Depends on if you’re Chinese abroad because they do try to exert pressure and have what are almost police in other countries

As a diabetic Blood Sugar Sex Magic is something I can actually offer.

Yes this, the scroll wheel breaking is driving me insane. I’m thinking I’ll not buy anymore mice from them now because it’s happened to every single one

No thanks

Unfortunately I barely have friends

I don’t see that in the text?

I work in tech and I’ve never used AI for any reason ever. Never a question. Never code. My coworkers don’t understand. I’m even required to use it in new and unique ways, and I’m not going to use something I’m going to learn to rely on, especially when my critical thinking is precious to me.

Yeah this couldn’t be more of a bad opinion that doesn’t reflect what is actually happening if it tried. The entire world is racing to create an AI nightmare, and because game theory safety isn’t even happening and some people imagine themselves ushering in the next age of evolution only to find we’ll be turned into paperclips and the intelligence they gave birth to is so misaligned as to follow us perfectly of the cliff holding us in their hand.

I have an exceptionally large game collection that includes even current generation console games - so PS5, Xbox Series and Switch 2.

There are still games on those platforms that are fully playable from the physical media with no download required to ensure it’s playable to completion.

Switch 2 is unfortunately the biggest offender with key cards, but those are easily identifiable. Other consoles I just avoid specific publishers.

No Ubisoft, no Activision-Blizzard, no Bethesda, no Microsoft Game Studios and so on. It’s very possible to find completely on disk playable games, a good example of this is Pragmata and the latest Resident Evil for PS5.

I’m pro physical media, but real physical media, not not key cards, not code in a box, not requiring an always on connection, not full base game but DLC is a code.

I think all games should be able to work in perpetuity without any external validation or activation across it’s entire life.

Hope that clears things up.

I’m struggling to understand what this would achieve as well. They’re objectively more expensive to manufacture.

Sip, se debería usar Pequeña

Okay and Cat Stevens released a song called Afghanistan under the name Yussef Islam effectively in tacit support of what would be understood later as the Taliban.

See, old out of touch musicians are wrong all the time

Where did my Van Goff huh?

Or just silently mining crypto

Yet I see them everywhere

This is outrageous, but what is Tesseract??

This interests me a lot. I want a physical copy though.

FIY US minimum wage is $7.25 for non government contract employees and $2.13 for tipped workers.

Some States have higher minimums, but many do not.

I just play mostly classic games and have a great time
