It's more of a comment on certain companies hiring people who are ill-equipped for jobs based on diversity focused hiring practices, and how Japanese companies don't fall into that trap while western companies do.

A story about poo is still a story, it's just not an important one.
Just as this one wasn't important, but it's still a story.
I think you are confusing "news" (which this isn't) with a "story" (which this is).
If you want to pretend you are operating at a higher level than the rest of the people on a Nintendo website, you might want want to pick a better argument 🤫
It became a "story" when a television news program followed up on it and actually went to a source (Nintendo) to get clarification on it. Then they produced...low and behold...a STORY on it!
I would have thought our resident NintendoLife legal expert would have understood that 😔
I don't believe that for a second. Maybe "official" markets have stopped the practice, and possibly temporarily, but that crap will still be available somewhere.
Life lesson: Never believe a single thing you hear the Chinese government announce!
This film was banned in many Western countries for the extreme acts of animal cruelty and abuse captured on film, with audiences calling it "disgusting".
However, it was actually quite popular upon its initial release in China, with most of the audience agreeing that the movie "looked delicious!"
He is calling the dead Chinese people (who number in the tens of thousands) "Pokemon", because he is getting his racial caricatures confused. That's the worst part.
As others have mentioned, this article does a horrible job at explaining how to get this to work.
First, this works best on a flat island without too many cliffs. If you spawn one of those places, return to your main island, get a new ticket, and try again.
Do this around 730-8pm, at a time when there are no butterflys. Just ground insects.
Clear off the island as stated, then begin to just run laps. Go to the rocky cliffs on the coast to scare away wharf roaches, and run around the rest of the island chasing away everything else. Eventually a tarantula will appear, catch it, and then run more laps scaring away useless bugs until another appears.
I cleared two Islands, and to max out on tarantulas each time (just counting time to catch them) took about 35-40min. So count on spending around an hour total in clearing an island/catching all tarantulas.
Another thing. The poorly worded article makes it seem like there are several tarantulas crawling around the island. This is not true. I think in the nearly 2hrs I spent on two islands, maybe three times there were 2 tarantulas on screen at once. Usually one single tarantula appeared every minute or two, but that involved me constantly running loops on the map scaring away the other insects.
The Turok price was high (I bought it on sale for like $8), but those games had a lot more work put into improving them than this Doom64 release will have.

Since there are no, and won't be, any FPGA N64's in the near future (or possibly ever), this is fine.

They are essentially taking pre-orders for the game and ensuring that they are selling enough copies to make a re-release viable.
