The way I interpret it, he's not even talking about all sex workers, only the streamer types which he thinks are going into a job that will become barren in a few years because of oversaturation(i.e. more showgirls than guys willing to pay for something that is mostly free today?), and that imposing taxation now will prevent enough from going into the business so they don't get hurt when the well dries or when the IRS and congress start making up laws to protect and regulate them ( a la what happened a few months ago with an underaged girl being kidnapped from her home and used as a verified showgirl on pornhub against her will) which might increase the cost of running a showgirl business.

 

I don't really have an opinion about this. He could be right, or he could be full of shit, no way for me to know.

That's why I'm saying that for most ppl this is an added income job and not a full time job.

And I'll add that this is why many of them don't show their face, in hope of avoiding the stigma that comes as part of the work.

 

Yes. I'm also full of shit, as you say, but those without son should cast the first stone

Uh, as he came into the window
It was the sound of a crescendo, uh!
He came into her apartment
He left the bloodstains on the carpet, uh!
She ran underneath the table
He could see she was unable
So she ran into the bedroom
She was struck down
It was her doom
Annie are you OK?

So, Annie are you OK?

Are you OK, Annie?

Annie are you OK?

So, Annie are you OK?

Are you OK, Annie?

Annie are you OK?

So, Annie are you OK?

Are you OK, Annie?

Annie are you OK?

So, Annie are you OK?

Are you OK, Annie?
Annie are you OK?
Will you tell us that you're OK ( uh!)
There's a sign in the window
That he struck you - A crescendo Annie
He came into your apartment
He left the bloodstains on the carpet ( uh!)
Then you ran into the bedroom
You were struck down
It was your doom

Annie are you OK?…

NO

To be fair, how would you prove it is intended to take copyrighted materials? It's the same deal as with the console emulators. Making them and using them is not a crime as it is useless without a game's .ISO, it's only once you pirate the console game's disc image it can be proven as a crime.

Nothing wrong with making or using a program to access your GPU (which you own) to take parts from it's memory or whatever while playing game (which you also own) and converting that data into a different format. It's only a crime once you share this data online and it's clearly recognized as a part of intellectual property that you do not own.

Yeah, let's call it the Plex loophole

Ross, I hope you realize that even if this software were possible to make, it would be completely illegal. It sounds to me basically like a tool designed to make stealing copyrighted material as easy and efficient as possible. 

That was never an issue before

The very complex task you asking for, Ross. Cool video, I like to watch your videos about your ideas.

I think it will be a great idea for games you can not access the data, like yea, games on encrypted servers. Fear that with all this "google stadia" stuff there might be even more of them. Something is better than nothing, you are right.

However in general game worlds and game looks and feels is very complex thing, as you mentioned in the video.

 

World data, external meshes, palettes, shaders, collision. The first thing I had in mind is my internal video game purist screaming inside my head. I think Daggerfall unity was an awesome example. I like that this port exists, that Daggerfall got back its modding community, however, I love the original engine, Bethesda's Xngine. How it feels, how it renders things, and how a lot of things worked in the original game. And this port on unity is not... very accurate. Using default unity stuff, it making lower resolutions and original palette only as some post-shader "emulations". Walking physics, rain and snow effects, headbobbing effects were different, and just some unity stuff that looks weird. Speaking of drawing distance it also has limitations, and more than that, terrain generation is inaccurate. It just using the original height map of the game, but all magic done now by unity instruments, so you have now this smooth terrain with huge view distance that looks not much like the original. This game feels like a "unity game with Daggerfall assets" and I don't like this feeling. Sad that XLengine project died, I hope Lucius will come back for it after he will end with "The Force Engine", my favorite kind of projects of new engines is ones that reverse-engineer original as closely as possible, with new features added only something on top on the accurate representation of the original game.

And problem of such projects not lack of data usually, everything cam be reverse-engenereed, just lack of enthusiasm or interest in some games. There are huge amount of games that will benefited from ports, patches, improvments but there are no one really interested to doing something complex with them.

 

However, speaking about your ideas about "video game musem" this is absoluetly awesome idea! You know, long time ago when I played Garry's Mod I had wierd idea what if porting or making model for everything, port here all props, models, maps from a lot of games, and more, universes! This something what can be started before dream tool you are discribing, but might leed to legal issues. However for most older games I don't think anyone would care lol.

My dream software is an airplane throttle that increases the money in my bank account
