This is kinda like going into a thread about BLM and talking about how sometimes cops get killed too.

Honestly, this is a case where it doesn’t really matter. I’m pretty sure the creators never intended for Ramlethal to be African since she’s specifically a clone of a white American woman named Aria Hale, and there’s zero African cultural stuff involved in her character. She speaks in a slight monotone because she’s…

Well, each of the Valentine sisters is a clone of Aria Hale, a white, red-headed American woman, but they seem to be based on different types of fashion, to me. The original Valentine was a gothic lolita, Ramlethal is a gyaru (tanned and bleached), Elphelt is a bride, and Jack-O’ is... rockabilly, I guess? She dresses…

I suspect that it’s from their parent companies.

Unilateral support for the Israeli ethno-state is basically baked into American politics at this point.

People should check out No one lives under the lighthouse. It’s $5 on Steam and perfectly captures the PS1 survival horror aesthetic.

Yeah, but this isn’t trying to make it look “better” it’s trying to make it look like real dash cam footage.

For those curious about the historical Yasuke, not to rain on anyone’s parade, but only about three years of his life were actually documented, and only minimally. Still a pretty interesting story.

The degree to which people know nothing about trademarks is kind of staggering.

There’s no court involved. This is about a trademark filing to the US Patent and Trademark Office. And trademark holders are obligated to actively defend their trademarks or they’ll lose them.

This isn’t a lawsuit, it’s a counterfiling to the USPTO opposing the trademark filing, and trademark holders are legally obligated to defend their trademarks or they’ll lose them. That’s how it works.

Gotta disagree with you, chief.

On the flip side, you have to wonder if the game would exist at all if they hadn’t secured an exclusivity deal. Mistwalker hasn’t exactly had a stellar track record, and their last two mobile games were both shuttered within a year of launch.

I think their real fingers often have number two under the nails.

They’ll probably continue making OWL skins, it just won’t be attached to the MVPs in any way. Or maybe they’ll see fit to return the previous Atlantic / Pacific themed skins, which were only available for a limited time.

Phrases like that can get thrown around so often and so casually that after a while they lose all meaning and just become “generic insult words.” Very rarely do people use them literally. “Eat shit and die” and the like have been around forever, but nobody expects the recipient to follow through with the suggestion.

In Overwatch you can earn lootboxes in game or you can buy them directly. There are no keys or incubators, you just grind to earn them and open them, or you buy them and open them.

I can all but guarantee that it's because gacha games are legally required to disclose drop rates.

Okay so the solution to loot box exploitation in games is to give them out for free and instead sell keys to open them instead. But you can earn the keys for free, too, in a limited, grindy way!

Just to add, Sinatraa dropped out of highschool to live in a team house when he was like 16 years old.
