Stardew Valley was totally, unquestionably copying harvest moon. And its fantastic.

So Nemesis System is an enemy that you will find multiple times through the game and he will be different according to your choices? How didn't Nintendo sue WB saying they copied it from the first Pokemon game.

In fact, I'd go so far as to *encourage* copying others. Not plagiarising outright, as in claiming it as your own, but taking a concept and doing it yourself. "Oh that game is just a copy of Animal Crossing." You think you can make a better Animal Crossing? Go for it. Let me decide who did it better and which one I wanna play.

I'm guessing the video owner is YouTube, I'd be surprised if the channel can control that. How are you trying to watch the video?

IP laws are meant to protect creators, but are backdoored by corporate personhood. Remove corporate personhood and the world of IP law immediately becomes less toxic.

Something about this is absolutely hilarious to me. Sad though when thinking about it critically.

You probably know more about YouTube channel controls than i do. Anyway, piefed, in a post. The video worked at first, then it didn't.

WB hasn't used the nemesis system since 2017, and likely won't use it again at this point. By the time the patent expires it might be a lost system.

The “nemesis system” is just hundreds of voice lines and a dice roll to decide when they pop up. I liked the middle earth games but always thought it was funny how they pushed the nemesis system like some kind of groundbreaking thing.

Oh interesting, but in piefed, you are still just opening a youtube link correct? The website wouldn't be changing unless the link is being forwarded or something else like that.

In the post, the YouTube link is above and the video is below. Initially, the video was viewable directly, then on subsequent visits it changed.

Interesting. I guess that's a piefed feature? Is there a client that you are using or is this just using the web ui?

It would if I could get modded Skyrim to work. Months working on my mod list only for it CTD on start up.

That's why you enable mods in small batches. When you get an issue it's a lot easier to find the offender. Also, if you're getting a CTD on startup you're probably missing a dependency. Mod Organizer 2 is a lot better with warnings about that than Vortex

Fuck software patents. Copyright made sense when it was a decade or two. Industrial patents seem basically functional. Trademark's mostly truth-in-advertising for consumer choice. But software patents aren't about *how* you do something - they're claiming the entire concept, in the broadest possible terms, and killing it. Straight-up murdering that potential. It is denied the necessary iterative competition that turns dogshit first implementations into must-have features. Nobody's gonna care in twenty years. Entire hardware form-factors have come and gone in a single decade. Can you imagine if swipe keyboards were *still* single-vendor, and still worked like in 2009? Or maybe Apple bought them, and endlessly bragged about how Android can't do [blank], because fifty thousand dollars changed hands in the 3G era. How many games would not exist, if Nintendo had decided they own sidescrollers? A whole genre, wiped out, because a piece of paper says those mechanics are theft.
