You know, the keystone of the SKG initiative is that players deserve to have access to games they pay for, but what if they aren't paid for? For example, League of Losers is free to play so if SKG passes and best-case-scenario gets everything we want, can Riot still shut down their servers because players never paid for access to the game? If so, that's a crucial weakness in the initiative because I'd imagine every live service game would become free to play and most likely pay to win through a cash shop.

They didnt pay for access to the game, but they did pay for content inside the game, which would require they have access to what they paid for.

What's to stop publishers from giving you a 3D model file of the mtx items and saying "you still have access to what you paid for!" I 100% expect malicious compliance unless SKG manages to specify the MTX items must still be usable in the game they were purchased for after EOL.

Seeing people argue over how to refactor an if/else statement again reminds me why universal literacy was a mistake.

Fresh Harmful Opinions vid on Mald

He started by showing all the time Mald spent shitting on lawmakers and how they're too retarded and worthless to legislate. I thought it'd pivot to how Mald was mad at Ross for "disparaging lawmakers and the legal process". All this buildup into a missed opportunity. Sad!



This "Pirate Software" guy really does just say anything. I'm starting to think I don't like him very much.

I chose my phrasing very carefully because I knew some autists would "erm acktually" me

Talking about programming or computers anywhere is a waste of time. People magically get more or less retarded at any given time just for the sake of arguing semantics.

No, you just send the value corresponding to a into a function that draws the bitmap on screen. The computer has no idea what text even is. It just knows that there is data at certain locations. It's up to the program to interpret that data.

uhh actually the computer doesn't "know" anything, It's just executing a series of instructions.

One of the most flimsiest excuses to try to kill SKG without being a corpo bootlicker and still got outed as one anyway. There were other people championing SKG and he could've talked to any one of them but he wanted to suck AAA cock and now he's paying for it.

Let's take botted (or invalid) votes out of the equation for now. Does having more signatures than necessary influence the policymakers, or if (as unlikely as that'll be) we had 1,000,001 signatures it would make no difference?

Spoiler: Stupid coding bullshit

but this is just FUD from low-levels faggots who wants the web to be Terminal RSS and HTML pages made by people like Jason

I know I should stop spamming the thread with coding bullshit but you can make a perfectly fine looking website without needing all the stupid bullshit beyond basic HTML/CSS/JS/PHP. I've had a harder time making something look old and dated than I have something looking modern using modern HTML5/CSS.

Avoid all JavaScript frameworks when learning. They serve a purpose for getting work done faster, but will give you horrid habits.

The way I see it, once you are done learning how to make basic/decent stuff on the front, you move onto the backend to make Auth and databases.

Truthnuke.

Genuinely off-topic, I know, but I have to clarify: at what point does PHP come into this flow you're outlining considering it still seems fairly prevalent today?

Avoid it if you can. Use it if you must.

Dunno if this is late, but apparently VGE didn't talk to their own developers before putting out their statement.

By the rules of the system, no it doesn't, they have to give it the same level of discussion regardless. In practical reality, knowing that ten million people care alongside a bunch of high profile figures will matter more than one million. Democracy is a popularity contest and nothing else at the end of the day.

But this shouldn't be a huge issue either way, assuming the line is crossed - As Ross stated in his Videos, this is a pretty simple win for politicians. The ask is operating on the basis of logic that most people hold to be morally and rationally right, nobody thinks its fair to hit "Buy" and then have your shit actively reclaimed, look at the Sony digital library backlash recently. Throwing down a few basic "Don't do thats" stem most of the bleeding, don't meaningfully impact profits or firms, and looks good to pretty much every side of the european political aisle.

Almost like having some sort of legal framework put into place would benefit the consumer and prevent the gaming studios and publishers from jewing you out of your hard earned money by exploiting silly loopholes.

What is this?

 

[bossmanpeterson]

Aight, I went through a bit of clips of Mald yapping and I think I know now why he's so fucking insufferable to listen to (on top of him deepening his smug ass voice), while Ross's voice caresses you like silk and makes you trust the man.
Vocal fry.
If you're one of the blissfully unaware of what vocal fry is, watch this video.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=Q0yL2GezneUMind you, Mald doesn't do it all the time and its impact is diminished by his fake bass boost, but it's definitely there, and once you hear it, you will not be able to unhear it. Nowhere near the level of Kardashian whores, but grating nonetheless.
Now, to my memory and knowledge (Game Dungeon on repeat as sleep aid for several months) Ross is nearly completely devoid or vocal fry while talking. An impressive feat, really.

This is a fucking cognito-hazard. I have never noticed this as an American, and I hate that this video has pointed it out.

You may have really ruined my life.

Remember how roblox is against SKG?

Reminder that roblox is ALSO against "discrimination" towards pedophiles.

People likely already knew this with ruben sim stuff but this keeps happening.

 

[The Stranger]

So we agree that the legislation specifically needs to close the loophole?
