Well one of these things is undetectable to the naked eye and the other is a costume for being arrested

I didn't say anything about America, I'm just pointing out that Europe absolutely and demonstrably does not have free speech protections.

Sometimes I forget what a cheatcode for satisfaction being raised Buddhist was

Not for nothing but they don't have free speech in Europe

Can't we make necklaces of intense IR radiation that block out our faces? Or does that not work anymore?

Man ea and Ubisoft games suck so bad I don't even bother pirating them. I'm not even being facetious, the last ea game I played was the dead space remake which was passable but also totally skippable, and I borrowed a friends ea account to do that, getting bored half way through and stopping. Had he not offered I'd not have played it at all. I think the last ea game I paid and played through was mass effect 2.

Same thing with Ubisoft. I briefly had gamepass and played AC Odyssey for three hours before losing interest, same with their terrible Greek botw wannabe.

Neither company has released anything I've even been interested in since that, years and years ago.

That said I still buy rockstar games, the amount of money, effort, and attention to detail that went into Red Dead 2 is simply breath taking, but by the same token i bought it for twenty bucks after pirating it to make sure i liked it and it ran well.

Other than that I'm on the same page as you. Also I'm not criticizing you, just pointing out a slight difference in opinion. I pirate two dozen games a month

Is it a nexus of sorts?

Apparently my Microsoft account is some bullshit one I made for Xbox in 2006 and it thinks I'm a made up name from that time, which is pretty funny to me literally everytime I reset my PC ... Which because I use win 11 is way more often than it should be

JFC I wish I could go back to win 7, I had to get win 11 and I've never hated an os like this in my life. My favorite part is how I have no control over it changing the things I actually use. No sorry, my favorite part is how right around the time an update is about to come out my windows starts crashing and locking up. It's amazing.

Can confirm, been doing it since forever.

Is it fair to blame 343 Studios' incredibly, laughably incompetent handling of the Halo franchise for this? And by this I mean the obvious death of the Xbox as a gaming platform. Or, from a different perspective, could Halo have actually saved the Xbox if the games had been amazing, or even just good?

Are there even mods and where are they?
