Had the "stuck hover windows" issue and thought maybe it was Wayland misbehaving; there'd been an update recently and I'm too tired to track down root cause. Or whose fault, whichever. :)

Loved Talos 1, got about halfway into it, then life came at me hard and I had no brainwidth to go at the puzzles in my moments of downtime. I'll buy 3 to support the devs and hope that I can pick up where I left off on the series.

What? A "number go up" game that actually has a reasonable time to an ending? TAKE MY MONEY!

Quoting: slayerthechickenis this still the bad timeline just with sprinkles of hope?

Nope, this is still the timeline of despair. But now we have better visuals to go along with it. :D

The great thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from. /s

Quoting: GerarderloperBe cool if they updated and also made it like some future horror war instead. To give people something truly new rather then just a reskin with better UI....

I don't think anime catgirls versus tentacle monsters belong in every game. But maybe I'm just being weird.

The internet is a series of tubes. We're making sure the children are directed into the right tube.

I hate changelogs like that. They are so vague as to be meaningless. Rather than coating it with virtuous-sounding jargon, just say, "We changed some code!" It's probably more accurate, anyway.

Opus Magnum is quite tasty and visually pleasing. Looking forward to the DLC!

US intellectual property law, and especially copyright law, have been quite difficult to apply toward software issues. The changing technological landscape and the short shelf life of code means that many of the protections built into the law don't seem to apply.

There also isn't a presumptive abandonment provision with a sensible duration to it, such as twenty years. There also isn't a provision like adverse possession in property law, where you lose the rights if someone openly uses your work but you don't enforce your rights.

And, lastly, the legal costs for enforcing or defending intellectual property cases is huge. There is no equivalent of "small claims court" that could provide an adjudication on the rights.

So much of US law has its roots in English civil law, especially property law, and its hoary fingers continue to grip legal precedent. Huge swaths of intellectual property law need to be revised, but as you can imagine, not only do experts disagree what that should look like, but moneyed interests prefer that things stay the same.
