oh wow i can’t see how this could go wrong! /s

the whole site honestly reeks of vibecoded in an afternoon too. still extremely funny tho, i hope they win their case

zoning laws when you want to build a nice neighborhood with shops among the houses: 😡🤬✋🛑 think about the Character of the Neighborhood!!!

erhm actually the first word of that book is "dictionary" ☝️🤓

token if someone digitizes a physical medium and makes it available to the public copyright is no longer valid

only if you destroy the original i guess

IDGAF if Newell is a Epstein-class helo-pad yacht billionaire.

that’s the problem, you should give a fuck about this! as well as valve’s history of promoting gambling, and the superprofits they get by overcharging publishers (especially indie devs which don’t get the special reduced rates bigger publishers get). don’t overlook all of this because they run a cool platform you like!
