While that’s obviously very sad and tragic the purpose of criminal justice should never be vengeance or an eye for an eye. It should be about rehabilitation and reintegration. Yes it’s awful that a life was lost but functionally removing another life from society for forever is hardly a good solution.

No, why would I give a shit? Let them die.

How much egg is gonna be on his face when he finds it one day behind a cabinet drawer?

I’m surprised they kept it up for so long honestly. It was very clear they had no fucking clue what they were doing. What with the nonsensical license that violated Github’s tos, the Dolby Code they leaked, and the fact they kept every commit public for everyone to see.

It’s not. They’ve definitely lost lawsuits before.

“I should call her.”

I mean, isn’t that how trademark is supposed to work? I’m no expert or anything but the original creator hadn’t used the trademark in over ten years and ostensibly had no intention to do so. He also didn’t respond to the notice of opposition.

Seems to me the courts did the right thing in letting gametech have the trademark if they intended to use it.

That’s not to say that I support them making a shitty Cryptobro game but them obtaining the trademark by itself doesn’t really seem shady to me.

Maybe because there’s usually not even a perceptible difference in visual quality between the two and a very noticeable performance difference.

This process is akin to how humans learn by reading widely and absorbing styles and techniques, rather than memorizing and reproducing exact passages.

Machine learning algorithms are not people and are not ingesting these works the same way a person does. This argument is brought up all the time and just doesn’t ring true. You’re defending the unethical use of copyrighted works by a giant corporation with a metaphor that doesn’t have any bearing on reality; in an age where artists are already shamefully undervalued. Creating art is a human process with the express intent of it being enjoyed by other humans. Having an algorithm do it is removing the most important part of art; the humanity.

My Durge run has been pretty fun. Cut off Gail’s hand when he was reaching out of that rock and never had to deal with him again. So that was cool.

Yeah I don’t really get all the hate. Is it the greatest game ever? No not even a little. Is it good though? Yeah I think so. The combat isn’t all that deep but I’m mostly enjoying it for the writing and world building. It also helps that it’s a gorgeous game.

That being said I can’t see paying full price for it. I subscribed to ubisoft + for it and plan on canceling once I’m done with it. Playing it that way makes it cheaper than a ticket to the movies but for way more hours of pretty star wars locales.

So? That’s literally how game design works.

Nintendo really only has a history of taking down fan remakes of existing Nintendo games or games that are charging money. They’ve never to my knowledge had a free fan game or romhack taken down nor do I think they’d have any sort of legal grounds to do so even if they wanted to. And this essentially boils down to a ROM hack. Which is almost certainly completely safe from Nintendo’s lawyers since it doesn’t contain any Nintendo made assets.

Might be an unpopular opinion but I personally think this is fine. Especially for console. As long as the frame pacing is consistent I don’t think the game is going to be harmed by being at 30 fps. If this were PC or a competitive game it might be a different story but aiming on an Xbox controller is already suboptimal and once you play for a while your brain stops thinking about the framerate.

Then again I still go back and play Cod zombies in split screen with my gf on the 360 from time to time which doesn’t even have a consistent frame rate. So I may be someone less worried about that sort of thing.

Not only that but it’s literally the only version of the game not to support hot seat multiplayer. When the switch is literally perfect to just pass around for the next person’s turn. I bought it for that reason assuming it’d have it but nope. Was mad. In fact; Am mad.

This reads like ”thats not a crazy amount of alcohol to consume for someone who consumes a crazy amount of alcohol"

Without checking I’m going to go out on a limb and say no.

Isn’t it a bit disingenuous to call it an emulation site? It’s not like they hosted ROMs or anything.

I just bought an RGH3 hacked 360 off etsy today after the Xbox live closure. Actually pretty siked to go back and play some of the 360 games I missed back then that have been stuck on that console generation.

If only that sale counted .

Plus they don’t even need to be profitable. They just have to convince some rich losers that they might be profitable at some undetermined time in the future.
