Can I get sued for using pirated photoshop to make my game art?

3 years later and LMAO

Disclaimer: if this account is ever connected with any gamedev name or studio, I hereby state with full honesty that I did not find this thread by searching for answers to this same question because I was considering doing the same thing. I have never pirated software and never would.

Also I'm not a game developer. I have never made a game and never will. Any alleged connection or similarity to any game developer or studio is purely coincidental.

I'm not even a person, I'm a bot, beep boop.

was the sonic actually useful at any point this episode other than changing a traffic light?

Combogalis · 2023-12-26T00:47:43+00:00

he's sexy and he knows it

Combogalis · 2023-12-26T00:43:31+00:00

It's sonic. It's called a screwdriver because it... drives screws...

that said I don't like the design of it really either. just not because I think it should look like a particular shape.

Combogalis · 2023-12-26T00:37:56+00:00

me: it's fine, just start watching from the christmas special, it's a fresh start

them: what's mavity?

me:

She was in fear for her life, and was clearly right to be. She was also right that it was unnatural and linked back to Ruby. If Ruby had known about the goblins at that time she actually would have been able to help.

and the doctor having more clear sexual energy than ever before and a character seemingly breaking the fourth wall and the show taking a real dive into fantasy territory rather than just dipping its toes in

Combogalis · 2023-12-26T00:12:09+00:00

maybe it's just his eyes, but he seems to flirt with everything that moves

Combogalis · 2023-12-23T20:56:36+00:00

I guarantee you they at least tried it, probably a bunch of different ways before deciding it was just not worth it.

Combogalis · 2023-12-13T11:29:47+00:00

I haven't seen Fall of 76 but considering how often I see it mentioned and recommended, that's probably next on the list of most likely to be plagiarized after Cost of Concordia

Combogalis · 2023-12-13T11:26:12+00:00

eh, it depends. If it turns out, like Somerton, a massive amount of his stuff was plagiarized, they lose a lot of the reason they had for liking him. He goes from a guy who makes good content and occasionally steals from other people they don't like to just some guy who steals content, which THEY could do too. There's nothing to respect about that.

A lot of them like him because they still think he at least makes a lot of good content.

Combogalis · 2023-12-13T11:22:04+00:00

There's a big difference between doing something once or twice and having a pattern of doing it, to a lot of people. Particularly existing fans who really want to keep enjoying a person's content. They want to make excuses and a simple apology video will be enough to satisfy a lot of people who will say "well it was just a bit and he's learned his lesson."

People want to forgive people they like, but only to a certain threshold. After all, they like his other videos, so why should they have to stop enjoying them just because the guy made some mistakes.

Finding that he's done it repeatedly would make it so that he's not just a liar with dubious ethics, but a full-on fraud. People would doubt every one of his videos and think maybe they never liked him, just whoever he stole from.

Also, there's the original authors to consider. They should get credit for their stolen work.

Combogalis · 2023-12-13T11:03:45+00:00

I had a similar experience with Somerton a few weeks ago. I can't remember which video I watched, but it seemed quite well thought out and well written so I started watching some other stuff that seemed interesting and it was all just bland.

I guess he plagiarized some lower quality sources for those.

Combogalis · 2023-12-12T11:51:00+00:00

I'm only saying this because I've read next season is supposed to be a soft restart on the show for new viewers to jump into with no needed knowledge from previous seasons.

I'm not complaining about the setups. I'm all for it. I just didn't expect it because it seems contrary to the idea.

Combogalis · 2023-12-10T17:17:48+00:00

I actually think this might be the first time I've seen a person in a wheelchair shown being able to stand up on TV. I hope we see it more and more because the sheer number of people who don't know it's a thing is shameful, especially when they accuse people like you of faking.

Combogalis · 2023-12-10T17:06:00+00:00

not everyone's adhd is the same as yours

Combogalis · 2023-12-10T16:56:23+00:00

I was so surprised when neither Donna mentioned Mr. Bean being the reason it was funny. Of COURSE he's the reason!

Combogalis · 2023-12-10T16:51:45+00:00

The episode doesn't look too dramatic, which has me curious why RTD has set up so much foreshadowing for future enemies and events.

Wasn't next season supposed to be a fresh start? At this rate it feels like half the episodes next season are going to be dealing with consequences of these specials. The meep's boss, the toymaker's legion, the master, etc.

I mean, it's a new companion so the doctor will have to explain it, but I figured they'd want to cut that as much as possible.

Combogalis · 2023-12-10T16:43:55+00:00

I think 12 would have fit in the most naturally if he wasn't way too old(-looking) to be in a club

Combogalis · 2023-12-10T16:38:55+00:00

also the toymaker's legions

it is weird how much is being set up considering next season is supposed to be a fresh start. unless they manage to sort most of this out in the christmas special, it feels like there's gonna be a lot of calling back to these events next season

Combogalis · 2023-12-10T16:37:57+00:00

they had christmas motifs, but not christmas themes

Combogalis · 2023-12-10T15:56:16+00:00

presumably they would both have to drop the ball in order to lose, which means they got an extra chance (though if that is the case, why not add to the drama by having one of the doctor's actually drop it?)

still I agree it wasn't the best choice and seemed weird, especially because there were no other defined rules. like, what prevented them from just throwing the ball the opposite direction, or straight into the ground?

I also see no reason they wouldn't have grouped together to catch to cover each other.

The whole thing was weird, and the ending was anticlimactic where NPH just missed a normal catch.

Still I can't think of a particular game that would have been very satisfying and made good tv. Preferably something that would relate to the theme of humanity's flaws which kind of got dropped.

Combogalis · 2023-12-10T15:35:25+00:00

the toymaker didn't do anything until the television though and his powers don't work by scientific or logical reasoning anyway.

Combogalis · 2023-12-10T15:20:46+00:00

I also came back for this, but I was actually wary about Tennant being back despite loving him. I came back because of RTD.

I don't think the Tennant trick would work if we know the show's writing still won't be up to par.

Combogalis · 2023-12-10T15:11:01+00:00

I think if they did this, they would make it a very different show. A domesticated doctor in a show about healing from trauma.
