“I’m usually pretty suspicious when I see a floating Seelie (a green spirit that leads players to treasure) in the Genshin overworld, since they usually lure me away from other pieces of treasure or resources to collect.”

Sounds like she got all the Napoleon complexes riled up something fierce.

Dial down the hyperbole there, was it the best? No, was it “like a bad student film” please I went to film school I saw and MADE bad student films this was not that. We get it, you can’t let people enjoy things and have to just grump all over it, I feel kind of sorry for you.

Luke talked about the sacred texts in Last Jedi, those were definitely written texts. And there’s definitely examples of text here and there, as seen in the Galactic alphabet

It works better if you treat the whole lot as a single series, a la the MCU.

“If you made it through the entire series of Book of Boba Fett, you were treated to a terrible finale and a two-episode narrative diversion that derailed the entire premise of this being a show about Boba Fett. Enjoy!”

It’s fkn weird being a person who just enjoys things.

Happens in apartments with garages too. You’re paying more for that garage, and you put junk in it? You could store way more for less money a few blocks down the road at the self-storage. You never need any of it anyway, so what does it matter if it’s not right there?

Five years is the absolute most we’ve seen for any of the 1/6 insurrectionists, so far.

It’s believed that the large scale of Team-Xecuter’s decade-long operation, plus all the money they made and cost video game companies, is what caught the eye of the federal government.

Nintendo is doing just fine. Piracy should be a fine and probation it’s a monetary crime anyway. But whatever keeps the privatized prison system going, I guess.

This sounds like something the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund should get involved with.

My channel of five years, Operation Meatier, had just crossed the 20,000 subscriber mark when Bandai Spirits and Bandai Namco Entertainment threw copyright claims on every parody video we’d made overnight. This was in June. As of writing, my channel is still taken down and Bandai has never responded to any attempt at…

Thanks for your condescending explanation of a simple concept I am very familiar with.

The best part is that this kind of aggressiveness around copyright is what has led to Japan ceding ground to South Korea in basically all international pop culture spaces, and even then there’s an increasing amount of “anime” being made based on Korean webtoons and other stories. Of course, since Japanese corporate…

This isn’t surprising if you know their recent history. while everyone likes to say that Japan is a sophisticated country with smart decisions for many things (their healthcare is pretty damn impressive) a lot of Japan’s systems are completely broken and so far very little has been done to fix them (teenage suicide is…

When it comes to “Why target such a small creator?” All I can think is that they’re using this as a stepping stone. They’re going to go for slow-pitch softball targets so that they can easily win. Winning cases sets up legal precedent to then target bigger entities.

Its in the article. Its a SLAAP lawsuit in all but name. Theyre suing him in a Japanese court, where the very idea of “fair use” doesnt exist, to try to get his channel taken down and financially ruin him out of .... petty spite? not really sure why. Especially to such a teeny tiny channel and not something like the…
