Yeah seems wild otherwise. Surely you can't ask half the guitar industry to just throw out their stock.

Ruled by default btw, because the other party (some Chinese knock-off guitar builder) didn't show up in court.

The guy in the video says the judge ruled Fender does have a copyright on its guitar shape 🤷

It's about copyright, apparently. Which lasts for 70 years after the creator has passed away. Leo Fender died 35 years ago, so Fender is still good for another 35 years.

HUGE Fender Lawsuit News YouTube video by KDH

This is insane guitar news.

A German court has ruled Fender owns the copyright to the Stratocaster shape and now others can't use it, inside the entire EU.

That's like... half the guitar industry 🤯

For folks running Adventure Game Studio on Mac/Linux, how are you doing this? Planning on ditching Windows soonish and I see a few options for AGS but was wondering what folks on here were happy with.

Not long ago my dad decided he wanted to watch F1, googled "watch F1", clicked the first result that he saw (which was an ad, and not a website in any way officially affiliated with F1) and was prepared to whip out his credit card before I went "whoa whoa whoa what are we doing here" 😅

Hey you're describing my dad lol

periodic question i'm sure i'll post multiple times in the next month or so: if anyone knows of any outlets or blogs or anything in that vein that might cover Saint Elizabeth, let me know. just trying to get people outside my circle on here to listen to it!

Starship Troopers is one of those films by the way.

The Netherlands was occupied by the Nazis for 5 years, which sparked 80 years of novels, films, poems and theater about how war is absolutely horrific.

This is to say: this rules

Screenshot of a chat at youraislopbores.me: me: draw me a guitar please them: a crudely drawn guitar with squiggly lines, coloured red at the top me: aw yeah thank you them: draws a heart

This is really fun!
An undeniable part of the magic is knowing that a real living breathing actual human, someone who hopes and dreams just as you do, is somewhere out there writing a funny answer just for you. Huh, wonder if there's a lesson there.

I saw someone point out it only takes a couple of minutes to fill out a crossword puzzle, and that's exactly it.

I'd argue no one was beating Maniac Mansion period lol

Two arrows above each other, the bottom one labelled "the full political range" with "left-wing" on the left, "right-wing" on the right and "the actual fucking center" in the middle, with above that another, smaller arrow, that's on the right side of the bigger arrow, labelled "The American political landscape" with "Democrats" at about 66% to the right on the big arrow and "Republicans" about 95% to the right on the big arrow, with a circle on the smaller arrow labelled "tHe CeNtER" that's at about 80% to the right on the bigger arrow.

this came to me in a dream

I would also like to add: I've completed Maniac Mansions. Several times. Different kid combos, different endings etc.

But if you made me sit down right now and do it, without hints or a walkthrough, I'm not sure if I could make it to the end. And if I do, I would spend *a lot* more than 3 hours.

Even with a walkthrough

a) it takes more than 3 hours to complete Maniac Mansion
b) success is anything but guaranteed

The way you fall behind is by wasting all your precious time jumping on bandwagons that turn out to be fads.

Who wants their mouse to be "light" anyway?? Freaks, that's who!

@manbearcar.bsky.social Hello! I'm loving Horsey Game and would love to talk to others about it. Is there a Discord or another place where Horsey Game fans can gather?

The moment you realise what is and isn't a "horse" in this game, everything opens up

I know Horsey Game looks like a joke with a crude, janky style, but I’m 8hrs in and it’s the funniest, most brilliantly designed game I’ve played in years.

I could list dozens of hilarious emergent moments from my playthrough but I don’t want to say too much.
