Another diversity clusterfuck. No thanks.

The "Pride Demon" halfway through was mildly amusing, though. Did the DEI devs accidentally roll a 20 on a self-awareness check?

Why wouldn't he pardon him when he has already won? Nothing anybody can do about it at that point and his career is over anyway after his presidency because of his age.

Yea, pretty meaningless when his dad can just pardon him.

WotC is pretty much just a DEI puppet at this point: https://company.wizards.com/en/diversity-equity-inclusion

They could just purge all the unproductives, the ESG and DEI overhead.

Don't get your hopes up. The same people are still in charge of the EU. German voters still massively vote for their own demise. Von der Leyen is still on top of it all. The same unelected NGOs still control EU courts.The same unelected bureaucrats run things. The EU parliament is still a pseudo-democratic fig leaf that has very little power in the EU.

Absolute best case it'll take decades to change anything.

It's up to the employer or landlord whether they accept felons or not. In Trump's case that would be the voters.

The only thing wrong about that was that it wasn't nearly hard enough.

If anything the "nerd" was abusive.

What actually is Copilot+? Is that just the code name of Windows "12", i.e. everyone has to use it eventually? Or is that some special fork version that nobody is going to use anyway? All these articles are rather vague.

By agreeing to Adobe's terms and using their software you have redistributed works in way that likely violates your license.

Move companies don't have to prove that you actually watched a movie or that whoever downloaded it from you did. The mere act of redistributing it violates copyright law.

I'm curious: what happens with other people's stuff that you've licensed for your work?

Thinks like assets for example. Usually the license says you're allowed to use the assets in derivative work but you're not allowed to redistribute them as is, which this sounds like. Wouldn't that effectively make it illegal to use Adobe for anyone who uses other people's licensed stuff?

Yea, depends on the game. Both are fine. Hell, you can have both in the same game, e.g. hipfire for close range and sights for long range.

It's the leftist way: parasitize successful things because they cannot create any of their own and then ruin them.

I think the last ones were around 2012-13: NFS Most Wanted, Crysis 3 and maybe Dead Space 3.

I'm from that era, too. Computer CRTs were already pretty high res. The limiting factor was mostly the terrible TV signal and crappy DVD rips in Divx compression.

Like old games it's nostalgia that's best left unrevisited because it doesn't stand the test of time IMHO. These days even uncompressed DVDs look kinda sad and I wonder if I should upgrade the few DVDs I have to Blurays or high quality rips, assuming they've remastered that stuff in a higher resolution.

I usually watch on a 30 inch monitor. The difference is pretty significant IMHO. If I were to spend time and storage space on something it would have to be at least 1080p.

That said, I can't really be arsed to torrent high quality rips anymore, so I just watch 720p or 1080 with shitty compression on "totally legit" streaming sites.

On the other hand, I archive video games that I've played and they tend to make movies look tiny im comparison. Although I'm starting to question that too. Am I really ever going to replay them? Probably going to weed out everything but the most memorable ones.

Well, it's EA. Only a matter of time until they "remaster" the 1st one.

Which is owned by EA. So yea, no point in even giving it a second thought, other than to point and laugh at the current year idiocy.

I mean ... she's a pretty good representation of the state ... literally: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1a/Alabama_in_United_States.svg/800px-Alabama_in_United_States.svg.png

The resemblance is uncanny.

Piracy guarantees citizenship! Would you like to know more?

3 Terabyte? That's like 5 movies.

Great idea. Cannon fodder is all these social studies idiots are good for anyway.

Let's hope they wear body cams so we get some entertainment out of it.

I wanna see them try although I really doubt it. People around here in Germany are done with lockdowns and politicians barely got out of having their lies blow up in the mainstream media.

Plus, the economy is already tits up. Another bullshit pandemic would be an accelerationist's wet dream.

As far as I'm concerned this is canon and the only Nu-Velma episode that counts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inJUFqeJehE

That guy going through bargain bin outlet stores showing the mountains of unsold Star Wars merchandise at rock-bottom prices is more entertaining than Star Wars itself these days.
