Is reading RSS feeds on your PS3 a good substitute for playing PS5 online?

You forgot to mention the B-52Q flying above (somewhere between the current models and the B-52X at the time of the Enterprise D decommissioning)

Must be from one of those bird species with spotted eggs?

That does actually sound like a fun game.

So the console that has been around for longer and has more units out there in absolute numbers has more games with more than absolute number threshold copies sold than any other console? Is that really surprising?

What about games sold normalized per month and per unit? And how about excluding potentially included titles? And how do you count F2P games that aren’t technically sold?

I am not necessarily saying the Switch isn’t successful, just that these ways of measuring it are strange.

I remember leaving mostly because I realized that I was watching the third generic New England super-natural series where the family moves back to the town the parents (or at least one parent) grew up in, the kids discover something mysterious and then it turns out it is linked to their parents’ past. And they were all so boring I stopped after one or two episodes.

How about checking scripts for decent quality before throwing lots of money at the production of an entire series?

Only in very limited ways if the other two branches of government are complicit since judges (at least the regular kind not on the supreme court which has been captured too) really can’t do anything directly opposing the body of written law.

Most backups are not kept around long enough to still be available 4 years from now and even if they were you would lose any data entered in those 4 years if you restored from backups. Backups will not protect you from deliberate malicious changes.

Hetzner support is usually quite good, something I can’t say of the (albeit much more limited) experiences with OVH.

I do enjoy game mechanics that interact in emergent ways that weren’t fully planned out by the developer in games like Dwarf Fortress.

Yeah, being bought by EA was considered a death sentence to good studios in the 90s already.

Unfortunately that movement has plenty of younger people who might replace Trump.

I wonder how many trillions of floors Diablo 1 had if they had used this weird way of marketing No Man’s Sky uses.

Strangely enough officials of other stake holders never do anything preventative in this area.

What is stopping them from reintroducing those requirements in the future?

Oh, don’t get me wrong. Aldi’s owners still very much got rich off it (they are among the richest people in Germany) so they are not great in that respect either.

They got killed by making it inconvenient to use legally purchased media by adding unskippable trailers, copy protection, things like the Sony rootkit,… and also empty boxes on the shelves with the actual media hidden behind the counter.

Making life harder for people trying to buy your product is never a good idea.

Ask the physical movie and music industries how well that worked out for them.

we have an Aldi (along with 5 other cheaper groceries) and it’s never as busy as the expensive stores.

That might also be related to the fact that Aldi tries to be very efficient with its operation so they might handle more customers but those customers aren’t stuck in the store as long.

Aren’t you so glad you now have Trump in place who essentially said he wants to actively help Israel complete their genocide?

I never understood how they constructed an anti-Kamala argument out of the fact that literally every US politician has an irrationally strong and simplistic anti-Palestine and pro-Israel stance for as long as Israel existed.
