I hate that I know this, but Orks at least have something down there that allows them to urinate in an arc. In Ragnar’s Claw some Space Wolves are sneaking up on an Ork encampment, and one of the Orks comes over to the bush the Wolves are hiding behind and pisses on the Wolf without realizing it.

The Alfabusa guy posted a patreon update but I really don’t get his thought process. Trying to pick up a new franchise to do content on like this is like onlyfans deciding to ban nudity. I don’t think there’s gonna be a lot of overlap with their existing fan base no matter what they pick.

I'm halfway through the first Gotrek and Felix book and it's such a fun romp. It's definitely just "and then they went to _____ and had to fight _____ because _____" but the characters are so charming and lovable that I'm not getting tired of it yet.

It's because his intent would be, if told to take everything down, to take it down. Those two videos were already in production. It's a position that makes perfect sense and is entirely reasonable.

Lotta people can out duel Lucious, at least post Heresy, and have done so. He's just a weird little baby and has a gimmick where he just possess them if they feel any sense of accomplishment/pride in defeating him.

boredsatellite posted:Why would you lose respect for him for that? He made that big long whiny video going on and on about how GW was unfair and he couldn't under any circumstances incur any legal fees because of a new house and baby etc. Which is perfectly reasonable. Except leaving all your content monetized and putting out new content reduces your risk of incurring legal fees by exactly 0%. In fact, he increased his risk because any half-baked lawyer could make that video exhibit A showing that he knew what he was doing was wrong and could get him in legal trouble and did it anyway. Beyond that, it's clear that his content is satire and while I understand he can't afford to prove that in a court of law (again if he didn't want that as a possibility he should have removed everything and stopped making money off of it), if GW was going to go after him they would have sent him a C&D when they sent one to literally every other fan made content person. TL:DR his statement was whiny and his actions are in opposition to his stated reasons. So he's either stupid or being disinginious. Also I'm in a lot of 40k FB groups and the reaction in general to GW making this move was as bad and as toxic as anything else that happens in this hobby so I'm probably biased. I wish they hadn't done it but they have every right to do so and they did not have to extend job offers to all these people and go about it the way they did. It was a lot better than the way I've seen other companies crack down on infringement in the past.

Dude are you seriously on the side of GW here and going "well it is well within their rights to shut fan work down" and "they are better than Disney/Square Enix/Nintendo". Shutting down these works on YouTube was a moronic move, esepcially as it was revitalizing parts of the base and was attracting new ones. And of course the dude is going to stop production of new videos and post the ones that are finished. He just doesnt think its worth the risk to produce new ones. It seems like a reasonable position.

I think GW telling their newly-hired creators to shut down their fan work was stupid and short-sighted, but it's my understanding that they haven't actually "cease and desisted" anyone other than the people they hired, and anyone else who has taken their stuff down (like Emperor's Text To Speech) chose to do so on their own, not because GW came knocking.

It's the concept of soft power. The threat of something happening doesn't even need to be implicit. Just knowing that GW could do something if they chose to is enough to influence decision making.

I'm pretty sure you just do not understand the situation at all. His reasoning was that he was stopping making Warhammer content because he could not rely on that as an income stream, and to fight a takedown would incur legal fees. If their stuff was going to be taken down by GW, they would just lie down and take it. YouTube's content claim DMCA takedown poo poo is terrible, mostly automated and very much skewed in favour of content management agencies - not necessarily the content owners themselves. GW (or a company appointed to do so by GW, or literally just a loving bot) might one day just do that without any formal communication via a C&D. Either it gets taken down completely or ad revenue just gets shifted to GW. Removing it from his channel would have the same effect as it being taken down. He is at no risk of being sued for prior earnings. That does not happen on YouTube. He is at no greater risk keeping his backlog up. His entire position is: He is changing his content to no longer base his revenue on a niche that has been exposed to greater risk. He is not going to fight tooth and nail for his content - a thing nobody else does. He still uploaded what was in progress but isn't making any new content. The tone of his video was perhaps over dramatic, but you also have to consider that this has been years of his life and the optics are pretty awful for GW right now, even if the reality is really not that bad.

This is always the risk you take when making content involving other peoples IP, especially when money is involved. Ultimately (with a couple of exceptions) GW gets to decide what happens to their IP. People should be mad with google over their least effort and lovely way they moderate their platform that makes legitimate use of IP (trademarks and copyright) a minefield and not GW.

Back to actual Warhammer stories https://www.warhammer-community.com/2021/08/21/24-hours-only-watch-a-free-episode-of-hammer-and-bolter/ The first ep of Hammer and Bolter is streaming today and it's actually a lot of fun! It's the story of Yarrick and Ghazghkull, both of whom I love dearly.

Imagine striving for perfection for centuries and you get jobbered by dudes far less experienced and probably a lot more gifted in combat prowess. Then your patron God makes you come back to get clowned on again and again. wiegieman posted:Lucius isn't quite the best, he's just very good. I imagine someone not being able to accept their own shortcomings, never getting any better as the centuries roll on, getting stunted on only to be brought back again in the body of the person who did the stunt on him... constantly having to put on a facade that wrenches and boils his soul must be so delicious to Slaanesh.

Asking for a license is also just not a thing you do - drawing attention from the big company in an official capacity is how you get them to act. They usually don't act well. I also doubt he was looking to (and frankly, was compatible with) be signed up with the official Warhammer animation streaming shenanigans, partially due to the overwhelming hate creators have been getting due to joining it and also because they wanted to retain personal control over their project. They were totally overdramatic in their presentation, but their actions were really quite reasonable if you know anything about YouTube content creation.

HerpicleOmnicron5 posted:. I mean, play with fire, be prepared to get burnt? I have no issue with content creators, pirates and recasters but it's implicit that if you operate in that grey zone you're always running a risk. The latter 2 groups simply quietly disperse and reconvene when the lawyers appertaining but content creators do not appear to have realised this trick. It's also not even a case of injustice with GW muscling in on someone's original IP, their entire premise is based on using GW's stuff.

At least they managed to nail down the Orkz pretty well. Had a chuckle at the maps. But probably wouldn't really subscribe to WH+ just for a chance to see more Hammer and Bolter.
