I respect that

I have not played that one

I think it’s even more in your face about it than Disco tbh

The parallels to 20th century politics make it borderline political satire (ala Animal Farm) in spots. I enjoyed it regardless though, but it wasn’t what I was expecting

Deserves a mention, but gosh was it a bit heavy handed on the politics stuff. Was not expecting that for a fantasy setting.

I wonder what the overlap is between people interested in self hosting computer services and people who are interested enough in fashion to want to catalog their clothing in an app. I’m in bubble A and not bubble B, but it feels like cataloging stuff you put in your fridge so you can make recipes instead of just looking in the fridge.

Intention matters a lot. If it’s incidental to the scene and not people intentionally emptying garbage cans on the floor for no reason I’m sure it’s fine?

Mindfulness

A deal was made about it, but I don’t think it was a big one. Most people just rolled their eyes and moved on. It was stereotypical slow news week material for Fox News.

The song has a verse about it being at the bottom of the ocean even. Are there people missing this?

I didn’t care for the art style of Bloodstained

It sounded like a villain saying that, having villains behave in a disrespectful manner seems okay to me?

Check the lawsuits section

Those are more like conversations than actually reading a book. They’re also very short with immediate payoff. Sounds like some unbalanced brain chemistry around delayed gratification - do you have problems with that in other parts of your life? If so it could be ADHD.

Asbestos is fine as long as you’re not inhaling it. The dangerous part would be removing/replacing it because it can kick up a lot of particles in the air. If you just leave it sitting there it should be fine.

That would be weird in a Korean game

What? No?

It sounds like you’re talking about how the US forth amendment applies to unreasonable searches of your home. Generally courts apply a concept known as curtilage that establishes the boundary of your home that they can’t violate improperly. Having records of what was sent and received to your home doesn’t require them to violate the curtilage so the forth amendment would not apply.

It’s also not an angle used in past dmca download court cases afaik.

I am not a lawyer

Netflix would probably claim that consumers are getting more value due to increased original programming versus a decade ago. Also blaming inflation.

I played the first one of the series but bounced off it pretty quickly. Seems there are a lot of these now. Are they visual novels or something?

They probably need to sell over 14 million copies at full price to break even with that bonus. The math is very bad for them. That’s not impossible, but it would make it one of the best selling games of all time (top 50)
