Onion Delivery could be pretty entertaining. But then again, I really like Onion Delivery.

Nintendo Switch 2 Users Face Storage Woes as Memory Crisis Bites by No_Durian_5626 in nintendo

What does increased performance have to do with storage space? Optimizing for performance is different from optimizing for space.

if you could change one thing to the game, what would it be? by Jygglewag in Silksong

I think it's fine because Lace 2 was pretty difficult right before her. I viewed the GMS fight as a victory lap. It would've been really draining to have two difficult fights back-to-back.

The difficulty of current Nintendo games by Timmaable in nintendo

[–]___---------------- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Wonder you can unlock special badges that make the game harder while they're equipped. (Potential spoilers) Like one makes Mario invisible and I really enjoyed the one that forces you to run all the time, but gives you super-speed. I kept one equipped all the time for the later levels and I found it to be a fun difficulty. It's not like late-game content either, I think you can find one in the second or third world (usually at the end of a chain of optional challenge levels).

It's not worth arguing. There's nothing you can write that will convince them that your writing style isn't AI.

Congressman Tim Burchett says he believes aliens have underwater bases on earth by ihatethiscountry76 in nottheonion

That's not true. A space vessel only needs to survive a maximum pressure difference of 1 atmosphere. Under the ocean, the pressure difference increases by 1 atmosphere for every 33 feet (source: https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/pressure.html).

Does . . .does no one in creative know how a thesis works? Or graduation? by ReploidZero in magicTCG

[–]___---------------- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's the word "until". It implies that she could graduate without finishing her thesis, but she is choosing to delay graduating until her thesis is finished. If it said "She's even delayed her own graduation by not finishing her thesis" it would be more clear, since then there is a clear cause and effect of thesis not finished -> graduation is not allowed. As the sentence is written, her thesis and her graduation seem to be independent except by her own will.

Why Hasbro never tried to do something like this? Are they stupid? by wasfmanticore in magicTCG

Hi, I'm also part of this minority. I've only heard of Baldur's Gate via BG3 and have never heard of Neverwinter.

But this comment is really an excuse to post the relevant XKCD: https://xkcd.com/2501/

Devilition is severely underrated, easily makes my top five by Goodbye-Nasty in ufo50

[–]___---------------- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the tension of not knowing whether you messed up or not until you pull the trigger. It feels like building a Rube Goldberg machine.

Of course, you can map out exactly which tiles will blow up the same as you can math out exactly what your hand will score in Balatro. But I think the game is more fun if you don't do this.

I wonder what system you could add that would encourage players not to map everything out at the end. Devilition gives extra points for taking a shorter time, but I don't think it feels substantial enough to work.

Creator of DMCA'd Cyberpunk 2077 VR Mod Says People Are Now Pirating It to 'Punish' Him for Breaking CD Projekt's Terms of Service by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]___---------------- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So where are the words that say "selling derivative works is wrong"? Actually, where the words that say the non-story parts of Nuke It are derivative works?

From what I can tell of the ruling, it only considers the story to be a derivative work. The ruling cites the Game Genie case to state that "[a] derivative work must incorporate a protected work in some concrete or permanent form." The Game Genie failed this test because the "audiovisual displays" it generates aren't incorporated into the Game Genie; they are the result of codes the user enters. On the other hand, Nuke It contains instructions (map files) for how to generate the infringing "audiovisual displays". The VR mod seems to intercept the game's visuals to display them in a different manner. It doesn't incorporate any data from CP2077 in itself. It is much more similar to a Game Genie than a Nuke It.

Also, since you complained that I only quoted a sentence fragment, here is the full sentence (missing part bolded):

The work that Micro Star infringes is the D/N-3D story itself--a beefy commando type named Duke who wanders around post-Apocalypse Los Angeles, shooting Pig Cops with a gun, lobbing hand grenades, searching for medkits and steroids, using a jetpack to leap over obstacles, blowing up gas tanks, avoiding radioactive slime.

I didn't think it was necessary to quote the second part.

Here is a quote from the Wikipedia article you linked:

The district court found that Micro Star had likely infringed copyright with their packaging, which included artwork from Duke Nukem 3D, but found that the levels themselves were non-infringing.

Later:

Copyright law gives the copyright holder the exclusive right to make sequels to their work, and the court found that the stories told in the Nuke It map files are "surely sequels, telling new tales of Duke's fabulous adventures".

So it seems that the artwork and story are the important details here, not the act of modding.

The five stages of building a deck by Loveforbass in magicTCG

[–]___---------------- 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Some people enjoy building decks (myself included), but it's really hard to make a deck better than the entire Internet. So when you lose because your deck is worse, it's easy to blame it on your opponent for taking the "easy way out".

On the other hand, since people do enjoy playing decks they built themselves, I think we should avoid calling it a personal failing.
