There’s a corollary here that I think is very interesting:

Hmmm... So you’re saying the solution is to let teenagers’ hormones build up and then send them off to college? What could possibly go wrong!

Even if you’re pro-life, the legal grounds of this particular bill are dubious at best. Supporting the bill is supporting the bill’s language. In particular, you are giving the greenlight for other states to pass bills that effectively ban all guns using the same dubious logic as this one does.

I’m not even a lawyer and I find this dubious. In this case, the only trademark is the name “Metroid.” But since this is a guide for that trademarked property, it should definitely fall under fair use. Otherwise there are thousands of “The Unofficial Guide for X” books that are being illegally sold.

This is all stylized artwork based on the game the guide is about. Doesn’t matter that there are newer Metroid games.

“How dare you draw a picture to help guide people through a visual medium!”

I feel bad for all the people who worked on inventions for over a decade, only to get a patent for 20 years. But I guess three years to work on art deserves much more protection than an invention, am I right?

Changing laws requires a change of winds to happen, and the only way you change those winds is by pointing things out. Which is what this article does, which makes it far from pointless.

At the same time, realize the particular issue at hand: Nintendo is threatening legal action against someone for providing a guide. Imagine Ford suing all the Youtube channels on how to change the oil in an F-150. The guides themselves should be protected. The difference here is the artwork, which while original, is…

In Europe, EU Directive 2009/24/EC expressly permits trading used computer programs.

Of course, courts are also split on whether shrink-wrapped EULAs should be enforceable in the first place. Consider this: How can a company legally justify denying you access to something after you purchased it? There is a reason companies almost always sue under DMCA rather than breach of contract.

Right. EU courts have already said that when you purchase software, you own it. Just because a company tells you that what you actually bought was a perpetual license doesn’t make it so. US courts have, as far as I’m aware, never ruled on this.

This is one of the reasons I was always so excited about the switch to SSDs. Long preview load times has annoyed me forever!

...But hopefully not too soon!

Ah, wow, this reminds me of some head-canon I came up with for the characters.

*Woosh*

Transmog, anyone?

Also found this in the survey: More time spent in the water predicted drowning! =O

That message on repeat for 40 minutes!

As your edit points out, there will most likely be a time travel component to this. Jormungandr says he already knows Atreus after they first meet. And there are allusions that Tyr may actually be Kratos. Both of these things suggest that Kratos and Son are punched back in time along with Jormungandr. And after Atreus…
