Lol I really like that as a character angle for a less-than-good Witcher type. ‘Selling’ dead monster parts as a coded message that YOU’RE the top monster in these parts now, and expect tribute.

Hey, I’m a lawyer, but I never claimed to be a good one :)

My typo is hardly worth that kinda slam, so I mixed the two up (common mistake), doesn’t change that it’s just as easy to protect your rights by writing a letter permitting use than it is to write one prohibiting it. Go fly a kite.

All it takes to preserve your right is to take measures to prevent other people from using it in a way hostile to your right... in other words, use without your permission is a problem, use with your permission is fine. To avoid eroding their rights, all MGM would have to do is send this guy a letter saying “hey, we…

So that popped up in your YouTube algorithm this week too, huh? :p

Missed opportunity to not release Sexy Beasts the same day as BEASTARS Season 2. BEASTARS Season 1 was pretty good, and I bet that you’d get a few folks curiously tuning into Sexy Beasts after binging Season 2, since it also features a sexy rabbit! 

Not only is the game very laggy (on PS4), but the lag seems to have pronounced AI and ability consequences. If I commit the unpardonable transgression of dying in a boss fight, I can expect to have to run around for a good 15 or 20 seconds while my character and enemies fully render before I can meaningfully start…

I have a second cousin of some sort that’s in the “irrigation business” in southeastern Washington. I was chatting with them several years ago about a drought season that was hitting norther Oregon pretty badly, further down the Columbia drainage, asking him what that meant for eastern Washington irrigation. “Not a…

How can you write something so brave, and also so true? 

Not a mask in sight, either. Ghouls 😡

I understand corruption, even though I don’t condone it: get power, use it for enrichment. But when I read about powerful figures and their circles continuing to support or kickback to their flunkies, after they’ve gone down and can’t really be politically useful any longer, and in a way that actively jeopardizes the…

That’s fair, but what I’m saying is... the idea that “oh, you can flicker lights by assigning light levels to letters and coding a text string” is not the sort of creative work that needs to be re-worked every time a new creator wants to make a flickering light. If I’m writing a story that involves lights flickering,…

It seems like such a small complaint in an otherwise impressive package... but the weapon durability thing is literally the main reason I skipped BotW. The Zelda franchise as a whole never included quite enough RPG elements for me, feeling like it locked power progression behind advancing the plot rather than fighting…

This is cute and fun. But also, really drives home how unique video games and software are as creative mediums, compared against written works. If I published a book about wizard schools which involved some Harry Potter phrasing and terms, maybe everyone’s got a Patronus or Avada Kedavra!s or whatever... that would be…

Why wasn’t there a Sunday Comics on 06/13? Did the toxic comments and in-fighting finally kill the spot?

The path taken between the kids that were good at selling Girl Scout cookies, and the desperate adults now in over their heads with multi level marketing, is short, straight, and well trodden.

If the game was developed for PS5, with no intent to port to PS4 until the 11th hour (or, 13th, since this is after release?)... what’re the odds that the PS4 version will be plagued with Cyberpunk-level optimization issues?

I’m not the biggest expert on Souls games, but I do like how WEIRD and subtle the plot elements always are, as you drift through the game more carried by a spooky vibe than a real overt story. GRRM writes good fiction, but I wonder if the story and world are going to be found in item descriptions and subtle visual…

I’m no expert, but is the user (content developer) “uploading music” even infringement, if secondary users enjoying it aren’t buying that content and the first user isn’t generating ad revenue? Or, do Roblox creators sell their games?
