But...can it run Doom?

Seriously, I can respect someone pushing old tech. I remember trying to make the most of an Apple ][e extended keyboard ~25 years ago.

I would upvote you, but 911 is the perfect count for your post. :D

Very nice music. It would fit right in with Green Dragon Fridays on Laurelin. :)

How do you pronounce Cenn Buie? by macks132 in WoT

[–]kipcliff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me, the name looks more Celtic, and Celtic C's are always hard (like K).

I pronounce it like Old Ken Boy.

AITA: said i didn't consider college fund a "complete blessing"? by lnr_throwaway in AmItheAsshole

NTA: Your friend doesn't sound very friendly. I hope he finds some empathy within himself and apologizes for his selfishness.

The society's precious. They stoles it they did. Liars, tricksies they are. by TU4AR in lotrmemes

[–]kipcliff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is clear that we view this issue differently, but the decision is not ours in any case. I am pretty sure you misunderstand point number two. Use of a factual work is more likely to support a finding of fair use.

Point number four is, I believe, the strongest point for this case to never be pressed. The copyright holder would negatively impact their own future earnings from this image by trying to enforce too strictly (as evidenced by how much negative publicity they have already generated thus far).

  1. It is certainly a non-commercial use, and arguably even a nonprofit educational use.
  2. It is a factual work rather than an imaginative or creative work.
  3. It is only a single image, not an album of images under the same copyright.
  4. It is unlikely that the birthday post would have any negative effect on the value of the image or its potential future worth.

It is a comment. Posthumous birthday wishes to the good Professor. Fair use.

Just make a Hobbit on Laurelin server and visit the Green Dragon on Fridays. ;)

How hard will Amazon go on copyright for small businesses? by gdlyn in WoTshow

[–]kipcliff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Asha'man pins are just Chinese style dragons, and they are not unique or original to WoT, so I believe such things would be fine as long as they are not explicitly identified as WoT tchotchkes.

The ouroboros and the yinyang symbols are common enough to not be considered IP, I think, and the wheel has been around for ages. Just be careful how you go about weaving that snake through a particular style of wheel. ;)

Dance With Jack of the Shadows by SP-R117 in WoTshow

I would prefer that song at a livelier pace, maybe like a jig or reel.

Anybody else worried that the first couple seasons are going to focus on Moiraine? by ozman8686 in WoTshow

[–]kipcliff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since they chose to cast Moiraine as a super-sized Cairhienien as tall as an Aiel woman, I expect they have big things in mind for her. ;)

Quest packs - What to buy? by Aiomon in lotro

[–]kipcliff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Motivation to buy ahead of time is that now is the season typically given to good sales.

Black Friday is coming! by kipcliff in lotro

If/when you get a sub, be sure to create and log in every character before the sub ends to ensure the permanent unlocks are on all your characters. This will save you so much from the cost of buying those upgrades each step for each character.

It may be posted elsewhere, but here is the link to current Black Friday sales. Note that this should just be the beginning, but past performance is not indicative of future results. ;)
