Whoa wait wtf, they blocked a mushroom community? I didn’t hear about that

Smart, might as well shut down this whole thread then as we’re discussing piracy here too, right?

Discussing piracy isn’t illegal. It would be one thing if they were hosting pirated content, but they don’t even link to anything.

If that were to change I’d understand the decision, but this just seems silly to me.

Yes, that’s why CP is banned. It being distributed and sold encourages the further making of it, thus leading to more instances of children being abused.

That’s actually a perfect analogy. Don’t eat hotdogs you’ve found on the ground.

Growing up my dad would always do a silly amount of research into the best video games to get my brother and I. And they were always relatively unknown - games like Zack and Wiki, and ofc Monster Hunter. So for my 10th birthday I got Monster Hunter Tri, that’d just released that year. He also bought a classic controller for me, as he’d heard that it was borderline necessary.

I loved the game to death. I’d literally just wander around Moga Woods and live off the land for as long as possible. I ofc sucked at the game tho, getting totally walled by some of the first monsters like Qurupeco. But I didn’t really care as I’d just go back to messing around in the woods.

Eventually I hit a wall so hard that it led me to quitting the game. Gobul. I rage quit and didn’t fully come back to the franchise until years later. I would play on and off for a while, but it took years for me to fully get into the series. I had a 3ds and saw that a demo for 3U was available, so I tried it out. I loved it, and immediately went out and bought both 3U and 4U. Been playing ever since.

I’m actually playing through Tri for the first time since then now that the servers are up, and having a blast!
