    @Scrobins or maybe @Deadeye

    Does anyone have a way to get in touch with BunnyBoy at RetroUsb? I’ve tried the support@retrousb.com a number of times and no one has answered in months. Trying to see if he’ll will take payment to swap out the chips on my non-working Larry. 

    Try messaging him on Facebook or Twitter.

    If anyone here has a copy of Larry and the Long Look by Khan Games, the RetroUSB version please PM me. I’m looking for a pic of the board so I can make sure the one I have is soldered correctly. 
     

    Thanks!

    Sure thing, I won’t be able to get to it until tomorrow evening or so but I’ll get you that pic when I can

    Stephen Colbert Nerd GIF by The Late Show With Stephen Colbert

    You'll find your fellow nerds in the Homebrew section.  Fun fact, VGS helps get some homebrewer's games published with Mega Cat Studios.  Still a new thing but we are proud and excited about it.

    Oh man this would be so much fun to see happen! FYI, Nat and I are friends IRL and he’s super talented. It would be cool to help publish a game of his.

    For those also interested, he’s a cool author, with a successful Kickstarter under his belt:

    WATA Finally Getting Sued?

    Sorry if my wording was imprecise, but I think what you said is what I was trying to say. The main point is that in the Motion to Dismiss, the judge is likely looking within the complaint. Thus, when Pat says "the judge saw X and Y from Discovery when denying the motion," I believe that would be incorrect, as the judge would be looking solely within the four corners of the Complaint. 

    Am I wrong on that point? 

    Not trying to be snarky, legitimately curious. 

    Like most things in law, it depends. There are circumstances in which a motion of this type could be made after discovery, but the point is that such a motion is a legal rather than a factual argument, since it assumes the truth of all the factual allegations (i.e. best case factual scenario). I think though you’re right, and while having not followed this case, would guess Pat is making bad assumptions about how the legal system works.

    Regarding the lawsuit, something Pat I think got wrong is that in a Motion to Dismiss, a judge is looking solely at the complaint filed and has to take the claims by the plaintiff(s) to be true as a matter of law. Then a judge will say, assuming this is all true as claimed, could a reasonable jury make a finding of X. Surviving a Motion to Dismiss is almost automatic provided the lawyer filing it is competent.

    Discovery does not begin until after a Motion to Dismiss is dealt with. After Discovery, there will usually be a filing for Summary Judgment, and that is the point in time a judge will no longer assume claims are true, but apply evidence from Discovery. So when Pat says "a judge must have seen something in the evidence," I don't believe that can be true, at least at this point in time. Rejecting a Motion to Dismiss predates Discovery, and in fact is what triggers it. 

    Anyway, we'll see what happens. I know covid backed up courts all around the country, so it's taken a long time and probably will continue to do so, but maybe something happens within the next 6 months or so. I believe the next step would be conclusion of Discovery and then the Motion for Summary Judgment. If it survives that, that's when there would be either a trial or settlement. 

    This is not correct or at least confusingly imprecise wording. Claims are a legal term and shouldn’t be conflated with factual allegations. Matters of law refer to how the law is applied.

    While I’m not watching this matter, there are several grounds for filing a motion to dismiss, a prominent one known as a 12(b)(6) motion, referring to the relevant federal rule of civil procedure, claiming the plaintiff fails to state a claim for which relief can be granted. In such a motion, the argument is that even if all the facts are true, there is no legal cause of action justifying the lawsuit.
