None of that justifies 5 cops firing 96 times. The criminal penalty for everything you described is not summary execution. Cops aren’t supposed to be executioners.

Also you get that bullet proof Italian reliability that Alfa Romeo is famous for.

Old is not an ethnicity. You may not know this, but all people age. Way to tell on yourself, though.

Well, I thought that “white apartheid” covered that, but you’re right. Having a father who owned a part of an emerald mine during apartheid and running out of storage for the cash (literally) is quite an important part.

it’s hardly generic, as deserts go, and certainly not cheap to film there. 

You okay?

The unwashed reddit/tweetosphere needs to understand that THEY are not representative of the other millions who play videogames and aren’t terminally online. This kind of thing isn’t FOR THEM. The devs didn’t put that stuff in to insult your intelligence, they put it in for the normies and there are way more of them…

I know humanity is debased. It’s just there’s nothing to fuck. The only people that might actually fuck the bucket are probably the ones that want to be able to say they stuck their dick in it.

Oh come now, they didn’t “lose.” A Trump appointed judge dismissed the case, which Disney would have anticipated and which they will have a response for, and the case will continue. A case being dismissed due to a lack of standing means that it wasn’t even considered on its merits, so Disney in no way “lost.” The…

Not just a cultural shift, but literally rebuilding vast swathes of infrastructure. Good luck trying to reverse a century of sprawl.

It’s all prudes until we can romance monsters.

Agreed. BG3 is one of my new favorite games, but the overly thirsty companions and jiggle/dangle physics were just too much.

Thank fuck honestly, that’s refreshing. Not every damn rpg needs a dating sim built in.

Trademark /= copyright.

Stop referencing trademark law in a discussion about copyright.

Copyright is automatically granted for creative works and, for companies, lasts for 95 years.

On top of what Nilus said, they’re selling the game in America, therefore American copyright law applies to those sales. For sales that take place in Japan, Japanese copyright law applies.

Just changing the genre is not parody. There’s a reason Pooh: Blood and Honey couldn’t be released until the original A.A. Milne stories entered the public domain.

We’re not talking about trademark law, we’re talking about copyright. And this comes—at the very least—perilously close to being similar enough to be mistaken for Game Freak’s brand and IP, which actually is something they can be sued for.

I get it, but some of those creatures look startlingly close to their obvious Pokemon counterparts. Like, infringing-upon-copyright-close - and them running with the “Pokemon with guns” thing and acknowledging Nintendo’s ability to be litigious tells me they are trying to dance on the razor’s edge. Curious to see if…
