You joke, but Japanese Twitter is full of corpo simps.

The store function in Heroic is just a built-in web browser with the URLs for Epic, GOG, and Amazon Luna hard coded in. Like, there’s a locked URL bar at the top and everything.

Trying to claim this via Heroic on Bazzite throws up a “device not supported” message. This isn’t the first time it’s happened to me, but never with games with actual budgets, so it’s probably some build flag that these shovelware guys neglected or something.

Well, you’re also not the target audience. This is aimed at the people who buy Madden every year, who are already inured to predatory monetization, and so will probably just roll over and take it.

Worse than nothing: El Taco has finally definitively one-upped Obama’s $1.7 billion with this new $300 billion.

They were trying to hide their relationship, though. Any talk of hypothetical Skywalker kids would have raised the question of who the mother would be, which leads straight back to Padme, so Anakin absolutely would not have ever brought the subject up.
