"'This Is What AI And Greed Does' - Video Game 'Preservation Service' Myrient Is Shutting Down"

I'm not posting this to join the lamentation about the shut down of "Myrient," because I'd never even heard of "Myrient" prior to reading this article, and its shutdown does not affect me personally.

I'm also not necessarily posting this to say that while I disagree with roughly 99.9999% of the holier-than-thou whinging of that "GodlessPreservation" assclown down in the comments about how "objectively theft" and "morally wrong" roms sites are, I do agree that calling a rom site a "preservation service" is, at best, highly disingenuous.

I'm not even posting this to say that, yeah, the AI bubble is indeed a big reason why computer parts cost an arm and a leg now (when they only cost maybe an arm or a leg before), i.e. one of many reasons why the AI bubble needs to burst ASAP.

No, I am primarily posting this because it contains a proper, legitimate, and correct usage of the phrase "out of pocket." Increasingly rare, that.

Watch on YouTube

I haven't seen anything past the original Neon Genesis Evangelion and The End of Evangelion movie. Nothing from Rebuild (yet). And I remember almost nothing about what I have seen, since it's been probably at least two decades since I watched NGE. So... if I want to watch this new stuff when it drops, I feel like I have a lot of catching up to do first, which would probably include rewatching all of the original stuff as well.

Here is the trailer they are referring to in the above video. Yeah, that sure sounds like Nier. (I also should probably get around to starting a new playthrough of Nier Replicant someday, since I never finished it [Steams says I played it for around 20 hours, as of June 2025], and then play Nier Automata, since I haven't touched that one at all, yet.)
