I've always suspected / wondered if it was fear of litigation that kept people in line even if people didn't think they would be "breaking the law." As he noted, you cannot copyright game mechanics because someone would absolutely already own the copyright to "roll dice and move X spaces" or "draw a card." And there's a lot of stuff that's clearly intended to be used in D&D / 5E that just doesn't say it at all or implies it can be hacked to 5E.

You miss all the shots you don't take!

I have a link to the AI lawyer in case you'd like to try it out for yourself.

I agree with this, broadly. It's rarely one thing or happens one time. The reaction to the news about Roiland from people in the industry / his orbit has been somewhat consistent.

The Passion 2: This Time It's Personal Also this movie is just going to be 2 hours of Jewish people crying about being Christ killers, isn't it.

In my defense I've purchased the DLC but not done any of the content for it yet.

Truly wild shit.

Yeah it's going to be an interesting scene for sure. I've seen more third party creators publicly talking about ditching their sub and/or not making D&D content anymore until things change than I'd expected. A non trivial number of them have their whole small business based on D&D adjacency so... I really don't know what to expect.

Does Ezra have incriminating photos of WB execs or something? Haven't they somewhat credibly been accused of abducting someone? What is the insistence upon releasing this movie amidst all the other shit WB has canceled?

2 Christ 2 Passionate?

Musk 100% wants to sell the usernames of dead people.

Gamers are bad at walking away from things they like and are invested in. D&D is one of the more convoluted and expensive RPGs out there but it's still the most popular by far. Obviously a lot of people have been funneled into it from content not made by WotC but the second biggest RPG is Pathfinder and it's an enormous drop in terms of player count and revenue between them. I suspect this will move the needle a bit, but D&D is going to be just fine. To wit, a good deal of the chatter online around... most big Games Workshop releases, be it paint, new editions, etc., is critical at best if not straight up negative. But it generates clicks so creators don't feel like they can ignore it. Even painters who don't really play ANY games will fuck with Warhammer models and tutorials on their channels because it brings in views. So I dunno where this goes, really. But similar to videoogames, I suspect your average person who sits down at a table to play a D&D campaign doesn't really care about this.

I will not have my boy Jacob slandered in this way.

Just confirmation that nothing's actually been signed yet. Games Workshop still in talks with Amazon over Warhammer film and TV deal, as it reports slowing profits - Business Live WWW.BUSINESS-LIVE.CO.UK Back in December the Hollywood Reporter said Henry Cavill would star in and executive produce an adaptation I I really wonder what's going on with Cavill and his representation / communication. There seem to be a lot of issues lately.

Why not both.

I played more of the Tiger Castlevania 2 gizmo than I care to admit.

Inconsistently enforced rules are bad and I don't blame people for being bent out of shape that something intermittently enforced is actually being enforced regardless of whether or not I think the restriction is reasonable (which I do). From what I know YouTube is better for content creators than other platforms, especially for the very popular accounts which I'd wager all generally conform to this now anyway.

You don’t spend $70 to eat a 100 hour meal at Golden Corral. BSG games coast on vibes I enjoy, mods, and the notion that I like digitally cleaning my room, so my body is ready for Starfield even though I know there’s a lot that will be shit.

I mean... sure. But it's a completely reasonable complaint for someone who depended on a stream of revenue from certain videos to have that cut off, again saying nothing about how "the first X seconds" of content needing to be free of specific words is just arbitrary.

The only REAL content dump TBH

Heavy Rain’s “pilot twist” is one of the worst moments in storytelling in any medium I’ve ever encountered, to say nothing of the fat that there’s very obviously cut content and threads in the game, the initial hooks for which were just left in and end up going nowhere. It’s not a poorly made game per se, but the execution of the story is so fucking bad.

I don’t think it’s unreasonable to complain that your source of income changes its rules on a whim, enforces them inconsistently, and communicates everything poorly. And the notion that YouTube is doing this because they’re averse to “controversial content” when conspiracies, misinformation, and hate speech are all over the platform is just goofy as hell.

NO U

I absolutely get not liking those games, and I can get how someone could like Until Dawn and not like The Quarry. I don’t get how someone could like how one plays and not like how another one plays tho.
