  • Today I learned that Yaht Club Games (the indie studio that makes Shovel Knight games) has a patent for "Nuanced Movement", examples including Wall climbing (i think), and Wall Jumpping.

    Wall climbing and jumping existed in games before "Shovel Knight." I don't know what they're attempting to achieve by patenting a basic mechanism in practically similar games, it's just like what Nintendo has been doing before-hand to make quick money from lawsuits (and have lost after being proven wrong.)

    I don't know, but they got the US Patent in 2018, and nobody raised an eye because people didn't bat an eye about patents all too much (well, until now where it affects a game they like by lawfare, i guess), though if more people learn about this fact, i'd bet they'd defend it because "muh indie studio" did it

    Every time Zesty Jesus uploads a TF2 video that really gets into the roots of how bad the game has got and how lazy Valve is with it, I get reminded why I shouldn't hate them enough, and I don't play TF2 because just seeing footage of how well it is holding in the current day because of thier negligence

    The fact that TF2 (even during the bot crisis) even makes enough money for a dev team that could have stopped it makes it even worse when even some of the worst live services had better anti-cheat/anti-botting measures than any of Valve's live service games.is a very damming indictment of how much Valve actually cares about thier players and they're lucky the competition is in a state of constantly stepping on rakes.

    Remember, they only stopped it after 8 years of them plaguing the game and multiple community attempts to get Valve to do anything (besides siccing the one intern to do all the work and they might have started losing money if they kept the bot crisis as it was for any longer than they did. (I thought i deleted a clone post when posting the second but killed my first half of the response, classic XenForo)

    ive been of the opinion that theyre often not a very good company, but it all just gets ignored because the bar is already so low with every other company
    I 'member were saying that Windows 10 reaching EOL would totally drive normies to use Linux and usher in the year of the Linux Desktop....

    People just moved to Windows 11 when EOL day came anyways.

    It's obviously unreasonable to expect EVERYONE would switch, but there are many who switched that mainly:

    a) Have an old and unsupported computer
    b) Are geeks and felt it wouldn't be a problem

    Of course, there are less experienced people who were convinced and made the switch anyway. Case in point, a friend of mine is like an angel in hardware but claims to suck tremendously at software (using computers in general), and finds it far less unstable and unusable than Windows. He also didn't complain about UX or anything. Let that sink in.

    One time Mom went to a friend's house and was like "Where's your Firefox?", as if something was wrong with their PC. Working from the bottom-up, Chromebooks can supplant Windows for grownup-level productivity.

    because in the almighty words of Micheal Rodent:


    Because all it takes is a look back on your post history to see the obvious hypocrisy in action, and Boy is it super strong with how little he seems to know about how video games are even made, let alone the many game genres.

    But hey, I sure do hope this fool doesn't take notice of this and try and justify it while claiming i'm a nintendo fanboy or something equally stupid for seeing this very basic observation with both video game sequels (that persisted to this day with the execptions being because the studio ran out of money or deemed it unprofitable) and how badly he's shooting his texture pack in the foot by calling it a "Remaster".

    oh, in case he tries to change it in the future, you can see the archives here here here here and here because Archiving everything keeps people from trying to hide things they don't want you to see.
    Even when i try to be reasonable and take it seriously, I still end up in there rent free. thanks for the laughs though Mr."Urbanman2004", didn't know seeing the signs of hypocrisy and trying to take you seriously was trolling.
