Thanks, that makes more sense!

Ah, I missed that their beef wasn’t about charging people for songs, but rather for profiting off of infringement of copyright. That makes more sense. 

I’m not familiar with Roblox, but why would a user (a player?) upload music to it? And why/how would that cost them money? And why would NMPA care?

I can see how you could tell an interesting global-sized story from the perspective of multiplayer matches, rather than treating a single player character as a superheroic protagonist. We’ll see if that’s ACTUALLY what they’re getting at though...

My high school friend was an indie film maker and I remember that we financed one of his films by selling investments like that (Long before the existence of Kickstarter or Fig or anything like that). Folks were invited to buy in for $200+, which would give them a producer credit but wouldn’t pay out anything unless th…

Ideally, everyone worldwide would be vaccinated in the near future. I do feel bad that less developed countries have suffered from poor vaccine supply and distribution. But I’m also happy that developed countries are putting their medical and disaster response infrastructure to good use for their people, and getting…

Who? 

I dunno, I think it would be fun and age accessible with smarter lightning? Everyone mobs around to try to crawl into the low parts of the island, so that lightning strikes those higher up on slopes... but water level keeps rising/rain keeps creating puddles, and everyone touching water gets zapped whenever lightning…

Man, the socialist bread lines I keep hearing about being just around the corner are NOT gonna be fun...

So you grow bigger, and the terrain includes elevation, but lightning DOESN’T strike the highest player, and there’s “no strategy to employ”?

I played the hell out of Ark back in 2015 and 2016, but it was just so disheartening to have spent weeks and months building infrastructure with a Tribe, only to have players in another time zone sweep through to raze everything to the ground while no one was logged in. The core gameplay of these sorts of games is…

Did you finish the article before posting your comment? Spoiler alert: they did? 

Revenge Porn, like Porn itself, is difficult to define in black and white terms, and not everyone “knows it when they see it” the same way like the Courts might pretend. If I had to choose between two extremes (publish whatever nudes without consent of anyone for any reason with no consequence; vs. cannot publish…

The “baby bar” (LSAT) is not a test you can “fail”... just perform poorly on. It also isn’t a knowledge-based test you can really study for, either, but rather an aptitude test. If you take it, and perform poorly on it, that’s a great reason to not go to law school! If you take it twice, and perform poorly a second…

A little hard to dredge up ten year old backer packages and ship spec articles, but no, it is absolutely not accurate to say that the features or gameplay I’m describing were driven by fan hype or my own imagination or projection. They were actual, exhaustively described game features used in the marketing and sale of…

The whimsical aesthetic is charming, I love DQs settings, but godDAMN is it getting harder and harder for me to pretend the DQ plots aren’t paper thin and written for 12 year olds. Final Fantasy games fall along a wide spectrum of maturity, DQ could stand to give it a shot.

I do things so that my boss doesn’t have to all the time, and found out very early that when he tells me to order people to do things, that means I should be the one ordering, not passing along that he ordered. It’s almost literally the whole point of middle management!

In the early 2010’s, I was caught up in the hype, bought in for a specific pirating ship model (the Cutlass) because of talks about tractor beams, docking rings, pvp ship boarding, ship mass and handling, thruster location, gunner pod fields of view, cargo capacity, etc etc... I’m their target sucker, I didn’t care if…

In my experience, the only times that judges let themselves get talked into letting children testify during custody disputes was in “rock and a hard place” cases where domestic violence, substance use, etc. issues made both homes seem dangerous and undesirable, and a fuller picture was needed about where the kid did…
