It’s interesting how other people here seem to have no issue discussing this topic with me. I wonder if they’d call me a “capitalist bootlicker” or if they’ve actually been paying attention to what I said.


Intellectual property is a means of production after its released. It requires no further input from the creator, and so they shouldnt have a monopoly over it.

If the person who created it cannot profit from it, then nobody should be able to.

I think most artists would agree.




It’s actually pretty easy to get working on PC (in 60fps) these days with emulation. Like you get the emulator, and it literally has an option to connect to the bloodborne 60fps rom hack repository within the emulator itself.

Haven’t tried it on Steam Deck specifically, but it worked surprisingly well on my laptop when I tested it out several months back.

Don’t have the link off hand but it’s not hard to find. I could probably find the link if someone really wants it and can’t find it themselves.

EDIT: not sure if counts, but I did a good portion of my BB playthrough on my Deck, streaming from my PS5.



Artist that want to make money can preform or sell their work like they have always done.

Unless someone who’s more famous than you decides to just steal it and put their name on it.

Oh well I guess. Back to the drawing board so it can happen again! Any day now, we’ll be a communist society with no need for money, so I’ll just keep putting out music to be stolen until then!



Is it just me, or do the characters look distinctly less Toriyama-y? I guess it makes sense if this was made after he died, but I thought maybe they’d still stick to the style since it’s so iconic and synonymous with DQ.


Why are y’all so fucking rude?

I’m a bootlicker because I don’t think getting rid of the concept of intellectual property completely is a good idea.

Ok Bud

And you know nothing about me and whether or not I’m a musician or an artist, so you shouldn’t assume.

But I know for a fact that most artists would not be fucking ok with someone photocopying their work (that they didn’t sell) for profit.

I know this because it literally already fucking happens, and artists hate it.


Why are you people always so fucking rude when you’re shit is challenged in any way?

Look at my other comments in this thread if you care to actually understand my position. I never even suggested that people would stop making music.

I even said that it could maybe work if we weren’t in an ultra capitalist society. But we are, so completely getting rid of the concept of IP is a bad idea.


If Trump can sell Springsteen’s music cheaper than Springsteen then that’s just the free market.

Exactly. And why would Springsteen have any incentive to distribute (or ultimately, even record maybe) any of his music in this proposed reality?

Not a fan of Springsteen, was just the first example that came to mind.

I’m just trying to imagine the incalculable amount of great music we would have been deprived of had we been living in a world without IP laws.

They might have written them, but we’d never get to hear it.

If we weren’t in an ultra capitalist society, it could maybe work and that would be wonderful. But we’re not, so just getting rid of IP entirely is just a bad idea.


I’m literally talking about how we should try to do better. I’ve just been around long enough to know that this ain’t how you do it.


The thing that irks me the most is that everyone who disagrees is an idiot or a liberal or some shit. No matter how grounded and nuanced your take is.

Every leftist has their own, ultra specific orthodoxy, and they will always find something about yours that makes you “not a real leftist.”

Nothing new either, it’s happened countless times. It’s so self-sabotaging.


So for the artists that created works but did not sell them, you believe that they would be fine with someone else photocopying it and then selling it themselves?

Sorry I’m not a head in the clouds, utopian socialist. I try to base my beliefs in plausible reality.


Where did I say that it did?

I’m just trying to picture what this world would actually look like, and it seems shit.

People will still create music, but without having any sense of ownership over it whatsoever, there is zero incentive to distribute it.

Whether you believe in private property or not doesn’t change the fact that artists will always feel a sense of ownership over their creations



You live in a dream world. Why would I release my music to the public when there are people who will make a living stealing it, putting their name on it, and selling 1000x more than I ever could because they already have name recognition? And those people WILL exist for every form of creative content.

Artists need some sort of mechanism to protect them from exploitation that is inherent to capitalism



Yeah it’s clearly broken. But there is a complete lack of nuance in these “get rid of IP and copyright completely (and if you disagree you’re an idiot)” arguments. They’re just supremely unhelpful.



Current system is obviously broken, but you don’t believe that artists and creators should have a right to control their intellectual property at all?

And yes, intellectual property is real whether you want it to be or not. And it’s not necessarily about money, but about controlling what can be done with your work.

For example, Bruce Springsteen should 100% be allowed to tell Trump to fuck off and stop using his music at rallys.

What would be the mechanism to do that without IP?


Steve Bannon recognized exactly this (with gamergate) and harnessed it for his fascist ends.




The best I can imagine would be a pc rendering a game which is streamed to a steam deck

I think you can already do this


It’s actually really easy to add an nvme drive. That’s more costs though, obv



I really enjoyed Call of Duty 4 (“World at War,” right?) back when it was originally released. It was so much more cinematic than Medal of Honor


This has been me lately and I’m trying to do better


Exactly… But these are the kinds of people who often feel the need to “platinum” every game they play. Almost seems like a compulsion.



I picked it up yesterday, and have only played a few hours, but it’s pretty fucking cool so far imo.

I never played the original though, only MGS 1 and 2.


Yeah Mario Kart and Donkey Kong are the only two games. DK is great, and MK is cool if you’re into that I guess… But it’s pretty ridiculous


Yeah I was wondering why the Donkey Kong game didn’t come out until a month later when it should probably have been a launch title


Ahhh… I was playing them in chronological, but starting with Cold Steel. The events in Crossbell happen during the first couple Cold Steel game, and it’s interesting to read about it in the newspaper, and hear people mention rumors about it.

Haven’t finished Cold Steel 3 yet, and I’ll probably play the Trails in the Sky remakes


Are you playing them in chronological order? Or did you start with the Crossbell duology?


I don’t think I’d say it’s my favorite game or anything, but if I had to choose one single game, and I can only play that for rest of my life, it would be Rimworld


Honestly, you’re fine just watching a YouTube video imo. The second game is so much better in every way


“of out hot eat the food” is definitely nonsense. I understand the joke, but “hot eat the food” doesn’t make sense.
