    Actually they replaced it with “EA App” last year. I’m pissed because the replacement for Origin doesn’t open The Sims 3 properly when using Create a World, so it thinks I’m just launching the game normally and doesn’t go in the correct mode to edit my world.









  • It seems good enough on Steam Deck - I set it to 30FPS because I’m playing on a PC which barely meets the system requirements and transferring the saves using Steam Cloud servers. The PC can only hit 30FPS most of the time, and even when I try to reduce graphical settings I can’t get a consistent 60FPS.

    The walking using the analog stick on the controller is pretty interesting because on PC you have to click places to move there. I like that we can do that. Though we’re restricted to a radial menu to do attacks and stuff, which I’ll have to get used to if I start any battles on the Steam Deck. So far I did all my battles on the PC.


  • Justia works with US trademarks and law. In the US trademarks currently need to be renewed every 10 years - prior to the reduction in the late 1900s they appear to be needed to be renewed only every 20 years. I don’t live in the UK, so the apparent 30 year renew requirement is much longer.

    Also it seems Wizards of the Coast were somehow able to keep their Planescape UK trademark registration intact despite letting every other Planescape related trademark registration become canceled/abandoned. I’m not sure if they had to keep up with the trademark, or if registrations in the UK last much longer without having to be kept up to date. I guess they let it lapse at the time in the US for some reason, but when they started Dungeon Master’s Guild, I think they realized they should have live registrations for the legacy setting names they had to have more power under the law to manage the use of them. I think a company would want to keep other companies in check when they’re licensing certain IPs to others.






  • If you want to understand the story properly you’ll want to play all games in the series for sure. The “convoluted story” meme probably came from the fact that there were like 11 games that had major plot threads in the full story but most of them weren’t being played - likely because people were treating them as filler spin-offs, or were locked out of playing them due to the fact the series games branched to four separate portable consoles.
