As someone who moves filing cabinets a fair bit for my job, this is actually super common, I see it all the time

Hell, the Dead Kennedys shouldn’t even be up there, after Jello left

Idk I quit after God Emperor, too, that kind of felt like the end of things to me. The book after just wasn’t interesting anymore

That just means we have to tax him more

They’re literally making new jet set radio and crazy taxi games right now though

The thing that killed it for me is that the touch pads were just terrible as replacements for the dpad and right analog stick

If you set a fire or otherwise intentionally cause your home to be burned down, then no insurance would not cover that. However in this case it is arson committed against the owner of the property, which is absolutely covered by insurance.

No it’s not

Yeah but do you think people will pay $350 up front for a video game?

So do you think people would happily pay possibly hundreds of dollars upfront to play an MMO to “account for server costs”? Players have to pay extra no matter what, if the customer isn’t paying for the server costs who is? You also have to keep in mind that WoW expansions are massive compared to most OSRS updates and are released on a fairly short schedule, that kind of dev cycle takes a lot of money to maintain.

Yeah that’s not how online games work though. Servers cost money, probably way more than you would expect, which is why online games used to use monthly subscriptions until people decided they didn’t like that so they moved to free-to-play with micro transactions instead. Guild Wars 2 is a good example of how an MMO can be run without needing a monthly sub by making everyone by each individual expansion, in the beginning you even had to buy the content for each story patch but the newer patch content is free with the expansion afaik. Online games don’t have to be predatory with their pricing but they do need to make a lot of money to keep the lights on.

Actually she isn’t getting your real name through Steam, it was pulling the name you had for your user profile on your OS afaik. There’s several other games that have done something similar, it’s not very hard at all for a program to pull that information.

Because it is developed by people whose understanding of “art” is “how closely can it imitate reality” because they lack any creativity

Yeah, it is why Godot has become so popular because this is from years ago lol

I’m pretty sure those games have licenses, this lawsuit is saying valve needs a separate license to distribute those games

No, this is the person they want

Veritasium partnered up with a private equity firm around the time his videos became far more sensationalist and I don’t think that’s a coincidence. His videos have become far more misleading and willing to stretch the truth for views in the past few years, so I simply stopped watching his stuff and don’t trust his content.

They don’t think it means anything, they don’t stand for anything but hurting people they don’t like, every single other issue is secondary and irrelevant

This is usually the case, since no one has RAM that lies between 16 and 32 GB, they just go up to the next notch if their games uses more. They probably reduced the memory usage by a lot less than the hardware specs imply.
