It’s interesting to see artists reacting this way, but these techniques are also being deployed for things like coding.

I guess I have two things to say here

That is what the article implies though.

So are we just defining ‘cringe’ as ‘deeply mediocre’ now?  

Your question is pretty much entirely irrelevant. It could be in total legally his, and he could have all the legal right in the world to post it as he did... and unless he’s willing to spend a whole lot of money and time fighting it in court, and dealing with YouTube... it doesn’t matter.

Oh....you obviously haven’t stumbled over the Threadnaught. Linking not to the latest part of it, but from the 16th it was day 1,168 of Greg’s ‘coverage’ of it. Funny story in there too, he got licensed to practice law in Texas (he was already a lawyer elsewhere) because Vic fans kept telling him the laws in Texas…

Yeah its not exactly a unique design. Its incredibly generic.

I hate to break it to you, but for every one of these stories like this, theres dozens if not hundreds of others that happen where they don’t get caught (or they get caught but no one pays attention so there are no consequences).

I’d argue that ‘power corrupts’ is the quote that is easily misinterpreted.  As with that quote/idea the blame lies not on people, but on power itself.

So there a problem with ‘but the police do have a duty to take threats seriously’.

I’m struggling to understand the ‘problem’ with the quote? You don’t seem to identify it. Nothing of what you said, actually goes against anything the quote says both on its own, and in context of Herbert and his writing.

was just ordered by a jury in Texas to pay another $45.2 million in punitive damages for spreading the lie that the mass shooting, which killed 20 first-graders and several teachers, was a hoax. That brings the total Jones owes to $49.3 million after the jury awarded the parents $4.1 million in actual damages in the…

Des anyone else find it intensely sad that a dev abandoned their passion project for a quick trend-riding cashgrab and now that’s what Kotaku reports on?

Its amazing that you managed two whole paragraphs and couldn’t manage even a single sentence that stated something correct. That is quite the accomplishment. You didn’t even stumble into something by accident.

The first part is exceedingly easy to grasp. The filmmaker is making the statement that this upcoming film is the first time we’re able to see D&D monsters and whatnot on screen. And that’s really not true. Because of multiple D&D feature films that exist *already*. (To say nothing of the animated series.) And given…

I’m struggling to get where you’re coming from on a lot of this.

imagine 5 innings into a Major League Baseball game the coordinators of the league declared that games only last for 7 innings, not the standard 9.

Whether or not it’s acceptable or not is a totally different conversation...
