"All the stuff that people praise E33 for in the game mechanics department is stuff that Paper Mario did first."
You're complaining that people are praising E33 for things other older games have done and I'm showing how ridiculous that is by using other games as counterexamples. But it's whatever.

The notion that a derivative work is somehow less than those that came before it. E33 is doing things in gameplay that have already been done, that doesn’t mean it isn’t worthy of praise.
It just strikes me as contrarian for the sake of it. Then again, that’s what passes as discourse online…

And Dragon Ball, along with myriad other properties, ripped off Journey to the West. Why don’t you read that instead?
Should all FPSes be judged as derivative of Doom 1993? All strategy games derivative of Civilization from 1991? All RPGs derivative of the original Ultima from 1981?

I mean there was a time when DLCs weren’t priced like the base game, and that the base game felt complete without them… We are willing to buy DLC, your pricing structure and your costs have inflated far beyond sustainability.
Don’t blame us for your shitty business model. Reap what you’ve sewn.

And then in the same browser watch and love people speedruning games that are 40+ years old at this point, as if the vast majority of people who played Super Mario Bros 3 in the current year don’t owe the game’s continuing popularity, in part, to the piracy of the original NES cart.

They absolutely will, spoken as a current Linux user. Look into utilities like Lutris (program that work with Wine to install Windows-based games), as well as websites like ProtonDB (user-curated platforms that show if Windows games run on Linux through Proton)
FF14 runs fairly well on Linux, too!

As a TL;DR of this thread, for folks:
Person has no idea how Mare (and other sync services) worked and is ranting because they got banned from one for having gooner mods that make their toon look like a kid, talking about how unsafe it is when Mare itself did everything they describe.

I await to see this tiny change that could have done this, that somehow all the mod developers are in on keeping open.

It must be sent and tied to your specific character. There is no other way to do this. There is no mystical server that is housing all these mods, you are housing them yourself.
"Tiny change to a config file" sure kid lmao. Everyone's in on the conspiracy but you. Keep telling yourself that.

By the developers own admission it's a fork of Mare. By your own admission it's a Mare fork. And, per the devs of Penumbra *and* Mare, there is no way to prevent this without fundamentally breaking both services.
Because in order for you to render a mod on someone else, *you must send them the mod*

And you did not care about any of this before you got banned from their service. So... as I've been saying this entire time:

Then I guess the answer is simple, isn't it?
Don't show off mods to people you don't want to see them. Like you should have been doing from the fucking beginning. Mare never protected you. Penumbra never protected you. Lightless and all the other sync services ***are not protecting you.***

Because it simplified the process further. Just as Mare simplified the process of sharing mods between people.
Again: you sent Mare your mods. They have to be tied to you or else they would not display properly in a pair/sync. The data was always there, Snapper just made it easier to parse.

All you had to do was plug them in and they worked. They downloaded, one for one. This is what Floof has explained countless times at this point.
Anyone who had mods on screen was a target of this. You could select that person and download a working MCDF, because you had their mods locally.

Yes, actually. You remember the cache file you set up in order to use Mare?
Those were the mods of other people you downloaded from their service. Anyone who rendered mods on your screen could be a target of this. This is why syncshells were so dangerous.

You were never protected, except by your own self to not pair with people you didn't trust. Something that syncshells actively broke. They *always* had your mods.

Because, and again:
The only way you see other people's modded designs, and vice versa, is by them sending you their mods. No amount of obfuscation is going to prevent that, and their service never tried to stop this. From inception.

You mean that thing that Mare *always let you do*? By, you know... sending your mods to the people you were paired or synced with?
The only way you saw other people's modded designs was sending them your mods. Mare facilitated this. Lightless facilitates this. All sync services facilitate this.

Cute. The equivalent of "I am rubber, you are glue".
If you truly cared about Mare's security model you'd've done your due diligence *well* before this point and realized exactly what it was doing. And that Lightless is doing the same thing.
You didn't care before Lightless banned you. Seethe.

And I can't wait until the vast majority of them crash and burn come 7.4 because they only forked the Mare code, spun up a Docker image, and let it rip lmao
