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.

Could also be useful because he claims to tape all your controllers. So if you've lost some, call up this guy and he'll locate every controller in your house to bring them all together in a taped mass.

Okay, but what if some billionaire bought all the issues? Would that leave us with no issues because the billionaire paid to have them offloaded onto them, or low-quality issues because the billionaire now hogs all the premium paid issues?

I've started encountering the ad-blocker blocker myself over the past few days, but fortunately it proves to be terrible at its job in my experience, as a small X allows it to be dismissed after 3 or 5 seconds, which is outright better than waiting for the 5 seconds plus load time of a skippable ad, or the many more seconds of an unskippable ad or two. This might be useful for me if they ever decide to remove the ability to dismiss the ad-blocker blocker, though.

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.

Nonsense, we all know that Newton was famously jumpscared by an apple shortly after inventing gravity. Or was it shortly before?

I played the first two Splatoon games quite a lot, but elected to skip the third, since I felt, and still feel, it'sn't changed enough from 2 to justify itself as a same-system sequel. In spite of that, I was fairly active on the r/splatoon community on Reddit, but'ven't'd any Splatoon interactions on the Fediverse yet. That's probably at least partially down to me not contributing as much here as I did on Reddit, though; much of what I did on Reddit was answering questions about videogames I cared about, and most of the communities for games I care about here either don't exist to my knowledge, or are small and subsequently have relatively little content to interact with at all, much less people posing questions about the game.
