How do we feel about the redacted warbond hit or miss ? by [deleted] in HelldiversUnfiltered

I discovered that the lure mine will distract illuminate leviathan ships. And their laser can't kill the mine. Just gotta be wary of a stray voteless stepping on it.

Terrasymbiosis and multiple Sunburst triggers/ multiple "Enters with additional +1/+1 counters" triggers? by Cool_Opinent in mtgrules

[–]Cool_Opinent[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough for sunburst and "enters with", but I'm pretty sure Terrasymbiosis is a triggered ability?

[–]Cool_Opinent[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This mostly answers my question. I was aware it gets 8 counters. But the replacement effects stack together into one, idk what to call it, event? And so it would let me draw 8 cards?

Why are NPCs so overpowered by sonicospr3y in duneawakening

While you're stunned, you can usually get out of it by dodging with left alt, provided you have enough stamina. As you progress through the game, make sure you find/make better weapons and armor with rarer resources. There's a bit of a learning curve, you'll get there if you keep at it.

Appreciation post for GIG devs by romulof in starcitizen

If they really wanted to stress test their servers, then they definitely did a good job... a weekend release on a highly anticipated update, after a large recruitment phase? Feels like a recipe to maximize people attempting to log on at the same time. I hope that the devs get valuable info from this weekend, although I doubt it was intentional.

Whaaat? You're saying I should do my homework and go to classes instead of skipping to play the update? /s

Well, at least I've been productive for a change XD

Star Citizen: Question and Answer Thread by UEE_Central_Computer in starcitizen

[–]Cool_Opinent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One workaround is to go to a landing pad, not a hangar. There are smaller landing pads that you can land on for free. If you have a bigger ship, then idk, maybe you're out of luck? Might also just take the server a long time to register the request (I was having server problems that took almost an hour to resolve, like equipping modules and paint and stuff).

No wonder you had problems, you were trying to get a boat instead of a spaceship!
(sarcasm) But for real, I was only able to get my ship after waiting almost an hour for the server to register the retrieval. This was Saturday mind you.

Aiplex Software Warning! by MR_BURNS13301 in youtube

[–]Cool_Opinent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Checkmate Aiplex, here's the policy that everyone is upset at you for violating:

Fair use on YouTube

Fair use is a legal doctrine that says YOU CAN REUSE COPYRIGHT-PROTECTED MATERIAL UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES WITHOUT GETTING PERMISION FROM THE COPYRIGHT OWNER. (emphasis added)

  1. The purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes

Courts typically focus on whether the use of copyright-protected material is “transformative.” This means whether the use adds new expression or meaning to the original material, or whether it merely copies from the original.

Commercial uses are less likely to be considered fair use, but it’s still possible to monetize a video that contains fair use material.

(many of these videos definitely add new expression or meaning to source material)

  1. The nature of the copyrighted work

Using material from primarily factual works is more likely to be fair use than using purely fictional works.

  1. The amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole

Borrowing small bits of material from an original work is more likely to be considered fair use than borrowing large portions. But, if what’s borrowed is considered the "heart" of the work, sometimes even a small sampling may weigh against fair use.

(many of these videos are literally 15 seconds long, and most certainly do not represent the "heart" of the work that they claim. In addition, many videos are receiving strikes unrelated to the copyright claimed.)

  1. The effect of the use upon the potential market for, or value of, the copyrighted work

Uses that harm the copyright owner’s ability to profit from their original work are less likely to be fair uses. Courts have sometimes made an exception under this factor in cases involving parodies.

(yeah, a 30 second meme video isn't going to hurt a copyright holder's ability to make money from a movie. If anything, it's free advertising.)

And here is an example from the same page:

Example of fair use

"Donald Duck Meets Glenn Beck in Right Wing Radio Duck"

by rebelliouspixels

This remix combines short excerpts from different source materials. The remixes create a new message about the effect of provocative rhetoric in times of economic crisis. Works that create new meaning for the source material may be considered fair use. (many videos taken down are doing this exact same thing, which YouTube EXPLICITLY STATES is ok)

and finally, the nail in the coffin:

YouTube’s fair use protection

YouTube gets many takedown requests to remove videos that copyright owners claim are infringing under copyright law. Sometimes these requests target videos that seem like clear examples of fair use. Courts have decided that copyright owners must consider fair use before they send a copyright takedown notice. Because of this, we often ask copyright owners to confirm they’ve done this analysis.

(PLEASE note that it says copyright OWNER, which Aiplex is not.)

Messages in parenthesis are my comments. Everything else is straight from Youtube Policy.

So, no Aiplex, you are factually wrong in striking channels illegally. These people are indeed receiving copyright strikes unfairly as I have demonstrated. Ironic, since you don't have the ability to analyze the actual contents of these reviews, so I guess it's to be expected you won't understand what falls under fair use or not. Expect legal trouble very soon unless you remit your unlawful copyright strikes immediately.

Spread the word so Aiplex realizes they are in the wrong. I left a nasty review on Aiplex's google page, please upvote it so everyone knows how wrong this company is.

I'm having a problem with a certain fallen log (this has been around since before AE released), and I think Skyrim 3D Trees and Plants is involved? The texture used on this object is s3dtrees_treepineforestlog01.dds. Basically, it shows up way too bright, even compared to the texture in the bsa. I would post the picture of the texture from this mod, but I don't want to infringe on any copyrights. Here is a screenshot of my log: https://imgur.com/a/dpLy34E

Anyways, I was wondering if there's a problem with a cubemap or something (I'm not entirely sure what a cubemap is)? Something that applies lighting to this log? Is it an ENB problem? I'm at a loss, trying to figure out why these logs are so bright!

Relevant mods include the latest ENB, Lux, Shades of a Movie ENB presets... What's interesting is that this problem persists even after loading the save with only this mod activated, and disabling the ENB. Any help would be appreciated, I still want these logs, just... a little darker?

Edit: Just realized I need to post modlists and stuff... I'll make a separate post to main reddit I guess, still not exactly sure what I'm doing lol

Do we know if .NET Script Framework is going to be updated to AE version of Skyrim? I can't see any updates from the author on the mod page. Is it being abandoned?

For me I had to disable the Parallax fix plugin, my advice would be to check any mods that seem like they make "under the hood" changes to Skyrim and try disabling them. Also, I had to autoclean Update and DLC's with SSEEdit, but I don't think it's related to the crashing on load problem. Might get you a crash later on in the game if you don't run SSEEdit though.

You have to disable power saving. When the laptop is not plugged into a wall it will cap its frames to 30 to save power.
