Ask Lopez what he thinks

Yeah I’m just gonna tell our group of 55+ year old mechanical engineers to learn Python; that’ll go over really well /s

First sale doctrine applied because the license is tied to the physical media.

If you were to make a copy of your DVD and then sell the physical media on to someone else- that’s always been considered piracy In the eyes of the law.

I’m not making value statements on what’s right and wrong here; I just want to clear up some of the misconceptions around how we currently talk about it.

My personal belief is that digital licenses should be transferrable just like physical ones, and that any company that wants to offer DRM such that a license key becomes invalid shall allow a license key to be transferred to another user without restriction.

On a deeper level, the US needs a rethink on the laws surrounding software and copyright, balancing two truths: digital content creators need to make money; and buying a license or right to use any form of digital media IS ownership, and should come with all the same protections as, e.g., buying a physical book.

You’ve never owned games. You’ve always owned a license to run a game. The license used to be tied to a piece of physical media. Now it’s not. But the underlying legal model never changed.

If someone is so socially inept and surrounded by equally socially inept people who don’t call out this behavior, then it’s possible they don’t have anyone who is part of society at large that would inform them of how their actions will be perceived by most members of the public.

I’m not commenting because it hurts me in any way. I’m commenting because this person is going to have a relatively difficult life socially if they continue with the behavior they currently exhibit.

Referring to yourself in the third person is cringe as fuck

Ass pennies?

They’re competing against games like Hollow Knight which offer 40+ hours of content for less money.

No that’s the cost of the projector

Looks like the inside of a neutrino detector

I have a protector that does. Cost me about double what a large TV would have ($1600-ish), but it’s also a 4 meter wide screen.

Eh you can still tell some PS2 games from Xbox, but yeah most console generations have been “good enough” since the PS3/360 era.

Armored Core could have been a baller VR game

Same. I want to use it as a huge desktop display at work for those days when I need like 40 things visible at once

The cheapest plane I’d feel comfortable flying my family around in goes for about $100k, and you’d better be able to pay ~$5k a year on average for upkeep.

Meanwhile an instrument six pack is cheap buying it off someone that’s upgrading their cockpit.

This is the classic dementia “word salad”. I can sort of understand and follow the thread of what he was trying to say but to most observers it’s going to be a series of intelligible words that add up to have no meaning.

ACAB

That causes nasal demons

Some places are inextricably tied to SimuLink due to how long it was around before any of the alternatives.

• What happens to the ball?

It slowly rolled toward the edge but stopped before falling to the ground. The path was somewhat eccentric because of the texture of the ball.

• What color was the ball?

Yellow

• What gender was the person that pushed the ball?

Male

• What did they look like?

Green and white track suit (why? IDK), mid 60’s Italian, chubby

• What size is the ball? Like a marble, or a baseball, or a basketball, or something else?

It was one of those foam Nerf bullets, so about the size of a shooter marble

• What about the table, what shape was it? What is it made of?

It was that black IKEA table where the four metal legs screw into the corners. About 6ft by 3ft.

• And now the important question: Did you already know, or did you have to choose a color/gender/size, etc. after being asked these questions?

The entire scene sprung into my head at once after reading that someone interacted with the ball
