I’ve seen this movie. But then the shady black market technology was really stolen from a government lab for robotic terminators and Aibo goes on a killing spree after raiding a hardware store for lawnmower parts.

You did read the part about how this wasn’t profitable?

Perhaps you should fill this unmet need by playing the long game yourself and manufacturing your own line of robot companions. Then everybody wins. There’s no magic technology in an Aibo that hasn’t been surpassed in the last two decades. Sounds like a great kickstarter opportunity.

So what did they do prior to 1996?

Its my time to waste. And I enjoy telling people their priorities are misplaced. You’re wasting your time listening. No-one’s holding a gun to your head.

And yeah, if you can afford a $2000 toy dog and have the audacity to ask for sympathy when it breaks, GTFO. This is not a child losing her beloved doll, these are…

Some things *really don’t matter* to anyone but the parties involved.

Thats probably true, and something worth examining. Aibo’s weren’t only sold in Japan however, they’re an export. Real dogs die too, and I have a much easier time showing compassion for actual dogs that need care than than a plastic mockery of a pet, a fancy puppet, that wears out (like all things do).

Everything you own will someday be taken from you, whether by obsolescence, neglect, fire, flood, war, or the unceasing ravages of entropy. Your own body will stop working, your essential self will fade, and you and your loved ones will cease to be.

Now talk to me about the lack of plastic gears for an expensive toy…

Noone is stopping them from adopting a shelter dog that nobody holds a patent on and learning to deal with actual loss and actual responsibility. Of course thats their choice. But they knew what they were getting into when they bought a plastic dog from a company that only supports their products for a decade at most.…

When you’re doing 500,000,000,000 damage per hit he goes down fast.

A number doesn’t mean much outside of its relationship to other numbers. Are we supposed to go ‘Gasp! What a powerful boss!’ when the boss could have one hit point and yet you’d struggle if you’re doing 10^-5 points of damage per hit? Sounds like they…

Not entirely. This isn’t exactly a reason but a hint: http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/…

Demon’s Souls was published by Namco Bandai in Australia and Europe. Sony in Japan and Atlus in NA.

Sony could possibly make this thing happen - they could throw money at it. But they show no signs of doing it. There is something…

My 50+ deaths to the bloodletting beast at the bottom of Ihyll beg to differ - the combat is plenty fast and lethal as is.

I think they lost the right to use the title Demon’s Souls because of the publisher.

Yeah but PS4 sucks and lacks exclusives amiright??

You’re an adult playing video games with your giant lumberjack hands? Sounds like a personal problem.

I didn’t say it wasn’t, but that doesn’t ‘unlame’ them.

Ok, you’re obviously correct. Jon will be back in season 6.

And then it will turn out to all be Sansa Stark’s bad dream.

The video keeps playing with the colors to try to show you what you’re supposed to see that I can’t figure out if there is anything interesting here or not. In fact you can cover up the large bars and the video still has the small bars changing color. I have the sound off, so perhaps this is explained, but it seems…

Why? The DS4 is a very well-designed controller - this brings modularity to the table but it either costs more or is composed of cheaper parts.

You don’t think thats a little too obvious? And they are going to do it with an actor who is looking for work?

How do you know its not Samwell? How do you know the prophecy isn’t bologna?

All Daenerys needs to fulfill the prophecy is a flaming sword. She’s already been reborn amidst smoke and salt.
