I started playing NMS a while back, but I had zero clue what I needed to do. I guess I need to go back and check if I skipped a tutorial.

How will that work exactly? Do you carry your TANs or secure token around all the time?

Also, nobody is forcing anybody to play a game. Every gamer already chooses to not play most of the games that exist. What’s one more?

The cruelty is the point.

I once took an in-country flight in Germany and we taxied so long that I was looking for highway exit signs because we were clearly driving instead of flying.

I don’t think anybody was required to do anything. If Ledger doesn’t want to do it for any reason, that’s fine. I’m not arguing you have to joke about everything. The comment I replied to said that you shouldn’t joke about a tragedy and that’s something I disagree with.

I think it’s fine to make fun of everything, including tragedies. And especially made up tragedies, like a movie. It depends on the intent of the joke. Whether you find it funny or not is subjective anyway. There are good jokes about the holocaust, so I don’t see why there can’t be good jokes about a movie. Now, whether the particular joke they were asked to do was good, that I don’t know. But in principle I think you can make jokes about everything.

A modern classic!

I don’t have high hopes for it to be actually useful. They already have Kotlin, which feels like a playground for language designers.

Congenital hearing defect is why I use subtitles.

Do kids these days know what a CD is and have a computer with a disk drive? And even if they did, would they care enough to try it? Sounds very unlikely.

Aren’t we beyond accusations now? He confirmed it again and again and again.

You know what would help even more? Eating other people’s kids.

Then technically I am correct? If Valve just shuts down, it’s all gone. You might find a workaround for some of the stuff you happen to have downloaded right now, but in general, everything you “bought” is gone.

If gaben decides tomorrow to shut it all down, everything is gone. They might have a lot of good will based on past behavior, but in the end it’s still a company and you have zero control over what they do. You don’t actually own any of those games.

I backed it right there in the beginning. I don’t even have access to my account anymore and I stopped caring. Star Citizen will always live in infamy, as this bizarre project that turned into some cult-like abomination and will just run ad infinitum until either the money runs out or the sun swallows earth.

I’ve been using Linux since 1995, but had an on-again-off-again relationship with it for a while, because I wanted to play games. So it was usually dual boot. But in 2007 I bought a PS3 and have been gaming on PlayStation exclusively since then, which allowed me to go fulltime Linux. I also worked a lot with OpenBSD and still miss pf, which is such a lovely firewall. iptables is horrible shit compared to it (I am aware of nftables, but it’s too new to replace the long years of iptables).

I actually like the movie. It made the best out of the book, which is meh at best.
