Ah, but under the terms of the “smart contract” that the Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs use, whoever holds the NFT actually does have the IP rights for that particular Bored Ape! The means by which it got into any particular wallet are immaterial. “Code Is Law” working exactly as designed.

I legit ‘fuck yeah’ed when Kai’s gauntlet grabbed the ledge after the crash. Kai is awesome. Don’t much care for the other two, but if anything happens to Kai in the future I’ll be mad.

They haven’t owned the Hitman IP for years. They let IO Interactive keep it when they split off.

Yeah, holy shit.

“The death rate has actually gone UP on average among the unvaccinated”

Citation missing and required.

COVID has become less deadly over time because a significant percentage of cases are in people who have been vaccinated.

It’s going to be endemic as a human virus, that attacks you mildly so you live and spread it as far as possible,

I haven’t installed the pack yet, but I’m fairly certain Epic didn’t include the Neo and Trinity characters as part of it. Likeness rights are a bitch.

At this point I almost feel like ‘modding’ is moot. Mod tools in a shipped Unreal Engine game are pretty much just going to be the Unreal Editor with all of the assets of that specific game. A simplified suite of ‘mod tools’ for a game would be something that would take a sub team of the game to develop, and why…

Ah, yes, the ‘nearly unlimited liquidity’ of a marketplace that only approximately 400,000 people are actively engaged with, and that crashes every time anybody cashes out for amounts more than a few thousand dollars at once.

Fixed that for you.

I feel like they did Ingrid a little bit dirty this season.

It becomes suspicious when somebody buys a large quantity of stock when all public knowledge and indications are that the most likely direction for the stock to go for the foreseeable future is down.

There never has been that question. He built a shoddy product that eventually literally just developed a software glitch and no longer listened to external commands so just followed its terrible programming which was to consume biomass if there’s no fuel reserves nearby and to kill those it considered hostile.

Oh, it’s 100% dead. Straczynski just needs to keep the hope alive to keep people subscribed to his Patreon.

Hasn’t it been more or less public knowledge that when one of the Japanese Square Enix studios underperforms that they shift the sales expectations onto one of the Western development studios’ games and then blame them for the missed quarterly targets?

They own the developer, but they don’t own the IP. Manipulating the numbers to argue it made less money could mean paying less to the licensor (Disney).

You literally suggested splitting them into two groups and Matt running what amounts to two parallel yet interconnected campaigns simultaneously.

It might have been satisfying for you and your group to play that way, but I’m going to guess that you weren’t producing an actual show out of your play sessions on a weekly basis. You’d be effectively doubling Matt’s workload if they did alternating weeks, or doubling EVERYBODY’S workloads if you’re shooting both…

I feel like the article is, at best, premature? Like, I’m a casual fan of Critical Role, I watch the show but I don’t follow any of them on social media or read much ancillary promo stuff, and I had no idea that Marquet was in any way SWANA inspired based on what’s been presented in the show so far.
