Modders have no copyright claims to their content - they may have intellectual property rights, but the law hasn’t spoken on that. Zenimax seems to support granting intellectual property rights, but Nintendo, for example, has included disclaimers stating that any user generated content related to Mario Maker is the…

I get that, but they’re ultimately not protected by copyright law. Zenimax, the publisher of Fallout 4, is. Whether mods can be considered as the intellectual property of their creators or not is currently undecided, as no case has gone to court to set precedent, and it is unlikely that any will soon, as the legal…

Modders did not create the game, nor are they collecting payment for the mods they are creating in their freetime, most of which simply tweak existing game engine settings. Modders adore the PC environment precisely because it is a free-for-all environment, yet simultaneously condemn the Bethesda mod site for being too…

“The gimmick: There’s the stat progression, which might be easier to swallow if it weren’t so dependent upon RNG. And then there’s something way more interesting: a keyword-based conversation system in which you can learn important words like “wild rose” and “mythril,” then bring them up to other people in order to…

I didn’t notice the silly top slab in the film. Don’t like it.

That said, this image lacks depth, and ignoring the rule of thirds did not work here. It’s flat, busy, and there’s no focal point. It hurts my brain.

Haha, we seem to be saying the same things simultaneously.

I would disagree - though I’m not personally familiar with this games asset architecture, the file size would be mere KBs - just a string of instructions which call assets to specific coordinates- the assets themselves take up HD space, but said assets are not stored in each stage file. If they are, Nintendo seriously…

These files can’t be that large - we’re probably talking mere kilobytes per stage - there’s no reason Nintendo shouldn’t be able to host billions of stages. On that note, perhaps there is simple reason for files being deleted - I’m sure Nintendo implemented exhaustive design fail-safes, but there may be instances in…

A little washed out/over filtered/unevenly filtered, don’t you think?

I’ve enjoyed the new titles as a whole, but I agree with your criticisms.

The Anakin of the prequels was a petulant and disobedient jerk from the start, which colored his “downfall” with all the tension and gravity of watching a piece of toast land butter side down. Any efforts to establish him as an actual likeable, relatable person are welcome, and I think that’s precisely what they’re…

I agree - it’s obvious (provided that the viewer is familiar with leprosy, of course). “Urban legend” is definitely a misnomer here (as is “journalist”).

Just watched it a few days ago - no instances of the word leper, or leprosy. It’s entirely implied.

I actually just watched it a few days ago for the first time since it released in the US, and while the word leper was not in the film, it was clear as day that they were lepers.

Amen. I’d sooner describe it as “ass” than “classic.”

Did you have to describe equal opportunity crotch kicks that way?

Play less, be more productive. Spend less time reading about video games and associated culture.

Yes, you can knock it. It’s a horribly inefficient usage of space. Current American style city planning, on a space ark? With four lane highways featuring ghost cars that have no collision detection? If they were going to make a housing block with buildings you can’t enter, they might as well have been tiered…

This is precisely my reaction to the majority of “articles,” only I mutter it under my breath and close the browser tab. Perspective - people are lacking it.
