For the record, I’m not saying I agree with their methods, but I don’t think it’s fair to them either that everyone is acting like they did irreparable harm to the monument.

“The orange cornflour we used to create an eye-catching spectacle will soon wash away with the rain…"

How does that help?

We’re talking about it

“The orange cornflour we used to create an eye-catching spectacle will soon wash away with the rain…"

Just like the Mona Lisa incident - they aren’t doing irreparable harm to the monument. It definitely gets the discussion going, which feels like their ultimate goal.

I’ve been a PC gamer for 3 decades. Most budget conscious PC gamers I know upgrade individual components as needed. Done this way, you can easily get more for your money than having to buy a new console every cycle.

I think he’s talking about the next Mass Effect game.

Good. I hope more forced live service games flop so execs will get it in their heads it’s ok not to make a live service game and still make money from it.

That’s the point though, right? It’s all publicity. They don’t want to give it to someone who may actually use it. Give it to the billionaire who will never use it so.

Do they think they’ll get more back from selling people’s data than they’ll have lost in sales?

Yes

I don’t know about PS2 HDMI, but they do make composite to HDMI converters

To the top with you! I see some opinions quoted, but yours is the right answer.

and in a stunning failure of corporate communication

This is my main takeaway from this situation. Seems like the casino knew it was getting a deal too good to be true and CF went straight to strong arm tactics instead of inviting the other side to the table to discuss the issue and find a way forward that’s good for both parties.

I hope/choose to believe that the reason we’re here is that those leading the charge in our justice system knew they not only had to have an airtight case, but it also had to slowly tear him down and erode his support.

There are plenty of leaders throughout history who were exiled, deposed, or voted out only to come back stronger than ever. By taking an extremely methodical approach to all of the legal challenges against Trump, they’ve forced him to spend the majority of his time, energy, and money on those battles.

As always, time will tell…

I’m ok with how Valve is doing things right now. If they followed the same path of EA, Blizzard, and every other big developer from the 90s/00s we’d be on HL5, L4D9 Left for Deadest, TF 3 but it’s a live service on season 15 and constant price increases on the season passes.

Let them experiment and dip their toes into new game types.

It’s the enshitification taking hold, which is essentially Wall Street pressing their thumbs on creators to squeeze out every bit of money they can.

There are diamonds out there though, and not a surprise they always come from private or indie companies. These are the games I’ve gravitated to.

They do indeed have more protein. The conclusion that it’s for them to fall slower seems to be just a hypothesis

Video game addiction ironically doesn’t affect the teenager.

The keepsakes having art placeholders confuses me. Why didn’t they just reuse the keepsake art from the first one?
