If MAGA is any indication, being connected to Yahweh's wi-fi is a horrific thing that destroys body and soul. Give me the fluoride.

In lieu of a bible, someone will do a dramatic reading of this to ICE:
I probably will get it when Turkey Day rolls around. Anyhow, counter-suggestion: Check out La-Mulana if you like puzzles with your Metroidvania. They are extremely long and difficult games, but is worth your time if you got the lateral thinking to puzzle out the riddles and enjoy things like King's Quest.
The Touhou franchise strikes me as the modern Lovecraft. People are creating fangames, and go on to make them into commercial products. Around the 22nd or thereabout, "Shrine Maiden Wars" will be released, which is a take on the Super Robot Wars formula, but with the Touhou cast. It is an incredibly vibrant ecosystem of fanworks, where most people get to have fun AND profit.
IMO, the way it should be is that concepts and art should be free to be used by anyone. However, specific incarnations made someone can't be copied. For example, Nintendo can make a Pokemon game, as can Sega with the same characters. Naturally, Nintendo can make a Shin Megami Mario game.
The important thing is that the company or people behind an incarnation is distinctly labelled, so that people can't confuse who made what. In this way, variants of a media can fulfill niches that otherwise wouldn't be possible. Say, for example, a WoodRocket "Jessie Does James" hentai anime.
Honestly, it might be worth it. I don't want to live my life in a MAGAT America. Of course, the price is that I have to be willing to give up my life to secure an America worth living in.
As I mentioned on Bluesky: This is not just evil, but also dumb. Medics will not treat ICE personnel if they are endangered by just doing their job. The point of the social contract is that everyone works together to ensure that all people get to live a decent life. Abusing the doctors is a good way to be removed from the census, because they have better people to spend their efforts on.
I am cool with everything stuffed into AI and freely distributed, whatever the form. Bluntly, I think copyright sucks, and want it gone. Nintendo shouldn't be able to patent game mechanics, and I would like to see more mashups of things.
I want this America to fall apart, so that the good bits and bad parts can go their separate ways. The MAGATs can have their Praxis hellholes and fuck each other over, provided they leave decent people alone.
...unfortunately, I suspect it will take a civil war to filter these POS out of our society.
