Some people are upset that they could have a spotless record, unknowingly gift a game to somebody who chooses to cheat, and lose the privilege of gifting that game permanently. Other people are suggesting it might hurt individual people’s ability to do things like giveaways.

Yeah, I get some of the reasons, I just thought it was pretty humorous from my perspective as someone from a place that regularly gets multi foot snowfalls.

The women sit, in tasteful business attire, at an edge of a pool, or the lip of the pool you might say. The edge has to be wet though, that’s where the sexiness comes from

Oh god. I’m from a snowier region but spent a year in Seattle. I remember distinctly there were three times the weather report predicted a chance of less than an inch of snow and the whole city shut down, people put chains on their tires and my boss was calling telling me not to risk coming in. Even if the forecast…

I actually don’t remember mini maps in the JRPGs I played as a kid all that much. Final Fantasy 6 had one, but I’m pretty sure Final Fantasy 4 and 5 did not. I don’t remember one in Chrono Trigger or Secret of Mana or Lufia or Breath of Fire either.

Neat. What’s that between the fan and the optical drive? The heatsink?

$300 sounds like a pretty big additional expense to me just to play remotely, but maybe my finances are different to yours. Seems like it would make more sense just to play with local folks and save the money

Whelp, when I started this article, I was thinking about getting my old tabletop buddies now in different states together and giving this a shot, but you’ve officially talked me out of it. Sounds too expensive to make it work and not worth it.

People do it, I think, because it enhances their personal enjoyment of the game. Which is fine in a single player experience, but once it interferes with the experience of others it becomes a dick move.

So you believe that anti-discrimination laws state that video game cheaters are protected class? Are you high?

If Blizzard was banning people for being Muslim or on the autism spectrum or female, that would be illegal yeah. That’s not the situation here though, stop pretending it is.

You understand that with actual real world crimes, there are consequences besides getting banned from Overwatch right?

If Blizzard bans you from a service because you are gay or disabled, you do have the right to sue them. There are laws about that. If Blizzard bans you from service because you are being a jerk to their other customers, you don’t. That’s what you agree to when you give them your money. You are purchasing the right to…

It’s oddly comforting for this oldschool Diablo Battle.net/UO Atlantic Shard kid that these idiots are still out there. Keep being selfish morons. This sort of crap has been happening since people started playing with strangers online, and developers have been struggling to keep it under control. I still don’t get how…

Fair enough. I am inclined to agree. Hopefully the courts will too

Agreed, except when they are engaging in discrimination. Which is the argument here. Like I don’t think university officials should be able to suspend or expel a student solely because of their gender, which is what dude and his lawyers are arguing they did here.

I tried to get into the Trails games based on your recommendations a while back. I enjoyed it but got distracted, will have to put it back on my list. Feels like it might be a good game for my new Steam Link sitting on the couch set up

“You tell me, who’s crazy here?”

I used to work with a young autistic man who had a turbulent time when puberty came around. He was extremely curious about sex and romance, but had challenges because he had a poor impulse control and little understanding of social norms, personal space and consent. It got to the point that he would try to touch women…

Only about halfway through, but it reminds me of the good parts of the early Nightmare on Elm Street films. I almost want them to find a way to reveal Freddy Kreuger as being behind everything

Fine fine, very impressive.
