@YiJiang'sEvilClone The full guideline is "Askreddit is for thought-provoking, discussion-inspiring questions about zip-tied testicles" but they thought the latter half was implied
I voted to reopen this question: Guild Wars 2 Digital Deluxe items acquirisation
which I believe is different from What are the gameplay implications for each of the Digital Deluxe items?
The first one asks and has an answer about how to get the Digital Deluxe items. As additional information i...
I mean, for the answerswarm contest, SE bought stuff from etsy produced by someone who probably did not have the rights to produce the items they produced
But unlike cheap knockoffs this would mostly just be consumers making what they want, rather than a single person making a large amount of money off of piracy
I've read a few Q&A about vampirism and i can't seem to find the answer to my problem.
I've become a vampire and I've started the quest to cure myself. As I'm stage 4, I can't talk to Falion, so I've tried to drink some blood around. I've done 3-4 humans yet and it seems not to be enough. Peopl...
I think it's going to be an interesting time, is all. we've already put "people who duplicate content for a living" on notice, when it spreads to "people who manufacture particular configurations of plastic" I imagine the backlash will be pretty intense
dear $COMPANY_WHO_USED_TO_OWN_THE_MEANS_OF_PRODUCTION, we have obsoleted the need for you with technology. Please prepare to be bankrupted or spend gobs of money on legislation to suppress this technology. Sincerely, The Internet
Fun Fact: Part of the reason fashion designers change their products so radically and so frequently is because US law does not allow for any sort of IP protection for fashion design.
@GraceNote The internet and the people on it are exactly as real as everything else. It's pathetically antiquated to think something didn't really happen because it was digital
I mean, even with 3D printing, there's still a big difference between a tiny model artillery piece, and hopping around in it actually shooting people with rockets.
@BenBrocka There's two separate forces at play, here, though, and for starters I'm the person who never uses "in real life" and prefers to say "in the physical world".
@BenBrocka the red sole trademark is kind of odd - the court essentially found it to be functionally equivalent to a logo - i.e. for the same reason it's illegal to make a fake gucci bag.
But you can make a stitch for stitch identical bag to a gucci bag, so long as you don't try to mislead customers into thinking it's a gucci by not putting their logo on it.
@BenBrocka I don't think it is, or at the very least, we see the boundary of things set at different positions.
If the prospect of creating an entity that exists in the digital realm, into the physical realm, this kind of realization is what we're looking at, counts the entity as a digital entity, then the behavior and physics of that digital realm, for all its lack of adherence to our own reality, is also a digital concept.
@GraceNote How on earth is that relevant though? The thing about digital copies of music, games or 3D printed figures is that they're functionally identical to "real" copies. Non-functional artillery vs functional artillery is absolutely nothing like the difference between a digital game and a physical CD or a 3D printed cat figure vs a hand molded cat figure
In terms of how it's transformational, 3D printing is extremely similar to digital content. It makes distributing infinite copies of a good virtually free for the distributor and makes physical transport completely irrelevant. Purchasing, downloading and ownership (of the license) are still all completely digital
The major complication is that you're required to own a physical device to use the content on (similar to how you generally need a PC or other device to actually use digital content)
There's functionally little difference between digital and 3D printed in a world where every home has a 3D printer and a PC capable of playing digital content
@GraceNote You know that was going to be Pacman's original name, until it was mention how easy it would be to deface that to make a certain other name?
@OrigamiRobot I'm... completely broke. Which is why I don't feel bad about not buying a bundle which consists almost entirely of games I've never heard of and probably don't want to play :P
I mean, it's got that tribal feel that "indie film making" has, but also some kind of nitty-gritty "heart and soul" thing but also your standard "Comiket distribute ALL THE THINGS" vibe and then "easy market" and...
Oh, wait, I forgot to mention something: SMNC also introduced persistent powerups that players can buy from their online store and have in all their games. Did I mention that how good these are directly correlates to how much they cost?
@YiJiang'sEvilClone This is my usual take on the sphere it represents, but somehow the term "indie" just keeps pointing at all those other connotations.
Anyway, I wonder if I should try Gotham City Impostors again. I haven't played since it went F2P, which reset everyone's levels, and your level determines how much equipment you can unlock (but the unlocks are just type specific... if you have a weapon unlock, you can choose to unlock any weapon)
The funnier unlocks are things like which voice your character has.
Bit like Battlefield Free2Play...I was part of the beta and did quite well, got a decent rank. When everything got reset and it became microtransactionhell I dropped out.
I actually had all the Gotham City Impostors DLC which also got converted. I had said DLC (which is like costumes and XP boosts) because I bought the Batman pack that included Arkham Asylum, Arkham City, and Gotham City Impostors + DLC.
I think I lost the Ninja costumes during the conversion or some other ridiculous thing.
(Just because I didn't PLAY Impostors after the conversion didn't mean I never launched the game. :P)
@badp Did they ever show the dive bomb kill with the Glider? Probably my favorite way to kill people, but you need the Heavy body type for that to work the best.
Well, what's weird is that this guy also appreciates Loadout and its 7-barrelled maneuvered rocket launchers that set things on fire should they manage to miss
Darn it, one of my coworkers stopped by, preventing me from making a comment about @badp being able to turn people in @BenBrocka before @OrigamiRobot fixed his post.
I can't seem to figure out how to get a "triple perfect" in Runner2. I know you get a first perfect for collecting all the gold and a second perfect for hitting the bullseye, but how do you get a triple perfect?
So I have a higher level Berserker and wanted to create a mod myself to change some minor things. The problem is as soon as I load the mod I don't have access to my vanilla character. Can I somehow play the same character across vanilla/modded-Torchlight?
Plain and simple question, I know.
I like playing my mobile games while listening to my own music, and having the game's music over it is quite annoying. But somehow, I see no menu option to mute this app!
I even started looking at apps that would enable me to mute specific apps, like the volum...
