This looks good but it lacks that certain Cyberpunk shine. Cyberpunk was always the future as seen from the 1980's, well after the point that history took a sharp turn and upended what we had predicted. Some technological advancement out stripped the future predictions while some ended up no where close, no one…

Sounds like a mixed drink that tastes like Smarties and rubbing alcohol.  

If it’s trivial then disconnecting from Microsoft’s influence should be trivial as well if they can’t access the game they can’t moderate what happens on it.

Let’s take the Skyrim multiplayer mod at no point does the networking touch Betheseda, they can’t update it moderate how it’s played. If they did push a Skyrim…

Private has a whole host of meanings. You can reserve a private room for hosting a party at numerous restaurants. It’s private in that you can limit who has access to it. You are still bound by the rules of the restaurant and they can revoke your access to it at any time even if you paid for it to be private. Your usag…

You are completely missing the core detail. You are operating under the illusion that you OWN the Minecraft server. Microsoft has given you the tools to set up a Minecraft server, “private” essentially is saying you control basic access to it. Since Microsoft CAN moderate it means you’ve never really taken ownership…

Honestly this movie looks a lot like how virtually every TTRPG campaign I’ve played ends up going down. Spectacle and whimsy.

Led Zeppelin isn’t some accident for the trailer. Zep, Mountain Dew, Doritos, and Pizza are things that have historically been used by D&D players that they’ve become a cliche. I’m not sure…

It wouldn’t get very far. Especially since this is internationally available. If the capacity to moderate exists Microsoft is compelled to moderate. The whole “private server” excuse Microsoft put out only flies if said private servers were entirely unconnected from the home company.

I mean really think about this. IF…

So you are saying that if you solicit a child for sex in your home the government shouldn’t be allowed to interfere? Because it happened in your home? As much as you want to make it about ownership and privacy ,this is fundamentally what this is about and you are choosing to ignore that because it’s non-defensible.

Fan Fics are explicitly a violation of copyright, they are allowed to exist by many copyright holders because it drives engagement with the original work. But the original holder can absolutely shut down distribution of fan-fiction if they chose to. The key thing is they need to identify it first before they can…

Because it’s a pattern of behavior of a billionaire and head of several influential companies. It calls into question his leadership and very likely is something the board of Tesla would like to be aware of and this gives them cover since it’s from a publication.

I do like KOTOR 1 better for the story and some of the mechanics but I think I’ve replayed 2 more times. Thinking on it I think it’s how the overall game is a bit tighter getting around to places in 2, less backtracking so it’s less of a commitment to replay. The villains seem to have a better motivation and…

Did they ever fix that exploit that goes back to DS2?  

If they had intended to fix the bugs they would have fixed it by now. Clearly they think these bugs fit with how they expect the game to be played.

I just hope someone casts magic missile to attack the darkness.

This is pretty much how all my D&D games end up regardless of how serious we start out. I’m willing to bet Chris Pine tries to seduce a dragon to save the party at some point.

Because FASA’s early days were rife with stealing from other IP’s that translating to another medium is a potential nightmare of rights issues?

Back in my day Led Zeppelin was quintessential music to play while playing D&D. You’d have Zeppelin on along with you cases of Mountain Dew and Doritos and take out and you’d rock on into the wee hours of the morning.

Chris Pine as the bard is going to seduce the party’s way into and out of all the situations.

Yeah but he cause a massive kerfuffle after production was done with the set-builders. His scenery chewing was so intense that there wasn’t much for them to take down afterwards and it ran afoul of guild rules.  

He’s only calling them total hoes and thots because they won’t fuck him and he’s trying to neg them. He took to heart the conservative idea of a masculine face and got that square jaw.

I almost feel bad for Griffin a bit because she was raised in a conservative environment. Her family boycotted her own wedding because…
