  • Next war plan is going to happen in an X thread. They’re gonna @ eachother about seizing Toronto and nuking Vancouver.

    They’ll launch the nuke from a submarine, They’ll trigger their own warning system, they’ll panic, they’ll think it’s a Japanese nuke, they’ll launch retaliatory strikes, the Philippines will be unrecognizable.

    The Toronto invasion force won’t have crossed the border before the entire admin is in bunkers and not communicating. They’ll be an army on standby to invade an ally, and they’ll hear the admin atomically spooked itself into giving China their sea claims in the worst way, a way nobody is happy with.

    Democrats will respond by suggesting that other Democrats should consider launching an investigation on an accelerated timeline, with only 3 short months (~0.903 Metric months) to be completed and brought before a committee hearing that already has three notices that members will be absent, unable to attend due to family functions and vacation plans.

    Streaming revenues will be stable, Call of Duty MAUs will not fluctuate notably, Starbucks will close 8 locations, most celebrities will be done tweeting/blueskying about how it’s fucked up. JD Vance will call someone the N word on live TV to thunderous applause.















  • For example, if you want to put a TV inside of your game, you can’t just use an existing product as is – you need to think of a fictional TV design from scratch, including the manufacturer’s logo and everything else about the object.

    This is such a bullshit problem. No other media has this issue. This wasn’t a problem before and never should’ve been allowed to become a problem. Real objects have populated the scenes of movies for decades, artists have painted scenes rendering real clothes and weapons and carriages and all with accurate shapes for centuries, before the 2000’s video games seemed to have no issue doing the same. Something changed and now we’re left with absurd assets.

    Rendering real objects without any limitations or requirement for legal agreements should be a right of any artist in any field.
