- No TikTok
- Died of dysentry
I think I'll take the no tiktok
- Looking fantastic in a fancy suit.
- Losing a finger at work on your 7th birthday.
I'll die of the shits but at least I'll be tending the farm for a while
Did they even exist then?
I dunno. I wasn't there.
- Capes
I remember pretending my hula hoop was a pet dog
Sure thing Hex
You fucking what lmao
Walk the dog is a yoyo trick, not a hoola hoop trick
Everything I owned, I'd always imagine it was alive n had personalities n stuff, even my hair clips 
Put googly eyes on everything
Alice?
Alice?
lmao
Who the fuck is Alice?
Yo take winter to arkham asylum
:[
Alice the Hair Clip
That's kinda cute tho, active imagination
Hair clips were blood thirsty monsters that attacked my beanie babies
Imagination on point.
Truly wonderful the mind of a child is
Not the right yoda but flappy ears
Ah welp
I'm getting ready to ruin my sleeping schedule and pull an all-nighter
This is what I get for not working on this report for 3 weeks
xd
No sleep 
Probably not an all-nighter
Not much left to write tbf
I just know I'm gonna keep distracting myself
Procrastination 
Pfff
man
i need vacations
i have exams again in 4 months and im absolutely swamped
and tired
BUT I have vacations after that
so
I've genuinely wasted it all but I always do.
vacations are for wasting time
I choose to just play games rather than do anything proactive.
Yep, that's my thinking.
i am wasting time rn
👌
My cat is melting lol
sweet! Maintenance just came by and said we get get keys tonight if the agent says its okay
who?
@dusty magnet is mod?
yes
natani
no idk what ur talking about
About an hour ago.
show the noodle
might be moving, and wont have room for his enclosure
Awww
Get an enclosure in your rv
rv is too small, i wouldnt have room for it
Sad
@night bobcat Cope
I did
Removed from a channel for saying "Doubt" and "Cope" as joke, what a nice moderator.
i feel ya, let's just politely ask a bank for money instead tbh
politely pulls out gun and bag with note saying please
Got offended because I stated my opinion regarding the possible apparition of Hello Games on the new gamescom and goes defensive about it, then I say "Cope" and removes me from the channel for no reason, totally would recommend it.
I am so antiwork as I get older it’s absurd. Wish I could just do what I actually enjoy but alas, I need health insurance😭
Lmao
Not offended at all
Channel is for hype and fun
mumbles, "it's a painted watergun, you think i could afford a real gun?"
Exactly, I just say "Doubt" stating my opinion.
You weren't participating, and sarcasm doesn't translate well in text, as you just found out
lmao I can barely afford to treat myself to takeout ms. bank teller mam
Jskaehwoqnw
Ugh I just wanna use my degree to hang out with mushrooms all day
But they weren’t kidding when they said there are no jobs
is this what you get for frankentroller hijinks?
No. This is what I get for scheduling a zoom meeting
aah
@mint spear I got chicken soup
Oh! I do too
Chicken soup friends 
yeee
FUCK

So we have special software that requires a separate password to login. And the software has been sassy the last couple days. It just put my password for it in our teams Skype chat
And now I have to change it
AND
They know now I'm a furry lol
Because my password included it
Yea
I despise it
I put it on my phone and it merged my contacts with my Skype contacts
Took me like an hour to clean out all the decade old gaming contacts
what's this 2010
I dunno ask management
I'm more pissed that I accidentally put the password in Skype twice now
Because of the recent software update is screwy
Last password I had to change was Thanos42@
Because if it
Oof lol
Crummy password
This is a weird notification list
Well I can't go into great detail but the software limits us
Or else it would be a much better password
Wikifeet?
I'm not explaining what that is, but the video is a funny skit.
On wikifeet?
No outside
Well fed boy
I remember seeing a big rat speeding across the street, this thing was the size of a cat or something
a small cat
but a cat
flashbacks to shoveling hay and watching the rats fly
I like domesticated ratties
Our barn was full of rats and well fed cats.
but I'm not ever going close to a street one
Yea
vibin
Update on kitty cat, she's doing alright, acting normal
I just hope she's eating enough, because she just kind of likes to nibble randomly instead of eat full meals. Insulin needs food so it doesn't cause hypoglycemia
I imagine they account for kitty grazing
Pigeons are sad
Neighbor's dog is mad about something
Is it the type that is mad at the world on principle
Probably
Is there gamescom today
That was actually quite a fun convention
Oke
my laptop sounds like there is a cricket living inside of it
Because there is a cricket living inside it
wouldn’t doubt it, there’s bugs hiding everywhere in this apartment
dumb old building
Chocolate ice cream is the worst flavor
nice! I will keep that in mind next time I get chocolate ice cream thank you
camel muscles
caramel monkeys
its kinda obvious, he is white so its Caucasian man
camel muscles
I downloaded a mod called loaded loading screens for fallout 4 and this..... Is one of the new loading screens... I hate whoever decided this was funny...
Me who is someone from the Caucasus mountains
HAHAHA
it is funny
Eh low effort but mkay
it’ll be funny for those who least expect it
also, it’s a good song and any reminder is good
Ah i thought you was talking about the Caucasian joke , the rick roll one is funny
rick roll yeah
Yeah so funny... And I'm 9n console so I can't go into the files to edit it out... But the other load screens are funny enough to be worth it...
I guess maybe if I liked that kind of music I would feel different about it but music like that is like nails on a chalkboard to me... Right up there with country music...
it would only be funny if it was rare and there were enough other ones
Loaded loading screens is one of the first mods I downloaded when I started a couple days ago and this is the first time it came up so it could be worse.
They could have made all the landing screens this.
But then I would have just deleted the mod.
I make fallout 4 generally a horror game using mods , i get scared shitless easily tho , got killed immediately too lol
I will have to look at some horror themed mods.
I never even thought about that
This be the first time I used mods that were not cheat mods 8n a game.
There are lot of scary mods for fallout 4 some change the atmosphere drastically and everything becomes foggy, some mods make nights really fucken dark too
the horror mods i’ve seen in some videos seem pretty terrifying
i don’t like that though, turning it into purely a horror experience
it’s better with only sections of horror
the best horror games/games in general with any horror are well paced and give the player time to breath. highs and lows, etc
That’s why I loved Soma, and why Bioshock is brilliant
Ugh, I want Soma to get FPS Boost
I have it but I ain't playing it at whatever godawful FPS it's currently at
that would be a nice game to get remastered
I played it comfortably , strange
i don’t remember any frame rate issues personally
I can't do 30 FPS, especially in a first person game 🤢
Only mods that I did see that I guess could be considered a horror mod is a walking zombie mod. I think it turns all ferals into zombies makes a shitload more spawn points for them and makes them all walk.
i saw one that makes the game extremely dark
and something similar to what you mention
@clever vessel Just can't, makes me 🤢
dang
I may try some of these after I beat the game. Will actually give my settlement defences something to shoot at lol.
You playing on console?
settlements could be kinda interesting with that mod tbh
Yup
Ps4
Well you got ripped by Bethesda lol, ain't no good content mods for console
I have noticed... Modders are only aloud to use the in game textures and everything for mods on the ps4 so that puts a big limiter on what they can do with it.
Guys this is Fredo
I love Fredo
the "I aint gettins hit donw for hours " trilogy
That explains why I didn't notice, lol
Oh no wonder I didn't notice when
Lol
sleep is useless
About 1:10am
It's hot in here x.x
He has food now
YAY
Hes so cute. He runs up to the bowl, picks out a piece of food, then runs back under the cabinet to eat it
What would be funny is if it snuck into one of the planes and was not found until in flight... Ok maybe that wouldn't be too funny...
Is that a possum?
It appears to be. We have those all over the place around here.. they like getting in the trash and tearing stuff up..
They can carry diseases to so don't try to play with it...
Yep!
And now folks, it's time to say goodnight. We appreciate your patronage and we hope we have succeeded in bringing you an enjoyable evening of entertainment. Please drive home carefully, and we'll come back again soon. Goodnight!

Astronomy Pic of the Day: Elephant s Trunk and Caravan
Explanation: Like an illustration in a galactic Just So Story, the Elephant's Trunk Nebula winds through the emission nebula and young star cluster complex IC 1396, in the high and far off constellation of Cepheus. Also known as vdB 142, seen on the left the cosmic elephant's trunk is over 20 light-years long. Removed by digital processing, no visible stars are in this detailed telescopic close-up view highlighting the bright swept-back ridges that outline pockets of cool interstellar dust and gas. But the dark, tendril-shaped clouds contain the raw material for star formation and hide protostars within. Nearly 3,000 light-years distant, the relatively faint IC 1396 complex covers a large region on the sky, spanning over 5 degrees. This starless rendition spans a 1 degree wide field of view though, about the angular size of 2 full moons. Of course the dark shapes below and right, marching toward the winding Elephant's Trunk, are known to some as The Caravan.

15 days to go 😄
ugh i should have slept for more than 2 hours
agreed
Why?
It bums me out that the majority of pictures from space are so heavily edited.
I mean, I get it, but it bums me out.
Like, some pictures will be of stuff not on the visible spectrum for humans and like, you can do that with regular things on earth, too.
You, too.
nah man its just that human eyes are trash
the universe is beautiful but we cant fully comprehend it in our fleshy bodies limited by evolution
Yeah. I still like seeing the images but I'd also like to see it how regularass human eyes would see it, for comparison.
👀
Context????
Trump did so much weird stuff we probably couldn’t find it
One time he was telling a story about snakes
Maybe Shawn's right about the Seanold hypothesis.
Mr sakurai did it too
I don't know context, but it was cropped from this:
(Looks like maybe a planetarium and he is finding out there is stuff outside Earth?)
Trump and mini trump
🤨
baron trump
thats his son
he's 2m tall
at 15 years old
he had a massive growth spurt
Oh then 4 years ago he was 11
i was in 11th or 12th grade
11th grade when he got elected
now im in my 3rd year of uni
time flew by
Some fuckwit locked the keys to this U-Haul truck in the truck. And I've been here since 640am waiting for the truck
The locksmith finally got here but god damn
Wtf , jeez that was a long time ago
@mint spear
tenet was rlly cool in imax but i couldn't understand a word they were saying
I had the same problem when I picked it up on 4k bluray
I wore headphones the second time lol
yeah its super weird audio mxing
Christopher nolan loves making his movies inaudible
interstellar is my favourite nolan film
i havent actually seen memento
It's great
Chris Nolan claimed it's about the experience of the movie, and a lot of it was but I think Covid had a lot to do with their terrible sound mixing
i've seen them all from after the prestige apart from the batman ones
Dudes had to do it at home with apple airpods on
And yes Memento is one of my all time favorites
i disagree tho because a part of the experience of the movie is the story and not being able to understand it ruins it
i think that tenet is one of his worse ones to be honest
Tenet's concept was dope
because like, the characters were quite shallow
the acting was great too
But that soundtrack 🔥
the concept and acting were great and also the soundtrack
but its a bit TOO confusing imo
IT is
like, i still have no fucking idea what actually happened in that opera seige at the beginning
I was so there for the confusion lol that shit engages the crap outta me
and ive seen it multiple times
yeah but the opening scene was cool, it was just so unclear as to what was going on
I was just about to explain to the best of my ability but it's actually alot lol
Basically it just set up the device that Sator wanted
yeah i have a basic idea of what was going on, but the point is, the opening of the movie shouldn't require a huge paragraph just to understand what they were actually doing
and also why di d they, out of any other way to cause the fire safety to go off in oslo, decide to crash a fucking plane into it LMAO
And it sets up the TENET organization, I don't think the details of who exactly he was already working with was meant to be important
Not from the air, don't be so dramatic
Is anyone having issues with Twitter not working
lol
i mean personally i'm more character driven so tenet wasn't as good for me as his other stuff
thats why i love interstellar because the emotional drive of the movie is cooper and murph
@plain forge please release the frontiers trailer
do it
No
I would never have any issues with that. But thanks for asking.
Will the real Sean Murray please stand up?
Lol
And it starts... Will prolly be evacuating for another damn hurricane...
darn tootin
Can't wait until we move the hell out of Louisiana...
take care of yourself :c
stands up
Hi 
Yes, Sergeant of Master Sergeants Most Important Person of Extreme Sergeants to the Max

O
At first I thought that was saying it was doritos flavour doritos.
delete dis

My school by Seattle had bagged milk
isn't that just ablone?
I’ve tried them, they are ok
I think it’s funny af
I wanna try the cool ranch Doritos Lay's
Oreo now has an apple cider donut flavor. I have to try that, too
I have a personal goal to try as many randomly flavored things as I can
It doesn't always end well
Key lime pie KitKats are gross
I really liked the java chip Oreos but idk if they're still around 
They are. Sweet
I'll just have my daily scoop of dirt instead.
dirt? i prefer the texture of gravel
The only oreo flavor I ever tolerated was the dark chocolate ones, still too sweet
I prefer the texture of sand
Feels nice on my teeth
😦

God I forgot how bad her outfits were 💀
I guess I never cared about her wardrobe, can't remember any of her outfits 
I'm guessing my access to #archived-old-serious was removed. Could I know why? I don't remember the issue this time.
Looking at her gifs....I'm surprised I don't remember
lotta unique styles
I can't see any msgs
Probably best to private DM an admin or mod
Pretty sure who ever did it posted the reason openly in #archived-old-serious
I just can't see it.
They feast

The word fluffle doesn't give me rabbits in gifs :[
👃
Fluffle isn't in OED or Wiktionary. So I think that image may not be very accurate.
That's why I tagged Adam
Usually he knows the answer to everything
Wanted to see if it slips past the Oxford Dictionary of NMScord
🤣
None of those names for a group of things are technically real. But fluffle is correct for bunnies
BUNBUN
I'm gonna secretly steal some of your emotes someday

I'm pretty sure the bunny one I posted is in a public server
I was mainly joking, but ty for the info 
Winter opens up the bunny gif repository....face alight with glee
Winter, Rose, Knight, Moon
It's all the same to me 
Alright cool

Don't you hate when you buy a fantastic meal, share it with someone and they're just like....Eugh
I just can't fathom anyone not liking shawarma
Moon Knight of the Winter Rose
Sounds pretty 
Never had shawarma so I have no opinion on it


Sounds like a Hollow Knight boss - Silksong confirmed

And pats
He looks like a baby so that would either go super well or super badly. No in between
He's pretty friendly. Doesn't seem scared of us
:[ is the parent around? They normally cling to their mommas
Nope he's alone. We've been taking care of him
Sad
Got some food and water for him and a nest
Aw... He looks too little to be away from mama. Poor dude. Thank you for taking care of him
Glad you all are being kind n caring
Bee is now an opossum mama
His name is Fredo
I love Fredo
Maybe he's old enough idk. He's bigger than I thought. But still. Care is good
At the very least he's a cute mascott
He looks so polite
pardon me sir may I please have more food
He's adorable. He slowly meanders to the food bowl, grabs a single piece of food, the scurrys back to his corner and you just hear munching for a minute or two, then he comes back out for another piece
Does this over and over
Animals are the only folks I tolerate chewing loudly because it's cute; humans, not so much.
I'm starting to think you're a Disney Princess B
I might be tbh
I don't know how you got me mixed up with Susie Dent
Susie ❤️
You see she's back on the market?
Daily Mail said so, must be true
Must be then
Will wait for Sun confirmation though
Like Ronaldo going back to Man U
Good joke
Thank you
what a lad
cats hate change especially moving house
He looks cute

Wait, I missed Bee is Opposum mom now!
EEEEEEEEEE! They are very interesting critters. Man those teeth are lethal in adulthood though. Seen one eat its way through a steel fence to get to chickens once
Props to its tenacity, but you aint eating my chickens!
Trapped it and dragged it out into the woods. Never did come back thankfully
HERE HE IS
im not going to sit here and argue with you about which is better because im sick of it. It's fucking stupid. Stop the whole Consoles vs pc and playstation vs xbox. We are all fucking gamers and thats it.
In terms of gaming they are basically the same.
yes they are
im done dont at me again
im talking about power not fucking mods and game selection
im moving on now

-Plug box into TV
-Connect controller
Wallah, never have to think about it again. No worrying about certain parts not being new enough to play certain games, no worrying about stuff like drivers, etc. Just have to buy the $500 box that's the equivalent of a pc running a 2070 Super and I'm set for years
Don't have to worry about recommended or minimum specs on games either
No
Laptops have heating issues and are more expensive
My laptop caught on fire 
Idk, I'll tell you when my Xbox I've had since 2001 finally does 
No, lol. Original Xbox before the 360. I still have it, it still works as of last year 😆
My 360 works too, lol
So does my One S
Cost, ease of use, and nowadays the quality. My Series X is basically the equivalent of a gaming pc running a 2070 Super with a high end SSD, it only cost me $500 and it'll last quite a while. Plus I use it for 4k movie discs on movie nights 😆
You......you do know consoles get a ton of indies, right? Xbox just posted a video about all the Humble games coming to it, not to mention the fact ID@xbox has been a thing for years
I have a crap old laptop I use for work, lol. I only need it for Word
LOL
Ok
-Never had a problem with customer service
-Idk what service marketing you're talking about 
Oh no, I have to drop $60 (or less, if I buy on Black Friday or the holidays) once a year and I get online play and Game Pass 
Once a year I have to spend the price of a new game (or less, if I get it during sales) to get a year of Gane Pass Ultimate (Game Pass+online play), woe is me 
I mean, I don't just get online play. I get Game Pass too. Immediate access to a stupid amount of games, and some future games on day one. Ez deal, to me 
So? You don't own the shit you watch on Netflix or HBO, doesn't seem to bother anyone 😆
Hell yeah, I could use that $45-$60 on 3 🅱️izzas instead 
Not laziness
What a person chooses to use is situational or preference
If I needed $45-$60 once a year that desperately I'd have a helluva lot more to worry about than games, lol. But I don't, so I use it for dank shit 😆
Not the assumptions 🤣
tbh the biggest ripoff on consoles is the online play sub fee requirements
they should really make the online play free and just have ppl subbing for the stupid amount of games
Do tell
you know you're not really helping your argument by calling them stupid and lazy, lol
or they have and disagree
people won't automatically change their mind even if they understand what you're saying if their opinion differs, lol
What deal gets me a library of 100+ games that constantly gets new ones shuffled in, including day one brand new games, for a year, for $45-$60. Hell, sometimes $30 🤣
they'll have moved on to some other platform by whenever that happens probably
Oh god, what if Microsoft, one of the BIGGEST CORPORATIONS ON THE PLANET that runs half the fuckin world, randomly keeled over 😫
there's gain and logic to it, it's cheap enough and gets them access to a load of games for however long the crazy rich bastard company stays around
i don't like it either but if you ask people to buy several games in a year for anywhere from $20-60 per game, and they get any more than one, they'll have spent more than they did on gamepass and that's all that really matters to them
Congratulations, that's 90% of humanity
😐
yes and S0ul's individual choice is going to make that much of an impact, lol
the problem you're arguing over is more structural than individual
Imma tell ya rn chief, me paying the price of a couple pizzas once a year to have fun ain't gonna change the capitalistic hell that is the entire planet
Was Apollo creed the best in rocky one?
This got weirdly philosophical 
S0ul pls stop buying pizzas to save the planet
going around evangelical/missionary style server to server and calling people stupid & lazy is a great way to get nobody to listen to you, just fyi
that's nice, but you should really work on how you try to change people's minds if that's the aim, like i've said
How does one put a value on what someone else finds entertaining 
you do realize some of the same problems you're talking about on consoles are present PC-side right
And uh, what OS does your pc use
the point of disagreement between us isn't so much there as it is on your approach
What if steam goes down, or epic games? Same argument could be made for pc.
Wow didn’t know I was so far scrolled up lol
tbh tho not all Steam games use Steam DRM, similar situation with Epic, but it's a pain in the neck figuring out which ones do & don't
Although nice thing with Steam is that it's very easy to bypass once you learn how
If you don’t have your games installed and steam shuts down that’s it. No games.
You don’t own the games on steam
No you don’t
Steam can take them back at any point and ban your account if they wanted and you’d have no way to fight it
That’s not how steam works. If you buy a game on steam you can only use it on steam
So you don’t own the games
Yes they can
Yes they can it’s in their TOS
The Us has no consumer protection laws that say they can’t
You’re just ignorant
There is no law it’s in their TOS
The shit you just hit agree to when you signed up to steam
Yes they can you’re fucking dumb and I’m blocking you now
Wait, what's the fear? That Steam, as a company, will shut down forever?
Is it hard to get banned on Steam?
Just cause you think I’m fucking lying
Steam and your Subscription(s) require the download and installation of Content and Services onto your computer. Valve hereby grants, and you accept, a non-exclusive license and right, to use the Content and Services for your personal, non-commercial use (except where commercial use is expressly allowed herein or in the applicable Subscription Terms). This license ends upon termination of (a) this Agreement or (b) a Subscription that includes the license. The Content and Services are licensed, not sold. Your license confers no title or ownership in the Content and Services. To make use of the Content and Services, you must have a Steam Account and you may be required to be running the Steam client and maintaining a connection to the Internet.
I’m going to but I don’t like people saying I’m wrong when I know what the fuck I’m talking about
Aye. I know Amazon has the same sort of stipulations with its Prime Video purchases. Like, technically, you're buying the "right to play" or whatever. But generally, I think I have more of a chance at losing physical movies and games during a move than I would from Amazon just deciding I don't own a digital movie I bought through them.
There is no counter evidence. That’s steams agreement
I know it's probably not completely comparable with Steam.
You agreed to it when you made your account. You’re borrowing the games from steam
I just think, legally, they have to put into words that they could do a take-backsies.
It says right there they aren’t sold to you. They are leased
Even if it's barely likely.
They do in that agreement
woah what's happening in here
And they can ban your account and since you don’t actually own the games you have no recourse
ooh legal arguments against two people who probably aren't lawyers, riveting
I’m not a lawyer I’m literally quoting valves lawyers
I'm not inputting myself here, please, carry on
haha, yes they do
I was just wondering how likely it is to get banned from Steam and lose all of your stuff. I assume, if you're doing nothing nefarious, you keep your games forever.
Pretty hard unless u steal steam's game files and upload them elsewhere
The Content and Services are licensed, not sold. Your license confers no title or ownership in the Content and Services
but the company never distributed it, they licensed it
Dudes a lost cause. He thinks he knows everything
i wanna hear him out
I want to watch you dig yourself out of the hole
You don’t purchase it
You license the game
Even if it’s downloaded it won’t work because it has to authenticate your license through steams servers to work
It has to verify you have a license to play that game but if you’re banned you no longer have a license to that game
They revoke it
Regardless if it’s downloaded or not
Yes there is. It’s literally in their TOS
They have full ability if you agree to their TOS stating that they have full ability
Show me a law that says they can’t revoke your license then I’ll believe you
Show me a law
Going to chime in here for a second to tell you all to relax a bit.
Place for discussion, not for rabble.
Exactly so how can you say they can’t legally do it if there is no law saying they can’t?
So they can ban you and not allow you to play games
That’s how it works
None of this, thanks.
If your account is banned it steam servers can no longer verify you have a license to run the game
It’s like trying to launch wow without a subscription. It won’t work
It has to verify you have a subscription through blizzards servers
Let's say hypothetically, you signed a contract saying that someone could take your kitchen sink from you at any point in time. Then that person took it, and you tried to sue them over it. If that person presented that contract in the court of law, would it hold up?
I’m not saying they will but they can if they wanted
It does
Several people have been banned
From several services that are the same exact as valve
I personally would never sign the contract, i just love kitchen sinks too much
If you get banned from wow you can’t play that anymore despite buying the game
It’s the same shit.
Your account can no longer access the license steam gave to you
Oh yeah true, getting banned from online games is quite common and a good example here
Here's a fun concept, let's drop this discussion or continue it in DMs
This is not the place
Also
Hi barky

I would never allow my sink to no longer have it's water
That is ridiculous bubbles, come on.
Anyway, we should drop this now that a mod has said to
@faint arch that's enough
Not sure what you're speaking about here.
If you purchase a game from a company, you do not own that game. You own a license to play it. Companies can, and have, revoked licenses to play the game. It isn't illegal for you to carry on playing that game. If a company wants to go out of their way to make sure you cannot play it, they absolutely can ala Blizzard or Activision who have, in the past, disabled games once they've reconnected to the servers they're being hosted off of. In fact you will, more than likely, never own more than just a license to use any digital good because there's no need for it. Ownership would be the source code, maybe, and even that's a stretch. If a game developer decides, at random 'Hey, screw Burning Bubbles' and decides you cannot play the game, they have every right to do that and to go above and beyond what is required to stop you from infringing on their intellectual copyright. It isn't a restaurant, and the laws stopping it are still in their infancy if they even exist (Which they barely do).
Steam won't usually go beyond this call because they're a platform. When you speak of legality it's a grey area, but no, Steam cannot do that. What they can do, is stop any access to their servers which verify that you have the ability to play it. Some games need the verification simply to open it, and in the future that'll most likely be the norm. The kitchen sink analogy is a silly one because you're speaking about tangible goods versus something that can simply be copied, cracked, replaced, modded, so on. You cannot just 'copy' water, or make your own version of it.
- An actual lawyer.
As for the insults, I'll be around to ensure that no more start flying, no matter who 'started it' or tagged others.
I don't care.
anyway, donate to the EFF and associated organizations if you want someone to defend your digital rights & such~
Are you saying steam can’t revoke access to your library if they can you because they can. It’s in their TOS
Yo you're a lawyer Barky?
This has happened. Blizzard has done it in the past several times.
That was not meant for you barky sorry
I found this 2015 article. I'm whatever about this being a debate, but I think it's interesting:
No, what I said is that Steam cannot stop you from playing a certain game.
"When consumers buy a DVD or Blu-ray disc, they are not purchasing the motion picture itself, rather they are purchasing access to the motion picture which affords only the right to access the work according to the format’s particular specifications (i.e., through the use of a DVD player), or the Blu-ray Disc format specifications (i.e., through the use of a Blu-ray format player). Consumers are able to purchase the copy at its retail price because it is distributed on a specific medium that will play back on only a licensed player."
Yes it was I’m an idiot
Yes.
Woah that's really cool
Why do so many people here have cool jobs
What is a 'physical' copy these days? Are you asking if Blizzard has gone to somebody's house and removed the CD from their possession?
What do you mean they can’t? If you don’t own it why can’t they prevent you from playing a game they licensed to you?
Because it's up to the company who licenses the game out to take that action. Not Steam.
If you break Steam TOS, that's a different matter.
If you hack in Call of Duty, it's up to the maker of Call of Duty to deal with you.
It's important to note that many laws concerning entertainment media (digital or otherwise) are heavily influenced by the corporations that want nothing more than to erode ownership rights
But it’s in steams TOS that they reserve the right to revoke access to the games they license to you. They are licensing the game to your through their platform.
And again, that is a Steam TOS thing, which, yes, if you break they can remove it.
I think any corporation is probably not going to want to tell you that you own a piece of their media library. There does seem to be a bunch of legalese involved here, but it's all in defense of said corporations' collective asses.

and then there was silence
Hacking in a game is not breaking Steam TOS. Hacking in multiplayer may be at a stretch, but usually that comes down to VAC more than Steam's TOS.
So Steam may stop you using your library as a whole, or their servers.
They certainly won't remove a game unless the developer/publisher specifically requests it.
right, which is why by and large i disregard it and do with the end product what i will (within reason, like i'm not gonna start selling ripped files or somesuch, lol)
That’s the only thing I’ve been saying is that steam does reserve the right to revoke your license but he just didn’t understand it for some reason. Thanks for coming in and trying to clarify it
The Burning Bubble's person was just being silly. I do agree ownership for digital media is being eroded (Ala, does not exist), but they kept moving the goalposts. It went from digital goods to hard copies, so on.
well no, they were saying Valve wasn't about to go and destroy the hard drive holding the game files
but also trying to say that in the worst possible ways
Which is a really silly point to make.
No, companies will not send Swat to your house.
To stop you from playing if you've been banned.
And I doubt they’d even be allowed to destroy or take a physical thing you bought. It’s different with digital goods
If they felt threatened enough, couldn't they have the hard drive seized? Legit question based on at least one movie that was physically hunted down at some point
They cannot destroy anything physical of yours because they do not own it.
You own the CD, not what is on it.
well this is where it gets murky, right? since digital media's still big babby in legal terms
This is where it gets a bit more concrete - if they believe the goods are in violation of the law they can have them seized so long as they have good intent and reasoning behind it.
i mean it's not like digital media exists wholly independently of a physical storage medium
Tbh I just make my own games that way I own them
Ah, makes sense
Most digital goods you don’t actually own like Barky said. You are just licensing it or “renting” it but if you break the TOS they can take that license away because you don’t actually own it
Digital media =/ physical copies of that media.
Best practice right there
They cannot break anything physical of yours.
Can't snap a CD, or burn a hard drive. You own those things.
so like, they could revoke the license, but if you still have the data stored on a hard drive or some other backup, they can't really go and wreck that, lol
it's fuckin' weird
I’ll be right over to break all your cds to prove I can. Lol
Omw to fuck your CDs
Yeah. Hence why Blizzard, when they did actually do this sorta thing, just bricked your game the minute you connected to their servers.
it's like you got a box and it's filled with "rentals" i guess is sorta how the law sees digital junk
CDeez nutz lmao
Hacking in Starcraft stops you from playing singleplayer.
And you can't start the game without connecting to their servers.
So having a physical copy means nothing, you have to pirate it/download a crack to play it.
And that's when y'start breaking the law.
i still have starcraft 1 no blizznet BAYBEY
Imagine if hacking and modifying elder scrolls games bricked your game lol. Bethesda would be dead as a developer
Inb4 they ban modding on ES6
I'll do yours if you do mine
Damn I just jinxed it
well yes & no, if memory serves isn't it technically legal to bypass DRM to maintain the functionality of a product
Nope, lol.

Not sure where you read that, but definitely not.
In fact, that's a huge debate going on in the EU right now, where that is hopefully coming into place soon.
Looks like it’s agaisnt copyright law to break a drm
Though companies will lose money because of it, so unfortunately I doubt Americans will benefit.
Aren't they trying to outlaw drm?
That’s what I’m reading
“To translate all that legal-speak, the ruling states that achivists will be allowed to modify games that have been legally bought or downloaded, whose devs or copyright owners have shut down servers. Essentially, as long as it’ll only be played in a personal, local, or preservative manner (i.e. in a videogame museum) and no-one’s making money from it, games can be rebooted even after they’ve been shut down by their developers.”
So looks like mainly for older stuff
The actual document sourced https://s3.amazonaws.com/public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2018-23241.pdf
lol
Lol
regardless of the exact legality, i still just do as i said earlier, bypass/backup as i will, lol
Good thing you know a lawyer. Just in case
@sweet tendon hint hint your services may be needed in the near future
nah, loads of folks in games do this
especially older ones, since good luck keeping old hardware going without tinkering

Craig Safan conducts his Last Starfighter Suite at the 2014 International Film Music Festival in Cordoba, Spain
all we got moved today was our bed, 2 computers, 5 monitors, 1 tv, 2 chairs and stuff for the kitties. Forgot to get shower stuff over here and I need one super badly. I also guarantee I burned over double my calorie intake today because show hot it was.
Oh and all but 2 computer desks
For the heavy items
I have ... too many computer desks in this room
Well we still have my work desk to move, my wife's secondary desk and the table
Plus all the other stuff
A really friendly neighbor helped us today and if it wasn't for him it we wouldn't have been able to get the heavy shit done
Astronomy Pic of the Day: Mars Rock Rochette
Explanation: Taken on mission sol 180 (August 22) this sharp image from a Hazard Camera on the Perseverance rover looks out across a rock strewn floor of Jezero crater on Mars. At 52.5 centimeters (21 inches) in diameter, one of the rover's steerable front wheels is at lower left in the frame. Near center is a large rock nicknamed Rochette. Mission planners don't want to avoid Rochette though. Instead Perseverance will be instructed to reach out with its 2 meter long robotic arm and abrade the rock's surface, to determine whether it has a consistency suitable for obtaining a sample, slightly thicker than a pencil, using the rover's coring bit. Samples collected by Perseverance would be returned to Earth by a future Mars mission.

ima try to play it safe
please be careful XD
sounds like Right To Repair
Right to repair is making headway all over the world. It is legal in a number of US states.
Though I find it funny that the right to repair lobby pushed by Ifixit promotes Dell....A company notorious for designing proprietary hardware that make repairs or upgrades physically impossible without costly overhauls.

What do you guys think HG’s next project is going to be
Also how is this discord going to handle it
Since this is a NMS focused discord atm, and that project (probably) isn’t NMS related
Wont know for years i suspect
Its not something all the contract artists have leaked, and they are the weak link usually
Genre wise, we have no clue
All we know is from a interview with sean saying, that its the inverse of nms
A deep, smaller space, versus a wide, shallow
So imagine if say nms was set in a solar system, with all the biomes, across a small amount of worlds scenario
Reminds me of outer wilds
What’s important, is that interview is from like 2 years ago
I imagine they’ve developed more on it
Assuming it’s still going
So I think talking about it at the least is warranted
As of now we won't be evacuating... Feel sorry for the people that will get hit with this thing though...
That project is still hiring now @mint spear
Youll find job listings for a undisclosed project now and again.
Last HG said, they had over 70 devs working on it
So its big, bigger then NMS actually
Lol , I just took a week off genshin, came in at the last minute and did 3 events.

You blue now
You purple now
Yes
That's cause you're fabulous.


How you doin'
Dunno

Tbh I just wanted some of their bread
Unless it's well disguised or in specific foods, I really hate mayo.
I can tolerate not liking certain foods and still eating them if there's nothing else but mayo actively makes me barf on the smell alone T_T
Can't judge cause I'm like that with random dressings
Which is weird because I really really like potato salad
Potato salad is ew :<
Am l the only one that sometimes just dreams while being awake
No you aren’t
Fr I can remember everything that is happening, I can even make movements that I make in the dreams and I can realize it a few seconds later because then again, I am awake
It's so weird it only recently started happening to me
Idk man that is so fucking weird
I had a dream where I was swiping on my phone and then a few seconds later I snapped back to reality realizing I was just swiping on my bed sheets
I was probably on YouTube shorts in my dream or something lmao
I mean I've become fully conscious in a dream if that's what you mean. Like, fully aware that it's a dream and in full control
I space out for hours, sometimes almost most of the day, just daydreaming about other worlds with full plots, lore, n characters. Don't register anything else, everything is extremely vivid and detailed
Not quite the same, but it's addicting n relaxing
Actually I didn't realize it's a dream, I am sort of awake just in my own world not realizing it
Yeah could be
I have leftover veggie lasagna for dinner
I can make movements and if I am not wrong I actually supported my body with my arms while I was scrolling on my phone in my dream while doing it irl
It's fun until your brain starts implementing logic.
like no you can't manipulate fire or hoover -takes away abilities-
I do get a bit like that after I wake up in the morning and stay half a asleep
I'm usually disembodied anyway lol
My dreams are.. weird
I don't remember how those happen to me because I actually forget when did I "half dream'd" after a few hours
I just remember that they do happen
It's cool and horrifying in the same time
God, that's really poor urban development building that close to the sea.
Cool pic tho
Pic makes me kinda sad to think that Dubai will go bye bye once sea level rises
Then again Dubai is just masking how horrible of a place it is
