The headline seems like a particularly reductive and shitty take, especially considering she's a child of Indian and Jamaican parents.

You'd be surprised.

I feel like you’re mixing up some companies, these sentences make no sense in the context of Embracer. Are you talking about Bethesda?

No. Microsoft.

Microsoft has no such excuse. MS leadership has been asked multiple times why they did it, and they literally haven’t said a single fucking word that makes sense.

I feel like you're defending the wrong thing here. Wondering why MS shudder the studio is like asking a snake why it attacks its prey. It's a fucking snake. That's what it does. That's always what it does.

Embracer screwed up and let itself be absorbed into the Microsoft empire. They have their IP. They care about nothing else.

With infinite budget sure, worth a shot, but it would cost a lot more than the price of the phone to track it down.

Infinite budget? Bro, I know the exact location. Just go over there and knock on his door. Arrest the man and put him in jail for possession. One less thief out there taking advantage of the fact that the police doesn't enforce the fucking laws.

The criminals could and probably do have ‘faraday bags’ to block signals from phones as they move them, only ever taken out to sell them along.

They could, but they don't.

In a world of home surveillance, doorbell cameras, and phones with constant GPS that can tell you the exact location of where it's at, the police are more useless than ever.

The demo was neat, but it was hilariously overhyped, even in the abstract paper. It was pretty damn obvious that the researchers were just trying to continue funding their research with a PR push.

The more interesting aspect was the potential for better AI video processing, not creating a game engine. You can't create a game engine without a series of defined rules, and you can't define those rules without documenting it in programming language.

Not even once.

A Mastodon user stumbling upon one of these comments could easily assume that it is just another fully independent “toot” (Mastodon’s equivalent of tweet).

Wait, back up... Mastodon calls these "toots"? So, everybody is posting farts?

That kind of ownership clause is pretty standard for mods, especially when the game officially supports mods. Game studios don't want to run into legal issues if they release some DLC or patch that happens to implement features that another mod included.

God, that's so accurate.

Although, you could replace "brand" with "adult", and it would work for memes that kids have propagated.
