You can spout legalese to me all you want, if I drop 80 dollars on something, I want to own it. As does literally anyone with a functioning brain.

Here's a fun fact you can stuff up your nose, back before accounts and digital downloads were a thing, this little tidbit you gladly posted was only regarding making copies of what you bought.

I.E. If I bought a game, I wasn't buying the legal rights to redistribute it. I owned THIS copy and could not reproduce what's on it to resell it for my own benefit—but I still physically owned THIS copy.

In other words: Don’t copy, rent, commercially exploit, reverse engineer this product for your own monetary benefit.

Nowadays that's been twisted. You're trying to justify taking people's shit that they paid money for because some dumbass legalese is being twisted to mean something it didn't mean before.

today's random bullshit: i found this really gorgeous alice in wonderland illustration on pinterest, but it was in terrible quality. best version i could find was an ebay listing of the book with a huge glare on the page. so i spent hours painstakingly touching it up by hand

Its really quite quaint to see Strauss Zelnick and Take Two going full Orwellian on everyone and wanting the doxx of a whole lot of people on Discord and other services, all so they can apparently track the GTA 6 leaker.

Am I surprised? No, this is the same Strauss Zelnick and Take Two who sicc Pinkertons on a GTA modder after all.

This is why you do not give Discord your ID for “age verification”. Some Multi-billion corpo might suddenly powertrip and think they are the government and demand your doxx.

This is also why people have to understand that Take Two is even worse than pre Saudi EA and Ubisoft combined.

Well turns out the „expert“ has a slight conflict of interest, being a subsidiary of a company that works for Sony and other ESA/ VGE members (Big publisher Lobby) 🤡

Thx @THEGAUDY1 for doing the research

You don’t own your movies, your games, anything.

It’s all a license they can take away at any given point for any given reason.

That’s why they are dismantling physical, that’s why the lobby meets with lawmakers 13 days before responding to us or lies in the Senate.

Seen people say the pun works and should have been included but the pun doesn't work for multiple reasons, ill try and explain

First of, the Cyclops' name is Polyphemus (Πολύφημος) which means 'of much fame' 'renowned'

Odysseus saying "Nobody is my name, Nobody is what they call me...'' ("Οὖτις ἐμοί γ᾽ ὄνομα: Οὖτιν δέ με κικλήσκουσι...") sets the stage for a standoff between ''Nobody vs Renowned''

after he pokes his eye the cyclops exclaims ''Oh friends, Nobody is killing me either with trickery or force!" ("‘ὦ φίλοι, Οὖτίς με κτείνει δόλῳ οὐδὲ βίηφιν.")

To which they respond "If indeed, then, no one is doing you violence, since you are alone..." ("εἰ μὲν δὴ μή τίς σε βιάζεται οἶον ἐόντα....")

Here the part they say ''μή τίς'' means ''no one'' and sounds as one word instead of two phonetically ''μή τίς -> μητίς'' which translates to cunningness

so the pun is that no one and cunningness sound the same in Ancient Greek and Odysseus' hallmark trait of which he is renowned for throughout the poem destroys ''the renowned''

Nobody won vs the Renowned

So its not just ''nobody is attacking me'' and they say ''okay''. That doesnt do justice to the whole thing, it is bankrupt of meaning and it would seem stupid

There's double puns and meanings in those few lines and it doesnt translate well. Hell, it doesnt even translate that well to modern Greek

Its also one of the main themes that Odysseus is cunning so the passage points to that too. or that Odysseus is renowned for his cunningness but he is nobody who won vs renowned by using his renowned cunningness.

So you see?

i think i just wasted 20mins nobody is gonna read through all this but if you did now you know why this passage of the poem is renowned😅

P.S the Homeric poems are unbelievably hard to translate to plays. their stories are hard to contain and the meanings are subtle and do not always translate well. It is a monumental undertaking and you can easily get lost as a director if you try to copiously give the poems justice. Nolan made an adaptation that was fun to watch and corresponded to modern audiences in limited time. The win here is that this movie will point people to the books and subtle meanings within them.

so chill with the negativity, Homer does not need defending, he withstood time

[Does it play? @DoesItPlay1]

If we don't make a stand now, it's over! Plain and simple.

Sony attacks a core element of video game culture by killing physical media. It will hurt retailers, creators, media, developers, loyal fans, and casual players alike. Nobody wins!

Which side of history will you be on?

Sony’s decision to stop releasing new PlayStation games on physical discs has led some PS4 players to consider switching to PC.

Many players note that PC offers lower game prices, free online multiplayer, a larger game library, and the ability to upgrade hardware instead of buying a new console every generation.
It also provides more choice over where to buy games.

We seal envelopes not because the letter contains a conspiracy, but because the contents belong exclusively to the sender and the receiver.

The "nothing to hide" argument is pure corporate/state propaganda. Privacy isn't about hiding a crime; it's about deciding who gets access to your life. It’s a boundary of power, not a shield for guilt.
