  1. I forgot how terribly stingy the friends list is for LoveLive...
  2. Offices of Delight Works are safe, as Cutie Marie Beach Volleyball player has been obtained. And they tossed in Archuria as a bonus. No Martha but oh well.
  3. Great game. Terrible voice acting, though. Deadpan - "A bomb."
  4. Distribution is the key. Mostly because if you're just writing you own little story about Deadpool hanging out with Hello Kitty in Narnia for your own enjoyment, it's not likely the companies ever see it. You aren't profiting from it (in a financial term) so there's no harm to the original IPs. Free distribution is technically illegal, but it depends on the company or IP holder how far they want to go. As you noted, freebies tend to get a blind eye as it's mostly free advertising and the company stands to gain very little aside from looking like a bully. Though they may get a bit rankled if you represent their IP in a way they don't like. They may also take issue if you use the website for making money (like click banners and pop ups) though. Once you bring money directly changing hands into the equation, all bets are off. That's just outright theft.
  5. If it's made by an unauthorized source from outside of the company who produced the game, paying for a mod would be illegal - the person who made the mod is profiting off of the intellectual property of the original holder. Even free distribution can be tricky, though companies will usually turn a blind eye if no profit is made (but not always). The question is how much time and resources does a company want to use pursuing those profiting off of their IP.
  6. Incorrect - parody is generally legal with or without permission of the original artist and falls under "fair use." Cases in point - Weird Al doesn't "have" to get permission to parody a work, but as a courtesy he usually does. "Amish Paradise" was actually recorded without Coolio's permission (Weird Al thought he had gotten it) but because parody is legal Coolio had no recourse other than to complain. The two eventually made up, but there was nothing illegal with what Weird Al did. Also in point - there have been parodies of computer games. For example: That was a parody of the 90's game "Myst" for you young'uns. Parody generally takes the form of what's being lampooned in a humorous way but usually has its own copyright as part of it. What I'm currently writing is a parody - we didn't need Manga Gamer or Overdrive's permission, though our boss did end up talking with Manga Gamer and they were pretty cool with it, but did request a change in the GUI and to change "GO! GO!" We did both, mostly just to avoid having hard feelings over a potential court battle that we probably would have won, but why bother when the requests were minimal? They made no mention of the two waifus or the trip to East Asia, etc. So while you can have some legal issues in parody, in general it's the safest form of playing on existing copyright. The thornier issue is using existing copyright in creating your own media. In general anything you do for yourself in your own home is protected. You can make as many X-Men comics you want. Create Deus Ex: Wipe Out Montana. Write the script to Grisaia IV - Yuugi drowns in Amane's boobs. Whatever. In your own home for yourself only is fair game. Distribution of it is the issue. Some companies are cool and will let you upload mods to Steam on their page. Some don't want any part of that and will take you down wherever you go. It kind of depends on the company. A big no-no is if you try to sell it. That's copyright theft no matter what way you slice it.
  7. Guess I could try one more whale roll, as my main only has Tamamo. Was kinda hoping for Team Oppai-Loli. But then Other Rider-Turned-Caster cutie waifu is in next gacha...
  8. The Camelot battle with Mordred is absolute horseshit. Seriously, it's that fucked up wrong.
  9. So anyone got a Fuwa crew going?
  10. The fact that the writer decided to only make one group (Trumpers) as trolls automatically shows the bias of his/her perceptions. Truth is, anyone on the internet can be a troll, regardless of political ideology. In fact, I'd say trolls probably don't have much ideology, or they hide it, and mostly just try to piss off anyone they can.
  11. Nope.
  12. Sure, consider your wish granted. Your dog is the most annoying chihuahua ever who only knows how to get scared, yap at everybody and pee on the kitchen floor. I wish I was a little bit taller.
  13. And she's cute. I have her somewhere in my party member section. My only gripe is there doesn't seem to be a way of getting granblue coins other than ponying up cash.
  14. It's not censored, vaginas actually look like pixilated photos. True story, bruh.
  15. Why would I want to leave paradise? NO SHIP FOR YOU SHIPFU!!!!
  16. Sleep... schedule? Praytell what is this mystical thing you speak of?
  17. So, question. Anyone know the actual story of WHY we're hanging on some island, building it up with beautiful noble spirit grills in bikinis in the first place? I'm not complaining, I'm just really curious as to what the story is.
  18. I haven't had the English version crash on me at all yet. I haven't played the Japanese version enough to know of any crashing problems.
  19. Well yeah, I got lots of CEs, too, but I did manage to eventually get one Tammo Lancer. I'm not supposed to be luckier than you.
  20. Holy crap... could the luck have run dry? There is no hope for this world.
  21. When Caster Marie is released, I damn well better draw her, or fire will be set to some offices. She's way too cute.
  22. I fade in and out playing it. The gacha isn't nearly as bad as Fate/Grand Order's though. And they're pretty generous with the crystals so it's pretty easy to accumulate enough for the multi-draw. Did they ever release Katalina's swimsuit outfit? Because I want that. Name: Val Group C (whatever that means) ID: 10791969
  23. Lucid 9 fits the category. It's free, but it's also an ongoing. The next installment should be out next year.
  24. I just finished My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU Too. I have no idea what happened at the end.
