WHAT ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT RIGHT NOW?
Posts
Been thinking of getting a new laptop. I did a small amount of research today, amongst which was finding out that I still had my notes-file from when I got my current 'top (back in 2009)?
Darigaaz, that's both beautiful and saddening at the same time.

man, if their shitgames can get onto Steam, there's no reason that my shitgames shouldn't be on there!
...except that I am giving them away for free.

I know I'd put my shitgames on there if I had $100 and any faith in the system to push me through in less than 4 years.

You know, I've always thought of Steam Greenlight as this big, scary thing where you really have to impress an audience to get a game sold onto the store page, but I guess that's not the case?
By the way, Kentona and TehGuy have reminded me with their posts. I've got a free copy of VX Ace for anybody who wants it.
Edit: I just have the one key from Humble Bundle, so it's first come first serve.

I'm thinking about how Death Parade is such a depressing anime, and then the opening is super lighthearted (not to mention absurdly addictive!). It's like a metaphor for life, it's fun at some moments, and then everything gets dark. I really hope they make a season 2.

Tonight I sleep in my own room. Tomorrow (or the day after), I may have my computer in there. While my vacation in the living room has been a cool and exciting one, it's time for me to go back home.
I'm thinking about how I've returned.
Hi. In other news, I disappeared just before Minno messaged me. It was good to hear from her, although my two month silence was probably a bit off-putting~

Ugh. I love my brother, I really really do but when I have to argue with him about whether or not he's allowed to rip game graphics and call them his own because "I downloaded them to the computer so they're my files and I don't believe in Copyright because the Bible never had it and code is just maths where 1+1 =2" I just want to, IDK, strangle the fucker.

Why are people so, so, so very stupid? Glad I didn't share those resources with him that I was going to.
Another gem from him: "If I downloaded your game and took your stuff, you wouldn't mind."
Uh, yes. Yes, I fucking well would, you complete and utter nutcase. I can feeeeeel the grey haiiiiiiirs already. ;.;
Kentona, don't worry, you won't lose me to stress from the SubQ because frankly, I'm used to bullshit in my everyday life. The SubQ don't have shit on what I gotta deal with at home sometimes. XDDD

What bowels of hell and/or damning prison kept you from your sacred place?
@Seiromem My internet collapsed into a black hole. It's true, I saw it!
But wouldn't be interesting if I actually had been in some kind of prison or hell? Call me Bad Boy Gourdy~

I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

I approve of people ripping graphics, but at least I can explain my reasoning better than "I don't believe in copyright because I don't believe in copyright." And I don't trick myself into thinking the other person wouldn't mind. I'm just an asshole who doesn't care if they mind, as long as the end result is more games.
Game developers are useful tools for making games. They're important, and valuable, and you should take care of them. But the reason they're worthwhile is because they create games. If a game designer is trying to stop other people from making games, for example because he or she thinks that his or her copyright ownership is more important than other people's games, then that game designers no longer has value and should be removed from the community and ignored. You can't forbid the creation of a game because it would offend a game designer. That's like forbidding the creation of a painting because it would damage your paintbrush.

Of course, we always disagree on that point so I won't even try to reason with you about it, but at least you're honest about your stance in this topic and recognise that while you personally believe it to be so, that doesn't mean you won't go to jail for it if you do the thing. ;p
He actually thinks he has the right to anything that he 'owns'. Tried to tell me he could sell the schematics for anything he'd every bought if he so desired. I just face-palmed my way back to my room and wished him luck with not going to prison for that. Idiot.
"Music is just chords so I can just sell any song if I sing it." No, brother. No. The world does not work that way. I can't promise to visit you if you go to jail for doing stupid-ass shit like that. Granted, this is the same brother who is highly susceptible to bullshit claims like "We've never been to the moon because there's a radiation belt in the way and we'd die!!!" (Hey, there's these suits that allow you to go around in radiated areas, bro. You think they couldn't fix it so a space shuttle won't get affected by such a thing, you idiot?!) and that all angels are male just because some dude pointed out the Bible said 'Sons of Man' in a verse that had nothing to do with angels.'

I have to keep reminding myself I love the idiot.

Gourdy! We were a little worried about you, nice to have you back.
When my dad was a teenager, he was hired to do the part of John Lennon for a Beatles cover album. The studio got sued, but got off of the infringement charges because nobody could prove it wasn't the Beatles singing in the cover albums (They still couldn't sell the albums anymore and had pay royalties).

...that's amazing
Goooourd, welcome back!
Also, my PC went into the abyssal depths for a moment shortly after I tried to get Gothic II to start on steam. Silly me, buying it again on steam ..
Refund requested, got through the blue screen while booting once and could restore settings. Whew.

Thanks for the welcome back, guys~<3
Obviously, I can relate to your computer problems, Kylaila. I'm glad you could make it through at least!
author=Ratty524You pay a hundred dollars and get enough signatures, if you're relevant at all you can get on there easy.

Desura is entirely different, it's all done via human moderation, what this means is it can take time.
Quite some time for your game to be accepted, worth it?
Hell yes.

Does your brother wear a fedora that's actually a trilby or visit 4Chan? Because, no offence, but he sounds like the dumbasses that that go there and think they're enlightened and ahead of the curb.
Thinking it's okay to steal and "self-copyright" someone else's work is one thing, but not believing in the Moon Landing(s)?
...That's a paddlin'.

While I think that the current state of copyright law is horrifically, insanely out of date and badly put together/managed, I think we need to take that out of the picture when talking about stolen music, graphics, or IPs themselves, because the issue is largely one of morality and respect to your fellow creators.
I'm not going to try and touch on the policies used on this site, because we all know that I don't agree with the "Robin Hood" stance the rules here use, and I know I'm not gonna up and change your mind or anything, BUT
I think it's harmful to consider it okay to steal from certain or all people in the name of "creating more games", especially when you consider how many artists in the industry can't find work, how much free to use content is out there, etc. You're only hurting the industry by doing so, and I would go as far as to say that the industry doesn't need more games cobbled together with stolen material, it needs more original ideas and the sharing thereof.
