The the FF franchise is pretty much the Saints Row of movies. It started out being a grim’ish’ real’ish’ drama and with each successive iteration getting more and more outlandish and disconnected from reality until the entire premise has painted itself into a corner from which it can’t escape.

As far as I am aware Valve is still wholey owned by Gabe and the remainder of Valve’s employees. Unlike a certain other company where 40% of its stock was purchased recently by the Chineses megacorp....

That’s an awful lot of words to say “Well in an industry with EA and Activision leading it, being a horrible company is par for the course, so you don’t have an excuse to complain”, especially when that’s exactly when it’s most important to complain.

Extra Extra! White libertarian male has suddenly discovered that being called bad things is hurtful when it happens to him after spending the past decade calling people bad things because they weren’t white libertarian males! Expects emotional support from all involved.

Really? Tell that to GOG. Or better yet, tell it to EA, or Ubisoft, or Blizzard, or Bethesda, or Activision. All of whom have managed to somehow establish and maintain digital storefronts selling their games during this time of ‘virtual monopoly’ on online PC game sales.

Not at all, I agree Steam needs competition. While I don’t own as many games on GOG as I do on Steam, that’s more due to the age of my Steam account and the amount of time GOG has been around. I’d love to have been able to include Epic into the mix. But I’m not going to as long as they behave the way they are.

When it’s a blatant attempt at exclusivity that has all the hallmarks of only being offered till you have replaced your competition on the throne being bankrolled by a company with that exact history of doing business?

I haven’t ever owned any of the Xbox line of consoles.

Don’t worry, bought the tub of lube off Amazon, it’ll be slippery for a good long while.

Welcome to the nation founded by people who were so uptight they were kicked out of England. There is a reason why we are the only country without a state religion that still managed to pass a Prohibition act.

If it were about convenience, I’d agree. But the reason I’m against the EGS is less about how it directly impacts me and more about how their business practices will shape the future of the industry.

I’m sorry but as an U.S. citizen I refuse to allow anyone use Alex Jones as the yardstick with which to determine if someone is controversial or not. Those examples are on wrong end of the spectrum to be at all useful for comparison. And to put it bluntly, looking at the works of these two it is entirely informed to…

Ah yes, the old “Because we were able to make fun of minorities before and folk didn’t stop us, now that they do the problem must be that they are just overly sensitive and not that we’ve finally moved forward as a society” argument.

Pax is still several weeks away, they didn’t do it at the last minute and expecting a refund for your travel expenses directly from the convention for something as large as PAX because ONE panel was canceled is absurd and demonstrates a complete lack of connection to reality.

And they apologized for the mistake and made the most reasonable offer possible to him that a convention of their size could make for making up for the mistake. Expecting them to refund all of his fan’s expenses, as if he were the only draw for them to be at PAX - is both unrealistic and to put it bluntly, stupid.

Libertarian != liberal. Refusing to support either major political party != apolitical. 

You know, I’m 100% certain that he’s telling the truth here. But here’s the problem with that argument. Birds of a feather flock together, and just because the sort of people he associates with tend to be and garner fanbases of a certain nature doesn’t mean in the slightest that is how everyone is or how everyone…

As of 8/5/19 tip #7 is about how to cast to your Chromecast/GoogleHome devices. The tip indicates that you need to go into the “Audio” menu and select the “Renderer” option to find your device.

On the other hand, given the electronics that’ll be in that case, and the $700 price tag, I expect that thing to do a damn sight better than even the old American Tourister did at protecting it’s contents.

If you are interested in the nanoleaf and how it might work out for use, Loading Ready Run uses them for their “Studio B”. Here’s the video where they renovated it to add the leaves(?). You can also catch them in the background of many of their videos involving Studio B.
