I saw you talking about paying jannies and while I don't really wanna be one, you give me a business card that I can use to buy myself milk. You give me a milk budget, I'll follow orders until I end up in the Hague. You want me to get rid of anyone criticizing your MATI endorsed mangosteen product? I got you, just keep that whole milk flowing.
 
In copyright/vidya news, the copyright office said fuck you and your preservation.

Statement on the DMCA 2024 triennial review ruling​

The US Copyright Office announced today that they would not grant a new exemption in support of video game preservation. Our statement.
The US Copyright Office announced today that they would not grant a new exemption in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) in support of video game preservation. (see p.29)

For the past three years, the Video Game History Foundation has been supporting with the Software Preservation Network (SPN) on a petition to allow libraries and archives to remotely share digital access to out-of-print video games in their collections. Under the current anti-circumvention rules in Section 1201 of the DMCA, libraries and archives are unable to break copy protection on games in order to make them remotely accessible to researchers.

While we are disappointed by the Copyright Office’s decision (see p. 191 of the Register’s Recommendation), we have no regrets about going through this process. Over the last three years, working on the petition has helped us generate important research, notably our Survey of the Video Game Reissue Market in the United States report, which proved that around 87 percent of video games released in the United States before 2010 remain out of print. Our combined efforts with SPN have raised significant public awareness of these issues and have already made an impact throughout the game industry and preservation communities.

Unfortunately, lobbying efforts by rightsholder groups continue to hold back progress. During our hearing with the Copyright Office, the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) declared that they would never support remote game access for research purposes under any conditions. The game industry’s absolutist position—which the ESA’s own members have declined to go on the record to support—forces researchers to explore extra-legal methods to access the vast majority of out-of-print video games that are otherwise unavailable.

We’re not done fighting here. We will continue our advocacy for greater access and legal allowances for video game preservation and working with members of the game industry to increase internal awareness around these issues.

We encourage members of the game industry who are disappointed by the Copyright Office’s decision to ask their leadership to push for greater support for the work of libraries and archives within their industry groups.
It is your moral prerogative to pirate everything now for the sake of posterity.

Holy shit nigger had a full 5 gallon jug of piss just chilling in his room. That's at least better than Ralph who just keeps little bottles all over the floor to spill and trip over. Silver linings.
 
Ever since the September 6th outro song "Where the Dogs don't bite no more"
I have been searching for a song that I reminded by the chorus melody.

I only just recently found it. Also a kind of "dark country" song.
This was such a relief that I had to share.

Watching the archive now.

If no one has mentioned it. I have a solution to your jannie problem.

Outsource your jannie jobs to India. Have an entire floor of pajeets watching over the board day and night.

At first glance this sounds like a terrible idea. But really think about it. Think about how funny that would be. Having all these brown smelly people having to look at this board full of people making fun of brown smelly people. Dealing with reports and you can even open a customer service line that goes to their office.
 
I can’t find those Manley cups because I wanted to see how chink quality it is. Is it just some Stanley cup with a custom sticker?

@Null, I know it wasn't ready today but you'll have a Nubly comic to review for next stream. In the Nubly thread, I found that he makes his comics about 8 days in advance and releases them early on his Patreon before publishing them on his site. Although it's blurred out, he has Part 10 ready for Monday.
