Video games, LeBron James, tattoos, and copyright law, in one story? The internet is really spoiling us today. @polygon reports on a long-drawn-out case in which tattoo artist Jimmy Hayden is suing Take-Two Interactive Software, makers of the NBA 2K video games, over the use of tattoos he made for LeBron James that were reproduced in games from 2016 to 2020. Hayden's attorney argues that Take-Two "painstakingly copied" the designs. Take-Two's team says that James' tattoos are a very small part of NBA 2K, and that James has licensed his own likeness to Take-Two, so a ruling in favor of Hayden would mean James would have to ask Hayden for permission to license his own being. Here are all the details, plus background on other cases in which tattoo artists have sued video game companies. What do you think?
New sports account I ran across tonight -- #NBA#WNBA -- if that's your thing, follow @BrooklynBuckets -- also, I know a lot of people are looking for general interest sports, so tag any suggestions for any good sports accounts below and we'll help them get some discovery here. #sports#basketball
Working on a #Twitch streaming setup because I was very kindly given a gaming PC that wasn't needed anymore and now have the basics to make it work.
I don't really play #videogames all that much, it's never been a habit since about age 20. However I may just do a lot of stream talking about #UnitarianUniversalist stuff, the process of discernment for divinity school, labor agitation and the small shop unions that exist in the #PNW these days, and playing really substandard #chess.
Also talking about #queer neat stuff in #Portland#Oregon#LGBTQ like Dyke Hoops, I'm playing pickup #basketball for the first time since I was in junior high!
I have no idea if anyone reading this likes to play Fantasy Basketball but I'm running a 12 team league and we have a couple of spots open!
Ask me anything if you have questions about how it works, or just go ahead and sign up if you already know how to play. It's a free league, we have managers from all over NA, but we're open to everyone.
Still not fully grasping at the concept of the NBA in season tournament. But it feels far easier to understand FIBA’s window classification system in my opinion.
FIBA’s window system feels closer to the Oblivion gates opening in The Elder Scrolls than a proper basketball tournament.
Unterwegs | Am Neuenheimer Ufer unten an der Ernst-Walz Brücke
Vorhin war ich auch unter bzw. um die Ernst Walz Brücke am Neuenheimer Ufer (OSM) unterwegs. Dort habe ich dann ein paar Körbe geworfen, geschaut was die Kids auf der Skateanlage unter der Brücke treiben und geschaut was es Neues in Sachen Graffiti gibt. Natürlich ist der Platz gerade nicht so reizvoll wie in der wärmeren Jahreszeit wenn man am Neckar Orte Wagen Getränke kaufen kann, Sonnenschirme die Sitzflächen überspannen, es eine Bühne gibt und am Sandbereich nebenan die Liegestühle stehen. Was Winters wie Sommers schöner wäre, wäre den Verkehrslärm loszuwerden.
