It sounds to me like you are talking about what Steam is doing, with the geolocking and refunds (not fraud), while the other person is talking about what Sony is doing, with adding PSN requirements after the fact (maybe fraud?).

I’ve been thinking it’s just a rebranding of the idea of karma, which is old as dirt. “The Law of Attraction” is just the way I’ve seen it discussed online in its most recent manifestation (pun intended)

To all the people downvoting: “Law of Attraction” is not a lay person’s way of saying “Law of Gravity”.

It’s the belief online that “if I give off good vibes, good vibes will be attracted back to me. You know, because everything is, like, made up of vibrating strings, and stuff” (that last bit is just the connection to String theory OP mentioned)

OP is not endorsing these beliefs, just observing them.

It’s the tea party. T = tea

Sorry, anime is “Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End”, if you’re interested. Frieren is the elf.

Girl on the left is an elf from an anime. “Soon” for her may be… A decade or so? No time at all, really

Ah, I didn’t realize it was your own post. Extra thanks for sharing then. I imagine it could be rather nerve-wracking.

Honestly, not sure if I find this wholesome so much as a little sad. But not sad in a tearful way, or in a “aw, poor thing” way. More… The way a rainy day can be sad? Or how nostalgia feels, even though they’re not being nostalgic? It feels very raw, regardless, maybe even a little invasive, like getting a short glimpse into a person’s soul, and a person who has not had an easy life, at that… I’m glad I read it though, so thanks for sharing

We’d probably end up with a situation where wild deer don’t have the gene and city deer do, excepting any cross-breeding.

Ah, missed that. Yeah, I see where you’re coming from.

I feel a little bad for such a short response, but fair enough. Good points all around.

Sorry, American here. Did WW3 start and I missed it? Is it Ukraine/Russia? Israel/Palestine? Horrible though they are, they seem pretty contained this far, unless something new happened I haven’t seen anything about.

The Milky Way is spinning. It’s spinning wrong based on the stuff we see. So, scientists think there must be stuff we can’t see making it spin that way. Some scientists have drawn a picture of what it would look like if we could see the stuff.

Saving this for later, as I want to hear responses as well.

Dang… Wild to see how Pokemon have changed since prehistoric times… I never knew Blatoise used to have more cannons. I guess their Mega Evolution makes even more sense now, and it’ll probably end up being permanent eventually.

For a minute I mixed up Gary Bowser and Doug Bowser, and was left wondering what beef the president of Nintendo of America could have with Nintendo as a whole :P

Oh, shoot. House House were the people behind Untitled Goose Game? Suddenly I’m a little more interested in this, honestly

At some point Japanese video game titles just start to feel like the Asian equivalent of all those Chinese tattoos that white people get that just say something like “Hot Waterfall Oven”…

Update: Just tried with my Nintendo Switch Pro controller. It works, so the support is there, but it was a little janky. Button mapping didn’t show the button names, just “?”, but an Xbox or Playstation controller may work better. Movement was also janky, but that’s probably because I was using Bluetooth.

No idea. I’ve never used a controller on mobile for anything, sorry :(
