The story and work of Gary Bowser is pretty badass and would make for an interesting ama and event on lemmy. Here’s a recent article on Gary Bowser https://torrentfreak.com/gary-bowser-how-a-1980s-hacker-became-nintendos-nemesis-decades-later-230702/

Interesting story, and pretty sad at the end, the dude lost practically everything because of the fuckers at Nintendo. Heres his gofundme page if someone is interested in helping the guy out. https://www.gofundme.com/f/garyopa-restarting-his-life

I don't have too much sympathy for the guy. I mean if you're stupid enough to try and profit off of piracy that brazenly, that's what you get. If I know your real name you fucked up big time.

If 30% of his paycheck goes to Nintendo, does that also apply to donations?
