It’s been 37 mins and it’s only like 8am

I don’t have any context to know if that works here or not, but either way, relying on headcanon to explain the primary text is a hallmark of sloppy writing.

I would like to live in a world that does not inspire outrage

Because there is no in-fiction reason why that would be the case. Dragons aren’t realistic, but not losing weight is internally inconsistent with the rules of the world as presented to us.

I’ve heard building codes can be just as bad, some places the law just says to follow a book and you have to pay some company like $300 to get the book and license things

I applaud your dedication!

Everything runs on us-east-1 lol

People who want linux usage to spread need to decide if they want widespread adoption (this comes with users who cannot troubleshoot and fix their own problems) or experts only (these people are already using linux)

he’ll associate this with Linux being janky again 🙄

This falls under that category. He installed a linux distro, the distro is janky.

This is very cool!

Bad take, why should they stop

This is true, but it shouldn’t be :(

Dropped a bombshell? More like dropped some water in the ocean. This is obvious to anyone not burying their head in the sand.

AAAAAAA

Just to make an argument that at a glance that single image looks like Minecraft?

Yup, that’s the reason. OP had said that the textures weren’t even similar iirc. Arguing against that doesn’t mean I was arguing against their overall conclusion about the DMCA being invalid. Probably should have phrased it less confrontationally.

Well, yeah. I’m not arguing that they actually copied Minecraft. I’m arguing that they ended up in a visually similar place. Which it doesn’t seem you disagree with?

My point is that it can be true that the screenshot looks like Minecraft without the game actually being an MC ripoff.

And as an aside, Terraria being a 2d game has different considerations for their visuals. You’re basically getting xray vision into each block. The sides of terraria blocks do have grass, but unlike in MC or Allumeria you can also see the dirt inside the block.

I get your point, but there are some pretty specific similarities, notably:

• Grass texture sides having exposed dirt
• Clumps of pumpkin blocks as a forest-generating feature
• Single-block tree trunks with a clump of leaves on top
• Minecraft-like terrain generation and texturing

All of which are featured prominently in the screenshot. There are differences-- taller trees, more small vegetation, different grass block color variation, colored and differently-modeled leaves-- but it’s more similar than other voxel-based games I’m familiar with. Maybe I don’t play many mc-likes, but other voxel games like Fractal Block World, Teardown, that foresty one with the tiny voxels (forgot the name), Lucid Blocks (the other voxel game by this same creator(!!) about a liminal world), and even Hypixel have more notable differences than this screenshot does. Maybe there’s more to the game that’s different, but this particular screenshot looks like lightly modded MC.

None in particular, but I don’t have experience with triple-A games enough to know about this artstyle

I’m not arguing about whether the copyright claim is legit. I’m saying that claiming the picture in the post doesn’t look like MC is a questionable opinion at best.

It looks like Minecraft bro turn off your reality distortion field
