I’m pretty sure I got stuck on some Samson quest in that game for like two years before I found some guide telling me what to do?

Kinda reminds me of Wild Arms 2 and a puzzle toward the end about days of the week but it was some bad Japanese translation or some shit?

Stuff like that is just killer.

Having to go through all 9999? Combinations for Star Tropics because you were too poor to buy the game with a booklet for original DRM is up there.

Yeah perpetual royalties are a nonsense slippery slope. People are pushing for it in all the wrong ways wanting a piece of the pie from the higher ups when in reality the way the money flows just needs to be altered.

Bridge and road crews don’t get to get a penny every time someone drives over stuff.

Creation does not mean benefit in perpetuity. It means you created something. You should be paid properly for it, yes, but it doesn’t mean every time someone mentions your book you get a penny from them lol.

Melancholy Elephants was a great Hugo Award short story about this very thing written in 1983. It’s a great read for those who want to go in a bit blind. http://spiderrobinson.com/melancholyelephants.html

How the hell do you spoiler tag on Kbin? lol

Great. Their CEO can make $2,000,000 / year and the rest $100,000 capping their maximum pay at 20x their lowest paid employee.

Either everyone needs to get royalties or nobody does.

Pay your voice actors right the first time instead of paying them shit per line. Or if your video game becomes an astounding success, all 1,000 people get a slice of that 100,000,000 million it made in sales via residuals. A cool $100,000 for everyone!

Don’t forget to advocate for yourself even if you have a union. Nobody ever gets paid more by saying nothing.

Now if only it allowed you could login with KBin. :(

Almost everything on the internet is just imitation.

Community made canvases sound great for almost any major website to me. I’m down for it.

I’m pretty confident if people expect you to participate in their community they either want you to already know about it, or learn about it through osmosis by not telling you the insular gatekeeped references.

If it’s something you should know and you’re either young or just one of those rare things you’ve never encountered… You’re on the internet dude. Use Google lol.
