Genshin Impact is a live, always-online game that let’s you see who’s online and you can be connected to at any time by another player, and it also still lets you pause whenever you’re playing solo/not actively connected to another player.

So I’m guessing you have neither pets nor children, but yes in fact. Allow me to introduce you to this entirely new concept called “Responsibilities”. Yes. Not being able to pause is in fact a problem.

Are you being deliberately obtuse or are you actually dull enough to not get the absolute basics of why pausing is a good thing for games to let you do?

yes

Russia is a lost cause, from a democratic and societal point of view IMO. The wheels that’d require turning to get it anywhere near parity with other social democracies feel impossibly large. At a minimum, we’d have to wait for Putin to die, and hope his successor was weak enough, and pro-democractic groups strong &…

Well, no. Seeing how in the game there seem to be hundreds of zombies per living human I’d say people got vaccinated in a somewhat realistic proportion.

I read a review somewhere that said

Sony simply doesn’t have the resources to buy a publisher as large as Activision Blizzard.

Size-wise, Microsoft had more cash-on-hand than Sony’s entire market-cap (roughly $130bn). Market-cap wise, Microsoft is roughly 25x the size of Sony, which is why Activision-Blizzard was only in play for a company as large and…

Sony couldn’t afford EA. I’m actually wondering if they had to check the fee for a bounced check before making this purchase.

It’s whatever the corporate equivalent of small dick energy is.

That guy also got super hearing damaged. Inside a sealed space, the damage is so much worse.

And this is what you get in a society that fetishizes guns.

He’ll be elected to our Florida Senate next cycle I’m sure.

This is the society you get when you treat firearm ownership as an inalienable right, rather than a privilege with responsibilities.

I find “half brother of dreamcast" intriguing,  is there a story there?

lol stop. Just take it on the chin for once. It’s true, and the more you sound like your standing up in defense here the more Realnoize’s point is made.

Were they? The Xbox 360 was also (somewhat) backwards compatible?

Not really, this is a pretty common technique to try and break unions by severing communications between members, isolating them, and putting them among people who don’t enjoy union protection who, in theory, can’t walk out.

I agree it’ll likely backfire because this is from the days when you couldn’t set up a Slack…

Always sounded a bit like an inside job. There’s a train that tends to park right across the road I need to use to get to work. In the 10 minutes that train is parked, if I ran out and opened a 2-3 containers, I’m sure I would find a life time supply of pencil sharpeners, an assload of laxatives, a couple reams of…
