What about linking up with the Broken Lizard guys for the "Weedfest" movie they teased in "Beerfest" it could be like the Weed Olympic All-stars. Cheech&Chong, Harold&Kumar, Jay&Silent Bob, Willie Nelson&Snoop ... As the villains. It would kind of nail the "hail Mary" of stoner comedies.

I actually thought about Snoop/Martha as a combo ... But I had to throw willie in there because he's in the Beerfest teaser. So I just went with Snoop. Your idea works too. Hell, they could ALL play the scenery chewing villains against the broken lizard "underdogs" and act like the Germans from the Beerfest movie. "Kids today think they can smoke, well back in MY day..." type stuff

I really hope this gets an answer. I was thinking about a similar situation. If an AI creates something new in a simulation, is that enough to apply for a patent, or do they need to have a tangible sample before it's allowed? If the AI-A creator is allowed to patent the simulation THING without creating a tangible item, then AI-B creator simulates the process to create the item AI-A already stumbled upon as a "new material" ... Who should be awarded the patent? The person that discovered it or the person that discovered how to make it? What about the possible third person who refined the process and ACTUALLY created the tangible thing, because the simulations werent detailed enough in detail to create the tangible item? I just imagine a world where the first 10-ish of the best AI creators/corporations end up running the world in a ShadowRun-esque way and it kind of freaks me out a bit.

This is a concern I have too. Is the patent for the end result or the method to achieve the end result? AI could be used to run simulations for both and automatically file patents in the creators name. Drug/Chemical companies use to do this, stumble across a new solution trying to make something else. Years later, someone finds out that stuff they made accidentally has a use. That one artificial sweetener or the post-it not adhesives are the two examples I think of immediately that were famously accidental use discoveries

Im kind of late to this AMA, but I am installing it on my phone now! Thanks for giving me something to do today! I was wondering if you had any plans to monetize this game (via ads or micro transactions) or if this would be fully f2p? I am looking forward to learning the game, by the way!
