Ah. The Disney defense.

Now I imagine Sam Vimes fighting ICEstapo.

It’s supposed to guarantee you can always catch up with them.

Anything that needlessly makes me repeat content I already beat or similarly wastes my time. Some examples are:

Fixed save points in general.

Unskippable cutscenes between the last fixed save point and the boss fight.

No autosave or fixed save point after a boss fight.

Preventing me from backtracking after I stumbled into a cut scene and/or boss fight because it wasn’t obvious which path led to a point of no return.

Oh, and no Play Station style controller glyphs. Come on, it’s an additional set of images, now hard can it be to implement?

So, am I the only one with terrible performance when booting from USB? Really long input lag, loading times, all that. I figured it wasn’t a big deal for installing once and occasional troubleshooting, but it’s not really representative of the normal experience booting from my ssd.

I don’t.

Clair Obscur was all anybody gaming related talked about for weeks.

Why would they sell any hardware at a loss at all? Console manufacturers do it to lock people into their ecosystem and sell them games at a premium, Valve doesn’t need that, people are already overwhelmingly favoring their store.

Games used to be sold as a physical object containing the game files.

I can do that today too. I can buy from gog, download the installer an burn it to a DVD. I now own a physical object with the game files that gog or the game publisher can not easily take away from me. I’d still just own a license, not the game, and the license can be revoked. They just couldn’t really keep me from playing the game even after it was.

You need to understand the difference between having something in your possession and having the rights to it. You never owned any video game, even in the days of cartridges, they were always licenses.

I’m on a 1080TI and Mint works like a charm.

That one hook on the key hanger is mine, and I will keep moving my GF’s keys to the next one every afternoon until she learns.

Not to be confused with our own weak domestic demand and artificially created oversupply, which is fair and just.

I happen to think it is, and indeed the GDPR sees it the same way. For EU residents. They have to delete your data if you ask them to, no special form requirements.

I may have forgotten my password, they may require additional personal data to let me log in again (which is why my PayPal account is still not deleted) their shitty page might be not loading in my browser of choice, or they recently decided I may not visit it with an ad blocker. It’s just a hoop to jump through to try and make people sigh and just not bother. In OP’s case they want to avoid additional third party tracking on the site, and that’s 100% valid.

If GDPR only protects people with EU passports, then it’s not universal rights - it’s privilege with a privacy logo.

And what do you think would happen if EU tried to enforce their laws in an interaction between two parties that both aren’t in the EU? If we did it, why shouldn’t any other country try and do the same? Better read up on Chinese law before you next do business with a company in, idk, France. Sound good?

It’s not about passports either. Move to Vienna or Prague and you may have better luck.

Apparently they did not delete their account because they don’t want to log in to do that.

Still, they obviously can’t know if the service in question would have treated an EU resident differently.

with half of Poles now believing that state benefits offered to Ukrainian arrivals are too generous.

Ah, so they managed to make you guys believe any state funds not going to refugees could go to you instead too?

Spoiler alert: They won’t.

Hey Merz, I found some welfare tourists you can deport!

You have the most powerful military in the world and basically are your allies’ (former) protective power. There is no outside help coming because (among other reasons of course) nobody is physically able to help you.

About our only actual hope is a MASSIVE switch to nuclear power across the world

Even if it wasn’t the most expensive and second most stupid form of power generation there is, it’d be a 50+ year “solution” (at the very least) for a 10 year problem. Look at the actual current project times for single new reactors, and then factor in every industrial nation trying to build a massive amount of them at the same time competing for a very limited amount of people who know how to do that.

Sadly, finding businesses and traffic data are 99% of the reason I open google maps. I have organic installed, but I’ve since found out that “I want to go somewhere I don’t know the way to but have found out the street address some other way, and I don’t care about the traffic in between” simply doesn’t happen.
