  • If you’re unsure, buy a nice used ps4 with some games for dirt cheap to see if you like it. If you do, I suggest eventually moving forward with the PC route. Either a steam deck or a laptop and an Xbox controller. If you know you’re liking gaming you could go all out on a gaming desktop PC.

    Consoles are nice, but a PC game library is compatible for decades of games, and you can buy them for a lot less $ most of the time.




  • At the same time, “similar works” are protected and allowed as legal. For instance the 5000 spaghetti westerns that exist, or the entire formula for 80’s slasher films. Or Ants and A Bugs Life, or Olympus Has Fallen and White House Down, or Deep Impact and Armageddon.

    So there has to be some sort of line somewhere that’s a cut-off, but it might be hard to find. Musk wanted to use blade runner and was told to fuck off, so he made up his own dystopian Sci fi future scene. He most certainly aimed for the blade runner look, but was it illegal?




  • To show they know you, at least a bit. Cash can obviously used by everyone about anywhere, but for that reason it can be given to someone you don’t know at all and they’ll like it.

    A gift card shows that the giver at least believes they know the gifted well enough to know where they like to spend money. They just don’t know them well enough to know they would like “this specific thing” and know they don’t already one one.
