There are no good software patents. The concept should be abolished.

It’s gotta be hard redrawing those exact pixels from scratch, every single day.

Why is it… oh god dammit.

Hail corporate.

Trash bird power couple.

German-American culture was heavily downplayed, in the 20th century… for some reason.

Honestly it’d taken a huge hit before either war. New York City’s wealthy German families had an annual cruise together. One year, the boat sank.

… has there been a second?

Contrapoints: “'That’s what happens when the snowflake / shitpost tension collapses into pure shitposting. It’s boring. And immature. Like when someone says he wants to watch the world burn. You only get to watch when you have the privilege of not being on fire.”

Copyright needs an unambiguous cutoff because it kinda has to be automatic. You can invent something and not patent it. Copyright is implicit.

Which is why it should be 30 years from publication, without exception. Possibly shorter.

fn_dirt2, just as good, only backwards.

Patents in general should have mandatory licensing, because there’s no artistic concern. You did something clever? Great, here’s a pile of money. All you care about is the height. Do not hold us back.

Holding back software for twenty years is obscene. Twenty years ago, mobile gaming meant the Game Boy Advance. Twenty years before that, IBM PCs were still 5 MHz in 4 colors. Twenty years before that, microprocessors hadn’t been invented.

I once saw a car make a slow left turn, and both its right-side hubcaps kept going straight.

“We’re forced to!”

Are you against that?

You spent a shitload of money, scheming to reshape American democracy. Was a single penny spent toward untying your tortured hands?

Do any of these assholes ever address this, as anything besides an excuse for their individual evils?

You do not get to decide who lives or dies. No one does.

The CEO did.

Oh, the leaked Doom 3 alpha.

Dread Cthulu looks upon an anglerfish and burbles - “Dude, you good?”

Overlay the video of this with the audio of that bear opening a car door.

“What the fuck?! What the fuuuck?!”

They don’t give two shits for consistency. They just need a narrative where they’re the heroes for being born on the correct dirt.

Whatever you need to tell yourself, honey.

Lose.
