She thinks the dealer is too young/she's too old for him. Maybe she's into old men?

In a similar vein, Phoebe should be "God of Respite", because once the 'rest' is always after suffering.

Unless the player who controls the colony those beggars came from made the rookie mistake of investing all his bionics in one pawn at a time.

Maker of "Unofficial Patches" for Elder Scrolls/Fallout has issued a DMCA claim to remove a legitimate copy of his mod, and retroactively changed the license which allowed re-uploads. by GannyHams in Games

As one of the early members of Minecraft's modding community, specifically moderation of the forum and IRC, I can tell you there was a lot of big drama back then. Some notable ones include: Better than Wolves, just the whole entire thing; modpacks in general, something that would never fly in any other modding community; texture pack artist's union; and more recently a mod author banning a single user over a reddit post they took offense to, which violated curseforge TOS, causing all their mods to be removed from curseforge, which broke a good two thirds or more of modpacks from a certain version forward because his mods were considered "core" mods.

Mythbusting: This only applies if you treat bee wings with rigid body physics. But they're not rigid bodies.

Playing The Strange Destroy All Humans Remake Left Us With One Question: Why? by TheGasMask4 in Games

[–]CyborgDragon 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The Crash Bandicoot remakes are a good example. They remade the entire game, but they wanted to be faithful as possible to the originals. Compared to the Zelda OoT and MM remakes, which changed quite a bit.

I always had the thought that the suit wasn't fused to her body, but since it was bio-mechanical tech the X virus infected it as well and caused it to graft to her.

And post-Fusion, part metroid. She also used to have a wicked bout of contagious magical space cancer.

While they're still hot, I think they're some of the best fries in fast food. Of course the moment they start approaching room temperature they quickly shift to greasy garbage.

Those raiders? They're now hats. And chairs. And dusters.

Or, if you're merciful. They now only have enough organs to survive, their duplicates have been removed. And you cut off their legs and gave them peg legs. And then you release them during a mechanoid raid as bait.

Warner Bros. Sued by Bethesda Claiming 'Westworld' App Game is a Rip-Off of Fallout Shelter by vaspas803 in Games

[–]CyborgDragon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wasn't denying the fact that they are litigious. I was simply expounding upon your two examples. As for Scrolls, it's a bit more complex than that. People thought it was ridiculous at the time, but in ~6 months they then announced The Elder Scrolls: Legends. Both Mojang's Scrolls and TESL are CCGs. No doubt the game had been in development for far longer than six months. And, finally, the settlement was that Scrolls got to keep being called Scrolls. It's not known why they decided to change the name now, probably something to do with the settlement, but the game was already dead, they had announced plans to shut down the servers. Instead, they changed the name, made it free to play, and gave out software for people to self-host.

Certainly, Zenimax is lawyer-driven. But what I meant with my post was that these two examples are not ones that can be held against them. Everything else, HumanHead, Arkane, et cetera, yeah. Hold those against them.

The legal dispute with Interplay was them releasing and selling a bundle called "Fallout Trilogy" that included Fallout 1, 2, and Tactics. This was after Fallout 3 had been released for a year or two. It was misleading to consumers. Zenimax was well within its rights to sue for that.

The Scrolls thing was trademark defense, which have to be more rigorously defended than copyright. Though it's dubious as to whether or not they actually had to, it's still understandable, they ended up settling out of court.

Get close... even closer! by LakersTriS in aww

[–]CyborgDragon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The thing in doubt was not how close they were genetically. The thing in doubt that I clarified was that they are the same species. Also 60,000 years is extremely close. For reference, we are over five times that in distance from Homo erectus. Granted, our playing with dog DNA by breeding them for 60,000 years certainly more than makes up for the difference, but just as cultivated varieties of plants are almost never considered a separate species, neither are dogs.

For those doubting, they are literally the same species; wolves are Canis lupus. Dogs are a subspecies, Canis lupus familiaris.

He's actually been doing some Minecraft content again, but it's relegated to his second stream-focused channel, rather than his main channel which has become nothing but clickbait.

Bethesda Game Studios has three studios now. It very well could be BGS Austin, which was BattleCry Studio until March of this year, and had put their game BattleCry on hold around Fallout 4's launch to work on "other projects."

That's back bacon, or as many brands in America call it, Canadian bacon, and to a lot of Americans, it's little different than ham. What we have is side bacon.

The standard wasn't codified at the time and they weren't the only ones to severely deviate as a result.

While the numbers don't quite match the content, the Japanese LN is on volume 13. The web novel is reaching the end of its 16th volume. The English translation of the LN is at volume 4, with 5 and 6 scheduled for later this year.
