Han Solo hates snakes?

That’s not an excuse. Anything short of letting you keep all existing behaviour is a failure. It might not quite meet the literal definition of “bricked”, but it’s not much better.

Dang, I had to fact check, but it turns out AoC was just barely old enough to run for president at the last election.

D’ya watch Wololo last weekend? What a tournament!

Though as good as the aoe2 tourney was, I think aoe4 had them beat this time. So exciting and tense, completely unlike the previous aoe4 Wololo.

And if Amazon decided to not give them any more software updates, they’d be fine.

But actively taking away working functionality is inexcusable, even after 100 years. If the device itself is still working, its functionality should not be reduced.

Well you can’t just lead with that and not tell us the whole thing!

Sorry but I don’t trust that infographic. Over 50% in Australia? Try more like 15. If it got Australia so badly wrong, how accurate are other countries?

Big shock.

Walking more popular when walking convenient and comfortable. But seriously, stories about this are important, because councils clearly do need some imports to start doing better.

I’ve had two PCs over this time period. One came with a pirated copy of Windows (bought overseas) and I later installed a legit copy with my uni’s licence. The other I transferred that same licence across to after building the PC myself.

Zionists are a subset of antisemites.

I haven’t played the game, but it really sounds like you’re taking it way too seriously. Methinks you need to chill.

I wouldn’t have described it as a golden era. More like a constant, steady, quiet sense of improvement.

I’m talking about the whole period of like 2010 to about 2018.

A decade ago things were looking really positive for the future of Mac gaming. It felt like more and more games were coming out supporting it. I’m not sure if their transition away from Intel has hindered it, or if it’s something else, but it definitely seems to have stalled.

Plus, the move to Apple Silicon has killed the back-up option of Bootcamp. Or I assume it has, I’ve not been a Mac user since before the transition, when my ageing MBP died and I just found I didn’t need any laptop to replace it.

paying Microsoft for an operating system

To be fair, I haven’t paid Microsoft for my OS…ever. And it’s not even piracy.

I got a licence for free through my university when I was in uni. And Microsoft seemed happy to let me keep using it and even upgrading it. I started on Windows 8, upgraded for free to Windows 10. If my PC didn’t have a processor that seemingly arbitrarily they decided can’t run Windows 11, I could be on that today.

Being anticompetitive is far from the only way a company can be shitty.

Steam had to be sued by the Australian government into following the law regarding refunds for faulty products.

They have always been at the forefront of shitty gambling mechanics in video games, with their random loot boxes and tradeable skins.

And until recently, the hyper-consumerist FOKO-inducing structure of Steam sales was pretty awful.

Eh, “piracy and not discussing it publicly” is pretty much how I watch most shows. Especially since I quit Reddit. It’s not much of an extra step.

Piracy and staying away from popular public spaces to discuss it. Discuss it in private with your friends who know to pirate it. But if you’re on the show’s subreddit, you’re helping bring attention to a wider audience, which helps the show.

Funhole isn’t exactly hidden but you might not see it if your instance isn’t federated to it.

Not only have I not seen it, I can’t even find it when I go looking for it.
