  • Yep.

    Universal City Studios, Inc. v. Nintendo Co., Ltd.

    Universal City Studios, Inc. v. Nintendo Co., Ltd. was a 1983 legal case heard by the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York by Judge Robert W. Sweet. In their complaint, Universal Studios alleged that Nintendo's video game Donkey Kong was a trademark infringement of King Kong, the plot and characters of which Universal claimed as their own. Nintendo argued that Universal had themselves proven that King Kong's plot and characters were in the public domain in Universal City Studios, Inc. v. RKO General, Inc.

  • For online racing, ACC and iRacing are unmatched.

    I contracted the iRacing sickness this year. The online is indeed unmatched but I'd argue the single player racing is also best in class.

    The iRacing AI is actually fun to race against and nothing else comes close to the level of customization per-racer. You can build whole custom rosters with individual behaviors. If you're so inclined you can even share all this stuff through communities like Trading Paints and Race Department.

    iRacing is a hole with no bottom. Both time-wise and monetarily. Even to do AI-only you're still paying the subscription and one-time content prices. It really is the best though.

  • I have never seen Blues Brothers and, to my knowledge, have never seen this clip. Somehow I still knew almost immediately that this must be from Blues Brothers.

    Cultural osmosis is crazy y'all.

  • Also my collection of hobbies seems to match up well with the people who nuked their post history after the API-ocalypse. Even when I get good search results I click through and... so many deleted comments...

  • The inhouse tooling from the massive tech companies is very cool but I always wonder how that impacts transferrable skills. I work in a much smaller shop but intentionally make tech decisions that will give our engineers a highly transferrable skill set. If someone wants to leave it should be easy to bring their knowledge to bear elsewhere.
