Yup. It never made an sense to patent the Nemesis System. It’s easy enough to make a slightly different version, yet I have spent hours talking about it. Just a waste of energy.

Game design patents are, by and large, a bad idea. We have been making bosses that adapt to players since day one. Why even try to patent something like this? It’s absolute nonsense. The only effect I have seen is that it makes games worse because people have to waste time talking about patents.

I don’t see how this is even something that could be patented.

It’s just another meaningless distraction from his corruption and incompetence. That’s how he wins.

Yes, I do love it when the menu tile shows the winner of the MMA fight I haven’t watched yet, especially while I am searching through the bad UI to find that fight. It’s great. Gud jorb.

The issue here isn’t the eagle, which we have used for centuries. Removing the peace symbol clutched in the talons is indicative of an immature and simplistic understanding of how this world works. We are being governed by clowns.

I feel so bad for laughing, but this bear posting up under this man's house for a good month boosted my serotonin levels like nobody's business. And the fact that they tagged him and dragged him back out to the wilderness and he came right back a year later like, "Now what, bitch?" is sending me.

Morally Binding! Ooooh! Yes, I am sure Trump, Musk, and others feel strongly compelled by the iron shackles of morality.

One thing I miss about the bird app is yelling directly at brands when they mess up. Jack in the Box has once again taken potato wedges off the menu. What ad wizards decided to just randomize all the menus forever? It’s insulting and stupid. 🤡

Oh, I was on the EA Spouse team. I remember it well! (See my profile photo.) I worked 42 days in a row without a break. Crazy times, they were.

I never thought I’d see the day when we had a really excellent Rogue Trooper movie.

Saw Rogue Trooper today at Beyond Fest. 11/10! The best possible expression of the lone clone! I don’t know what we did to deserve something this good. @manmademoon.bsky.social You nailed it, sir! 👍

Dana White makes it virtually impossible to watch MMA. His support of Trump is so entirely craven that it defies belief.

It comes down to whether the art style is compatible with it. If the art director uses it intentionally and likes it, great. If it undermines the art, not great.
