Are you misreading "preparing" as literally any writing?Even that Wikipedia article goes into fair use. Let's plays are potential infringement because people make money from them. There's stuff like that one Switch emulator that got taken down a while back because it had a direct effect on Nintendo's ability to sell hardware. But there's also stuff like PokeMMO which has been allowed to persist because they don't actually distribute any Nintendo code and Nintendo isn't selling those games anymore.
What effect on the market can there be for a fan remaster of a 20 year old game that isn't for sale anymore? Hard to argue that doesn't fall under fair use.
For sure they might try to send a c&d, but it wouldn't have any legal standing. Whether you have the funds to fight frivolous bullshit like that is one thing, but you can't get a c&d in the first place if you never put your art out. Even then, all you'd have to do is stop distributing it yourself, but at least it'd be out there
Why would it be a problem unless he was making money? People are allowed to write fanfic and make fan movies and whatnot. The line isn't crossed until money changes hands. Seems like a fan game would fall under that same kind of category
What the US did in Iraq and Afghanistan was wrong, no doubt. There's a lot of reasons for that, ranging from who was actually responsible for 9/11 to all the actual violence between the civilians and soldiers. But systematic extermination is NOT one of those reasons. What Israel is doing in Gaza is 1000x worse. Equating it to how the US conducted its affairs minimizes what's actually happening, muddying the water and keeping people from feeling like they should actually be doing anything about it.
Voting isn't an endorsement for literally everything a candidate says and does. No one even knows who you vote for unless you tell them. It's about picking the best of the choices. Your lack of a vote is just as much an endorsement of genocide as a vote for Trump, especially since he won.
It absolutely does. Go out with a bang, not a whimper! Show the people that you wanted to fight for them! Show them what you really think of this stupid, hateful rich asshole! Have a spine! Voters' memory is short, sure, but it wouldn't be nothing! And there are vulnerable people in the interim who need to know they're not alone!
But of course this is the team that thought leaning even more conservative would win them an election. Of course they'll happily wave this in.
It's because being "gentlemanly" by sitting back and letting this happen is the absolute pinnacle of falling victim to the paradox of intolerance. Trump has zero tolerance for democracy. Letting this traitor back into office to dismantle any hope of free and fair elections in the future is fucking stupid, and the more decorum shown to this fascist moron, the more his future actions are legitimized to the public.
It's true that refusing to hand over the office in any way is undemocratic in its own right. I can't pretend to know what the exact right answer is: the dumbass, impressionable electorate put us here by voting how it did. But smiling and shaking hands while this fuck prepares to dismantle our freedoms is so, so dumb.
The whole "trans women in sports" thing is one of those talking points that technically has some validity, but is used in bad faith as a wedge by bigots to try to enact far reaching bans on all trans people in all spaces. Trying to talk to people who bring that up is exasperating because if you give them that inch, they'll take a mile, instead of acknowledging how puberty blockers and long-term HRT level the playing field, or trans men.
Just curious, what were you trying to do? I recently got it and have been running it on two junky Ubuntu laptops with no issues
