Modder, programmer, and all around tinkerer. Yes, I’m that New Vegas and Deus Ex guy.
You can also find me over at lemmy.sdf.org under the same username.
Really early on, too. It was one of the things that made me go “oh wait this isn’t just fart jokes in space”.
Though to be fair, the reality is that no matter how advanced we get there’s still gonna be fart jokes in space. That scene in the cafeteria where everyone’s getting Bortus to eat random things seems like a far more realistic vision of a space-faring post-scarcity future.
It’s to cover the stink of Kai Winn. Even venting the room into the cold vacuum of space can’t sweep out every stray “my child” that gets stuck to surfaces.
Can’t fool me. That’s clearly a Cellular Peptide Cake.
Well then, allow me to share my thoughts on Mr. Berman.
As a child, going from the 60s Batman series to that was almost whiplash inducing. I did not expect animated Batman to give me the feels. I did not expect animated Batman to honestly scare the crap out of me.
I have no idea who decided a 90s kid show should have writing that good but they made the right call. Xanatos is one of the best written villains ever.
Okay, so even assuming that’s the case, “stopping distribution” is different than “we’re gonna charge you for installs of copies you’ve already sold”. Still not seeing how that’s legal.
I know this doesn’t help for existing games but hopefully they can at least get Unity not to make these fees retroactive, seems legally questionable to me as a layman at least.
I’ve yet to see a coherent explanation for how Unity could even legally do that. As far as I know their previous Terms of Service did not include any mention of “also we can tack on additional fees whenever we want even for products that have already been developed” or “by agreeing to this version of the Terms of Service you permanently agree to any future versions of the Terms of Service”, and even if it did I highly doubt that would be enforceable. They’re trying to retroactively apply a fee structure that wasn’t agreed to.
It’s also telling that (according to Ars Technica) they specifically claim that this new fee structure isn’t “royalties” and thus not subject to any protections afforded to royalty agreements. Methinks the lady doth protest too much and all that.
Here’s a non-watermarked version
EDIT: Well it shows up on Kbin anyway. Argh, Fediverse be weird. Here’s a link.
The fact that you even can is kinda boss, NGL.
I would love it if they actually did that.
It totally wasn’t an intentional dig, but damn if the reference didn’t age like a fine wine.
Or people do remember but it’s “not polite” to bring it up. How many schools are named after Colombus? Or Edison?
Combs can carry a show so hard. Imagine if they’d actually gotten to that 5th season of Enterprise with Shran as a main cast member. The show might still be on the air.
I only have vague memories of most of it from watching it as a kid, but recently my spouse and I decided to give it a watch one night and made it through the first 7-ish episodes. About half of the stories were “meh” but the other half were actually pretty good by TOS standards.
Mind you that’s just the stories. The animation itself is definitely a limiting factor, and a lot of what happens is either very sparsely animated or they literally have characters explaining what’s happening rather than fully animating the events. A weird upside of that is that most episodes are practically radio plays, and you can just listen to the audio and understand what’s going on.
From everything I’ve read, most of the “devs” haven’t done any actual work on the game past the initial brainstorming session. The “demo” video shown was just a mock-up.
I mean I’m not surprised since everything relating to the Amico seems to be lies and vaporware, but it’s still disappointing.
