Most of the IP rights for those old abandoned games are split up between a bunch of random legal firms.

Makes it a nightmare to legally remaster or remake old games. Since a game’s copyright will be owned by Law Firm A, and the trademark will be owned by Law Firm B, and the art and music will be owned by Law Firm C, but then Law Firm B says they actually own some of that art and music as part of their trademark ownership, etc etc

That makes the situation easier for piracy/unofficial ROMs though, since lawyers aren’t going to do shit when they can’t even figure out who legally owns a game.

I love when cities have the small business + apartment layout.

Especially when the ground level has something useful like a bodega, so people can just go downstairs for food and necessities instead of driving somewhere.

That is the point.

People can use their own cell data to watch meme videos instead of hogging all the network bandwidth and slowing down wifi speeds for all the students who are trying to get actual schoolwork done.

I take CBD to calm down if I’m starting to meltdown.

I don’t know if it’s medically ok to give CBD to an 8-year-old though.

Orange cat, no braincell.

If we are counting video games as art, then there have been plenty of rich techies over the past 2 decades who have spent millions out of pocket trying to create their own version of “The Next World of Warcraft Plus Call of Duty Except Better”.

We don’t usually hear about video games funded and created by rich tech people though, because their game projects rarely make it to launch (due to the fact that video game development is actually much more challenging than it looks).

Doesn’t seem very realistic for anti-depressant meds to cause what you are describing. Drinking alcohol while on most of the commonly prescribed anti-depressants just makes them less effective and more likely to cause liver damage or trigger epilepsy.

I know people with bi-polar manic depression who stop taking their mood-stabilizer meds because they think they don’t need it anymore, and then they go out and do a ton of crazy stuff while blackout drunk and remember none of it.
