No Sega. Bad Sega. Don’t make me get the spray bottle…

Thank fuck for that.

SE1 is a game I’ve wanted to get into but the awkwardness and requirement to do homework for basically everything has always seen me bouncing off. Hopefully a sequel will iron out those issues. I don’t mind the potential complexity, just make the on-board less of a wall.

The manga and anime market is about to get real dystopian in the west.

Honestly, same. I’m so beyond tired of this “free” stuff Americans like to latch onto, not realising how much is stolen from the average Joe and Josephine before it becomes “free”.

The French aren’t the bastions maintaining rights they seem to be known as. Yes, they’ll throw a tantrum over political changes they don’t like, but late stange capitalism is still pretty bad and the average store is extremely bad for the standard competition that would favour the individual. Any mention of “I can get this cheaper at X.” is known to be followed up with “Cool. Fuck off over there then.” In as many words. Returning a faulty item will see the item getting a rigorous inspection to check that it’s still in pristine condition so it can be put back on the shelf to be sold to the next sucker (this is in the large supermarkets, not just the rare shady mom and pop stores). And electricity bills are double customer usage because the primary electricity supplier is owner by the state so they’re “legally” able to add 3 different taxes and their R&D bill to your bill. The telecoms companies do similar, partaking in that fun practice of adding nothing services to your plan you didn’t ask for and then “making things even” by raising your bill. And don’t get me started on the standard for customer support.

Consumer rights are a joke in France and for all of these death-by-a-thousand-cuts capitalist agenda BS practices, the people of France do nothing.

I’m afraid I don’t have good news…

Nintendo really is the Disney of video games.

Reminds me of a line from a Jim Carrey stand-up. On the subject of that little voice in the back of your head “Turning the vehicle into on-coming traffic would be COUNTERPRODUCTIVE”

Getting the full, but streamlined experience? There’s still a difference between watching a film and playing an interactive film.

Having experienced it personally before now, yup. Very easy.

Way I had it explained to me is it has a good chance of severing the brain stem, supposedly killing you quicker than a hole through multiple parts of your brain matter which is a way some people survive the attempt. Also, suicide by gun is a lot quicker and easier than something like taking a knife to one of your veins, either the “results” way or the “attention” way.

That said, sometimes it’s a moment of none thinking. Some people see a quick out and take it. I was once told an annecdote from a client I met at work about a friend of his who everyone thought was fine right until he was cutting fire wood one day and opted to throw his throat on a running chainsaw. Anyone thinking for more than a couple of seconds realises that’s an extraordinarily horrible way to go out, but sometimes that 1 is all it takes.

Who said you have to?

So long as it’s a ban from the online portion instead of the singleplayer, that’s fine by me. I’ve already lost most of my interest in the next game from them due to their scummy practices so if their next move is to get rid of any true offline component, it’ll complete kill both the game and the company for me. We don’t need another Ubisoft or EA.

My shocked Pikachu face is starting to feel worn out with shit like this. No duh they’re going to milk online again. Obviously, there’s not likely to be singleplayer DLC again, and they’ll likely lie about not being able to add the multiplayer update stuff to singleplayer. Just like last time.

No, but we aren’t exactly going to be mourning either. Almost no-one wants SS to be Arkham canon so it’s no great loss… Aside for the waste of Kevin Conroys last possible contribution to the franchise.

Way too inefficient. Just comment any way about Lemmy and throw in a little #FuckSpez.

That’s my best guess for why two accounts I had got banned on there.

It feels like the correct answer would be “no” but I honestly don’t know enough about Tencent to weigh in.

Where’s my shocked Pikachu face? Now just for these people to learn infinite growth also isn’t sustainable and we might finally be getting somewhere.

You know you can turn it off too, right?
