    Pathfinder 1e vs 2e

    I've played quite a bit of Pathfinder 1e and have been GMing Pathfinder 2e almost non-stop since it came out. I'd say the main differences are that Pathfinder 1e is much better at being a "simulator" and Pathfinder 2e is better at being a "game." 1e has rules for everything, and gets really...

    2020 GOTY

    Risk of Rain 2 is my 2020 GOTY. It's a sci-fi third person shooter roguelike with optional multiplayer. I never played the first one, but it doesn't matter because narrative isn't a very large part of the game but the gameplay kicks so much ass that this game has been pretty much impossible for...

    That's what merch is for. Development resources should not be used on microtransaction assets for a game that already has a subscription fee. Cute royalty free music and a class in a PvP game with no hard CC. Are they even trying?

    Ashes of Creation

    I wouldn't say he's a scammer. He bought $60 worth of thunderstruck trees from me in the ArcheAge alpha and more from my guildies. I never heard of anyone getting scammed. But yeah, he was a bit of a sore loser. We were on the same faction in alpha so we didn't fight his guild too much, but he...

    What is level cap? If it's higher than 10, why is there a 40-man boss at that level?

    I've already stopped playing. There is a good game in here but it's ruined by a number of minor problems that have grown so large, they've tipped the scale.

    You're both retarded. The recorded sound file is copyrighted. By playing it around other people, you are reproducing it, which is technically copyright infringement. Society generally accepts it as legal because there aren't ASCAP/BMI agents running around the world sniffing for copyright...

    Technically speaking, yes, you have to. But unless you have one of the rightsholders at your party, you're not going to get sued.

    There is no "30 second" clause for fair use. That's fake.

    What is "obvious fair use" in the context of playing music you don't have the rights to under game footage on a Twitch stream? These instances are infinitesimal with respect to entire body of content that receives DMCA takedowns.

    Then fire counter-notification and get it taken care of. You'd think if there were all these illegitimate invalid DMCA takedowns happening then we'd be seeing rightsholders punished in court. Lawyers would be lining up to represent these people pro-bono for easy money! Except that's not the...

    I haven't been DMCA'd by Twitch so I can't say, but according to the law, you always have the right to submit counter-notification. EDIT: According to Twitch's DMCA guidelines, there is an option to submit counter-notification.
  19. Kriptini

    Twitch.tv

    Actually, the point of DMCA is to protect the infringer from being absolutely assblasted in court. I guarantee you almost all instances of DMCA takedowns being issued are over valid copyright infringement claims. In the situation where they aren't, that's what counter-notification is for. If...

    "Fair use" is an affirmative defense so it's not like it can just blanket protect you from DMCA takedowns.

    The only way to stop scalping is to stop buying from scalpers. Sure they can just buy stock and return it if they can't sell it, but if enough of that goes on they'll stop wasting their time. Problem with this is that they can just return the product.

    Paizo is absolutely filled with libcucks, and some of it does seep into the lore of the world, but it never bleeds into game mechanics and in spite of all their "wokeness," they released a 6-book adventure path where the players play as city cops who beat the shit out of criminals and confiscate...

    SOE Becomes Daybreak / Russian shutdown

    The majority of the community predicts that the next EQ2 TLE will happen around late spring 2021. There's a pattern to the EQ2 TLE's: a new one tends to launch when the previous one hits the Velious era.

    Pretty much all damage in the game can crit. Critting is especially important for Klee's kit because of her A4.

    I'd recommend replacing Fischl/Xiangling on the second team with some form of Ameno so you can get the -40% RES buff for Chongyun's Cryo attacks.

    He doesn't. Only his hold-E can hit airborne mobs from Venti's Q. If you're in Razor's Q, some of the claw swipes might be able to hit the airborne mobs but that's not the core of your damage.

    EQ2 having $6.5 million in bookings up to September 30th with only 29k MAU is very impressive.

    Your team is reaction-based so you'll get a lot more mileage out of Keqing than Razor. Get Venti on that team with the 4-piece Viridescent artifact set to reduce enemy Electro RES and watch Keqing cut through mobs like butter.

    Xinyan and Razor constellations are the main draw of this banner for me. Zhongli is a nice extra.

    I think PF2e is overall a richer and deeper experience. Your character's combat and out-of-combat abilities develop independently, so you don't have to to sacrifice one to be good at the other, but there's still enough variety amongst non-combat activities that will require players to cooperate...
