  • If you enjoy zombi bashing but don’t care for all the depressive atmosphere of Dying Light, but would rather kick some ass, I would recommend Dead Island (1 or 2). The close combat fighting is visceral and fun and while the story has some real drama at times, it’s generally upbeat.

    Seriously, I’ve had Dying Light for years not every time I get too brought down by the overall vibe and constantly feeling so weak. Whereas DI had me shredding a tear at least once but you kick ass throughout.


  • Would be interesting to see how they distinguish “personal consumption” and “transformative” consumption.

    The AI did quite literally what any human educating themselves would have done : reading entire libraries to improve themselves. Then make money from it. So if little Timmy pirates 3DS Max or Photoshop to get a job, it’s fine yeah? Or a student trying to read their course without paying hundreds of dollars?

    But wait, when Timmy reads a single virtual book, it’s thievery? It’s the loss of a sale? So how many sales were lost through all those virtual books stolen from paying customers by the AI?

    They gotta decide one way or another at some point and stop taking the piss.

    Also I wonder if the AI can actually remember the entire content of each book they read though. Or any. And if they do, then can that actually be proof, for each individual book thus regurgitated, that the copyright has been unfairly used since a full reproduction (or close enough as to fool a reader?) would be now available.

    That’s gonna be some interesting jurisprudence.









  • Once I had to fill some forms for the gouvernement and I just went to their office and found a wonderfully helpful lady who helped me to do it and reassured me when I would freak out because their questions were not logical or not as closed as they thought. It was an eye opener and I’ve used the technique ever since.



  • Had given up on it two years ago and with the release of the second decided to revisit. The combat is clunky as fuck, but I really do enjoy the heart of the game, for lack of a better word.

    I just wish it crashed less T_T No real saves and constant full freeze with hard reboots is not fun.

    Which should tell you how much I do enjoy what I get to play that I’ve sunk about thirty hours so far. Getting my first horse and hunting game in the woods to feed the sick, being ambushed by a gang of three brigands and their dog to fend them off, barely. Stumbling upon a burnt hut in the woods and discovering a treasure… The sense of discovery and exploration is spot on. Losing all that because fuck knows what, not so much.
