The Pirate Ship / ARR! / Carla Niven must be destroyed!

I want to know the answer to that question as well. Maybe they have a really bad video card?  Eureka! You've cracked the mystery, Blue. Carla Niven is catering to all the owners of the GeForce -0001 video card. LOL! The "Cave Wall Drawing" model. |

I have BV, but haven't bothered to install it.
The hasle of updating all my hacks and mods, dealing with SuckyROM, and hoping that NVidia Blue Screen Of Perpetual Lag problems don't resurface all combined to make installing BV a headache before I even looked at it.
Maybe I'll ARRRR! it eventually. Or wait until someone makes a SecuROM removal .exe program, like the StarForce driver remover .exe I have. I installed a Microids (RIP) game with SF on it and wasn't aware of it being there until it tried to bork my legitimate software.
Since I have little free time, dealing with copy protection programs that want to kill my laptop is not on my list of Funtime Activities. I'd rather not play any games at all than deal with that shit. It's not worth the little bit of fun the game may provide.
Stupid fuckers. Copy protection programs DO NOT WORK.
I will just not buy a game if it has CP on it and I know this in advance. Even seeking out an ARRRR! version can be a pain in the butt when you have dialup and can only ARRRR! slowly or by leaving your house to find a WiFi spot that doesn't block torrenting.

It all starts to sound the same after a while.
"Hallo, friend!

What 'gap' is? I asking Peggy, she having bad Engrish too, does not know.

The reasons to buy legitimate software are getting fewer.
Soon you will hear Sony squealing that they didn't know it was a rootkit, that they buy SecuROM from someone else. It sort of worked for them last time. You must be psychic, because I hear they have already done that. |

As I said in another post at MATY, I really don't see the logic of MaxoidSam responding to "your crap is broken AGAIN!" posts with a question designed to get responding people to think of praise for EA.
Simmers: Your crap is broken AGAIN!
MaxoidSam: Why do you keep buying out broken crap if it pisses you off so much?
Simmers: Why should we waste our time telling you what you do right? Fix your broken crap! Do you REALLY want us to stop buying your crap? Because we can do that, too. ARRRRRR!
And, in another MATY thread, a poll about BV and SecuROM is proving that, indeed, some folks are no longer comfortable paying EA money for borked shite. If you get it for free by YO HO HOing it, and it doesn't install SecuROM malware on your system when you YO HO HO it, and even works BETTER than the legal copy, what motivates people to buy the legal copy? I did, and I'm annoyed I did. It's still in shrinkwrap. I knew better than to install it right away.
Next time, it is ARRRRR! for me, legal or not, and dial-up or no dial-up. That is, if I bother to install the next crappy EP anyway. Teen crap SP? Hobbies EP? Is that really what they are going with? Not Superstar or Making Magic, like a buttload of simmers begged them to do? How stupid ARE they?

Is anybody else worried that it says "Free Downloads and Tutorials by Buntah?" Shouldn't tutorials be written by people with some level of skill? No wonder there are so many shitty downloads... "Those who can't do, teach." |

I have a bunch of SMB files from when I visited in Jan and again in April. I got a bunch of older things, but anything much later than April, I probably don't have it.
If no one mirrors the files, I'll help people acquire stuff.
It will have to wait for a while, I'm swamped with school stuff and barely get a chance to sleep, much less anything else. But I may have something someone else doesn't.
Maybe if folks post what they are looking for, I can hunt them down. Stuff that needs multiple files to function, though, may be harder to dig out.

Beauty is pain...? :shock:
It looks like a flat, squished tentacle creeping out of her hip socket and spreading out all over her body. Trying to lure and capture unsuspecting men and women to feed the horror that is Carla Niven? :shock: LADIES! Tired of bathing suits in old, tired styles like bikinis, monokinis, tankinis, bandeaux, maillot and more? The newest style of swimming cossie is the Cthulsuit*! Get yours today from Carla Niven! * Just ignore the demonic chanting and the dread and despair you feel when wearing the Cthulsuit. you'll get used to it. |

The Pirate Ship / ARR! / My Story as an Artist on TSR & The Inside Machinations

Well, copyright law is quite screwy at the moment, but I like to believe (and I honestly hope) that free stuff, freely shared, non-profit, is considered free use.
However, trademarks are a little different than materials under copyright. If you don't protect your trademarks, which includes stopping unauthorized use, you lose the rights to the trademark. There's precedent for that. It's one reason why it pisses Adobe off when people use photoshop as a verb--they can lose the trademark "Photoshop" if the name becomes common usage. Which...they're a little late on, so it might end up as too bad, so sad. They used to have a little bit on their website about how we so shouldn't use the term photoshop in ways Adobe doesn't approve. This happens fairly often in the UK and USA. In the UK, all pens are biros, and vacuuming is hoovering. In the US, all dark carbonated sugary beverages are cokes, you xerox things, and any disposable tissue is a kleenex. Xerox is fighting back with adverts, saying people need to call it photocopying. I think Kleenex is fighting back as well. But in many cases, it is a losing battle. Language does what it will. |
