He could end up with a fancy bunker door that leads to an unfinished tunnel.

Add in the cost of interested people who move on when they see “Uses Denuvo DRM” or whatever it says on the steam page.

I’ve got some games on my wishlist just to check back every now and then to see if they’ve removed it yet.

Yeah but on the other hand, if they are pardoned then the 5th doesn’t apply to them and they can face charges for not answering questions.

Wow, the AI models have really improved! If I hadn’t seen the original, the only thing that would have given it away is the unusually long wing on the flag that isn’t the crying stars and stripes.

First one works better. Second one sets off my fake detector but the first one goes under the radar.

Lol only 4 hours given? Sounds like the study runners also didn’t have enough patience to really study this. Or designed the study for the conclusion.

The way I suspect some of them were made: get 10 random people, present the problem to them and ask each person what they think the solution is. Say no to the first 9, then say yes to whatever the 10th person guesses. If they guess something previously guessed, then keep prompting for more information until the solution is so specific even people on the right track will be confused by it.

Also add endless segments where several specific squares of the grid have mandatory items, something prevents you from systematically searching the entire grid, and if you go too far, you die.

It goes even farther than that: games in the 80s didn’t even necessarily have consistent designs that could be trained in the first 30 minutes. Especially the adventure games. They were also perfectly willing to let you lose the game in act 1 but not tell you about it until act 3, where the way they do “tell you” is you don’t have any possible solution for a problem.

Like if you don’t get that delicious pie plus another food source early on, you’ll either die of starvation or the yeti will eat you later in the game.

But if you know what to do, the game becomes trivial.

I believe the new testament also makes it pretty clear that it’s not up to the followers to dole out God’s justice. Something something turn the other cheek and something something let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

Also pretty fucking arrogant to claim to speak on behalf of a diety. And pretty fucking stupid to believe anyone claiming such.

Generals gathered in their masses!

How much they actually fought depended a lot on the prince/duke.

Some led their troops into battle, some directed from the rear and had knights to defend them if the battle went poorly enough that the enemy engaged with them directly (with some fighting to the death from there, others surrendering to be ransomed, and some being killed whether or not the fought or surrendered), others fled as soon as they thought the battle wasn’t going their way (which often caused their side to lose even if it had a chance).

And some had a friend or subordinate lead their army while they maybe led a different army or maybe just chilled in the comfort of whatever castle they were in.

Or they named someone else the governor of a certain area and then left subduing whatever was going on there to them, often just naming the other party the governer if their first candidate sucked (which wasn’t rare, since it was mostly nepotism).

No, it’s older than that. It’s what militant civilizations were based on, this idea that it was fine and normal to go around with your warriors and dominate other groups while doing everything you could to prevent other groups from dominating you.

Just instead of swords and spears being the main arena to determine who dominates who, now there’s a system where words determine who dominates the other in a particular issue and it is enforced by warriors that answers to another neutral (in theory, not always in practice) power.

That’s fair, it’s more of a criticism of the NFL.

Eh, it’s still fake and kinda lame compared to actually performing it.

Personally, I don’t see how this guy’s project hurt them in any way, even if he was making money from it. That’s assuming each copy involved a purchase from them (and if not, that would resolve it IMO).

I disagree with the hate paid mods get, at least in the current economic model. Though even if there was a UBI, I think worthwhile work should be rewarded.

Shareholder call:

While we did see a record low revenue on Jan 25th, we made up for it with record high revenue on Jan 26th. Not only was makeup buying more intense than normal activity, numbers were greatly helped by adding popular product links from the “thank you for your feedback” page, which also gives the executive team things to laugh about.

Anything Mr. Bean.

It’s a stupid argument to begin with. Trademarks should die with the original entitiy that used them. Neither of these companies have anything to do with the original brand but both want to cash in on its recognizability. Both should build their own fucking reputations. I hope they both go broke fighting over this.

If you think gates is a decent person, or that his MS bullshit was the worst he did and he has since calmed down, check out the Behind the Bastards episodes on him. You’ll probably find that MS bs was even worse than you knew about (he was a massive greedy hypocrite, literally an example of someone climbing a ladder and then trying to pull it up behind him), but that shit only scratches the surface.

Is this boycott being pushed by US MAGAs or by their foreign thought leaders?
