Their shit films are doing poorly at the box office. It must be due to piracy!

A crackhead specializing in magic sounds like quite a threat.

That sounds an awful lot like modifying an ESP32 script I’ve been trying to follow from a YouTube tutorial published a while back. Research hasn’t uncovered anything for me to troubleshoot the issue so it’s a really shit experience.

The 3DO game company had a similar premise back in the mid 90s. They designed their console’s chip set and allowed any manufacturer to license and build them. Because the licensees didn’t get any royalties for game purchases like 3DO would, they’d sell them at high prices and levels of quality control to make sure they’d still make a profit.

It might be easier for a single company to make an open source appliance to better control initial build quality and allow the aftermarket vendors to handle replacement parts depending on the consumer’s preferences.

Maybe buy the original on Steam soon just in case they pull a Rockstar.

I started playing this the other day on a standard PS4 and the frame rate can be really choppy at times. A PC port taking advantage of modern hardware would be amazing. The art direction’s already perfect, it just needs to run at a frame rate that doesn’t make it difficult to time combat maneuvers.

I don’t understand the issue of bedrooms without a window. I once lived in a tiny studio apartment with a windowless bedroom. The total dark and silence gave me the best undisturbed sleep I ever had.

I’m American and I find it kind of creepy.

I don’t think it would be okay. Are you happy with almost all American media being controlled by a handful of mega corporations who are beholden to US hegemonic interests?

To play devil’s advocate here, I think it’s necessary for a social media platform to exist that’s outside the control of the US government. Just because we have the first amendment here that doesn’t mean our speech is protected, just look at what happens when protesters do it the “wrong” way.

Does that mean China gives a shit about our freedoms? No. They just won’t be forced into censoring things the US would want though, and the gap between their opposing hegemonic ambitions is where people can truly say what they want about the US in certain topics. While it’s true the CCP is data mining American citizens, their reach to compromise individuals is dwarfed by what US companies can do already.

Have you considered gog? They may not be betting heavily on Linux or have as a big of a selection but their games are DRM free. You can even install gog Galaxy, a game manager similar to Steam.

Star Trek Resurgence won’t be on Steam until next year so maybe RoboCop would be the better pick.

Crossing my fingers for a Phantasy Star reboot.
