  • That’s not fair to change the system only when businesses require it. I received a fuckin’ letter from a government entity where I live for having downloaded the trash tier movie “Demolition”.

    I agree copyright and patents are bad but it’s so infuriating that only the rich and powerful can choose not to respect it.

    So I think openAI has to pay because as of now that shitty copyright and patent system is still there and has hurt many individuals around the world.

    We should try to change the laws for copyright but after the big businesses pay their due.






  • I have played something like 50 hours of deadlock a few months ago and IMO it has strong MoBa elements. I actually think it’s more Dota but in TPS rather than a TPS trying to Dota.

    The same aspects of Dota are strategically important in Deadlock IMO. You need to farm, you need to support, map control is very much relevant… I think it’s very close to Dota in what it requires from a player in terms of skills.

    I would even say that you probably can be a very good deadlock player without good aim because the strategy is absolutely crucial. Also I have both seen experienced dota players and people with 0% experience in that genre discovering Deadlock and it makes a big difference in the learning curve. Dota players will be confused by the TPS aspect but are very fast in getting good in itemization, strategy, teamplay… They know what to do but are just not sure how to do it in a weird TPS form.








  • I thought it was obvious you wouldn’t say “hey I just took your benchy model and changed N vertices”. But just “happened” to inadvertently create a benchy lookalike.

    Also there is definitely a point where it would be safe to reproduce the benchy design otherwise we could point at anything on earth and say “that’s a heavily modified benchy.”

    Or are we all benchy? Am I a benchy with a thousand modified vertices?

    So let’s be pragmatic there is nothing preventing me even to start a new design that vaguely ressemble the Benchy design. All it takes is for that “vaguely” to be enough so that you could argue you were not making a benchy redesign but just stumbled on something that could look Like a benchy.



  • I’m not sure why people are trying convince me to change my mind on something.

    I have seen it in my logs with my own eyes. I wish I could be left alone without having to bother looking into it.

    Whatever the reason is. Someone is crawling through dictionaries of address. It is slow but steady. It started with abuse@ and other generic addresses and then started trying names. I blocked the sending SMTP server once I realized what was going-on.

    What am I suppose to do? Ignore it and just triage in inbox?
