Nah, that would just make me a dick.

At one time I did, and to my surprise, my friend did just that! Unlocked their phone and handed it to me without a word. Welp.

I tried arguing against this, but it’s no use. I tried pointing out how something can be branded illegal retroactively, like 20 years down the line, I tried the “give me your credit card info” approach, nothing took. 90% of the time the counter-argument is usually something to the effect of “big companies know everything about me anyway”, which is just guessing on their part.

I’m just going to take care of my own privacy, because I’m clearly in the minority (present company excluded, of course). Almost everyone I know disregards online privacy completely, so I’m done trying to get a dialogue going with these people; it’s every man for himself. The only way online privacy will become a hot topic among laymen is when something nasty happens and at that point, it will have been too late.

You leave my unhealthy obsessions out of this!

It’s not gonna be easy. It’s gonna be really hard, and we’re gonna have to work at this every day. But I wanna do that because I want you. I want all of you, forever. You and me. Every day. You piece of shit.

Having spent five years on Linux with an nVidia card on my previous laptop, I can safely say my thrills are exactly nil. Hearing the words “nVidia Optimus” will legit put me in a bad mood.

Are people asking for a Bloodborne remake? I always thought they just wanted a port to systems other than PS4. Which I still think Sony should do.

True for most screw-ups in gaming, yes, but not this time. The studio in question, Paradox Tectonic missed three Early Access deadlines. It sounds like Tectonic bit off more than they could chew. I like bashing execs as much as the next guy, but if you miss three deadlines at any job, you’re probably getting the axe.

Well, I don’t go around asking questions and then refusing every single answer, I can tell you that much.

Oh shit, that was Sylux from Prime 3’s secret ending. I loved the Prime games, I’m pretty hyped about this.

Yes, I’m sure every developer will jump at the chance to develop something for a dying platform.

News to me. Do you have any articles on this? Searching for “banana right wing” gives me a bunch of articles about Chiquita funding a paramilitary group.

No, those work too. I couldn’t possibly exclude examples of such lovely books for children.

Average, but quiet and peaceful life and it’s not even close. Being famous sounds like a massive chore.

Yeah, definitely not kid friendly. I’d much rather give them a light-hearted story about puppies, like The Plague Dogs.

Nice try, NSA.

Suits me. I have a ton of movies and TV shows to catch up to.

It’s been a while since I’ve seen the movie (and have no desire to see it again) and I don’t remember the scene as clearly, so that’s on me. Throwing away the gem was still colossaly stupid, though.

Probably what he meant, yes, but that’s not a sequel. I would even hesitate to call it a spiritual successor. It’s basically just Civ in spaaaaace.

James Cameron’s Titanic. It’s marketed as a romantic film, but the moment you start looking at other aspects of the movie, it just seems stupid. The antagonist is so cartoonishly evil, it’s a wonder they didn’t give him a mustache to twirl.

And then there’s the ending. Oh dear lord, the ending. Spoiler warning and all that: at the end of the movie, The Titanic s(t)inks and the passengers try to get to safety. Rose finds a floating door or something to stay afloat and finds Jack swimming in the freezing ocean. Then Jack makes the most non-sensical decision in the entire movie: he sacrifices his own life for no good reason. The plot frames it as a necessary sacrifice, but it totally IS unnecessary, because there was enough room on the stupid door for two people. And then we flash forward to the present, where Rose is old, but still has that gem she wore throughout the movie… and then she tosses it into the ocean. WHY.

Basically the plot boils down to: two young people have a fling on a boat and then the boat sinks. It absolutely did NOT deserve all those academy awards it got that year.
