@coolboymew Unfortunately this is a problem as old as history, 1001 Arabian Nights was vastly changed and added to when it was brought to a European audience. The only solution other than a weeb billionaire who cares suddenly buying all the English distribution rights would be for the Japanese companies to do their own dubbing, but that's not likely unless the problem started to hurt their profits, and for better or worse anime is more popular than ever right now.

Tearmoon Empire is great, not sure why it took me this long to read it.

@coolboymew @sjw I'm going to need a second phone before I board the nightmare machine.

@Hoss @Humpleupagus @Grandtheftautism @Zerglingman Cash advance limits are lower than the credit card max. What a nefarious person would theoretically want to do is buy a bunch of gold outright on cards.

@coolboymew @Zerglingman As stupid as it sounds, I think fine grained difficulties make the average gamer today feel bad and result in lower sales if included. Their first impression of the game is choosing Hard, getting demolished, then dropping the game entirely instead of trying normal. The gamer of today isn't the gamer of the past. They could maybe hide Hard mode until a normal completion, but only something like 10-20% of game purchases result in completed games (not 100%, just normal endgames).

When the shit hits the fan, Clarence Thomas will be the one with a functional mannerbund pillaging the ruins. A man who would give you a taxidermied lobster will kill at your word.

@lain @vaartis When I was 16 I didn't care what society (constantly changing home IP) tried to stop me from doing.

@clayvaulin @Weeble @lain @Moon @coolboymew Your point on value only matters for civil copyright infringement. Their purpose is commercial (Tax status as nonprofit isn't carte blanche) and falls under criminal, value of product is immaterial as there are statutory penalties that can be applied without that sort of consideration.
Reproducing a product while securing away the original for someone remains illegal even if you restrict the ownership to one person. There was a court case 10ish years ago I can't locate where there was an internet service that would let you stream cable over the internet for a locality of your choice. Customers paid the company a fee as well as for exclusive access to a cable line so no sharing or duplication occured. Was found to be illegal and shut down.
Don't get me wrong, I like Archive.org and OpenLibrary. They're just blatantly illegal in their practices.

@lain @Weeble @Moon @coolboymew They don't really have the state's blessing, it's just not worth the money and bad PR to sue them since they do very useful legitimate archival work as well that would have people rally behind them publicly. See their recent lawsuit from when book publishers that got mad that they started letting infinite people download "lent" books at one time. There was no legal merit to lending physical books out "digitally" (illegally scanned) to one person at a time either, but book publishers let it go until it was making an obvious impact on bottom line.

@Zerglingman @MK2boogaloo I have to pass, stalled on my first translation project very quickly and don't want to hold things up for other people waiting on me with this.

@Zerglingman I haven't, looks fun. I think I will give the light novel a shot soon.

@lain This post inflicted grievous mental damage on me.

@camedei456 @coolboymew Baconator is Wendy's. I recommend it.

@lain @icedquinn If gold price plummeted they'd have a million people getting refunds and effectively be covering any investing losses with their usual refund policy.

@MoeBritannica Adorable, she thought I only wanted one.
