You’re giving the devs a lot of credit, here. It’s less “this particular chimera would be most adept to combat” and more:
“I drew a super-buff zombie alien man with a weird head. He can shoot lazers. Writers, make a backstory for him.”
That’s pretty funny to me. I read the start of a King novel when I was probably too young for it (pretty sure it was It?), and just got bored with it. Never tried reading another for years. A decade or two later I tried the Dark Tower series and ended up binge-reading the first 5 books.
I really love those books, although I absolutely see their flaws and understand why people wouldn’t like them.
Either way, I definitely don’t think you need to be a Stephen King fan to enjoy them. I mean, I’m certainly not and I certainly did. Still haven’t read any of his other works…
Lol, what did you say that got you banned?

LMAO I bought Factorio a few years ago, fully intending to play it, after multiple people said “it is right up your alley”
Your comment, and the replies are to it, have made me very happy I never got around to it. I probably would have loved/hated it. For like 5 years of my life.
OMG. I remember that fucking treadmill. That must’ve been the game. Brb, gonna do something I could never do as a kid (or be humiliated trying)
You’ve just unlocked a core memory for me. Idk if it was Digimon World 2 specifically, but one of the World games had your Digimon pooping as a core mechanic, and I thought that was about the funniest thing that had ever been conceived. And, obviously, I also never got remotely close to beating it.
I might have to download it and see if: A) my humor has evolved at all beyond “lol poop” (probably not) and B) I can maybe beat it now (probably not)
Cool, so in a few years we’ll have a screen which isn’t better in any noticeable way?
Art/media is part of the world/history
And they are created by human beings, who have every right to decide what their creations are worth to them and under what terms other people can use their creations. I whittled a pretty cool dragon out of a stick once. It’s technically part of the world/history. That doesn’t mean anyone else has a right to it.
Let us pay for things and have them, it’s that simple.
Absolutely, if I am willing to sell you that thing for the price you are offering. If I am not, then the deal doesn’t go through. That is how deals work. You cannot rent a car for $60/day and then decide “actually I’m going to keep this forever.” That was not the deal you agreed upon.
Once it cannot be sold it should be publically available if someone who has it wants to make it so
Yes, I agree. In this case, though, the person who “has it” is the owner. Not the person who signed a deal saying “I myself will use this under the terms we have both agreed upon” and then proceeds to break those terms. Copyright law (in the US) is bullshit and needs a whole lot of reform, but if we’re talking about media made recently? By a still living human? Yes, they should own what they create.
but many pirates are productive members of society or couldn’t buy to begin with
Yes, I imagine this applies to both you and I as pirates. But as a productive member of society, I am fully aware that I am not entitled to anything owned by anyone else. I will not die if I don’t see that new movie I want to, and I am aware of that. I know that me pirating is both immoral and illegal, and directly hurts others. I am willing to admit that.
I have no legal option to own you. Is it moral, then, for me to turn to illegal means to own you?
Now replace “you” with “content you created”, and tell me how it’s different.
So basically:
Takano: I drew a hot big witchy gothy dommy mommy.
Fans (drooling): Step on me.
Takano: Writers, make it work.
