If he’s grown enough to literally profit off of his work, he’s grown enough to be judged for how he uses his platform. The irony of hearing you say that personal attacks against him are unwarranted when the initial act of this story was him attacking the existence of others as unnatural is... telling. In the worst…

Different areas celebrate Pride at different times. There isn’t one established “Pride month.”

He doesn’t have to whip out the rainbow flag here. The magic of the internet is that it is always free and safe to keep your fucking mouth shut. He should try it.

That presumes that the reason why we get cliffhangers is because Netflix is not curbing the writers. The reality that is often discussed across episodic television is that writers must write cliffhangers because there is no rhyme or reason to when, why, or how they will be notified of a renewal. Writing a clean ending…

Except you can reliably binge through an entire season of a show that is leaving Netflix in a week. That may not be the case with many games.

I don’t remember the last time any photoshoot put MTS into a swimsuit that DIDN’T spill out of every potential crevice. Take the Sports Illustrated cover as an example:

You forgot to tell them to stay in their lane while ignoring this is their lane. Where’s the fair and balanced journalism that we were promised would take every crackpot opinion seriously, am I right? Ugh, it’s not like the old days when Gawker Media was harrassing Peter Thiel over his call-boys and sharing Hulk…

I’m fat and gaming chairs have higher weight loads, more customizable features, and the arm-guards are optional. For the obese and disabled, gaming chairs are surprisingly incredibly adaptive.

should’ve copied it and put it all out on the internet to help revolutionaries worldwide resist american imperialism committed a crime which would get you put in a military prison where you get 1 hour of sunlight and human contact a day, all to provide questionable Intel to an unspecified group of people.

Honestly, I was really hoping that they went the other direction with the leadup... that instead of getting Necro-Beholders, we got progressively closer to the Uncanny Valley... smarter, more human predators and playing with the idea of victim vs predator like the game Prey does with its mimics. The idea that I was…

You mean the games that OTHER people make? And grant them the right to sell as part of charitable events? Those games?

Honestly, as someone who has read the books... the characters and worlds are really fascinating beyond the flavor text of the cards... but if they were going to show people that maybe start with a TV show to onboard people and end the first season with a teaser of the many other worlds/planeswalkers beyond the story…

Actually in the US, federal policy states that until she hits 18 any bank accounts opened must be custodial accounts which belong to her but must be approved with a parent or guardian as manager (with not only complete access but the right of refusal to limit the minor’s access to those funds!) and she cannot reclaim…

Likely yes. While the game mechanics are not copyrightable, the visuals including the environment, the UI, and the visual FX are. The first threshold for discussing if a work is an infringing derivative (and therefore liable for suit) is the common sense question: “Would most people and assume it was adapted from the…

Tributes require attribution. If they were attributing, Black TikTok creators wouldn’t be so upset. The single largest resounding thought among Black content creators discussing this issue is not that they are repeating dances/songs/whatever, but that they are doing so in a way that misrepresents themselves as the…

Copyright infringement isn’t defined only by the illegal sale of infringing products but also the potential for the infringing product to reduce opportunities for profit. If I listen to music in a free game and by the end of it decide I’m exhausted of it and not interested in hearing it again by legal means that…

She has not exited academia. It is inappropriate to frame it as if her refusal of this position, particularly while still holding a prestigious position at University of Maryland, “hurts students.” By that same logic her accepting the position hurts students who would have otherwise been under her care at Maryland.

Yes, even more so then. In Japan we practice a system translated as White Label studios, where whole studios exist to quietly provide work to other studios and not even be mentioned in the credits. White Labels have are seen as less socially acceptable in the wake of many game dev scandals since, but this time would…

I do AI research and will probably be getting one.

As someone who started their career working at one of the big Japanese houses, this is an incredibly rosy-tinted picture that ignores a lot of the history of Japanese game development (and our larger culture). Buckle up, I’m going to take you on a little ride through the seedier parts of Japanese game dev…
