stopyright is murder 

there is a shortage of ventilators
because they're all being used constantly, they sometimes break down
some people are uploading and sharing repair manuals for those ventilators
countries (and in particular states) are asking manufacturers to share those as well

some manufacturers, however, view it as their copyright, and something that only their authorized repair people should have access to
they are refusing to release the repair manuals,
and are sending DMCA takedowns towards any reuploads

as a result, some ventilators that would otherwise be used are sitting in a closet
waiting for an "authorized repair person" to come by and fix them, even when there isn't a huge demand and restrictions on travel

if you've ever been in a similar (but less lethal) situation, you know how long that can take, and how many "trips" that can require before it works correctly
in short
the enforcement of copyright by these manufacturers is actively costing people their lives
copyright is now being used for murder

how many dead bodies will it take?

This little ITX case build is the QUIETEST fucking system I've ever encountered holy shit. I mean sure it's just in bios at hte moment while I prep a usb install pen but...

Cue panning shot across Ren's "Filing System" which is "lol fuck it paper go wheeeee"

...I had windows 10 pro license keys SOMEWHERE around here... where the heck did they go to??

IO keep forgetting this mod literally expects you to jump, like actually jump, not just run really fast off a ledge.

LOL NEVERMIND THIS GUN ONESHOTS ARCHVILES AND REVENANTS AS WELL AND IT PENETRATES SO ANYTHING IN THAT LINE DIES IN ONE SHOT UNLESS IT'S A BARON OR TOUGHER THIS IS THE BEST GUN

...oh come the fuck on this is a castlevania track you're playing XD

lol nevermind the railgun (or railbow gun) oneshots most normal enemies (including hell knights) and two shots Barons of Hell nice

Honestly it just sticks too close to the Doom formula, though the level design is pretty nice! Except this ghost level where to get a particular big coin you gotta press a button, run to the other side of the room through a small maze to get through an open door, go up the lift inside, press a button in the room BEYOND that, then get BACK on the lift before it goes back down, HOPE you're in time to get BACK through the door you opened before it closes again, then rush to the OTHER side again. D:

if there's one complaint about Doom the Golden Souls it's that the only weapons of any use are the cannon and the ak. The spike gun which replaces the plasma gun is absolutely useless except as a way of rebounding shots (and it's just the nailgun from quake only worse) and does less damage than the AK, and the BFG replacement is apparently some kind of ... railgun? No idea how good that is but it's a single target weapon as opposed to like... wipe out everything weapon.

aw nice there's a piano in the ghost house area of Golden Souls that lets you play one of the classic Doom themes lol

I gotta say, Brutal Doom is a heck of a thing and really fun and interesting and REALLY changes up the Doom gameplay to be more tactical and fun (if more challenging), but ... there's something really nice about playing Doom in a Super Mario 64 themed world where you gotta explore and find coins and platform a lot and... aaaa.

It's a little barebones in the first one, but apparently the second is even better. Can't wait :D

Mornin, I'm up early because I forgot to take the recycling bin out to the road last night for bin collection, but I remembered just before I actually passed out for sleep so set an early alarm and actually got up and did it so yay me

time to play Doom : The Golden Souls because heck yeah mario style platforming in FPS Doom engine

I'm extremely pleased with my decision to name my character "DANGIT!!" in this game. :blobuwu: #LinksAwakening #NintendoSwitch

uhhh I might be out of games that ive made for #mastomonday (which just means I should make one for next week :p)

so uh, here's my pixel art tarot deck
mozz.itch.io/the-arcade-arcanu
free for use and remix

so I decided to stop playing serious dooms, and started playing some more silly ones.

And some more awesome ones

Like... the Castlevania mod for doom which is just... absolutely bloody spectacular oh my GOD. Not even kidding, if you got GZDoom go get yourself castlevania simon's destiny it's... it's really excellent.

also Golden Souls 1 is so far really fun and amazing and charming. Looking forward to the Woolball games too!

why and how is Hexsoil a parody of Betray?? ... I'm talking about Doom 2 The Way id Did of course, and how the easter egg map Hexsoil is apparently a parody of the Xbox original bonus map of Betray from its Doom 2 port.

...

I mean, looking at the map of Hexsoil, it looks pretty regular. Betray looks... ....

...well it looks like something I would have created in the original doom level editor.

...apparently also there's a name for this style of map: 1994 map.

wait fuck, 'baa' can also be pronounced [bæː] in the right context, i'm throwing this damn orthography in the trash where it belongs
