Land of Double Standards.
Pulling an excerpt from George Carlin: “Politicians hide behind three things in this country: The Flag, The Bible and Children. No child left behind! It wasn’t long ago you were talking about giving children a headstart. Headstart, Left Behind. Someone’s losing fucking ground here.”
I am not one of those children that clutches their pearls for family members to give what they busted their ass for away for free. My father just paid off the mortgage of his home. It is his.
And he paid it for over 25 years as people like us lived in and left it. It is just unearned entitlement for any of us to come to him, demanding or expecting something he earned through hard work.
And it is something generations after his wont understand. You try being 66 years old and enduring the grind for so long to finally have something like a home to yourself. And not have a thought of reluctance of just giving it away.
It is ironic considering how much of a clutch todays generations have with their phones. Does anyone think they are the kind to give a home away when it is paid off? You tell me.
At the end of the conveyer belt, there should be another belt with armchairs on them for the fresh graduates to plop on.
Well, no, because it was designed just to piss all of us off in the past two decades.
Right, Sega. You say as you cannot stop for the life of you, remind everyone about the Sega Genesis and Sonic.
He’s a disgrace to jews.
Even if Microsoft bails out from the console hardware market, they still have dominance from the amount of Windows users who play games on their machines through it.
It’ll be the mail service for the alt-right, I’d imagine.
ProtonMail is enough for me.
Shove that stupid ‘X’ up your ass, Musk.
Awesome.
The day FireFox and UBlock Origin stop working with eachother completely. Might be the day I just uninstall all of my browsers and use my PC more personally than before.
Exactly, it’s absolutely absurd.
Think we ought to just start harassing marketers and anyone involved with advertising.
People don’t want to deal with the heavy costs and load of hosting their own content. That’s unfortunately the sacrifice. Google is big enough to house it all, whereas, we’d probably see content from a creator last for a finite amount of time before they end up having to close up shop or beg for donations.
Good joke, YouTube.
Ah yes, but what about the violation to our time where we’ve had to sit through 30 second ~ 2 minute ads of over-dramatized ways for shitty companies to get us to buy shit we don’t want and subscribe to services we don’t need? What about those violations and those violations happen more frequently than us blocking your ads? The hell with you.
I’m going to say swap Shadowrun Hong Kong for Shadowrun Dragonfall.
Hong Kong felt like the weaker of the trilogy.
I think this comment should be pinned honestly.
VPNs are not required. Instead of egressing on your ISPs network, you’re egressing on someone else’s network. It’s kinda like paying for a second ISP so you can egress your ISP to go encrypted to your other ISP. What does it accomplish other than putting you in another law jurisdiction?
I…what?
How am I paying for another person’s ISP when I’m mooching off of their network to pirate from?
Okay, so the two examples you’ve provided about those VPN services, have nothing to do at all about piracy. One is about cyberstalking and the other was about a child abuse investigation. Those are arguably more serious than piracy in comparison.
At that point do you think you’ll get some form of compensation from the VPN provider?
The fuck are you on?
My argument is that, the purpose of the Autumn and Winter Sales is we’re expected to see staggeringly great deals. That is why so many people have looked forward towards every year with Steam. When you see a game that’s been consistently 20% all year, it’s been released 6 years ago for example and it’s active on the Winter Sale with the same exact price as it had been? It defeats the purpose of being involved in the sale in the first place.
It’s a matter of to each their own as to what game they think is currently having a great deal and that’s factored in whether or not that they have it. I’m seeing deals of games where I admit, are at extremely better price points than when I originally got them for. But I also can say that there are games that are on sale right now, where I remembered getting them at better deals way back when.
I’ve already pointed out that it’s also likely that I’ve been acquiring a majority of the games that I want and that if I partake into this sale, I’d only be spending for the sake of spending which may likely not be worth my expenses.
They really were. Like, in 2015, I paid a total of $153 for like 34 games. It doesn’t sound like a lot, but for the games I wanted that were there? Totally worth it. Like Wolfenstein the Old Blood, Transformers War For/Fall Of Cybertron, Oblivion and Morrowind to mention a few.
I’d rather him die a martyr, a symbol for all to look up to. Rather Luigi than Trump.
