They're going to try make paid mods a thing again.

My expectations for a TES game are low by default. They just provide the world, the modders provide the game.

Iirc the slots got you rare pokemon and skills as prizes. Including one exclusive pokemon. So it's actively detrimental since it conditions kids to accept gambling as normal.

I did the same for the piano tbh. I was better at rhythm games than parsing sheet music so I'd practice and memorise pieces on something like Synthesia.

Good. The next step would be taxing and regulating loot box rubbish like casinos. Published and audited odds, fixed payout ratios, etc.

It's like an extra $50 or a few beers for someone to put it together for you.

• You can report people before 24h have passed but the cops may still want you to wait. They do this because they're lazy/don't want to waste time dealing with paranoid folk.
• A gun can be completely silenced when built to do so. Generally using subsonic ammunition and not semi-auto.

Any cashier can scan faster because they don't have unexpected items in the bagging area.

Confused? This has been an ongoing thing for the past 20 years. Ever since the corporate types deduced that a solid ip with pretty graphics got enough people to buy the game to recoup the cost. Sometimes not even the solid ip was needed if the cinematic was good enough.

They don't need Denuvo protection because the Emperor protects.

Does fitgirl do any cracking? I thought she was just a repacker.

It's where you stick things in your penis.

Who goes to Starbucks for the coffee anyway? I goto places like Starbucks for over sugared blended ice drinks.

I've had paper straws turn to mush in my milkshake.

I searched and the only update I can find is that Apple managed to get the gross negligence and fraud by non-disclosure complaints dismissed along with the request for punitive damages. All locked behind a paywall though. Case is Gordoa v. Apple Inc et al, U.S. District Court, Northern District of California, No. 3:22-cv-02900 for anyone that has paid access to legal databases.

Huh, it shows up as black to me.

A glass once in a while isn't going to harm thier development and will teach them that alcohol is to be enjoyed responsibly in moderation. No one is saying get shitfaced with your kids.

James Stephanie Sterling after she started doing the stupid "ad spots" in videos for pogs and other memorabilia. They aren't real ads, but they were so damned obnoxious.

Lucy Pyre after she stopped doing FFXIV videos and went full on brainrotted degenerate.

Right winger: We want to kill all gays.
Left winger: Every human being should be treated with respect.
eNlIgHtEnEd cEnTrIsT: Well maybe some gays should be killed.

They don't. They're a QLD couple that got in trouble for being absolute legends and knocking down their neighbour's drone.

Gravity Rush was great and I'm disappointed no one has done anything similar since.

Also don't forget living at the whim of the manufacturer with regards to backwards compatibility.

I know that feeling. Though I went straight to my steam backlog so I traded one addiction for another.

Pride in katana was during the Edo period when the samurai were relegated to being government officials and they used swords for duelling.

If our unions are considered better, how bad is it over there?

Selfishness

Yeah, I'm just waiting for the Trilogy collection to be released and discounted to $60.

Not if you put nonsense as your security answer too. A lot of people don't realise that those answers should be secondary passwords.

I know Toyota is still ragging on EVs because they invested a lot into hydrogen tech and want that to be the next big thing instead. But I didn't know Honda, Mazda and Suzuki also under-invested.

It's the policy of an entire political party. Remember "War on Your Weekend"?

They started putting in protected bike lanes with shared clearway/parking on the other side in Hobart. That'd be a reasonable compromise no?

Big tobacco are the same people selling those vapes. The bill is going to nip that revenue stream in the bud before it can mature.

It's actually pretty wild how successful it is. All of Walshie's/MONA's previous stunts have only generated local controversy. This one has transcended borders. Most of us here have grown pretty desensitised to Walshie's antics so personally it's quite fun seeing the world get a taste of undiluted Walshie.

Another fun fact, two men actually sued. One dropped the issue after being told the purpose of the art installation and realised he was about to be made a spectacle, the other went full steam ahead.

Depends on how much money the exhibit draws. Iirc the Wall of Vaginas was supposed to be temporary but it's still up as far as I know.

MONA is famous here for doing all sorts of controversial shit. This one time they sacrificed and butchered a cow live on stage. A women's only space is tame and on brand. Everyone's been baited

So are we letting them get away with it or will there be consequences?

Still using one with a jack. Other must haves for me are sd slot and tool less sim tray.

They may not have to maximise profits but the shareholders will question every decision that doesn't maximise profits so the result is the same. That's why activist investors that push companies to more ethical behaviour are important.

That becomes difficult when their homes are now uninsurable. If they can't find a sucker buyer to take it off their hands for enough that they can afford one elsewhere, they're stuck. The govt absolutely needs to step in. If only to save money on disaster relief efforts in future.
