What does my mental state have to do with libre culture memes?

Not according to the original producer. He considers it a spiritual successor. (Link)

That it only comes once a year?

Par for the course for Reddit. Also, fuck spez.

That’s what I’m thinking. Either that, or the pie thrower was someone who was affected by original Enron’s bullshit way back when and wanted some kind of satisfaction.

Hm, okay. I think I understand where @elucubra is coming from now. Thanks for this.

As an RPi 5 owner, I too am interested in this USB-C tomfoolery.

Like, now? No way. I would choose to continue my unborn existence. However, if I could choose a time period, that would be a different story.

I used to not like Funko Pop, but that changes today. I now loathe them.

For a second I thought it said “experimental failure”. Would be more accurate, I think.

Purpose?

The founder’s shady history with OpenFeint, their entire privacy policy and shit like this, take your pick. Wikipedia also has an entire section dedicated to Discord’s controversies. No matter how you look at it, Discord has a great many shortcomings.

7th Generation of consoles (PS3, X360, Wii) was pretty meh. The Wii was cool for a time, but it soon became flooded with shovelware and finding a good game was a chore. The PS3 was lackluster at launch and only got its footing at the tail end of the generation. The X360 had very few exclusives because most of their stuff was available on Windows.

This was also a time when apparently every dev, publisher and their mom operated under the presumption that “brown filter = rEaLiSm”. That, and bloom. Lots and lots of bloom. Good riddance.

Kids don’t think logically about situations, particularly regarding the adults that they lo- shit! How did you do that?!

Fuck if I know.

Dealing with people who have a problem with me, but will refuse to tell me why. Either tell me, so we can discuss it or stop wasting my time. I no longer have the patience with the whole “read between the lines” bullshit.

So, the kid is trying to give her mom an extra 6 days by exploiting the curse. I suppose I should be feeling some profound sadness or something, but instead I’m confused. Isn’t the kid really just prolonging her suffering?

We did. Management agreed. Management told the others. Little to no change, unfortunately. Some of our users are just too stubborn and/or lazy.

The quality of the game isn’t why The Crew makes a good target. It’s because it’s made by Ubisoft, which is based in France. And France has some pretty strict consumer protection laws. Were this, say, EA, which is based in the US, the lawsuit would be a non-starter. In adddition to that, France is a part of EU, which means Ubisoft has to comply with EU law in addition to the aforementioned French laws. So if this goes through, they will have to fight this on at least two fronts. The Crew is also a singleplayer game with an online component, which shouldn’t be necessary for the game to function, but here we are.

So to sum up: the lawsuit is not because people are super passionate for The Crew (though some probably are), but because if you’re going to make an example of a game, your best shot is suing a company which is located in a country with good customer protection laws. The Crew just happened to fit that bill.
