I like GT7 because it lets me decorate cars and add stuff like LEGO pieces.

What? Are people supposed to be upset that you like to do liveries?

Just saying not much else to do. I personally added 20+ liveries to my collection in the last 24 hours. Love the stealth ones. I guess it’s because they were so special in GT5.

Might I invite you on over to the dark side then... https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/board/gt7-car-liveries-livery-editor.459/
Seriously, lots of us probably spend as much time working on liveries and photography as we do racing. I know I do.

ZiggedZag's Round4 Liveries
"Round four" is something my college buddies and I started saying way back in the day. It basically meant "what's next", or "let's do something else". It's stuck with us all these years, and besides being the name of our BBQ team, it's also my de facto race team name. While I'm in no way as...

Fun fact about Legos! They hurt so much to step on because the foot is one of the most sensitive appendages on the human body, and it's also one of the most flexible due to its length and bone structure. Legos on the other hand are small and thanks to their rigid support structure, are very very hard, so when you step on one the brick doesn't change shape at all, but your foot on the other hand does!
Edit - I apologize if that bit of information caused anyone PTSD.

It was kinda meant to be a Toke Jopic to get us throught the update drop. I updated the thread to reflect the correct use of LEGO.
ps. I was so tempted to misspell peices.

Actually, the correct word is "legos" but none of you bother to understand how copyright works and how hard lego has fought to stop lego from becoming synonymous with "construction brick system blocks". Lego is the villain here, as they seemingly tried to stop every one from making construction blocks despite the company starting off as a generic reseller of a system they didn't even invent, but rather were trying to recoup investment on machines that could create injection molds specifically in the shape of generic building bricks. They have lost every court case in the west, from Canada, The Us, to the UK and EU. Lego does not want you to say " legos" because that add's more credence to the argument to the fact the word legos have pretty much become synonymous with building block toys because legos are generic as can be. If I dump a box of mega blocks out and the cheap **** they sell at the dollar store, you will say " that's a lot of legos on my floor", or if you are trying to be snobby " lego".
It just makes me laugh how seemingly educated people parrot corporate talking points. It's legos, and no corporation can tell me otherwise because they are desperately trying to cling to the fact they somehow own construction blocks or the name, tough **** when you yourself are a copycat.

And I quote " Proper Use of the LEGO Trademark on a Web Site
If the LEGO trademark is used at all, it should always be used as an adjective, not as a noun. For example, say “MODELS BUILT OF LEGO BRICKS”. Never say “MODELS BUILT OF LEGOs”. "
In short, keep shilling for corporations, I'm sure you will be handsomely rewarded someday! /s

Brands do try hard to prevent what's known as "genericide", which is when their trademarked name becomes a generic term.Actually, the correct word is "legos" but none of you bother to understand how copyright works and how hard lego has fought to stop lego from becoming synonymous with "construction brick system blocks".

Nintendo fought for this in the 90s:
Velcro tried to make a viral video about it, I guess:
(Do I need to provide a warning for censored swears on this site?)
Coca-Cola has a history of suing people over it, because "coke" has become a generic term for soda in many places, and some businesses have used it that way and got in trouble.
Here's a whole list. You might just learn some terms you use regularly are actually trademarked!
List of generic and genericized trademarks - Wikipedia
Genericide is such a fine line to these companies. Popularity of the name is great for them, but if it becomes too popular it becomes a generic term.
So what's the harm in it? To everyone but them, there is none. Think of velcro. You most certainly call it velcro if you speak English. But if you were to search for "velcro" online for example, you're going to find their brand. That's what they want to hold onto. They own that super well known term for it. That's harmful to other companies making
So call it velcro. Unless you're selling hook and loop, they can't hurt you. Call your soda coke if you'd like. Call your plastic bricks legos.
It's not like it hurts anyone but the potential profits of a few CEOs... and I'm sure they'll be just fine.

You missed one - Google don't want people to use "google" as a generic search term i.e "I just googled something"
Google wants people to stop googling
Company wants to protect its brand by cracking down on the use of "google" as a generic verb for searching the Internet.

That wiki list has some things I don't agree with such as transformers. But yeah in Latin America " Nintendo" literally means videogame . " le gusta jugar nintendo" = " He likes to play videogames " .
Some are very interesting though, good read!
