Zurui posted:As someone who deals with these sorts of contracts regularly, adjusting it would simply involve removing all pronouns whatsoever from the contract, which is also standard loving practice because pronouns are ripe for misinterpretation once you get into litigation. A co-worker once spent four hours in arbitration arguing over two instances of "it." Is your co-worker Bill Clinton?

RocknRollaAyatollah posted:It's an incredibly Chinese business practice to not pay your employees. It's very common for employers, even state institutions and state run corporations, to not pay their employees for months at a time. That whole thing sounds like most small business projects, which had nothing to do with gaming or publishing, I heard about that got started in China. Yes, the Chinese are the only people to not pay employees. Really?

Impermanent posted:4e dying at the hands of paizo and mearls is the largest tragedy design-wise in TTRPGs to date so it makes sense that we would endlessly circle it. The degree to which it set us back is vast. Did Paizo not like 4e because they genuinely disagreed with the design philosophy or because they were still mad about WOTC pulling the magazine license Nissin Cup Nudist fucked around with this message at 01:49 on Nov 13, 2021 |

The Shortest Path posted:You literally cannot cheat at chess without being fed moves from an AI, which is impossible in this case because they have detection set up for any kind of transmission in the tournament area. There's the classic move of moving a Rook diagonally and hope your opponent is too brain dead to notice

theironjef posted:Honestly if chess has hit the point where cheating is like "I accuse this guy of not memorizing vast swathes of computer output like he says he did" then it's time to change the game anyway. Maybe cheating should just be allowed but if you figure out how and can prove it mid game you win. Maybe you get a paintball gun. Maybe the game has to be played on an air hockey table so if you aren't careful the pieces slide around. Any cheating allegations are settled by a game of chess boxing instead

Nissin Cup Nudist posted:Ah man, my dad was close with Prados. I should give him a call Update: I talked to my dad and he was pretty shook up early in the week. He was actually planning on visiting Prados in a couple weeks. They talked in November and he never mentioned he was sick or anything to my dad. This was a big shock to my dad and most people apparently. John Prados is more famous for his books and academic stuff, but to my dad (and me by extension) he was a quirky wargamer who held a celebration for Napoleon's Birthday most years. I dont remember ever meeting Prados (If I did, I had to have been really young), but he was an important figure in multiple fields and lived a very interesting life who will be missed.

Considering Piazo/Pathfinder in its current form is because of WotC first go-round with license fuckery, one would hope their lawyers have been spending the last 15 years on a plan to fight a second round of license fuckery

Colonel Cool posted:I think a big part of what made the MCU so successful is that it was directly lifting plotlines that had been developed over like the past fifty years in comic book form, which means they could work from a roadmap and focus on adapting them to the screen instead of also having to plan out a whole cohesive story in advance. I'd argue this is a big reason why Disney Star Wars is flopping so hard, they never had a coherent plan and were making it up as they went. Theres probably a way to make a Balder's Gate movie work, or adapt some of the classic modules like Keep on the Borderlands or Temple of Elemental Evil Give me the Eberron movie thats a thinly disguised war film in the trappings of a fantasy setting
