While I agree regulation must be enforced, let’s not forget that if a kid is playing on a phone that has a credit card saved, is enterely their parents’ fault.

And same if the kid has access to the card itself.

Laws to regulate lootboxes are a must, and I believe this kind of products should be treated as gambling. But FFS, it’s your kid, take some responsibility on what they play and what they buy. A 10 years-old can’t open a bank account or a credit card by themselves, so the card is their parents’. You are doing something very wrong as a parent if your kid can dispose of your credit cards unchecked and freely.

He is. Remember that they are not stopping the sales of arms to Israel. These are only “strong words” to appear a little less nazis.

Has zero effect, reason why they crack down so hard on any pro-palestine demonstrators, right? Germany’s defense of Israhell sounds a lot like they really enjoy genocide if it’s a friend doing it.

Ohhhh raytracing is required? Awesome, I can’t play it so I guess I don’t even have a reason to follow it for price drops. Oh well, Selaco’s new campaign act is about to drop, I’ll guess I will give it a rerun instead of playing doom.

How do you get offended by liquorice?

I just ditched spotify completely in favour of a jellyfin private server that works like spotify for me. If I want to get recommendations, listenbrainz gives me a weekly list based on what i listen.

No worries: i am locked out of games using denuvo just because they use denuvo.

Well, the more articulated reviews I read on Steam talk about serious issues on several aspects of the game, even if they are exagerating, the issues they talk about are those that would make me not buy it.

Really sorry for the studio if they end up closing but sadly, we live in an oversaturated market in which, if you are part of a big corpo, it’s always a make or break situation with every single game. Sad state of affairs we are in.

You probably need to re-read the text…

Why yes! Of course it can! But only once.

It’s even worse. All the people who defend the physical editions do it because when servers close, they can still play the game. A game key card is just a glorified digital release. When the servers close, you’ll have a piece of plastic.

Except since in japan you can patent basically everything, the application is much stricter. See how nintendo has patents for “capturing a monster using a ball” and other general stuff.

IIRC, there was a japanese company (capcom, maybe?) that had a patent on showing shadows of the characters when they weren’t visible on screen due to a wall or tree covering them.

So let me guess: netflix and company are raising their prices globally soon. For reasons, right?

Can’t wait to have more reasons to keep using stremio.

Get a steam deck, dive into the indie world and forget about all those issues.

Games at 80$ only affect you if you buy them. There are tons of games under 30 that are good enough to keep you playing without making you poor.

It’s funny tho. Europe has no new tariffs against China or other countries from where the consoles come. Yet, they raise prices for us too. Well, what to say if not fuck you, microsoft and fuck you magastan? I’m not gonna pay for the tariffs an asshole who’s not my president put in place in a country which is not mine.

I have changed brands on several products because I started paying attention to where the product comes from or what’s its parent company. Fortunately, most of my purchases were already from local or national brands, so it hasn’t been too life changing.

However, I am now looking at labels way more than a few months ago.

It is crazy. Reason why I never do it. I can’t find a single good reason to use gift cards instead of money.

And for digital game preorders? That’s even dumber. The publisher is not going to run out of bits, if you purchase after the launch, your digital game will be delivered all the same. But I guess corporate shills need to feel that they are helping the poor multi million corpo…

Fun fact: cucumbers and watermelons are actually part of the same family: the cucurbitaceae.

Obvious reasons.

It’s way easier than this: if the game includes in-game purchases with real money of any type, the game should be +18. That’s all. A kid can’t have a credit card for obvious reasons, I don’t understand why would they have access to a system that asks for one.
