I wonder why after all these years this is so hard to get right.  Even with PCs standby and hibernate still have issues sometimes.  

While I can’t say I agree with an immature way of expressing it like that and I do feel call-out culture has devolved into a celebration of harassment and bullying with an “excuse,” I can certainly understand it in this case.

Games are absolutely given away on Steam too. In addition, unless something changed keys can be generated for publishers to do whatever they want with, being selling the keys elsewhere or giving them away.

It’s like that whole “You are now aware of your breathing.” thing to me. “You are now aware of your tinnitus.” Thankfully the mind is good at filtering things most of the time...

I think the thing that woke me up to that most was someone hijacking my Domino’s pizza account and blatantly ordering pizza in New York. I live in Wisconsin. Obviously my password was not secure enough, but what woke me up was that they probably didn’t bother going after the thief since doing so would cost money for…

That sums up most of these uses, doesn’t it? I’m sure there are some uses for less computationally expensive blockchains, but making replacements for perfectly functioning existing systems isn’t one of them.

How revolutionary, NFTs to sell trading cards. It’s as if there aren’t tons of gacha games and numerous other online card games that have data structures already handling these things that aren’t needlessly convoluted for the sake of it. A lot of good decentralized receipts are when they are useless without a…

I really hate the war against the single-payment license.  This is just one front.  Amazon is insufferable trying to get you to subscribe rather than buy music.

I know it’s a bizarre thing to zero in on, but I’m moderately disappointed “tediously mow down defenseless creatures" made a required return.  That's my least favorite part of the first game, followed by how tedious refilling the healing herbs is.  I still love the first game and look forward to the sequel though.  I…

That’s nice, but it’s not a problem. Should all medieval settings have consultants to not distort European cultures? Unless the setting is specifically saying it is Asian, it’s fiction. They owe nothing to authenticity. Unless it’s intentionally malicious, the entire cultural “appropriation” nonsense is just that to…

I can't stand anti-vax nonsense, but while serious COVID isn't remotely comparable to a world ending threat.  

That’s a kind way of putting what I was thinking.  Social media outrage mobs/cults don't deserve validation.

I think true late stage capitalism will involve automation so good most work is irrelevant.

The alternatives have been worse is key. Capitalism aims to make human greed beneficial; it isn’t the cause of it. You don’t magically inspire competent leadership or get people to happily go to work if you get rid of it. It does, however, need regulation. Some things should be socialized too, like medical systems. All…

Scam? No, but you cannot honestly think it’s reasonable to claim this hasn’t been awfully managed, can you? Three years after the Kickstarter was announced, Star Wars: The Force Awakens came out. That entire sequel trilogy ended... over two years ago.  Wing Commander released in 1990.  Wing Commander Prophecy released…

Have either burned through this much money with little to show for it other than the same exact “well progress is being made” that I recall hearing for the last over half a decade?  It’s not a scam, but oof.

Has this game passed the amount of time the entire Wing Commander series was active? Ignoring the license milking Wing Commander in name only PVP game of course. I wish them well, but it’s ridiculous. There must be a happy medium between profit-obsessed shareholders demanding games be pushed out the door before they…

The surreal part of this to me is how apparently there’s drama among pirates because these pirates pirated the work done by other pirates to sell it.  Or something.

It actually pains me to think it’s likely at least one person probably thinks he has something to do with Nintendo itself, like when people thought there was instability in the state of Georgia when news was about the country years ago.

It seems the answer is one, Kareem Serageldin. It sounded like an answerable question so I looked it up. It also sounds like they wanted to catch more but it was difficult to find proof. Just being mad at people and imprisoning them isn’t justice. The have to be specific charges, and the evidence just wasn’t there.
