Dunno, seems like a global problem. European car companies are scared too. And they don’t make those big cars.

The only issue I see is that china is very hostile with how it deals with other countries, otherwise this is just the trend of how things work out. In the 80s, it was the japanese car industry.

Even if they changed how would they win?

They’re just too expensive to manufacture as compared to chinese ones.

Reality = immigrants bad because corporate daddy decided they’re the best scapegoats for all the shit they promulgate.

And I accept that reality because it fits my idea of how I look at any one that’s even slightly different and “lesser” than me.

I much rather be the only one well off. Because reality means only helping those who have the same skin color as me. Everyone else can go die.

Yeah, but as far as I can tell there’s hasn’t been malware in fitgirl repacks. So, I suppose I am outsourcing my vetting to them.

It’s really a question of how much effort I want to put in finding a different source that’s not dangerous. The extra time it takes to unpack them is okay then.

GOG games is fine as well, but they don’t have everything and direct downloads aren’t always stable for me.

I trust fitgirl repacks from the official sources.

Direct downloads and other sources need to be vetted.

I think the difference is that - chatgpt is very personified. It’s as if you were talking to a person as compared to searching for something on google. That’s why a headline like this feels off.

I like the aesthetics, what’s this from?

The initiative’s issue isn’t with them being online-only (though personally people hate it). The initiative aims for games to have the ability to have a reasonable state of playability past the end of life.

This is for all kinds of games - single-player, multiple player, live service, only only. The point is to keep what you paid for.

What do you mean?

Changing the design happens during the pre-production. This will not effect any games retroactively. As unfortunate as it is, until the EU parliament decides on a law or regulation all games destined to die will die.

Any games that are grandfathered in, would be done so by the good will of the corporations if they do wish to.

It was supposed to be a joke, but just look at them.

Of course, this isn’t Socio-economics, but RACISM against WHITE people!

• Pay for immigrant childcare with your tax dollar
• Defunding police and giving money to black teen mothers
• giving free handouts to lefties

The world is tough out there cousin brother.

I send hugs and vibes.

A data analyst with an econ degree specialising in econometrics and a political science degree. That’s awesome.

Are you the cousin that my mother foretold about?

Scrumptious?

Interesting.

Let me rephrase: I always believed it had good writing, but lacked interesting enough scifi concepts for me. In my opinion good writing trumps all, but having a interesting hook always makes writing more accessible.

I had already seen the same save the world and interspecies stuff by the time I was concious enough to play mass effect. (I am not that young, but I think mass effect came out in 2007.)

Ahh fair enough, I don’t know enough of the whole story. I take back what I said.

Curious to know why.

Mass effect for me feels like it’s generic scifi, so I can’t get into it and appreciate the writing but KOTR has a star wars flair at least.

I like it, but if there was some back and forth between them, it would feel more real?

Padme backs off after first unknowingly coming on to him (he’s a handsome badass), but then anakin pushes back citing the Jedi code. And when feels the push towards padme, she backs off because - jedi and younger. Basically the same as what you said, but they both want to do it, and they both know it’s wrong on some level.

The palpable tension going back and forth would make it more interesting.

And making him a little older - 21 or something would also make it less creepy yet maintain his naivity.

But I suppose it would be less spicy, if the relationship isn’t lopsided. I guess then it would depend on the direction one would want to take.

Do you want it to be a tale of a young boy being semi-groomed or an equal relationship.

I mean you could already consider padme being disingenuous by wearing such clothes and being “oblivious” to how anakin feels. Maybe she did know and wanted to push him on but without it feeling like she was responsible for any of it.

They have a management problem. Roberts has had a history with badly managing projects especially where his uberambition is unchecked.

They could’ve entirely and easily avoided the forever beta tag if they had released the single player early on (even if it wasn’t perfect), like they had promised and then continued to work on the persistent universe.
