This is why all games should use independent forums moderated by passionate community members. If only there was some federated, open source platform they could move to in order to discuss the game anonymously and without repercussions from the devs...

Why the fuck does autocorrect randomly capitalize certain words? It's so irritating. I've never had any issue with commas though, so I don't know where that's coming from.

I'm on Boost and can't zoom in to the embed, so I prefer links so I can actually read the text :)

That's not a sex ed thing, that's just blatant misandry. So what if boys don't get periods, they still have to pee!

You are hereby granted external permission to stop cringing at that memory. Some people just react poorly to humor, that's not on you.

Weird reaction. Maybe one of her ancestors had a lobotomy or something and she thought someone sent you to fuck with her.

I think Godot will eventually replace Unity. They've definitely given us enough reason to never touch Unity again, and if you already know Unity, Godot isn't that hard to switch to.

Being able to trademark a descriptive phrase is ridiculous. It's just two real English words that accurately describe an event.

Fine by me as long as I'm not expected to use them. I see nothing wrong with GSM (gender/sexual minority).

Gemini is an application-level client-server internet protocol for the distribution of arbitrary files, with some special consideration for serving a lightweight hypertext format which facilitates linking between hosted files. Both the protocol and the format are deliberately limited in capabilities and scope, and the protocol is technically conservative, being built on mature, standardised, familiar, "off-the-shelf" technologies like URIs, MIME media types and TLS.

That looks really cool. What would incentivise companies to use it over a regular website with tracking and whatnot?

The most realistic zombie outbreak is one that gives people the uncontrollable urge to infect others when given the opportunity and prevents them from revealing their infection if possible, but otherwise leaves them mostly functional. It would also be way more effective than hordes of decaying, shambling corpses because the "zombies" would still look and act human most of the time.

What?

That's such a... foreign mindset to me. I can't fathom being okay with having the door open and having other people just walking by. Hell, I close it when I'm the only one home.

He's not wrong. Those things look heavy and hard to aim, and you really don't need that much firepower in most situations.

I don't understand why they should give a shit. I mean, I know it's because they're litigious pricks, but there's no real reason for them to care. Nobody sits around reading AI-generated lyrics instead of listening to actual music.

I feel like the Force was also supposed to be bringing people together. I mean, Luke went to Dagobah, an entire fucking planet, and ran into Yoda within a few minutes of landing with 0 visibility in a swamp.

I've noticed that in a lot in sci-fi, writers just forget/hand-wave how huge planets are. Star Wars has an excuse that allows for more suspension of disbelief than with other series.

Where current copyright seems to draw the line is on recognizable characters. Where I draw the line is on direct asset or code flipping. I can't see any functional difference between saying you own, for example, the platformer genre VS saying you own short, plump plumbers in red caps named Mario. I think we might fundamentally disagree in an irreconcilable way there.

I get what you're saying. The problem is that you can't argue your case just by giving examples of how IP enforcement can lead to people innovating more in the way that I can. The debate is asymmetrical because all I have to do is show that IP violation doesn't uniquely negatively affect IP holders in ways that legal activities can't, demonstrating precedent for that kind of competition/harm being legal. You need to justify forcibly imposing limitations on what people are allowed to do, which has a higher "burden of proof" if you get what I'm saying.

A lot of sites just don't work without JS these days. uBlock Origin is good at getting rid of certain nags though, which is nice.

I tried to contact my doctor through the online portal and it wasn't working because those systems have zero quality control. I called them and had to listen to a long-ass pre-recorded message urging me to use the portal that WASN'T FUCKING WORKING before I could go on hold to eventually talk to a person. It's infuriating.
