"Piracy is a service problem."

Customers always know they can resort to a hidden extra option. They choose not to because Steam makes it so easy and painless.

Streaming services are now going to learn that lesson the hard way.

You are ready for pain and death and to drink the hot blood of our enemies for the glorious revolution.

He might as well play Disco Elysium to show how ridiculous he sounds.

The only game I found that was actually successful in doing something like that was "Dark Souls: Remastered", and only because it's fucking Dark Souls.

Boomers don't pay attention to 4Chan. It's such a small segment of the population.

Gen X and Millennials pay attention to South Park, though. They see that "douche vs. turd sandwich" bit and think "Hey, that applies to our situation now!" Then they stay home in protest, because they don't like certain aspects of Hillary's campaign and ideals, as opposed to hating every aspect that Trump does or represents.

It's not about picking the "lesser evil". It's about having realistic expectations and analyzing the situation as a whole. During the primaries, you pick the candidate you want. During the general election, you pick the party you want, even if your primary pick didn't win. That's it.

I blame South Park.

Y'all remember Kennedy and how he called for the end of the Vietnam War? Yeah, me neither.

Both parties have always had pretty shitty international policy, but at least one of those parties actually wants to govern and participate in democracy.

Look, you have two choices:

  • You stay home and wake up in a nightmare where Trump uses his power to usurp the presidency and end democracy, because that's exactly what he and his followers want.
  • You get your ass to the polls and vote for Biden.

Good, they've been on a tear of classic remakes here lately, and I hope the new engine System Shock was built from can be used to remake System Shock 2.

Because System Shock 2023 just sounds goofy. I'm not sure how else they could have renamed it. They've been doing this with movies for decades, too.

The "Enhanced Edition" was the old version of the game with some mods and tweaks to make it playable for modern audiences. The new one is an actual graphical and gameplay remake.

They already fixed most of the bugs in the first major patch. Are you talking about the lost audio log near the entrance to the elevator on Level 8? They fixed that problem.
