Incels are involuntarily celibate. If you turn it into a lifestyle and you choose to be it as like a point of pride, you’re not incel, you’re volcel with just a bunch more steps.

People always say they want smaller games, but then when the games come out people complain they are not larger.

“I was mad, because if they meant sex worker, then why didn’t they just write ‘sex worker!’” she said. “I’m not a sex worker myself, but it opened my eyes to how it sucks for sex workers to get a bank account.”

If it’s a field which may not be legal in every country their cards are able to be used in, they would risk getting in legal trouble so they just deny. Similar to how dispensaries in legal states can’t accept plastic and weren’t able to use banks for the longest time. 

And why he never got a response.

It’s not a protected work, though you could claim certain non-derivative elements as copyright, such as original characters. It looks as even the main characters are supposed to be descendants of characters from the original LotR, though, so he’s most likely going to get his ass handed to him via counter-suit.

He copyrighted the name in 2017 and sent the Tolkien estate a copy for review. So they had time to hand it off to the showrunners to use as inspiration before they aired a single episode in 2020.

50 Shades of Grey was Twilight fanfic that the author just replaced all the names in and published.

Because law. Legally speaking, any wholly new elements of creative work would be under copyright, but when it comes to fan fiction, it would be incredibly messy.

I agree, but we also have to admit that Gary served his sentence and is soon to be a free man, and apparently also had good behaviour in prison. He is no Robin Hood or Saint, but we can at least hope he has learned his lesson, while still seeing Nintendo’s pursue as deliberately harsh.

Team Xecuter specifically was known for being predatorial. They sold hardware in places such as Latin America (where I happen to be from) and preyed upon people who thought it’d just let them play Switch games for free, instead, their hardware was ransomware that would brick your Switch if you didn’t pay a monthly…

Remember kids:

It’s definitly an obvious outcome to doing something criminal like this. So it’s definitly a “play stupid games, win stupid prizes” thing.

But at the same time, I don’t think the punishment is suffient or ethical either. The whole thing is just depressing on so many levels, lol.

This man committed a crime and confessed to it. There’s no debate there, and he served an appropriate amount of time behind bars.

Religious quote - check

Never said I agree with Nintendo’s stance. Just that they are very VERY clear on what type of videos they don’t want people profiting off of and this guy consciously and knowingly decided to put time and effort into making (and trying to monetize) those types of videos anyway.

companies want people to buy and enjoy their products, but only on their terms.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

That’s very possible, but they’re keeping their cards VERY close to their chest on this game - we barely understood the core game mechanics until a couple weeks ago, and I don’t think we fully grasped the scope of the game or the core of the story until this trailer, both of which are wild to consider a month from a…

Anyone calling this DLC needs to play Majora’s Mask for goddam homework and turn in a paper why they were wrong tomorrow.
