Penal Code 647(j) is California’s invasion of privacy law, which makes it a crime for a person to view the inside of a bathroom via a camera.

But these things do have value.

Except that with cards or blind bags, you are left holding an object. It has value because there is a possibility that you can recoup your loss by selling or trading it to somebody else. You can’t usually do that with loot box items. If I get a blue grade skin for a character I’m never going to use, can’t trade or…

Well, keeping duplicates is also implied, I just listed what I’d like to be able to do with it, and cover the bases of what we can do with real world items.

What I’d do to fix loot boxes. Just going to use Overwatch as an example.

If you pay real world money for a random chance at an item with no intrinsic value, that is bad because it triggers your brain the way gambling does.

Buying them with gold.. which is also a “surprise” lol. 

She’s not wrong that the mechanics of loot boxes are the same as blind bags and, for that matter, trading card packs, which have been around since baseball cards.

You can enter “NIGHTMARE” as your name to unlock the hardest mode immediately 

When it’s also technically a crime.. no, it’s not. 

Which is why they kicked him out instead of having him arrested (which could still happen to the camera operator, though I doubt anybody wants to actually press charges.) That doesn’t mean Twitch should just overlook it.

Yes. Let’s just give celebrities that break the fucking law on camera a pass. That seems good.

First or not, I’m fairly sure breaking the law on camera should be grounds for an instant, permanent ban.

Honestly? No, nor should we. Banning someone for violating a particular service’ TOS is one thing- you are agreeing to play by their rules when you sign up, with the knowledge that the service has the right to kick you out for bad behaviour.

The right call is to ban his ass forever. If he moves and takes his fans with him, oh well- he’ll inevitably get banned there too. And I would imagine people that only ever watch one streamer are rare anyway.

I don’t know in this case. I mean, he is a HUGE piece of garbage and if it comes out that he was in posession, I wouldn’t be surprised. But it would be INCREDIBLY dangerous to use that to fake an attack, like his life would be over if he is found to have done that. And to what end? What would he gain?

And where do you put this “more” if you’re nearly out of physical space for it to go?

The second amendment exists because the founding fathers knew this would happen eventually. It was inevitable. But things will have to get to “Venezuela” levels before it happens.

I loved the original Secret of Mana; played it many times. Then I played a fan translation of SD3. It’s just as fun and quite a bit bigger. You’ll love 3 if you liked SoM. 

What I did was take the controller apart, spread gorilla glue in a thin layer on the plastic and then re-laid the rubber on it and let it dry. Then cut off any excess, since GG tends to spread out a bit.
