Prey got really boring in the second half because there weren't any enemies that were a threat to you got enough upgrades. But how cool were those shapeshifters though?

There is actually a whole elaborate backstory to the setting, but its completely irrelevant to the current plot.

The loop is also actually kind of pointless since there are pretty much only 2 ways to kill your targets, and you basically have to do both in order to finish the game.

I did notice that, yes, but I asked a friend "hey does this background get resolved" and they said no.
Complete with the player-characters seeming lack of interest in it and not really much to discover.

Any work of art fixed to a medium is copyrightable and indeed is so automatically under the Berne Convention. The meme would also be a derivative work for which there may be in fact live questions of its own copyright status; in the event the artist can and should absolutely sue the poo poo out of Musk because there's no fair use doctrine for wholesale appropriating an image without credit.

The "transformative work" will do a hell of a lot of lifting in this instance, and courts have upheld more with less, so that's kind of a dead-in-the-water approach. Can't prove Lonnie made the meme(chances are he stole it anyway), and even if he did, it's also political/celebrity content with ol' Diaper Donnie Two Scoops. Defamation for having his works associated with fascism and nazis, now there's a very good angle of attack, because that actively hurts the artist's own reputation by association, and if Lonnie doesn't expunge the content on his own dime, then he's liable under far more statutory amounts that don't need a jury to deliberate on. That's what the Pepe meme guy did, IIRC.

If the likes of Cariou v. Prince makes a meme transformative, then that's kind of a lovely way to tackle it, but it's been pointed out that the artist is an Italian living in Rome, for whom there are strong moral rights attached in that country. He wouldn't need to sue in the US for worldwide infringement, which would make things interesting to say the least.

I guess it’s a form of getting eyeballs and clicks even if the most greasy way, letting Elon and his posse scream at you and your writers all day.

Kara Swisher is such a suck up to big tech companies. Bleh. Ran crypto advertising on her podcast too. I use her as a canary of how far Elon has fallen when even the most CEO-reverent is openly disdainful.

wait what, are we talking about Octavian or some different Augustus? I don't know much about history but I read a book about him and it's basically 300 pages of giving him a handbeezy for being the best leader ever who managed to keep together a crumbling Rome and conquered lots of territory and created Pax romana and had a cool wife

yeah Augustus reigned over an era of unprecedented prosperity, because the Mediterranean was finally at peace after hundreds of years of intense warfare (first rome conquering its neighbors, then civil wars), and I wouldn't describe him as "shattering" anything so much as, being born into an already-shattered political order and being the one to end up on top when the chaos ended

like, he's not a good guy, because autocrats never are, but the post you're quoting is not a particularly accurate read of history

This is gross my man. Believe it or not most journalists aren't tech reporters. The world doesn't revolve around Musk, as much as he'd like that to be the case.

It's also not really about clicks. They're going to stick around Twitter for awhile because it's been *the* social network for them for the past decade. Less personal than Facebook, but less professional than Linkedin.

Dude isn't getting his FOMO fix and that's the SJWs fault! :argh: And certainly not because camping out in front of a loving Best Buy is dumb as poo poo, even if it was for a self-driving sex robot that would still reject you because holy poo poo, you willing signed up to be a loving intern for Elon loving Musk, you pathetic piece of trash.

Mooncrash improved that somewhat, each character you can play as only has a subset of the upgrades and Nightmares became random spawns and were both a lot more capable and you could be fighting several at once.

Somewhat accurate LiDAR, together with usable software, in consumer iPhones is legit a game changer when it comes to renovations and layout planning. That’s not including use cases that benefit from 3D scans.
