I finally lost it with all the spoon-feeding and the hand-holding during missions, and when daddy rockstar did not like it when I did not play EXACTLY how they wanted me to, standing in the wrong spot - mission failed, try a different strategy - mission failed, jumped directly outside Danbury’s window - guess what - mission failed because Danbury just had a divine vision and destroyed the documents in a second. Fuck this shit.

I’m not necessarily with you on the other points. I guess I’m used to NPCs only spewing generic, canned lines. But this sucks so much. Huge issue imo.

So Israel is a hell hole?

Only Valve has the motivation and means…

I think they have the means but not the motivation. I can think of only 2 reasons why the state of anti-cheat is the way it is:

1. They don’t want to spend money to fix it
2. They don’t want to ban paying customers

and ofc console exclusive…

Ty for the tip! I only did a brief test but it seems to be working well.

I’d love normalization. Hope it works for movies where explosions are 10x louder than the dialogue.

Thanks for the suggestion. I already have an account there and use it from time to time, but I’m considering joining 1 or 2 more trackers if possible, just to have as backup.

Can’t believe it. And so “sudden” - though not really, they did give months of warning in advance, but I still wasn’t expecting it. My account is from October 2008 :)

It’s not a perfect tracker. Even this week I was mildly frustrated with a torrent that wasn’t seeded much, but it was good enough for me not to bother with many accounts anywhere else.

Don’t know where to go on next. Please leave suggestions if you know anybody taking in refugees :)

Not sure if joking or…? If you’re joking it went over my head :)

There’s this article about gaming on Guix which I found very interesting but difficult to replicate. Guix is still quite difficult to set up in my opinion, but probably awesome once you get everything working.

Yes how convenient. They opt out of a port worth cents but luckily they sell hundred dollars headphones with batteries in them. I already have wired pairs and don’t need any more.

Yes, because it doesn’t just “lack” it. They deliberately chose not to include such a simple thing so they can sell more shitty wireless headphones. I already have good wired ones, so no thank you. And I find this extremely anti-consumer and anti-sustainability.

The fact that they don’t include a headphone jack that’s been an audio standard for decades makes their claims of sustainability seem like marketing bs. And the argument that it’s to make the phones thinner is bs too, since most phones now are bricks compared to previous generations. It was all a ruse to sell crappy bluetooth headphones with recharcghable batteries that are going to wind up in a landfill.

Yeah bat infested cave is offensive to bats. They did nothing wrong, that’s their home. More like dog infested cave

Was not expecting Peep Show when clicking that link. Great show!

I’m glad these corporations are finally starting to reveal their corporate interests. Hopefully more people will wake up and jump ship.

Oof, good luck!

Maybe somebody who’s dealt with this before will give you some advice.

Right now I’d say don’t rush paying unless you really have to (maybe it goes away on its own somehow), and if it goes further play stupid as much as you can - you found the movie free on the internet and you got it - why wouldn’t you, it was free. Not your fault it was there. And make it seem you don’t understand the concept of seeding, leeching ,etc.
