@Pirat_Nation That's a nice feature for vtubers and content creators or people using legacy accounts their parents made for them back in ~2000. Always surprised how many people are butthurt about this kind of thing being added, honestly.

Forza Horizon 5 included a feature where non-player characters addressed players using names pulled from their Microsoft Xbox accounts. This created a deadnaming problem for some transgender players whose account names did not reflect their current identity. The developers had introduced pronoun options and different body types in 2021 to promote inclusivity. However, the name-pulling mechanic during the game’s introduction led to unintended issues. In response, Forza Horizon 6 adds a prompt in the character creator asking players to confirm if they are comfortable with their Xbox account name being used by NPCs.

It was a fun, but disappointing series and season. You can’t win by falling back on 3pt attempts when the only way to beat Detroit is by taking the ball to them and pressing them on defense. Magic coaching abysmal as usual and the players have no leaders to show them how to win.

Some really really good insight on music licensing !!!!
JP Kellams@synaesthesiajp

This is an EXCELLENT question. Let me address it outside of the context of Festival, and just explain how hard music licensing is in general. There are two "sides" to every song. A 'master' side which is the original audio recording. And a 'publishing' side which is the music composition itself. Then the publishing side gets even more complicated with something called 'splits'. Splits are how the ownership of the composition is split up. So if your song has samples, boy those splits get complex REALLY quick. Now you want to make it even more complicated, there is something called the 100% rule. You have to have 100% license (master/publishing) meaning anyone who owns even 1% of a song can block that song from being licensed. Finally, because games are a visual media, you are doing something called sync licensing. (Syncing the music to visuals) Labels love this because they get paid a Brinks truck for good syncs. But it makes things incredibly hard because labels view this is a marketing/revenue stream... So if you built a virtual nightclub, you'd have to do a sync for EVERY song played in that virtual nightclub. A real world nightclub just pays a flat fee to something called a PRO (Performance Rights Organization) and the PRO divies out the money to everyone. But since games/apps are usually visual, you need individual syncs for everything, unless a major platform (instagram, tiktok, etc) does a group licensing deal with the labels. No one has done this in games yet (Roblox's deal with the labels is somewhat opaque to me), but when someone does, the surface area for music in games will explode. It's just without a very clear test case that proves the impact, no label on earth is going to happily take less money when they can force syncs. So yeah - if a song you like isn't in a game, it probably fell apart at one of the 15 or so steps above.

@Acai28 Genuinely didn't know this is how music licensing worked with games. If they have to go through that whole process, then it's pretty much a MIRACLE that we can get ANY songs into any game.

@kyzman if they were going to stick to a classic/throwback rock set, I would've preferred a Metallica reskin of the ride, even though I know that's 100% unrealistic 😭

@jake_coasters I wonder if we could see this finally happen with the new Fast and Furious Hollywood Drift ride they're building there. Only problem might be whether or not it'd be open during HHN or not in this format.

When Rip Ride Rockit was announced there was a rumored concept that it would be open as an upcharge Citywalk attraction after the park closed, guests would take the Blue Man Group path to ride. Naturally this would never materialize due to Rockit's issues and it needing more heavy after hour maintenance

Just watched the full Outsiders v WCW match from Bash at the Beach 1996 and man, there will never be a better storyline or time in professional wrestling than the nWo. Magical times.

@fuzzyfromyt Sony 🤝 unreliable network servers (Seriously though why does Sony refuse to invest into their networking infrastructure? I get SDS is just one dev for a huge conglomerate, but it feels like nearly every single time some huge hack happens, Sony is involved somehow.)

Just to put it into perspective… MLB The Show has had severe, week long server issues since before I had 800 subs on YouTube This can’t keep happening. There needs to be a serious investment in new servers and tech tests
