It’s a good time to be a PC gamer, this is a good move for Square Enix. I really like how even games from decades ago are still playable and very affordable. There’s a big market for quality single player RPGs as evidenced by the success of Baldurs Gate 3 and Persona 5 Royal.

Out of country DNS servers would probably completely circumvent this.

I’m on kbin, not lemmy.

What on earth does this have to do with the patriot act?

It seems like the US government is predicting that the rise of AI will become a national security issue. They’re right.

It’s great for homemade pizza dough, you should try it sometime

Free games in exchange for identity theft. No thanks.

Infinitely reproducible digital media has little inherent value. As the article acknowledges, the value proposition Netflix offered was convenience. If pirate sites offer more convenience than Netflix offers legitimate users, Netflix will lose. I find it baffling they are fucking around with ads and locking down access, making their experience worse. Same with Amazon Prime. It’s like they forgot their own business model.

the Skyrim total conversion mod, Enderal: Forgotten Stories, blew me away, and it’s free if you own Skyrim. Even has its own installer and game page on Steam.

I really hate this usage of the term, Boomer. Words mean things!

Your perspective is distorted, things are incredible and getting better by most metrics.

• The average person today lives better than kings of old.
• We have abundant water, food, and sanitation. In America, food is so subsidized that it is ridiculously cheap by historical standards.
• Your odds of dying to violence or disease have never been lower in all of human history.
• You have all human knowledge at your fingertips, and technology is expected to keep improving our lives in novel ways.
• You can visit any place on Earth in a matter of hours and have access to cheap exotic foreign goods.
• Civil rights are protected a lot more today than they were in many/most civilizations of the past.
• Entertainment is abundant and cheap, and takes forms that people of the past could only dream about.

While we certainly have our challenges to overcome, like climate change, wealth inequality, and social problems, let’s not forget how good we have it.

This is why every programmer needs to understand the modulo operator.

It depends on what kind of character I want to RP; sometimes that’s a dude, sometimes not.

Several stops have been created for ca high speed rail in the valley

It’s happening.

I’m guessing streamers who want to make a video about the terribleness for views are the ones willing to pay so much for this game.

Yeah, I’m not sure what this idiot thought would happen…

Great let’s do it through secular public means, where it can be done at scale, without dogmatic strings attached, and it can cover everyone and not be an ad hoc patchwork that causes some people to fall through the cracks

Grants to faith based charities are just a backdoor for siphoning public funds to religious groups. We already subsidize their absurdity and disinformation via tax breaks.
