Same, but I feel like a steward of the web, I’ve been using it for so long lol

Not interested in that other stuff, but are there any sites you recommend that are closer to the old qa?

Yeah that’s new 2014+ Reddit technology, back in the early days of the internet sarcasm was a lot harder to detect and you were expected to figure it out with context haha

lots of us don’t know people expect /s and still try to be sarcastic without /s

instead we used clues like emojis to denote it’s not serious like “lol” or “haha” when it’s sarcastic and funny or ;-; or T-T when it’s sarcasm and expressing frustration

It’s mostly 16–22 year old autistic kid boys from around the western world, so you’re not far off in that it’s the worst demographic humanity has to offer in terms of internet discourse. I say this as a sperg who’s been on 4chan since he was 16 😂

It’s old internet sarcasm, I seent it many times in my life. Yeah, pretty sure it was harmless satire :) the emoticon at the end is a dead giveaway maybe—that there looks like a millennial or zillenial calling card

What’s wrong with accepting payment for playing a sport? I really don’t see a problem of somebody trying to earn a living by doing that

Selling a game based off of the hard work of a game engine: good
Selling a mod based off of the hard work of intellectual property: bad

Is that too reductive? It’s the same industry: game dev

Okay but reverse engineering is no longer under any protection because no ip

Open source is effectively no different than public domain in this circumstance. You don’t have less rights

Making source available suddenly makes it free of copyright

Copyleft “fanfics” are what we call the entire SCP universe. CC-BY-SA is just like the GPL. Notice it’s not CC-BY-SA-NC (NonCommercial). Labor, even if it’s “mods” or “fanfics” is still labor. What, suddenly your work grew in value because it was based off of a different license agreement? The hard work didn’t change, yet it suddenly legitimately grew in value?

If i ever made a game, im making sure everything is released cc by sa and a FLOSS software license for the source code. Because fuck the mentality that says your work isn’t valuable simply because I didn’t give you a license to “my stuff”

How many times has it been the final major update 💀

In 2035:
Have you heard of the critically acclaimed MMORPG Final Baldur’s Gate XIV? With an expanded free trial which you can play through the entirety of A Forgotten Realm Reborn and the award-winning Astralward expansion up to level 20 for free with no restrictions on playtime.

Sounds like a Union is a good thing. Apprenticeship programs.

People get mad when payment is expected for labor

The showdown is the answer of the question “Will trump disobey the orders of the supreme court of the land?” If that answer is yes then we are in an interesting timeline

I legit think that every time I hear it “if I was a tornado thisd be when I’d do it tell ya hwhat”

Unfortunately I haven’t I need to record something but I’ve been holding on this thing for ever and I can still play this but gonna jam it with that acoustic stuff I mentioned and hopefully a soundtrack pops out haha.so I’m figuring out what kind of game it’s gonna be right now I’m on stoneshard + quasimorph + dune. What sucks is I can program, I can probably make a soundtrack, but I have zero visual art skills other than making good looking UIs :c I can’t do pixel art or anything

Edit: I forgot I recorded a few times of me noodling around with my acoustic guitar and maybe some acoustic bass. Will see if I can muster the effort to get it from my phone lol

Exactly I have a killer acoustic grunge sci fi soundtrack think StarCraft unplugged ala Alice In Chains I’ve been dreaming up and doodling on at 6–7am that I need to make a video game to have it accompany because that’s the only way to make money off of music these days completely solo

Nah just check the time, if it’s noon you’re good. If it ain’t noon you check the news and make sure it isn’t a scheduled one at 10am for some test because they’re planning to replace the sirens with new equipment. If it ain’t that because the internet’s out then it’s probably real but if not you got a moment to see if it’s real for another reason

Their solution is going to be ai controlled drones, you think they’re going to create solutions that require people? This problem is the first step to robo ambulances, we already have robo police drones where I live in America.
