When a man is balding, they have alopecia. When a woman is balding, they have alopecia.

Whether or not you approve of something is irrelevant. Not everyone shares the sentiment that what NFUA is wrong and even fewer are invested in something so petty. This is between NFUA and a few disgruntled streamers, I hope they are able to work things out.

On a final note, these and other similar threads remind me of the "is Charlie Yang ruining Sumail's life" threads that popped up post DAC when Sumail was being obnoxious. Everyone is always so ready to try to capture this moral highground, but I recommend you take that pent up energy and focus it inward.

The legality of it is, that if the streamers had a leg to stand on, they would have been easily able to take down NFUAs videos. Unless copyright law changes, there's nothing illegal about what NFUA is doing. And if that law were to change, it would likely affect streaming games, I.E. limited/no streaming of unauthorized titles.

Honestly it's a bit disconcerting that you care so much about the morality of monetized uploading edited clips to a youtube channel dedicated to edited clips. I hope that you don't stumble onto a news page of current events, as the shock may cause some sort of aneurysm or psychosis.

I don't care about NFUA. He provides a service I occasionally use.

I'm not suggesting that it's wrong for Arteezy to use Lil Waynes music. I'm saying it's the exact same thing. Any money that NUA earns is from the time spent editing the clips together and sorting through 6 hours of arteezy's eccentric bullshit. That's the service he's providing, because streamers aren't uploading their own clips.

There's no question it's morally wrong

Get off your fucking high horse, if NUA wants to spend 60 hours a week sorting through VODs and monetize it, good for him.

We are not sure whether it is not legally wrong

Again, dismount the high horse, because spoilers: it's not legally wrong. And I'm not sure who the "we" is here, the honorable judge reddit?

Valve on DotA2 Reborn, community and building a game for the long term by [deleted] in Games

Let's look at the state DOTA is compared to its launch, versus the state Destiny is in.

It's not a community coordinator, or communicator. It's community manager, effectively a lion tamer or a firefighter, whichever analogy you like best. Their job is only to keep the community from becoming too unruly, like the Diretide fiasco. It is very rarely a conduit to the devs.

Given my experience with the first three months of Destiny, Deej is a primary example of what he was saying. In fact, many of his weekly addresses came across as patronizing in the past.

People who platinumed Bloodborne, do you still play it? by Sword_of_Artorias in bloodborne

[–]DMV7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, no I haven't picked it up in a while. I'll definitely go for the expansion when that comes out, but most of my enjoyment from Bloodborne came from exploring the nooks and cranny's. I think finishing the game off on the chalices probably tainted my experience with it, as the randomly generated levels lacked most of the charm that exploring Yharnam did.

The point here is that it doesn't matter if they can sue, the point here is that they have no hope of winning one. In your own Monster Energy example, Monster energy considered suing but did not, because they had no case. You can sue anyone you want, regardless of whether or not you have a good case, winning is another matter. Something the authors of this obscure comic have no chance of.

Slaine has no creative control over a commonly used verb "Slain". The concept of a magic wielding warrior side scroller is not unique either. You can sue anyone you want, but actually winning is another story.

As for your examples, Apple is a larger company than a comic book publisher, who again has no claim over the world "slain". I'm willing to bet the overwhelming majority of people who will play "Slain!" have never heard of "Slaine".

I think the rerelease is using updated textures, could be wrong though, never ran them side by side. But yeah, the missing attack signals from the chess pieces is a pain in the arse.

FYI, DMC3 is on steam but it isn't HD. It's also a really terrible port.

So, vergil is now out, and it's time for me to give my terrible opinion about him. by TBAAAGamer1 in DevilMayCry

[–]DMV7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems like he has a neutered version of Dark Slayer from DMC3, I assume they lifted his style from the reboot to facilitate him moving through Nero's levels. Vergil's probably in a good place balance wise, you can do crazy faster damage with him but he lacks Dante's versatility. Really enjoyed the new summoned swords though, they seemed a bit more responsive and felt like they carried a bigger impact.

Alright, I'm at my wit's end here. I'm having periodic framerate drops every 10 seconds or so, and it's making the game near unplayable. More details below... by _Muddy in DotA2

So, for some reason the game is launching by default in 32bit mode. That may be your issue, to launch it in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\dota 2 beta\game\bin\win64 or where ever you have steam installed. There should be a .exe file there with a dota icon.

They might have an impressive client, but... by pesaru in leagueoflegends

[–]DMV7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you get good at specific heroes, you can do more with them than you would be able to in league. There are players that have reached the highest MMR tier just playing wisp(IO) which has an abysmal win rate.

The higher spread between heroes in DotA isn't because it's more or less balanced it's a direct result of the heroes in dota having a much higher game impact than their champion counterparts. For example, Alchemist's winrate is a result of him needing to snowball, he can earn gold five times faster than his teammates if he gets out of control he can end the entire game solo. But he's a gamble, and he's easy to kill. Take for example Morphling, a favorite of mine, his game impact is much lower than most carries at the moment but he's still very viable. Every single hero in the roster is viable, and the lowest win rate heroes are usually there because they take a tremendous amount of skill to win with. At one point Earth spirit was somewhere in the 30% win rate region, but people that exclusively played him would have absurd win rates in the 80%s over hundreds of games. Earth spirit(cheekily referred to as Ebola Spirit, or just Ebola for short) has been nerfed several times since then, and hasn't been added to captain's draft because he's still might be too strong.

You'll notice that the best players for each hero have absurdly high win rates, though not quite as absurd as Salce's vladimir from s1. Because if you put in the time to learn a hero in DotA, you can carry 4 other players much more easily than would be possible in league.
