So, just like FFXIV?

You are conflating copyright and patents. Copyright is protection for the expression of an idea, like the art design. This is a patent issue, which is a protection of how something works.

If somehow I patent a vague mechanic like “a method of selecting weapons with the directions of an analogue stick or mouse, presented as an 8 direction on screen circle.” Then I could sue Red Dead Redemption and Batman Arkham, despite there being no copyright infringement with whatever game I made with that feature.

The production values are good, and it’s generally entertaining, but I just can’t cope with the gaps in logic and the seemingly deliberate attempts to make it conflict with the Alien films.

I’d rather re-watch the Red Letter Media review than the film itself.

We must be thinking of different films…

How do they detect it?

Are we talking commercial VPN like Nord or Proton? What about something like Tailscale to connect to your home network?

For me, console gaming was for when my desktop rig was doing a video export or 3d render. It was when I wanted to sit on the couch and not be too invested in what I was playing with.

Dune?

I haven’t read the books. Are they still in contact with Earth?

Great analysis, but you’re making it way more complicated than it is.

We are entrenched with the Gregorian calendar. The same way we are entrenched with the 12/24hr clock, decimal counting system, etc.

Any planet that needs a calendar will have their own based on the planet’s orbit and rotation, but they will still be tied to the earth calender for as long as they are in contact with earth.

I think the Botting of streams to game the royalties is the bit they don’t like.

Obviously it would be a beach of t&cs

Sure. Substitute “Lemmy” for whatever fediverse service it is mingling with.

If threads is incorporated into the larger fediverse, sure you’ll get a bump in dau, but threads will eventually dominate the user base. Then if they devide to cut ties with Lemmy sites, the fediverse basically loses 90% of engagement overnight.

Oh yea? Well, why doesn’t Ross, the larger of the friends, simply eat the other friends?

I love the Commandos series. Looking forward to this one.

I hoped the Stargate commandos clone would help scratch the itch, but it wasn’t very good

I remember Todd McFarlane used to hide spider icons on the cover of Spider-Man covers. I loved looking for them. It’s such a simple little Easter egg.

Do you have any tips for writing professional documentation? I want to do some for my workplace but it’s hard to know where to start, how to arrange it, etc

Did you think graves were perpetual?

I’m sorry to bake your noodle on this one, but when you get buried you’ll get 6 years tops before the site is recycled for the next person.

What are the chances that Crowdstrike started using ai to do their update deployments, and they just won’t admit it?

That’s kind of why they are successful though, right? They were the ones that figured out how to supply games digitally for a profit, which required a way to prevent people from sharing the product for free. This was previously done with CD keys, but the advent of the internet rendered that mostly ineffective.

I think one of those nice Attenborough documentaries. Wasn’t there one that showcased the Earth? Seems like a nice gesture to put that forward.

You’d rather have 2 middle men for your ticket purchase?
