yeah couch co-op used to be great before the internet
two of my daughters spend most of their time in the bedroom playing a form of it, but with an online presence, as they both have an Xbox S for Roblox. We set them up in a way they can both share their screens or keep them hidden.
Sometimes when I'm trying to sleep I can hear them playing. It's so awesome. They go work things out together, share rare drops in games, team up against others, and have such a good time. The banter reminds me of the old days too.
errant raven
Are you letting them play games that have rarity based loot so you can raise them to farm those hybrid gun drops in borderlands 1 for you
fathom wadi
I let them play what they want to as long as it's not got sexual content, which would be inappropriate for their ages. I don't like them playing pay to win RNG games but that's the standard now. If they wanted to play Diablo 4 or some other less exploitative type of RNG I'd be happier. Diablo Immortal I'd put my foot down though.
also, I never liked BL1. But that hybrid loot was tasty sounding. I saw that vid about the Nemesis hybrid. That was mental.

meaning... quite the opposite of verified
I also like the connection that because Pokemon Go can access your files, a completely normal permission for a game to have, this means it is scanning and uploading the contents of all of them
It couldn't be that a game stores some local save data and it needs your camera because it's an AR game, it's a government plot definitely

and how me, the broke as hell, youtube tutorial taught single dev is supposed to somehow compete with: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1928980/Nightingale/
when i make space games
like this is the most advanced my project got: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31hLMQ0Jisg
summer cedar
If you don't want to fight/contest, change your studio's name to Mightingale.
And call yourself superior, because M comes before N.
Send them a particularly nasty meme.
white oxide
so apparently they arent fighting the studio name
but that my games name is "nightingale: Birth of the Alliance"
main characters ship is the GANS Nightingale
white oxide
I chose the name cause i grew up with a flock of these annoying shits: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_nightingale
its a common name
using a DCMA vs simply contacting me or my team through our vasrious contact methods is kinda stupid
I am also at a loss to why they named their game as such, given as i have played it, and nothing really strikes me as needing the "nightingale" name
summer cedar
Well, file a counter-notice.
white oxide
in antiquity there were a bunch of singers that earned the tittle "nightingale" usually because they were fairly small women with very strong voices. and given the architecture used the seem set in the same period
summer cedar
And/or talk to a lawyer.
white oxide
I talked with steam, and they pretty much said "talk to them"
summer cedar
In the case of a DMCA takedown notice, you have the right to file a counter-notice.
white oxide
worst that happens, i try harder to make better shit and then take a minor vendetta
summer cedar
The original party has 14 days to file a lawsuit against you, or their notice stands revoked.
white oxide
if they wanna be petty, i have nothing else to do in my life so...
i honestly dont get how my game is infringing, simply looking at its store page for 2 seconds would tell you, that yeah, they are action based games, they arent even in the same nominal genre
hard sci-fi vs magical fantasy
The Expanse vs Lord of The Rings
summer cedar
Put your arguments in the counter-filing.
If they aren't serious, they won't respond to the counter-filing and the DMCA will be removed.
white oxide
probably should have trademarked my company back then, but never expected to find someone this insecure about their own stuff
unreal ether
i honestly dont get how my game is infringing, simply looking at its store page ...
Because you're infringing on their trademark. They hold an active trademark for "Nightingale" to any action based computer game.

yeah
tbh, i think this was filed via some Ai
because it only tagged the game with the name in the title icon
not the other game thats clearly part of a franchise put on steam in 2023
and the other 6 games with "nightingale" in their name havent been hit
unreal ether
Not sure, definitely going to be some automation behind it.
Either way, you're going up against Tencent against a valid trademark. Sounds pricey, I'd cut my losses and rename the game
white oxide
tbh, at this point, the name isnt the issue, its the instant dcma when its easy to get my studios contact info

and i have a free lawyer who enjoys wasting big corpo's time
family member lawyers are always fun

I literally can only see a single other game on steam with nightingale in, and that's yours that's been hit
white oxide
ran the other side like 13 million into lawyer fees
steam already took down the one that got DCMA'd
why i think its automated
they gave me the email of someone to annoy so
unreal ether
out of curiosity, what exactly is wrong with the automation of it?
There's far too much that gets uploaded to steam and other platforms to do it manually.
And if you don't enforce it, you lose it
white oxide
no issue, but it feels like its going to be bad optics for them if they really wanna fight it
hell, enough people hate tencent it might actually be some good publicity for my projects
wrote a like 40,000 word essay for their contact guy explaining pretty much everything about the studio, who we are, what the games were, and all that.
I honestly have nothing to physically lose, i have no assets, no money, and im legally disabled. any judge will se theres literally nothing tencent could get out of a lawsuit
unreal ether
How is it bad optics? It's not like they're wrongfully approaching it.
They're just protecting their trademark for their game, the same way if you were to release Fortnite, or Tomb Raider or Battlefield
The way I see it, you're just wasting your own time when there's plenty of other names you can choose.
white oxide
oh i know, but ive been fairly bored lately
unreal ether
I'd get it if it was something super generic like "Platformer Game", or "Space Game"

its based on a bird

Fortnite is based on 2 weeks.
Tomb raider is based on graverobbing

unreal ether
I *KNOW* i could just change the name, but a lot of it is the simple principle, ...
I still don't get the simple principle though. They own that name for action games fair and square. They've not banned all games using it, just games in their genre. That's fairer than I'd expect from someone owned by Tencent.
You can still have the ship called the nightingale and the studio named as such, you've just got to change the game title, which isn't an unreasonable ask

unreal ether
I don't think they're going for a lawsuit, just contesting the DMCA
white oxide
not like it wouldnt be obvious when/if we get to court
white oxide
tbh, wasting the courts time is an absolutely accurate description of 99% of how these big companies fight lawsuits
unreal ether
I mean that normally comes with the express goal of financially crippling the other :P
white oxide

But you’re already financially crippled so…
unreal ether
I still think those cases are dumb. Let it be a pistol duel at dawn between the CEO's. 12 steps then turn

white oxide
i cant really be financially crippled, but my lawyer is fully willing to do these actions to cost them enough money they stop fighting and accept the legal fees would be far in excess of whatever possible financials i might somehow steal from them in the next 2-3 years before their game falls into total obscurity
i mean their game has like zero popularity anymore and its only been 9 months
companies like tencent are focused on squeezing every penny they can out of a game
you really think they will spend tens or hundreds of thousands on fighting someone who has no real costs just to try and prevent to radically different games from somehow competing
I doubt they have made that off this game in the last 3 months
it would be different if they had several thousand constantly active people, but this game isnt even out of EA and its apparently already dropped off the radar

I’m from CISPA and we’re doing public research on computer security in video games. I was advertising here before for an interview study we just finished (https://research.teamusec.de/2023-game-dev/), and we’re now doing a survey about challenges in fighting cheating in games. We’re interested in your individual experiences and opinions with anti-cheat from a developers perspective. The survey would take about 10 minutes to complete, and we’re raffling off 25x10 Amazon vouchers as a small thank you.

yep, seen articles about it too. "tip fatigue" . it got out of hand with Covid. now you have places like Taco bell asking for tips on receipts.
I'm not stingy, BUT I also tip well for services that are good or above and beyond what is expected. Service workers years ago would tend to agree, but now they have a lot of Genz brats that just immediately want more money without work

I was talking to hristew and it wasn't about Trump. But since you asked, yes. I know what a fascist is. If you can't recognise the fascist inclinations in what Trump says, then you don't see any big picture. You simply live in the 'bubble', as you say, that you have constructed for yourself. Whether people vote for a fascist or not, is irrelevant to whether or not the person has fascist inclinations.

Was this the case prior to right wing views taking hold all over the world?
ashen marlin
right wing is just a progressive term to describe how the majority of the world felt for most of it's history, nothing radical
i was just simply saying many people toss these terms around stupidly , and it's predominantly the left. and i can pull up dozens of videos and articles about it.
so when people say somebody is a 'fascist' do you really m ean it? are they? do you just not agree with somebody? are you mad you got called out? etc. fascism is a heck of a lot more associated with force thinking, coercion, censorship, group think, etc
and some parties align that way much more than an other. at this point we are not looking at elections, and i mean this across the world, it's good vs evil. there will be no fence sitting. major changes are happening in this world. many power players at the global scale have been looking for the right opportunity to fully seize control. it almost happened with covid. do you not think these folks have not been plannign this for years? and have said it right in the open?
Somebody said it earlier. the big thing Trump did was expose what has already been happening. they are mad trump showed the world the wizard(s) behind the curtain. almost all parties grift from the same trough and he wants to destory that. that's why he's hated

No. A lot of bad things happened and are happening over the last couple of years. It's not an EVIL plan or conspiracy theory.
Like I said before, you built a bubble for yourself and justify it.

conspiracy theory is a term coined by governments to stop people from critizicing them

i was just simply saying many people toss these terms around stupidly , and it's...
Well maybe its because literal fascism is actually taking hold
summer cedar
And yes, Trump's a fascist. He basically encouraged his party to rescind the PRESS act, to suppress journalists.
That's the latest indication of fascist tendencies.

I never heard of our fascist candidate until election day. Looked up his interview and yup, fascist. No media apparatus, just my opinion
ashen marlin
it's clear some people can not handle big boy politics or issues. so probably best to put it to rest
there is so so so so much more going on . trump is a single piece of it all
and the media and criminals have you distracted over in the corner with trump like a cat with a ball of yarn
summer cedar
What's clear is that some people type a lot without saying anything.
ashen marlin
something BIG is afoot. yes it is evil. yes it involves globalist organizations and their plans...again not MY words. theirs
no, you just don't wanna dig deeper. because your bubble is comfort
summer cedar
But sure, let's give it a rest.
ashen marlin
i'll leave you with this. words, emotions, feelings dont matter as much as staying aware and safe. have food, batteries, blankets, water, etc. everybody should have a bugout bag. not everybody will have something happen, but i guarantee you 'stuff' is gonna happen soon around the world
summer cedar
I never heard of our fascist candidate until election day. Looked up his intervi...
Is he speaking about improving living conditions and wages, and stuff?

the problem in general is the very arena of politics draws people that are not suited to be in such a position. and the people SUITED for the position don't want it
it also shows how many of these people are central figureheads. vs who's running the show. it's why so many people inpolitics talk a smooth game but really are just so vile or do things you're like wtf?
One classic example of this was the literal first episode of black mirror
bribery, threats, blackmail are the currency of politics for millenia and it's no different with most countries in this world. so imagine anybody we know of in a public position that has SOME sort of dirt and forced to do and sday things. especially things we may say 'oh thats fascist'. im not giving excuse i'm just saying, typically there is something more sinister going on
hristew are you talking about UK?

Make romania great again, bring back jobs and industry, refuse EU "sclavery", put everyone into their roles again, make an alliance with russia
ashen marlin
ah romania thats right
didn't romania have their prior fascist leader AND wife hung in town square?
it was like 89?
or was that hungary
well, one big lie is the constant peddling that putin is the boogieman
just because he wants to protect his border doesnt mean he wants to literally start ww3.
also when you remove people like him, you always leave a WORSE problem with a vacuum
killing saddam was a classic example. he was bad yes. removing him cleared the weay for worse and the cia knew it

They were killed by firing squad in 89 yes
ashen marlin
there are many powerful CONNECTED wealthy players at the world stage pulling many levers we don't see
this is clear when you see government leaders and media pundits all talking like they read the same script.
i predict that most countries will pull from the EU and will bankrupt the EU. the EU serves the EU not the people
unborn lotus
well, one big lie is the constant peddling that putin is the boogieman
one kinda is when he goes to war on another country

This is really not the place/server to argue about politics because that never ends well
ashen marlin
ok good point. sorry too deep rabbit hole.
So how about them broncos beating the raiders last night 😛
summer cedar
Just looking through my meme files.
I spotted this one.
I made it in paint for another server.
As might be obvious, it was a question of crabs vs moths.
ashen marlin
was this a game reference?
summer cedar
I don't think so. I made it a while ago.
I think it was for a literal crabs vs. moths.
