rowdy

Yikes. I’m disengaging now. You’ve baselessly called me a white supremacist, insulted the company in which I keep, put words in my mouth, and downplayed very real threats because the threat isn’t a bomb. It’s clear you can’t be communicated with. See you in another life!

Your bad faith argument will not deter me. You are right, there are other things to worry about. I fear for the women in my life that may no longer have access to the reproductive health care they deserve. I fear for my LGBT friends who may no longer have the rights they deserve. I’ll easily turn a blind eye to something happening a half a world away so the people nearest and dearest to me can continue to exist. I hope for the safety of Palestinians - but I will not cut off my nose to spite my face.

You’re a single-issue voter. That’s fine. But some of us aren’t.

It took everything in my power to not downvote this, but given the thread I gave an upvote instead.

I still check HLTB before starting any play through. My only gripe with it is the average time to beat always seems too low. Like these folks are speed running through it. Or maybe I’m just a slow gamer lol Either way I just add 20% to whatever the listed time is and that typically is accurate enough for me.

“Demilitarize the police”

“There’s a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state. The other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people.” - Commander Adama, Battlestar Galactica

Yes, it’s a quote from a Sci-fi show - but it’s hard to disagree with its reality. Yet there are still those in the US that would like to see the Police become even more “mighty/militarized”. Those people are fascists, and will be until the day comes that these so-called Protectors knock down their door. Only then will they realize, and it’ll be too late.

Oh whoopsie, I didn’t see your opinion police badge.

I am, thanks! I’m willing to bet this is happening in Asia too. Probably not Antarctica though.

I didn’t realize we were in the “very real and true political stories” community. It’s a joke not a Trump Dildo…. Don’t take it so hard.

Ah yes Europe, my favorite singularly governed country.

Ah it’s clear you can’t be communicated with. See you in another life!

A bit hypocritical given you’ve been the one using “coincidence” as a source. What I’m trying to tell you is there is not any documented proof for what you are saying - fuck, maybe you’re right. But you can’t go around spouting “facts” because you find the timing too coincidental. There has been no mention of Epic Games in any court documentation regarding Apple’s violation of DMA.

No that’s the point, it’s not a coincidence. Epic games had nothing to do with the rulings of a foreign government. I’m glad we can agree.

Someone already sent you the link to DMA and you responded with “coincidence”. Your logic has failed you

So your source is just a gut feeling? Back it up

For what it’s worth - I think I agree with you. But your message rambles on and never makes a concise point. That’s most likely why the downvotes. You can always ask a LLM to tidy it up for you next time.

Edit: LLM = Large language model.

Yes but here’s the thing. I bought my iPhone because it’s damn simple. I don’t like spending time on my phone, simple is efficient. I’m envisioning a future where I have a folder full of wallet apps because every debit/credit card institution creates their own. All circumventing the privacy restrictions Apple forces on their AppStore. Truly the consumer has lost in this situation. If I didn’t want to use the AppStore - I would have bought a different phone.

The bastards actually built what looks to be a nice platform. I can’t wait to install a different launcher for every app on my phone!

Thank you, makes perfect sense.

Is someone well versed enough in law to explain why Activision can do this? If the mod requires the software to be purchased and only uses resources present in the owned game - wouldn’t that be fair to use, so long as it’s not sold? Or is this just a case of Activision has the big stick and a small dev team knows they have no shot in fighting Activision’s lawyers without going broke?
