Well, if Facebook can do it and get away with it, everyone can and should, right?

Corpos engaging in shady behaviour? Never would have seen that coming.

Or maybe they’re yellow with fear

Considering I remember the news hitting that the anti-terrorism task force knew about the Manchester attack at the Ariana Grande concert in advance and did nothing about it, that tracks.

It’s truly heartwarming to see police using limited resources to tackle the hard-hitting crime of the day. /s

The fact that governments are so hellbent on having backdoors to encrypted communications should be telling…

Most likely fuel stations will retreat to outside of city borders, and obviously a lot being shut down and even more people being laid off along the way. It’ll happen slowly but there’ll be three or four local ones suddenly disappearing practically overnight, the last few being the ones clinging on for dear life due to having no better options until the inevitable closure.

That game was AAAAwful

Then enjoy a full 0% of my money, Sony. I’m not buying your overpriced console.

Oh shit. No idea how I managed it, but my comment was supposed to be a response to the original post, not your comment. I didn’t bother looking at the context the last time I responded to you so I didn’t notice. Sorry about that.

Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC. It’s the long term support version of W10. It’s made for company so it receives minimum updates and is set to receive updates until 2032, if memory serves. With some minor tweaks, it works just like standard Windows 10, allowing you to keep using everything you’re accustomed to without giving in to the telemetry bullshit.

LTSC

Yeah, it all smells of them never having cared about the players in the first place.

Same can be said for any entertainment media in a way. Tiktok (for those people) YT or even films. They’re all ways to spend one’s time, even if they aren’t direct competitors. For those who choose a balanced approached between all of them, there’s really only time left in a person’s day for one or two of these kinds of games, let alone their dwindling funds for everything else that is increasing in price.

I know, I’ve seen it. JM8 already said ages back on Windbreaker that the MMO market is only sustainable for a limited number of games. The amount of games that have flooded the market over the past half decade or so speaks to a fundamental misunderstanding of the market potential.

The pitiable coughs of the GaaS market slowly realising the audience doesn’t have time for 1500 ‘forever games’.

I live in a city. I live 15 miles from where I work and I can drive it in about 20 minutes. If I wanted to take the bus, it’d take 3 hours and just as many changeovers because there’s no direct run. Not even close. I already work long hours so there’s no way in hell I’d spend 6 hours commuting, even if I could. For the record, I couldn’t even if I wanted since my office is nice enough to leave me with only an hour to get home, eat and get to bed before starting all over again. Sadly, it’s one of the failings of public transport even when it does exist.

Always. Fuck Denuvo.

If you’re looking at a group that is requiring their launcher, don’t walk away, run. There are groups doing this that are legit (or as legit as piracy gets) and the only thing you download from them is a txt with a token inside. It’s not bound to your Steam account and yes, it’s specific to games with the dreaded malware baked in. The system these people are using is to simply trick the Denuvo into thinking you’re supposed to have the game.

I don’t like all the Checkpoint Charlie bullshit and got fed up with the side content before the main story was over, but the world in Tsushima was so well made that I had a good time in it - far better than AC: Shadows (that I didn’t pay to play, for the record) - and the combat system was fun. Yotei has a character that isn’t forced into the peg hole of a samurai and has a greater selection of weapons so it looks like it’ll be a fun time.
