I bet the truck driver found themselves saying…

Puts on sunglasses

“Give me a break.”

*Yeeeeeeaaaaaaaah"

This but unironically. People were somehow super entertained by the most mundane and childish things. Consider this:

Our first Wren evening was a “knockout,” in the spring of 1943. The Hall was so packed that men were even perched on the window ledges. No audience could possibly have been more enthusiastic or shown their appreciation in a greater degree. I am sorry I have not that first program. Third Officer Phillips and several of the other officers sat in the front row of the Rest Room, really the dressing room on concerts nights. One of the officers recited and I have never laughed so much as I did that night she told us about the woman who swallowed a fly and then swallowed a cat to eat that fly and a dog to eat the cat, and so on: her “swallows” each time were so realistic.

And of course that was only the 1940s, not the 1700s when the painting in the OP was painted.

Yeah, I think basically the only reason why Transport Tycoon is in the news now-a-days is because they’re releasing a new edition of Transport Tycoon. And in preparation for that (basically to shut down who they see as “competition”), they’re fucking over everyone they view as potential competition.

Ah. That makes more sense than anything else I’ve heard. Thanks for that.

Ah. NY Post.

New euphemism just dropped.

I know the OpenTTD folks have been trying to deflect any ire from being directed at Atari, but man… fuck Atari for forcing them off of Steam and GOG. I really don’t think they have any legal leg to stand on and are just saber rattling to scare the OpenTTD folks into submission.

34 felony convictions and still votes.

What about this could there be to be happy about?

We know who has motive.

Abolish borders.

Do you know of any place to see which states specifically?

Yeah, it’s possible OpenTTD is only scared of Atari on the basis that OpenTTD doesn’t have the resources to fight even a completely spurious case.

Edit: Someone in another thread suggested it might be that the OpenTTD folks are in breach of EULA provisions prohibiting reverse engineering and that might be what legal justification Atari would have if they did bring this to court.

Thank you for your solidarity with us Americans. I don’t live in California, but I don’t think it’s less likely to affect me by virtue of not living in California.

Without knowing what distro you’re on, it probably involves switching distros.

Does Atari have any legal leg to stand on? My only guess as to why they’d have any legal right to force OpenTTD off of Steam is that OpenTTD still uses original Transport Tycoon graphics and/or text, or at least a derivative work thereof. It doesn’t seem like OpenTTD copied any of Transport Tycoon’s code, so it must be other stuff like graphics or text.

I love how the first thing they brag about is that you can put the status bar on any edge of the screen – a feature that Microsoft previously took away.
