I’ve been awake for too many hours and probably nothing I post right now should be considered a reasonable take

Steam Hardware@sopuli.xyz•dBrand Companion Cube cancelled:English
4·3 months agoi won’t fault valve’s IP infringement team for missing one infringing product in a sea of [i’m not bothering to estimate] infringing products
it’s the fact that it’s a companion cube [valve™] for a valve [valve™] video game [valve™] console [valve™] being made by notvalve™. if it was just a t-shirt on redbubble they could probably fly under the radar, but this is too close to confusing the consumer. like, how many people here automatically assumed they had valve’s permission? which would imply some sort of partnership with valve, just by making the faceplates?
ideally that’s the kind of confusion IP law is supposed to prevent. how it’s used vs how it was intended is another can of worms (and idealism versus pragmatism is a fun argument don’t get me wrong) but we can pretend for a little bit.
like, there’s Coke trademarked to Coca Cola. no other soda or drink gets it. But in smelting and ironworks? There are a ton of coke companies. Because coke isn’t soda in smelting. There’s no confusion.

105·3 months agoYeah. This is the kind of response (as far as i can tell: open, honest) that makes me want to buy something from that company in the future. Like, you legitimately can’t buy this kind of public relations. It sucks for the business, but doing the right thing by your customers gets you repeat customers. You can’t get brand loyalty through a commercial.

3·11 months agoWhen I was playing chrono trigger the first time, I associated all the characters with friends. About 15 years later I married the woman I associated with Marle/Nadia, so I think my subconscious was telling me something.

2·2 years agoThe Jak and Daxter series is still in my top 10
I have an old usb adapter (I don’t know what it’s called, I bought it like 20 years ago) i can plug in my ps2 controllers, I synced one of my dualshock 4s to my PC, and I have a gamesir g3s I use on my phone.
I’ve got my old NES, SNES, Genesis and 2600 and associates games in a box in the garage somewhere. I should find out if they work, but (1) I don’t have anything I can connect the 2600 to and (2) I don’t have a TV with RCAs anymore so that rules out the other 3 too. fuuuuuuck. thank goodness for emulation.
