The official take is that Keanu gets to say what situations Keanu gets put into.

If they made the tutorials optional (remember how you'd get a message the first time you picked up a type of rupee, every session?) and fixed the motion controls so that they actually work, I might be tempted myself.

I’ll never forget being at an office party and having to help a drunk co-worker who we’ll call Mark get home. Another co-worker who we’ll call John helped too. We both got him all the way to his sofa.

I genuinely don’t understand why they don’t do this. It seems like a minor enough investment to simply port an emulator version of the games in a collection on the major platforms, with at LEAST a big enough return that it won’t lose money. And yet they don’t do it. Are they trying to cultivate scarcity? Is there a…

Of those, Capcom would get my vote but honestly I’d actually be kinda interested to see a CDPR take on Castlevania. Obviously I’m aware that Poland and Romania are two different countries but I’m sure there’d be more cultural synergy with Poland than with Japan.

Castlevania is set in a fictional version of Earth so that would be difficult crossing it over with Zelda in Hyrule, aside from multiverse shenanigans which are getting to be a bit old hat at this point and not exciting from a fan POV

Those guys are big names but they’re not big money. Kojima, for instance, cannot afford whatever Konami’s gonna charge for the MGS IP.

Short-selling should be fucking illegal. 

People like Left were just gaming it in the other direction. Shorting a stock before intentionally trying to crash the stock is not how stocks should work and there should be a law against it.

I’m surprised nobody has him accepting petitions on this, the day of his daughter’s wedding

My point exactly.

Each US state has its own capital. Has its own constitution. Has its own legislature, usually bicameral except for Nebraska. Has its own governor and its own state police. Has its own laws. As you correctly note, they are not sovereign, as sovereignty belongs to the Federal US government.

This only applies to geoblocking within the EU which is very much our prerogative to legislate for. Anyone who doesn't want to obey EU laws within the EU is more than welcome to not do business in the EU. I'm sure Epic will be happy to fill the gap.

Until the Epic Game Store, GOG etc all offer the same games at the lower price and force Steam to come down.

The EU is essentially a proto-USA. For “EU member nation” read “US state” and you see the correlation.

This explains a lot but I will still say that even if most of the protesters didn’t have a specific plan and got swept up in the exhilaration of the moment, they were still screaming shit like “heads on pikes!” and “hang Mike Pence!” and beating a cop to death with a flag etc.

I still don’t get that Blurred Lines judgement. It sounded almost nothing alike. It’d be like The Police suing Bruno Mars for making Locked Out of Heaven sound too much like Message in a Bottle or “like a song they might write”; sure, they’re similar, but you can’t copyright a general vibe.

“Accidentally”

It’s nice to see Undead Goblin Slayer teaching Link everything he knows.
