All the "Onii-chan" moans over the years have brought us to this point.

Race and religion are absolutely just smoke and mirror scapegoats and panic-triggering red buttons, for the far-right.

People vote far right because of strongman propaganda (Great Leader will solve it all!!!!), combined with feelings of anger, frustration and powerlessness.

Any country that keeps it's people poor and/or let's rich fucks get rich enough, will get a blooming field of far-right politicians, vying for the privilege of getting more power, to suck the rich people's dicks better, and get richer themselves.

Sounds promising! Pretty smart move to have completed a specific chunk of the game before opening the early access up too

Wait. Do they? Where is the video? So they I can independently verify your claim.

🤓 The better, and more accurate version of the joke, is the Greek person saying

"We invented the Orgy!"

And the Italian saying

"Yeah, but we innovated by adding women."

The drivers for chores are probably not embedded in the kennel, it would be hard to do chores from there

That's not what they asked

I'm getting the sense that you didn't actually watch the whole video, because your only two points in this comment,

In the absence of IP laws, creatives would be able to create their works, but they'd also be competing against companies that have the resources to monetize, influence the general public, and kill the franchise through poor choices.

And

It's really important to know that the vast majority of people aren't going to have the goodwill to tip or otherwise support free works, and it's even less likely if a large company does enough marketing to overshadow an artist.

, are answered during the video, and I don't see you arguing the points made by him, you're just straight up stating the opposite.

And your first point,

Right now, a majority of creatives don't own their IP in the legal sense, and they can't stop large companies from milking their works dry as a result.

, is about how the current system doesn't work to protect actual artists, yet does work to protect large IP-pimping companies.

"Reasonable control" is only possible in the legal sense, not the real sense, so I doubt artists care about it, outside of monetisation, which is what we're attempting to replace.

Right now as we are speaking, the art of thousands upon thousands of those creators is being stolen constantly by legally gray AI scraping by huge companies, or illegally by smaller merch leeches.

The internet makes data protection impossible.

The law, only prevents the most egregious kinds of 'monetisation with someone else's art', and is unable to stop the rest, for practical reasons.

If artists didn't have to worry about being compensated enough... Would they still want to have "reasonable control"? Would we still "risk" them being "demotivated", from being unable to forbid others specifically from making money with their ideas?

I think the human drive to create isn't that neurotic. I think this kind of "demotivation" only happens for the kind of human who has been abused for years by the rules of the absurd economy we live in. And that's what we're saying should change.

How early access are we talking about, exactly? Right now I'm trying to push high heat on the first one, but either way I was intending to wait until the second one had a full release, or was said to be basically complete before playing.

What do they mean exactly when they say early access right now?

Ah, the sequel existing evaded my mind 100%.

I was just poking fun though either way, of course Chaos absolutely doesn't need a consistent appearance canonically. It's Chaos!

No, half as long
