Completely disagree. Stuff like the crow-people, the religion, all of that was fascinating, and without having to devote 30 minutes to having a character explain it to the slackjawed outsider added as a stand-in for the audience.

You absolutely don’t need to see any of the previous films. They’re all standalone.

Again, you’re talking about the War on Drugs, not drugs themselves.

We don’t in a culture that generally blames murder victims for their own victimization (unless you’re a black man murdered by a cop, of course.)

As a rule, I never believe people who say “I am an X” on the Internet (“I am a lawyer” generally translates to “I am a part time paralegal”). But your “using copyright law to stifle critical speech as long is it’s technically allowed is not only fine but laudable” idea DOES sound like something a lawyer would say.

The idea that the company simply must issue takedowns of every single video that uses a frame of their IP, lest they lose their copyright, is one of the more insidious false understandings on the Internet. That only applies to trademark usage, and even then is not as drastic as most people who like to defend shitty…

Sure ... but it doesn’t seem very comfortable or natural.

Ha, I was referring more to her posture.

What the hell is happening to her spine?

Learn to read. I said “90%” of the combat. Bosses are obviously the exception.

“you hadn’t played one of the more challenging FF”

Please, son.

I’m the biggest FF fan in the world, but tbh, most Final Fantasy games play themselves. 90% of any FF combat is just mashing attack.

“However, this is trying to tell me that I no longer own the movies/games I buy.”

Yup! And in the U.S. it’s absolutely a grey area. Most game companies now try to claim you’re only ever buying a single-use *license* for the game that can’t be resold, even when buying a physical product.

eBay can do what they want with their storefront. Also, it’s arguably illegal to sell the PS4’s in the first place. As the policy states, it could be seen as akin to taping a TV show and selling it. Not that I think it *should* be illegal, but our copyright law is pretty nightmarish.

He’s tweeted a couple things, but all of it banal stuff. I’m guessing there are legal issues

Well, an 86 average is hardly an objective masterpiece. In any case, my point was that, my strong disappointment with Act 2’s content aside (and I did cite a review, or an opinion piece in any case), there was nothing untoward about their development process or fulfillment of promises.

The family suing is the family of the victim, not the driver.

I very much disagree with Broken Age being anywhere close to a masterpiece (Rock Paper Shotgun’s take is near my own feelings, at least as far as the plot is concerned: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2015/04/29/bro…/) but I don’t think any of that has to do with the development process. I think it was fine, I think…

Ah, okay. So 25 years is not the maximum, it’s the minimum.

That’s fine, I don’t disagree at all that parole should be a possibility for nearly all criminals. Just weird to call it a life sentence if it’s a 25-year maximum sentence. But maybe I’m misunderstanding. Is is it a life sentence, with the possibility of parole at 25-years? Or are they guaranteed to be released in 25…
