Great if it's a Wukong style actual-videogame-not-slots-machine-disguised-as-game.
But it won't be.
Trump: Many people are committing a crime. I want to stop them all from committing that crime.
US: 43% do not support
Sounds about right.
"There's no threat to white race/culture, but by trying to protect it you're preventing a more equitable world"
So, there's no threat, but protecting against a threat is preventing something from happening. Hmm.
Oh wow, it's Ronon and Sheppard.
Anyway, 'All you need is the spirit' - if anyone who identifies are Irish is Irish, can you tell me what is an Irishman.
Why are we, among all white people, so targeted by Americans for actual unironic cultural appropriation.
The game takes every possible opportunity to remind you that the interracial lesbian couple are a gay lesbian couple who are gay and lesbian by the way.
Some days I think that grouping all non-whites as "people of color" might actually have some basis in reality. This is one of those days.
I'm glad they clarified that it's the brain that gets confused, and not one of the other parts of humanoids that can experience confusion.
People who answer survey questions likely to give the socially acceptable answer, survey finds.
I skimmed the EU study on piracy recently (the video game kind not the boat kind), and a not insignificant part of it was determining how much of the survey results they collected were lies.
I wonder if this survey did the same.
It is, they can't do anything to your games.
They could shut off your access to their servers to redownload the games.
Here's your code:
- Stop localizing, go back to translating.
Don't have to find compatible sub file
Subs are built in on downloaded files just like on streams?
don't have to look for quality
That's true with streams as there is no quality to be found, torrents are clearly labelled as to which aren't shit though
don't have to worry about hardcoded subs
Hardcoded subs haven't been a thing in decades
viruses
You're downloading video files
time it would take to download
Streams download at approx 1x, literally any other method is faster
watch the first episode to see if you like it
Just prioritize the first episode?
reading people's reactions to episode
Literally what the comments on torrent sites are for
Is this some kind of bizarro troll post I've fallen for?
Makes fun of people pushing their values via videogames, then advertises games that push their values.
Intredasting.
Exactly, for some reason the article is written as if the consoles have suffered a hardware failure or something.
"the situation raises awkward questions about the future prospects of console hardware reliant on an internet connection to fully function" - it actually doesn't though? Things that require online services do in fact require those online services. Wow, shocker. Ultimately, what the console can do while offline is all the console itself is really able to do.
Speaking of Linux, this is also why I'm leery of package managers and looking into ways to archive installed packages before I'd even consider switching.
Why should some third party company have any sort of control over the games I bought on steam?
Why should steam have any control over games you bought on steam? If I buy a physical game off amazon I don't have to sign in to my amazon account to use it. Same goes for GoG.
Steam got started by pulling the exact same shit as this with HL2. So, while I agree that requiring two accounts is even dumber than requiring one, complaining about this while buying the game on steam is moronic.
We need to return to monke. An awful lot of content on Youtube could be presented in a written format instead, as it used to be. Easily self-hosted.
This uh... this face... there's something... "wrong" with it.
We get and agree that they're not actively spying on (most) people.
The one moment of sanity in this whatever this is.
This new feature requires new hardware in your PC because it moves the processing out of their cloud and onto your local system. But this is somehow actually a move to make spying easier because... your government listens in on a public network?
Future versions of windows will be just like the previous versions. A whole lot of hysteria, followed by the release of a simple tool to turn off all the new crap they added, so that it continues to look and act like windows 7.
People who think this means windows is spying on them are going to lose their minds when they realize that Teams, another Microsoft product, can record everything you camera sees and your microphone hears and has existed for years.
Checking wikipedia, if you disregard handhelds, PS4 is the second best selling games console of all time, and is still selling.
PS5 is struggling (compared to previous gens) for various reasons, but has obliterated the XBox.
It's amazing isn't it, how people will rally to such a degree to change the least bad thing about the game, but ignore everything else wrong with it.
Gamers rise up etc.
Windows is pushing towards a model where it is dependent on an external server when the OS is installing. It may never fully get there, since people will always want to join windows machines to domains, which is the one bypass that still works.
Linux long ago switched to a model where it is dependent on an external server every time you install anything (package managers). From what I've seen, if you ask for help on actually installing something yourself you'll usually get told to use a package manager instead.
Of course you can always compile from source and manually resolve dependencies on Linux, but that feels like a lot more work that bypassing some account creation. So, for me, Windows actually feels like the better option for a system actually under your control.
You know who can? Steam
The biggest DRM platform currently in existence, arguably responsible for popularizing digital distribution and consequently all but ending the ability to actually own games on PC?
I mean, Steam is certainly one of the lesser evils out there, but I can never understand how they are brought up in a positive light in conversations about games preservation.
Digital ownership doesn't really exist, I guess.
Of course it does, courtesy of GOG and similar.
I don't know why people are repeatedly surprised that they don't control a game that only exists in digital form on a platform they don't control.
You're supposed to not want it, otherwise it won't demoralize you.
