Me at 46: I want to dismantle the machinery that makes trillionaires.

Going to court to prove they’re arseholes. Nice.

If you want to stop it, write to your representatives. EULAs do not override local laws.

Probably because you can just modify the OS to say you’re old enough. With a closed source OS you can’t.

In reality it just means you can’t use the OS as age verification, and will have to use other means if you’re into that. Personally I just slap on a VPN and go somewhere that hasn’t succumbed to this idiocy…

Soylent Green is plastic!

This is a Trump administration. It’s basically a requirement of the job.

As fun as that would be, the more plausible explanation is that statcounter is bobbins. Windows has not lost a quarter of it’s users in a year, and certainly not to Apple…

I noticed that during the big egg “crisis” where eggs went up to the price we normally pay in the UK. Turns out they were gobbling them up like fucking Gaston for “protein”. I get through maybe half a dozen in a particularly eggy week…

No mention of fibre though. Their arses must be split asunder.

So if it was restricted and now isn’t, what changed?

Did the grid get safeguards? Did they just tell their workers to watch out? Did they upgrade something? Did they make sure the ones sold in the UK do something different (in which case the dodgy Temu ones probably aren’t going to do that and cause fires)? They certainly didn’t upgrade every home…

I don’t think anybody does detail quite like Rockstar. When I finished Read Dead 2 I just sat through the credits in awe at the sheer amount of effort that had gone into it. Animals skinned while you watch, lines recorded twice for close and far away dialogue, whole hunting and animal systems. Subtle changes in dialogue depending on how you play.

Compare to “AAAA” games like Far Cry Avatar, with an equal number of systems, but none are really fleshed out, and the whole thing feels very half arsed in comparison.

I think the only game to really come close to them is Baldur’s Gate 3.

Yeah, the online stuff is pure fucking greed, but I don’t care for that. I don’t play it. I never loaded GTAO or Red Dead Online. I don’t demand I be allowed to pay extra for more DLC. It’s all in the base game I already bought. I play it, I finish it, it goes on the shelf. Or it went on the shelf. RIP discs, I guess. :(

24:25 she leaves a blood splat on the wall.

Five seconds later it’s gone.

Boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder!

I just can’t shoot pretend cops.

Btw, what night is the wildest party on your kiddy rape island?

I’m waiting for Firestarter to be used to sell me a cremation in 12 easy installments.

Nothing more private than that.

I do think it’s unfortunate that CDPR have hit their biggest successes with their open world games, because I don’t think their world design is up to much. Both this and Cyberpunk suffer from a main quest that screams “this is urgent” followed by opening up a map filled with icons.

And most of those icons are boring bullshit, but there’s enough good stuff out there that you’ll want to explore them anyway, only to be disappointed by a single troll fight or something 90% of the time rather than some interesting story.

Hate how the armour sets have a bonus but you’ll probably never upgrade them far enough to activate it…

From my very sample size, their wireless stuff is trash, but the wired stuff lasts ages. I had a Diamondback for 20 years.

Taking pictures of people is legal.

That said, if you take a 300mm zoom to a children’s playground you can expect to get in a fight.

Fashfluencer.

Still, his far right nutters are keeping Farage from power, so he’s got that going for him.

I don’t think a grenade on a Temu Mavic knock-off is going to go down well with the locals.
