Quoting: EhvisOh, nice! I have a lot of Windows games that need to be hidden! :grin:

Forget porn, that's what Linux users will really be hiding.

yea, were a right bunch of wankers.

. . . by the way, did you know the collective noun for bankers is "wunch"? As in, a "wunch of bankers".

Trailer looks like it could be good.

Quoting: Mountain ManI love complex 4x strategy games, but I don't like the time commitment. A 4x game that can be finished in a single sitting sounds great, but will it sacrifice the depth that makes these kinds of games so appealing in the first place?

That is the question all right.
But y'know, MOO2 doesn't take that massive an amount of time to finish.

In that first demo, why does the guy end up running around in tiny circles while a cat meows?

Quoting: tfkHey Sweeney, are you making a profit yet?

if i had my game finished already i would say something like:
i will publish it on epic games store once it have tens of millions of users :grin:

I'm afraid it does. Mind you, none of them are buying games there, they're all just playing Fortnite. :grin:

Quoting: PikoloThe patent office can't find prior art for those? How? They're all issued since 2019! The only one that even seems novel is AUTOMATED PLAYER CONTROL TAKEOVER IN A VIDEO GAME, and I'd assume someone more familiar with MMORPGs can find an example. ROUTE NAVIGATION SYSTEM WITHIN A GAME APPLICATION ENVIRONMENT is bonkers - we've had animated navigation lines for decades!

USPTO no longer looks for prior art since at least a decade back, the new regime is that they only do very basic checks and then any violations such as prior art is up for a court to decide in a future lawsuit.

That actually explains a lot. Though its very dumb

Oh, it's very clever. It means you can only challenge a patent if you're a deep-pocketed corporation who can afford the lawsuit . . . but those guys swap licenses for their fake patents, so it's less of a deal for them. So the little guys get shafted. That's not luck, that's lobbyist skill.

Well if you want to disolve all private property [External Link] maybe I can borrow some of our stuff

Haha. Is that just being cute, or are you in fact unaware of the distinction between "private property" and "personal property"?

There's something calming about it. Maybe it's the music.

Quoting: 14Came back to say I played a few more rounds before the free weekend ended. I lost a couple more matches but the other players were either silent or nice enough to say "GG." And then I finally won a couple matches in a row. Like anything new, it takes several rounds to get familiar with which units are good counters to other units and all their possible upgrades. It kind of feels like playing with kid toys. "I'm going to set up my army this way!" "And I'm going to set mine up this way!"

"BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM!"

Well I'm glad you didn't lose heart after just one jerk. It's hard to find a crowd without at least one, so.
