Worked in a few kitchens when I was a teenager and those industrial dishwashers usually have a sink to the right of them and a flat surface to the left so you can slide trays of dishes through them from right to left. The dishwasher itself divides the dirty and clean areas so there’s no cross-contamination. If one were set up so that you just slide the tray in and back out the same way I don’t think that would meet hygiene standards.
I played Ori and the Blind Forest which I enjoyed, although I was expecting a metroidvania. The platforming was quite fun and challenging enough and the art looked great.
I played a bit of Moonring, which seems really good, but I’m probably not used to the genre and found it a bit too confusing to continue.
I briefly played Marvel Rivals with a friend, I had fun with it in these first few hours, but I haven’t played hero shooters before so it’s early for me to judge. I’m a bit surprised there’s no restrictions on roles in a party, as most matches seem to have 1 tank and 4 dps and as a healer I can’t figure out how to keep everyone alive alone. Hopefully ranked is more balanced.
Also started playing DnD (5e) with friends. First time, seems fun. I’m playing artificer, planning on specializing to alchemist at lvl 3.
More puzzle platformer with progression in the form of abilities you unlock.
For why I don’t think it’s a metroidvania, it’s because there’s no backtracking when you get a new ability (except for small optional stuff), you start from the center and go to each area in order and the areas themselves are mostly linear.
At first I was like “WTF does an indie games site have to do with Funko?” then I Googled it…
Looks like they hosted a BUNCH of infringing games, so Funko, instead of doing the righteous thing and sending them a takedown request, just nuked the whole domain…
I mean, I don’t blame them for protecting their IP, they just picked a super shitty way to do it.
I don’t even think they would have needed an official cease and desist… just a friendly note of “Hey, none of this Funko material is licensed, please remove it.”
Well, if you care about an indie gaming site being shut down for copyright violations, yeah, you might want to actually care about copyright infringement.
What they were doing here though was supporting developers profiting off someone elses IP. It would be like, I dunno, I started an independent Superman movie and was fundraising off that. It’s a little different from piracy.
In the case of the Five Nights at Freddies game, the developer is infringing on not one but TWO properties.
“In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include—
the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;
the nature of the copyrighted work;
the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and
the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.”
So, me, making a fan page for FunkoPop versions of the Five Nights at Freddies characters and using their images? THAT’S fair use.
Me charging money for a fan game based on the same Funko versions of those characters is NOT fair use.
“Section 107 of the Copyright Act gives examples of purposes that are favored by fair use: “criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, [and] research.””
I blame them for protecting their IP like a old white person protects their property value by shooting at any black person that moves into the neighborhood.
