I mean, how do you “average out” accents?

Saying “generic American accent” is about as valuable as someone doing a cockney accent and saying it’s generic British.

Americans would rather have thought crime and mass surveillance than give up their guns, because they need those guns to combat a tyrant or fascist.

So anyway, how’s USA’s government going these days? Surely not fascist or tyrannical with all those guns around, right?

Right?

The phrase “all one has to do” implies ease.

Not definitely. Every new, unused pencil I’ve ever seen in my life has been dull.

“It is a one time fee that you pay annually.” One of the best Portlandia skits.

Retch is still a word in modern English usage, but yes this is absolutely just an error and it’s meant to be “wretched”.

They are very closely linked, though. You are not incorrect, but the vast majority of games shipped on disc can be played without servers, etc. Once they take those physical discs away, the only way to get them will be digital distribution, which is way more prone to being shut down than every disc in existence being destroyed.

Note about the network: it really doesn’t matter how fast your server can go if the rest of the stuff connected to it can’t also handle it.

You have a server with a 10 gigabit network port, you also need the cabling, router, switches, and other hardware that can handle 10 gigabit.

“some newer games” is doing a massive disservice to the fact that it remains the vast majority. It is more honest to say some games aren’t playable from disc, but most are.

The majority of games released on disc, even today, are playable by putting them into a console, installing, and playing. No internet, no downloads.

There may be debate about “full games” given day one patches and future content updates, etc, but it is a misconception bordering on misinformation campaign that games these days don’t ship on disc.

They do. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, for example, has so much game shipped on disc that it came with two.

You can check out http://doesitplay.org/ to see what games do (the vast majority) and don’t play from disc.

It’s like 50% broken. I can still activate it but only from a specific angle and it’s not as clicky.

Moving to another country is not really that easy.

What business is 50k starting?

Back when the news dropped that they were potentially dropping the replacement parts for LCD, the news was focused on the battery. However mine needs a new LB, so I had been looking at that. Those also increased in price around the same time, nearly 150%.

Small nitpick, but any company that produces a product is also going to sell that product, they just may not be selling it directly to consumers. Companies that are selling to other companies still have someone in charge of doing that. Otherwise they wouldn’t make any money on the things they produce.

Kinda feels like a punk bassist being told not to use a pick makes them even more punk for doing so.

I played it on PC. Highly recommend.
