yeah your empathy is really showing here.

from your comment it seems like you think they deserved to die, and immediately copy pasted your wall of text when someone accused you of racism. not a good look i must say.

telltale’s sam and max games are great it’s shame they are overshadowed by the rest of telltale’s library.

i didn’t even mention he got elected by winning an snap election after murdering the president himself against the reanimated statue of Abraham Lincoln, and the head of this statue later in the franchise impregnates one of the main characters of the series and leads a coordinated strike of huge robots against an eldritch horror, designed as a distraction for the A team containing but not limited to his pregnant wife, a huge cockroach and the monster’s best friend to stop the monster.

it’s a brief summary of the second half of Sam & Max: Save The World.

a sociopathic mammal gets elected as the president of the united states, and through the power of friendship defeats a rainbow cult on the moon by violently murdering its leader.

personally im fine with machine learning, what I don’t like is “AI”, a new marketing buzzword that justifies every shitty corporate exec decision and insane company evaluations.

community servers are fine, and it’s a great game. people were just holding out hope that valve would do something but they didn’t.

there’s no Queen of England though, Titan was just ahead of his time.

heavy. heavy is good. i like heavy. sandvich.

i haven’t played it that much since my ping was atrocious, but i would say no. IIRC beside membership and cosmetics that you can buy with gold, i think you can covert it into silver which you can use to progress faster and even buy gear but you won’t gain an unfair advantage or get something that’s exclusive to the MTX shop.

you should read what experienced players have written if you want a more detailed explanation, im just sort of vaguely familiar with the game.

Albion online seems like a good fit for you, although based on your location your ping will massively vary since they only have a few centralised servers.

for a second i thought they wanted you to change your pronouns to JP/Morgan lol

it could be a plastic meat toy.

they would prefer you use their pirated software rather than using their alternatives. if you aren’t someone that would be paying for it anyway, this is the desirable outcome for them. stick it to them by abandoning their platforms all together.

for context 22 billion is a few billions less than what elon musk overpaid for twitter. i don’t think a bigger collider will do anything but I’d like for humanity to have this rather than whatever the fuck the rich are doing now.

thanks. 32% of malicious traffic is still a lot. the 50% increase in bad traffic in gaming is interesting though.

well nice job ignoring literally everything else i said but alright. my rule of thumb for comparing my purchasing power vs an american is to multiply the product’s value by 15. so you tell me that you wouldn’t feel annoyed if you had to pay 375$/year (ignoring the increased data cap costs that comes with using a VPN of course) for a service that might get blocked at any moment? never mind the scammers that are absolutely littered everywhere.

and the regions that are not supported by PSN probably don’t have regional pricing in steam as well, so we also have to pay that fuck you fee if we want to buy our games legit, unless of course you are willing to risk a ban (which actually isn’t that unlikely) in order to region hop, or get a CD key that was most likely bought with stolen gift card money of scam victims. and steam recently has been cracking down on both region hopping and the price disparity seen between different regions.

yes it’s not the most earth shattering issue on the planet, but at least we get to complain about it online right?

since you didn’t fuck off let me explain.

i don’t play nor care about helldivers 2 but i can certainly emphasize with people that have had their favorite game linking to a service that is blocked/not supported. you either use a free VPN which good luck with shitty connectivity, high packet loss and ping, or use a paid VPN which basically converts all your games into a subscription that is most certainly not affordable for many 3rd world users, and at the end you are still probably dealing with the issues mentioned before since you are adding extra hops in your route. and that’s if you can get your hands on a working VPN which since most companies have their IP addresses known you get forced into shady VPNs automatically.

plus you are massively risking your data since you can’t trust the person at the other end, especially with free VPNs that could be loaded with viruses and spyware. in addition in most cases using a VPN can and will trigger false bot flags, causing either a temporary block or worse a ban, not to mention lying about your region when creating an account is in most cases is against TOS (although it’s unlikely you get banned for it).

for example i wanted to play titanfall 2 when it came out but couldn’t due to it being linked to EA account system which is definitely blocked here. never bothered with the official Ultima Online because EA. wanna play the free copy of GTA V? can’t download shit off Epic Games. wanna play any games made by Riot? you better get that DNS service ready cause otherwise you can’t get in. wanna update warframe? too bad the CDN service they use blocks your region (this was a long time ago i remember being pissed off about it).

so stop being an asshole online. we deserve to play games like other people without resorting to hacks in order to have a worse experience that was forced upon us. even ignoring all of my rant this decision is still against privacy of most users by handing their data over to yet another big company. i cannot imagine what would compel someone to make an ass out of themselves to call people that are against this cry babies.
