I have no formal training in copyright law, but have studied it quite a bit to ensure I don’t rune afoul of it. Scot’s work is a bit more transformative than the average Youtube copyright claim stories I read, but the degree to which something is transformative is important.

I would be hand-held mode only, but if they really felt the need to I’m sure they could emulate 2 screens if you held the portable screen side ways. They’d then have some crazy adapter that lets you snap the two sides of the controller on in portrait orientation... this would only be to play downloadable DS games, and…

Of course there was. Horrible things being done to cats is a cornerstone of European history, punctuated, in my opinion, by the rat-borne bubonic plague. Anyhow, Romans still hate cats and still doe terribly cruel things to them, unless that’s changed since I saw the “Cats of Rome” documentary.

Honestly, if I were to put something like this in my game, it would have cost $100.

I never said nay of those shows are bad. I was just using their existence to refute the notion that there was a new trend where “anime takes fan service as its subject.”

What would happen if the car just braked, depolyed all airbags, and let fate take it’s course? Would the be considered actively prioritizing the driver? What if there were also external airbags to save orphans?

I’m glad we didn’t follow that same logic when HD TV and Bluray first came out. “Early-adopter” is a code word for people who don’t mind ludicrously overpaying to test out incomplete technology, and will be more than happy to buy it again in 3 years once their launch technology is outdated and inadequate. You’ll…

If he’s still hungry because he doesn’t stop to eat, he shoudl use the money he doesn’t have time to spend to hire someone to feed him while he draws.

“According to The Mainichi and Asahi News, Yasuda passed away on October 5 due to an illness. She retired in 2008, but returned to work on 2013's The Wind Rises, her last film.”

“We’ve increasingly seen anime that takes fan service as its subject...”

It’s not nearly as bad in borther hood because they don’t drag it out for 3 episodes and justice is swiftly served.

Some of the tensions from the war between Japan and Korea are still on-going. Japan was allowed to keep a small number of the islands it conquered, one of which used to belong to Korea. Said island is now Japan’s main source of many natural resources, like Iron, so they can’t be nice and give it back without…

If said women were just an illusion it would be impossible to allude to them, so no apology would be necessary. Unless you want to make an illusory allusion.

What if the spider is being controlled by an ant? (Specifically a yellow ant.)

I use the term permadeath, but not when discussing rogue-likes. To me “permadeath” has a nuance that you have to carry on with the game without being able to get that character back. Think Fire Emblem on classic difficulty. This is not true in most rogue-likes. You die, the game ends.

I imagine it will be something like the elite team of 3 hunters and one palico has the mountain pass on the road to main city blocked off by an elder dragon attack and it’s now a race against time to make it to the city so they can get the dragonator ready. For sake of the movie the wyvernian look out guy has his…

Looking as plastic as possible has always kind of been their thing. I’m pretty sure they’re pretending to be robots in about half their videos.

The best way to deal with backlogs is to understand the truth: there is no back log. Yes, I do buy games faster than I can play them. This is the truth; I won’t lie to myself; there’s nothing wrong with this. Having realized this, my backlog of 100 games became a list of the 5-10 games I intend to play this year,…

I was going to say that I could swear this site had run an article on this before and that rather than being relatively unknown it was just so long ago we’d forgotten about it... But then as I read more it occurred to me that I’d actually read about it in the Secondlife Herald back when I worked at a library.

I was happily using my Logitech Cordless Rumble pad for years. Any game that supported game pads supported it. Then one day big games stopped supporting “game pads” and instead very specifically started supporting “xinput” or whatever... so I had o start running a program to spoof and convert my generic controller…
