Yeah, that’s the wrong word. “Extracted” or “looted” or “stole” are all more appropriate.


If it’s “use my name a likeness, maybe my voice work,” I’m not mad, it’s people paying to do stuff the devs would need to pay someone else to do instead. If it’s “I have some ideas how this story should go” I’d be a bit more concerned.


Even better if you could build your own room in Roblox and arrange furniture until you figured out what pieces you wanted and where to put them.


The content creators should work together to make a single bland “it’s fun 😶” video that all of them post. It would technically comply with the restriction.


It sounds like a good game. I was reading the description and it made me think of this dumb mobile game I keep seeing ads for, that I’m sure is one of those that past the first hour or so you have to pay to make any progress, and I’m guessing the mobile game ripped off Frostpunk.


I had never heard of this game series but it sounds like the source material some shitty mobile game ripped off.


Xbox only ever existed to sell software because MS sees themselves as a software company. Sony will hold on to game exclusives because they sell consoles and Sony sees itself as a consumer electronics company.

The idea MS would kill the Xbox hardware (or even let it fall significantly behind PS hardware) is hard to swallow even if they license Xbox to 3rd party hardware makers. Much like they make the surface pro as a reference machine for windows touch computing, the MS made Xbox would certainly continue to be made as a reference unit to show players how Xbox gaming should behave.


It’s doubtful this will hold up in court. If nothing else, I could see any other video game company challenging the trademark because they might want to use the term in the future.



Not OP but Substack has been pretty explicit that they will not be removing fascist/nazi accounts. I suspect the comment you’re replying to was referring to the story about how if you don’t kick the well-mannered “reasonable” nazis out of the bar the instant they show up, you quickly and inevitably discover that your bar is a nazi bar.

Edited for clarity.


Making comments like that and worse to young teenage fans makes him look a lot like a predator. You should read some of the text exchanges where he’s encouraging girls who he’s been talking to for years and have just turned 18 to hang out and get drunk with him.


The vast majority of house flippers are not doing any kind of real renovation on properties. They are painting, putting on new fixtures, and putting in carpet, and then selling the property for 50% more than their purchase price.


I read something like this and my immediate thought is “torches, pitchforks, guillotines.”





Yeah, once you show that you can and will fuck someone over, they tend to lose trust in you.


I would argue it’s worse that law enforcement can just buy data they would otherwise need a warrant to access. In the case of broad data (e.g. location data for every cellphone user in a neighborhood or city) law enforcement can’t legally seize that at all but they can buy it from a broker. It’s a major fourth amendment violation.
