Ever since freemans mind and the metro cop series, I've always watched Ross, i always loved his takes about video games.

Seeing him finally get the attention he deserves and a solid good push for the movement is pure bliss.

If I could sign I would, but im american
 
There's also dealing with your tool aborting a download early, I run into issues with that a lot particularly with yt-dlp --live-from-start and I have to put in some extra work to resume the download by using --keep-fragments, deleting the original merged file, and restarting the download.
I also forgot about this. Making sure that your download doesn't fail due to internet issues, YouTube being fucky wucky, and others. I've been open to developing some kind of tool or way to do this without issue. However, I don't know how autistic I am willing to devote to it.
 
Imagine shitting on Ross Scott and on such a reasonable goal. I'm going to message all the journalists/tech-adjacent spaces I can find across and very politely and reasonably try to explain this initiative in hopes that at least someone else will make a post about it. If Ross Scott, someone who has persisted for almost 20 years on YouTube despite all the turmoil and despite not being born a Nepo baby furry bitch, can do THIS much, what's my excuse?

I fell under Maldavius Nigger's charisma spell but I always felt something off about the way he's presenting things. And then I started noticing just the utter dickhead energy and then gaps in knowledge.

Total Grifter Death now!! Double Death for being a furry shit.
 
When your live service game goes off line, you can release the source code. And this documentation, right here, you can use your eyes to read it and understand the code.
Eeerm....acktually, source code and documentation are both covered copyright, so releasing those things to the public would be a hecking violation of the developer's intellectual property rights. Imagine a poor, small indie company having to shut down their game because they can't afford the servers, and now having to release all their source code. And it turns out that small company had actually written some of the most revolutionary netcode the world has seen, and now the evil big corpos can gobble it up for free, all because the original devs couldn't pay their server costs and had to release their intellectual property to the public as a punishment. Is that really what you want to do? Force all these small indie companies to release their incredible custom libraries for the evil companies like Epic to steal.
It's all for the little guy that we need to resist any type of consumer advocacy.

not to defend the libertarians but i definetly see the point of not particularly wanting to run to the government to solve a problem that could be soved with some self restraint (not buying the slop). What the libs fail to understand is the shear amounts of cooperation that need to take place inorder for that to work is ridiculous.
Louis Rossmann makes a great point about this in reference to similar EULA fuckery in this video:

tl;dr You can individually solve the problem but it is solving the wrong problem. It being the default state of things means it has staying power, and requires continuous effort to counteract or something like that.

Personally it did a lot to convince me of the value of initiatives like his RtR thing or SKG. Much better than some rightoid seething and browbeating that you're not joining his particular favorite golem. It is exactly the same as wokes pissing and shitting when you are not immediately sucking tranny dick. If one builds a golem it better not be one that sees its potential constituents as marks.

yh... thats the point of my message...?
Why is it always the pink names?
what does the colour of my name have to do with the argument of the libertarians are wrong about believing this is solvable with out the government?
you are saying what i just said. its almost as if you didn't actually read what i was saying.

in the wise words of BRabbit: "Didn't you listen to the last round, meat head? Pay attention, you're saying the same shit that he said!"

Give me all the :optimistic: but I hope it will be about SKG.
 
If he'd have presented this as is main reasoning from the very beginning and his only hesitation going forward, I highly doubt he'd have this much push back. Fuck's sake.
Pro-SKG can hate him for smearing their side and and Anti-SKG can hate him for making their side look retarded.
Everyone can find a reason to hate Jason, and I think that's beautiful.

I know I'm a tourist - didn't think Thor had a thread, I just ignored his shit when his shorts came up and scrolled to the next one - but if Pewds of all people actually endorses SKG, then I can see it hitting it's goal at warp speed knowing his fanbase.

I'd just hope the site could survive that kinda traffic. And - per quickly skimming the thread - would love to be a fly on the wall the second Mald gets mentioned in the video...
 
"Think like a dev" is a phenomenon among entertainment bootlickers that happens way too fucking often. Ironically, the only people who "think like devs" are console fanboys, brand fanboys, and people who actually enjoy skinnerbox concepts like gacha and battle passes and beg for them to be added to more games. Nobody in the industry whose role involves actually programming shit or making assets actually thinks "Like a dev".
Mald thinks devs think like publishers. I doubt many devs have much interest to have their hard work disappear off the face of earth because a publisher thinks there's money to made by doing it
 
I'd be more comfortable with approaching Indvidual devs on this than asking the government to step in. On this, I am actually on PirateSoftware's side. Absolutely. If he'd have presented this as is main reasoning from the very beginning and his only hesitation going forward, I highly doubt he'd have this much push back. Fuck's sake. The government literally had Zoe Quinn and a couple of her orbiters go to the UN and cry about their self-inflicted "oppression". Do you REALLY trust the government that much to regulate something that they don't really give much of a shit about in the first fucking place?
You can't be serious. "Individual devs" have no control over what the companies and publishers who own the rights do.

I seriously doubt releasing the source code after your project flopped is actually hurting anyone's bottom line and if small developers can repurpose cutting edge open source material it is actually a net positive for the industry as a whole.
