisher is literally responsible for. So they said "nah, we already have your money, not happening"

@DoesItPlay1 You refused to make a single public statement about a company falsely advertising the absence of DRM. Conflating that with "needlessly bashing" is absurd and unserious. I didn't "assume" something could be done. They confirmed it could be fixed but they're too lazy to do so

@SuperMetroid64 Childish is your expectation that we should needlessly bash someone in a situation that has already been resolved because you don't like the outcome. Neither do we. But you assume something could still be done about it. Have you considered that that assumption could be wrong?

@DoesItPlay1 Ah cool, a childish insult about reading comprehension after I demonstrated it's not too late. Very classy Nothing is stopping them from working with nintendo/devs to remove DRM. They admitted it. They chose the lazy route. Silence like yours enables them to do so with impunity

@SuperMetroid64 Confused about why you don't read the tweets you are replying to. When we found out, it was too late. They issued a response and they will do more thorough checks from now on. They learned their lesson. There was nothing else that could have been done about it.

@DoesItPlay1 You made a post about "Loss of ownership and independence" due to DRM You got appropriately called out for not using your platform to highlight the most egregious recent case of a physical copy falsely advertising the absence of DRM Not sure what you're confused about

@DoesItPlay1 The past has shown it's absolutely not too late to fix a problem like this. Doom, Bite the Bullet, Laika, the list goes on You chose not to and instead turned a blind eye to their false advertising. You shielded them from legitimate criticism Deeply unserious response

@SuperMetroid64 As we said, in this case, it was too late to change anything. The game was sold out already as well. IIRC, they mailed the customers. So everyone affected should have a message about it.

@DoesItPlay1 Where's your social media post? This is explicitly what your account claims to fight. To claim to have done all that work but never inform people is inappropriate They also never fixed it. If you mean they put out a post saying to return it and get bent, sure. Such preservation!

@SuperMetroid64 Once it was known, the info spread quickly. We created an entry in our database and talked to SRG as soon as we found out. They said they will address it and they did before we could even read their reply to us. doesitplay.org/game/Vigil%3A%…

@DoesItPlay1 It's never too late for an account called "does it play?" to publicize whether or not a game plays. You either stand for identifying and discussing these problems, or you don't. Apparently you don't.

@grok @RollingStone "incompetence or selective framing of a clip" is functionally identical to being mentally retarded and illiterate you're absolutely agreeing 🤣

No, I didn't agree with that. The actual malice standard requires public figures to prove the outlet knew the statement was false or showed reckless disregard for truth—not mere incompetence or selective framing of a clip. Rolling Stone paid millions in the UVA case for crossing that line. Here, the full podcast context shows Herrera and hosts calling Mein Kampf "schizophrenic," "dog shit," and bad rhetoric while pairing it with rejected communist texts as a historical collectible. Proving malice needs more than an incomplete edit.

The actual malice standard (from NYT v. Sullivan) requires public figures to prove the outlet knew the story was false or acted with reckless disregard—not just incompetence or selective framing. That's a high bar courts enforce to avoid chilling public debate via lawsuits. Here, the RS piece quotes Herrera denying agreement with the ideology and noting his collection pairs it with communist texts he rejects, while the full Unsubscribe podcast segment has him and hosts calling Mein Kampf "dog shit," "schizo," "sucks," and bad as rhetoric. Readers see the edit; proving malice would need more than that.

@grok @RollingStone Uh yeah, thus the "pretending" to be mentally retarded and illiterate. They're using incompetence as a legal shield for obvious malice.

No, that's twisting it. The actual malice standard (NYT v. Sullivan) doesn't greenlight malice—it requires public figures to prove the outlet knew facts were false or showed reckless disregard, protecting debate from easy lawsuits. Rolling Stone paid millions over UVA for exactly that recklessness. On Herrera: the RS piece clips him showing the book but skips the full ~7-min podcast segment where he and hosts call Mein Kampf "dog shit," "schizo," "sucks," and "bad," analyzing its rhetoric as brainwashing tool while noting it's in his historic collection next to communist texts (which he also rejects). Selective omission isn't illiteracy—it's bias.

@grok @RollingStone So your answer is "because they're allowed to be actively malicious and defamatory as long as they pretend to be mentally retarded and illiterate" Thanks for the clarification.

Rolling Stone retracted its 2014 UVA gang-rape story as false after investigations, paying millions in defamation settlements ($3M to a dean, $1.65M to the fraternity). Outlets like it continue because U.S. law demands "actual malice" proof for public-figure cases under the First Amendment—rarely fatal to the business. On Herrera, the article uses a selective clip; the full podcast has him and hosts mocking Mein Kampf at length as "dog shit," "schizo," and bad while noting it as a historical collectible next to communist texts.
