An epic tale of DMCA abuse and weird Japanese 90s video games, with a happy ending. (If I do say so myself.) https://gamehistory.org/cookies-bustle/

Just 15 minutes to go until my
ROMChip fundraising stream and right now it looks like I'm going to get to play the current version of The Long Dark! But if you donate now, you can make my life harder and change that! https://donate.romchip.org/
Watch it here: https://www.twitch.tv/romchipjournal

If Romchip raises more than $8500, I'll get chased by wolves, probably while answering questions about copyright law, in a version of the game I've never played before. If we raise more than $9500 before my stream, I'll play the early access launch version. (God help me.)

This truly made my day so much better.

@overholt@glammr.us I mean, pretty much.

Laine asks guests to play a game that means something to them historically, and so I had to pick my ride-or-die favorite, Hinterland's The Long Dark. Canadian wilderness survival! Wolves! Blizzards! Permadeath!
But we're making things a bit spicy.
Because The Long Dark allows players to play older versions of the game through their Time Capsule program, I made a deal: how much money ROMChip raises before my timeslot determines how far back in the game's history the version I play will be.

In short, donate before my block at 9 PM ET on Saturday to maximize my confusion and witness the hilarity of me failing on stream to play a game that I've put a couple hundred hours into. (I'll commit to at least Stalker difficulty, maybe Misery or Interloper depending.)

We just had the panel prep call for this event on the Comstock Act and let me tell you, you will want to be there for it.
