Random question for all the lawyers out there: Say you met someone, and they happen to be in the games industry, and you live with them, so you have to sign an NDA. But you find out that person you were seeing signed your name for you, and sent it off and THEN told you, are you still responsible? Your name is on the NDA. Oh. Living outside your country of residence when the document was "signed" by you? If they tracked you down it could be easily provable you didn't sign it because you have girly girl handwriting, and they used messy writing and didn't even try to disguise the fact it looked like their signature.

The game at this point has also been out 7 years, and that asshole left the company before the game even came out.

@Testament said in General Video Game Thread:

Chinese company Tencent owns 10% of Epic, which has a number of people claiming that Epic is acting as spyware on Tencent's behalf.

IIRC they own 40% of Epic and 10% of Ubisoft.

They have just opened up the third affiliate tier 1 emoticon, I just need the sub points. So if you have Prime, and are not already subbed to anyone, please consider subbing to me for the month. I've been doing a lot of Twitch Sings lately, starting next week it's going to be Mon - Weds Other games, Thurs - Sat Twitch Sings, if that's your thing, but if you never watch so long as I get those emoticon slots! >.>

Also when I get 500 followers I will either just sing Never Gonna Give You Up for the whole stream, or play games with spiders in them, for every 500 after that.

@Jaded He was 73? When did that happen?

I'd check haveibeenpwnd just in case. but it could be your user name is similar to someone else's and they got reported, but someone typed in the name rather than from your Twitch page.

@Too-Old-For-This I'm not a fan of her, but to be fair, when I got her it was at the end of the stream and her bullshit tests just kept going and going. Timber kept getting himself set on fire, and for some reason a bear came out of nowhere during the final fight, and I'm pretty sure there aren't even bears in the area. Not her fault (Probably) but it all ended up being, not a Good Boy.

I may be missing my dog still too. I think 70% of my stream was just petting Timber once I got him.

The pig does not get in the truck though.

Timber can, however jump into your truck / car / bike with a side-car now though.

@OldFrightful What platform?

Sorry, I use Pop up Blocker, so I had no idea!

Oh yeah, not really a fan of Funcom anymore, but they do okay with properties they don't own... eventually. Even if they completely mess it up, I'll at least check it out, because Dune. But I'm not going to pre-order it or anything like that.

Just going to leave this here. @Ganymede because you had that Spice cat avatar forever.

I'm an affiliate but currently the money I get goes to more games to stream. Would like to be a partner someday, but doubt it will happen.

@Kanye-Qwest Regardless of how actions taken 74 years ago now are viewed in today's light, it's still an iconic picture and an important part of human history.

The sailor from that VJ Day kiss.

NASA's last word TO Opportunity were Billie Holiday's "I'll Be Seeing You."

I'll find you in the morning sun
And when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
But I'll be seeing you

I'm not crying, you're crying. I also got some dust in my eyes and fell into a pile of raw onions.

I think honestly it's because the final words weren't literally my batteries are low, it's getting dark; it was a readout about the battery levels, and visual indicators. But we've assigned the rover a gender, and a name. We've humanized those last messages that were sent. Also in our global and instant culture the death of a celebrity gets people because they are in our lives so much, we feel we know them. If Opportunity had gone to Mars during the initial space race, and not during the internet, we probably wouldn't care nearly as much. Hitchbot was killed, if you go back and look at that when it happened.

...And for me personally way too much Phillip K Dick's Electric Dreams, Black Mirror, SOMA, and Detroit Become Human lately. I've been on a kick lately, and even watched A. I. again.

I blame Disney anthropomorphizing everything when we were younger, and the internet. And that first selfie was so darn cute!

"My battery is low, and it's getting dark." -Last words of the Mars Rover Opportunity. It was only supposed to work 90 days, was up there for 15 years. Geez, I used it's first selfie as an avatar on... whatever iteration of the board was around then.
