Sort of. They can be, but are not always.

The 1980s were before the DMCA. In those days if you bought an expensive piece of electronics both seller and buyer expected that you owned it.

Caves of Qud. I don’t even like it much, but for some reason I can’t stop.

I don’t really know much about French politics, but surely there is something similar that right wing reactionaries can get upset about there.

For example a Dutch friend of mine who has been radicalized by Joe Rogan, Twitter, and Facebook tells me that you can’t say anything bad about Islam in Holland, as he sends me link after link with fascist anti-Muslim propaganda. (Like… you can’t say things that the “news” that you just sent me is literally saying?)

Nice video!

I got Caves of Qud on sale over at itch.io, and have been struggling to get anywhere. The learning curve is steep, so when it gets too much I go back to my Dwarf Fortress game that I started over Christmas.

I almost never pause. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Making soap in Dwarf Fortress is difficult, but by no means impossible. No need for your citizens to have unhappy thoughts - or worse get infected wounds - because they can’t clean!
