Let's talk about the ways that plagiarists and AI are trying to automate sociopathy and why copyright might actually be a powerful tool to fuck with 'em.

Today marks the 25th Anniversary of my favorite Zelda game, Majora's Mask. Of course, I had to write a little thing about how good it is and how it's impacted me a bit (I wanted to get this posted earlier in the day, but I got distracted with life).

Kinda insane that instead of creating a "Best DLC of the Year" category for it, the Game Awards have Elden Ring DLC in GOTY, taking the place of a more deserving game (I say this as someone who enjoys Elden Ring a lot).
