what ACTUALLY do people mean when they say games should go back to being sold as a product instead of a license? i grab a 2002 PS2 game, it says “Licensed for play on the Playstation 2 computer entertainment systems with the NTSC U/C designation only.” that’s explicitly a license

i recognize that short-form video is not a great way to learn a language, but having ai-generated autodubbing forcibly imposed over it with three fairly hidden clicks to turn off, temporarily only, is so value-negative that it oughta be brand-killing for that platform

an advertisement is trustworthy only if it comes from someone who you can believe has tried, vetted, and enjoyed the associated goods or services, stated in words not controlled by the seller of the goods or services. this rules out pretty much everything on the internet

@jodiecongirl i was intent on buying Metroid Prime 4, until i saw the ad for it, which completely destroyed any want for it. so, no, ads can definitely be negative-value on the individual scale

@inkfycreates @koKiing_ dpi only matters if you size your canvas in physical units (inches, etc). it’s dots (pixels) per inch, so a ten-inch by ten-inch canvas at 300dpi is 3000x3000px. if you size in pixels, dpi says nothing at all about on-screen quality or zoomability: it determines the printed size

i just want to understand things…
so if you use a word or phrase i don’t understand, my first instinct is to ask — or google it if it feels like you assume i should know!
but then sometimes i get lost, forget what sent me there, forget to respond ;w;

wild part of new california law? i develop an application that i know through personal correspondence to be used by at least one CA resident. it collects no data at all from anyone. but now i’m obligated to determine the age of my california-based users? tell me i’m wrong please!
