Not to mention determine which watch list you’d get put on.

True but I dare say it was quickly followed with an “or else”. We do know about Nintendo’s mafia, after all so only offering the nice hand feels very off.

Nintendo decided it was. Nothing else, to my knowledge.

Well yeah, I don’t respect copyright law at all, but with HL, I genuinely liked the product and only bought after reviews and because I wanted it to be seen as a success so a sequel could get greenlit. I voted with my wallet for the product I want to see more of but I find it it a complicated stance when rubbing up against art vs artist.

What about Hogwarts Legacy? I find the game is in an awfully awkward position. I absolutely do not condone Rowling and have divorced her from the franchise as well as almost everything newer than Deathly Hallows from my beloved IP, also hate WB for being corpo scum, but I really liked the groundwork the game laid down so I’d like to see Avalanche Software get a chance to make another game that fixes what the first got wrong while building on what it got right.

Without demolishing copyright laws, we have to give money to WB and some unknown percentage to the witch to get the game we want and I, personally, think we HP fans deserve a genuinely good Hogwarts simulator along the lines of HL meets Bully. Sadly, I can’t designate my money to only go to Avalanche.

So in short, can we kill Rowling, WB execs and still get a Hogwarts 2 Electric Boogaloo? Because I like that option. Short of it, pick your annoyingly screwed moral box 😒

Then I’m happy for you and wish you a lovely holiday.

Riiiight. With the conversation all being around the US, I’d assumed your girlfriend was the one in the US. That’s very different then and frankly, bollocks to those in the US. So many of them believe the AoC is 18 nationwide so there opinion really doesn’t belong in the conversation. If your relationship is legal in Romania and your families are happy, I’d wish you two all the luck in the world.

The US is a very big place. I meant specifically since each state has differing laws.

In many instances, such a stipulation is assumed.

No offence, but it doesn’t matter what you believe. I’m not going to accuse you of anything some of these people are, just advise you read up on the age of consent where she is and not you. As an American citizen, she’s under the jurisdiction of the US. There are many states (the majority actually) where the AoC is lower than 18 just make sure she’s in one of them or you could risk being in serious trouble if you ever visited her, even after she’s become a legal adult.

Even most states have the AoC lower than 18. ~60 has it at 17 or lower.

That last part isn’t necessarily true. It’s often seen as a blanket statement that the age of consent in the US is 18 but that’s not true for many states. We don’t know where OP’s girlfriend lives and I’d say it’s entirely for the best he doesn’t, but for all we know she lives in one of the ~30 states where the AoC is 16 or the 6 where it’s 17.

Genuinely wouldn’t surprise me. Time to hoist the sails and borrow us a house, YAAAR 🏴‍☠️

Oh, I know. Just felt like pointing that amidst all the Dr Evil maniacal laughing, they forgot to consider how stupid the plan is.

Drops box on the floor “Certainly sir, right this way…”

So they also wish to stop people being able to find jobs that would enable people to pay for their monopoly, prevent them from access the marketplaces where those same people would have a chance to buy their products? Now who’s hurting potential earnings?

Bet he learned to pronounce that with a hard H very quickly.

Despite having heard the name Siobhan (pronounced Sheh-vaugn), I never saw it written until many years later and in an unrelated circumstance so I assumed it was pronounced “Sigh-Oh-Ban”. Irish names are insanely confusing for anyone who isn’t Irish and I’ll eternally argue there’s no shame in getting one wrong.

On that link. Scroll down to releases and download the Windows .zip file. If you’re not on Windows, you’re going to be learning to build from source.

Things have changed a lot since those days. The recruiter part is still decently accurate but the hoops to jump through are far more plentiful and costly these days, if they’re even open in the first place.
