This is the part that gets skipped.
It wasn’t him just going out and saying a little, quiet prayer to himself. I wouldn’t give a shit about that, I don’t think anybody would. You do you.
He was bringing a ton of students into the fold. The whole team was praying with him.
He claimed that it wasn’t required or expected but come on. You know damn well if you were a player on the team and you’re the only guy not praying, you’re gonna have a bad time.
It was designed to work with “alternatively obtained” games such as DRM-free games. While Crackpipe can be used with cracked games, it does not encourage or condone piracy.
People, come on.
First of all the name, the logo of a pirate, using the terminology “alternatively obtained” - this is clearly for sharing cracked/pirated games. Any plausible deniability is out the window. Especially with using copyrighted game box arts in the screenshots.
If you changed the language to be something like:
It’s designed to assist with sharing games with friends by providing a mechanism for downloading and managing game installations. Please review your game’s licenses to ensure this is an acceptable use before sharing.
Then you’d be able to say “this is meant for sharing freeware/shareware easily and making it a social experience.”
Also change the name and logo, and get those copyrighted box arts out of the screenshots and just use art from open source games SuperTaxKart, OpenRA, etc. (Technically those may be copyrighted, depends on each game, but at least you’re not dealing with fucking Sony by showing a Spider-Man game).
It’s all rigged, technically. If you go to a real life casino, slots are certified to pay out some percentage of plays. It’s like, 8%.
If you play craps, roulette - the house always has the edge because there’s more results favorable to them.
The only “casino” game where the house doesn’t have an edge is poker because that’s player against player. The house doesn’t really have a stake in any outcome, they’re just being paid to host the game.
