Hey, weird idea but stay with me: A fat orc wearing orange warpaint, slightly demented, always slightly tilting forward, occasionally shitting himself, as the main villain.

Sorry to hear that.

I liked the “Trails” games a lot. “Trails in the Sky” (the first installment) has remakes in more modern graphics if that’s important to you.

and they’re used to subsidize lower prices

Nothing is subsidized here (in the sense that Sony could not offer those lower prices to other people if some didn’t pay more ). If that were true, Sony would still make more money if they just didn’t make these lower priced sales. No corporation will do that, unless they are amazon and want to buy market share.

This means, Sony could offer the lower price to everyone and still make a profit. They are just trying to squeeze everybody for the highest amount they can get away with.

Amaze!

This only works up to a point. Many loving parents will say their kids need to make their own experiences, but they will still keep them from sticking their hand into a power outlet. I wouldn’t say the kid’s choices have no meaning because of this.

Also, if this is true, God also gave us our murderous instincts that make us use our “free will” in this way.

What does it mean? To me it’s like words pulled randomly out of a hat. (i.e. the emperor has no clothes on.)

7, for sure. House doesn’t want to talk, I don’t want to talk, we’re cool.

Wait, Steve died?

“Don’t be evil”.

It was fine until monday or so.

Doesn’t fix it for me. It was already set to android, I tried switching to apple and back, it only changes the look of the menu, not the positioning.

I prefer to take the risk of a compromised vendor over all the things google will 100% do with my payment data.

My bank uses an app as 2FA for online credit card payments. Without this app I couldn’t use my cc for online shopping.

Erm … no. Microslop is not responsble for viruses on your PC.

How do you know that your OS installation doesn’t include malware?

How do I know that when I do online banking through a browser on a Linux or Winslop PC? Yet somehow I can just log in on those with my credentials and be done with it. (And please dom’t give them ideas.)

Does one exist?

The reason is rich people.

Which programmer, game designer, graphics designer, voice actor, musician or what have you is paid how much more because they added denuvo? After the fact, mind you, so all the contracts and wages were agreed long ago.

Who exactly “wins” anything here?

The dev pays for denuvo licenses an doesn’t gain enough sales to make up for it - lose.

The pirate waits longer to play the game - lose.

The paying customer gets an inferior product - lose.
