OP is 100% correct, in that this Ocarina of Time remake (second remake, by the way) is just an unapologetic cash grab.

Nintendo has been on a very obvious pattern within the past few years of taking (some of) their iconic franchises, watering it down, and intentionally changing canon (i.e. Mario movies and the upcoming Zelda movie).

Not only this, but based on recent decisions by them (that Mario anniversary video), it really seems as if they're trying to completely alter their own company's history by promoting their most popular games from said franchises (Mario Galaxy and now Ocarina of Time) as Switch games just to further sell the Switch - as if this is what they're riding and dying on from now on.

And it's?? Disgusting?? To be completely honest. Like OP said, they don't care about remaking games that need to be remade (I personally would love a remake of the Oracle games), they just care about what'll make them easy and quick cash - like this Ocarina of Time remake. The 3DS remake was completely fine, with little flaws that would prevent it from just being ported (maybe a little polished, if barely) to the Switch.

But if they can sell it as if Ocarina of Time is a Switch game? Then they can continue this path of theirs in acting as if (some of) their older consoles never existed. They did so with the GameCube, and surprisingly even did so with the Wii (along with the Wii U, which is less surprising).

The setting that prevents your work being used to train AI models is turned off by default! I had no idea about this until now! Artists, go to your settings, click “visibility”, and turn on this setting! Protect your work!

Do not use Discord to host your files. Do not rely on Discord to preserve your text. DO NOT RELY ON DISCORD FOR ANY KIND OF PRESERVATION OR HOSTING!!

It CAN be lost, it WILL be lost! You must consider Discord as a part of the Core Internet, controlled by one company that hosts the servers.

I thought it was impressive at first that it replaced IRC, but now I am horrified. If the company behind Discord went under today, how many friends would you lose?

How many relationships? How much writing?

You may think this won't happen, but I remember when AIM went down and along with it, entire novels worth of interaction with my oldest friend.

IT CAN HAPPEN TO YOU. IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. NO COMPANY IS INFALLIBLE.

Saw this going around and tested it myself, and I can confirm that this is unfortunately legit. Four hidden bots have been placed in any existing or newly created Discord server that are harvesting data, images, and most concerningly, one seems to be a face swap bot.

Due to them being invisible, banning them from your servers isn't possible without their ID's, which I've typed out for easy access.

Banning is done with the /ban command with each string pasted in one at a time. Four ban commands in total.

Image proof below and further information. This was in my PERSONAL server that has existed for +5 years. Discord is harvesting your shit without your consent, fight back.

The answer is yes, you absolutely can! It'll look like this - the numbers you paste will be what's "banned"

However my sibling tried this in her servers and found that One of them was NOT a string of numbers, like so:

And for clarity it isn't a difference in user or device, this is what she got elsewhere:

So if you ban these numbers and the message shows the actual username? Pretty sure that means they were in there.

Very unpleasant way to check the veracity of this post but hopefully this is a helpful tip for anyone who was concerned - my sib would have No Reason to add these in herself and didn't have any clue it was in there.

Personally, I'd say even if you are still worried about misinfo/fearmongering/etc from this post, think of it this way - worst case scenario is you're banning a bot you'll never use or need. Not a person, a bot. There's no real damage done playing it safe and running the ban commands through, aside from maybe losing some time doing so.
