Obviously it’s not like stealing a car and I’m pretty sure that’s a straw man, he just said it’s piracy, which I’d argue it is.

It’s like taking the train without paying, you aren’t inherently hurting anyone, but if no one pays/watches ads it’s not sustainable.

Nah, in Germany they sell sausages in the colors of our flag whenever the football world championship happens, though they aren’t licorice flavored as far as I know

I’ve had plenty of cables on wired headphones die, and if the headphones don’t have removable cables, that’s it for them (unless you can solder on new cables, but you could also argue that you can replace the battery of wireless headphones). I’ve had the cable of my Sennheisers break like 3 times so far and I’ve only had the headphones for a couple of years, luckily they can be replaced easily

Cyberpunk also seemed alright, even the reviews were glowing. Well, we all know how that turned out

Yeah, it is. Apparently you can even get the early access if you really wanted to by just buying the deluxe upgrade and skip buying the base game. I have it pre-downloaded for the main release (no idea if I even have time to play it then)

I would wait on Starfield myself and wait for mods, but considering it’s part of gamepass, I see no reason to not give it a fair shake, especially since I have a few more months of gamepass I got gifted. I do however plan on buying the game like a year or two from now (or maybe ten, if Skyrim is anything to go on) on Steam to do another modded playthrough

It’s not optimal, and I would like for uploaded music to just show up in the regular search, but there is a top navigation bar where you can just switch between where to search (uploads being one of the options). Also YTM has the upside of showing YouTube uploads as well, I could always find obscure bonus EPs that only came with the physical CD because someone uploaded it, which is really handy

The old comic book rule of ‘no body no death’ might come into play

I think that’s the low end for wow players as well. I played it excessively for like a whole year (wake up, play, go to bed with very few obligations during that time), I have no idea how much time I spent in that game overall, because I’ve had a few periods like that in my life (though never that crazy)

Wir sind halt auch Kartoffeln

Is that what it means? We had a kid at school everyone just referred to as “Schnitzeljunge”, never knew where that name came from.

I think I had some decent single malts as my father quite enjoys whiskey, but I still think it’s horrible. It could be an acquired taste, I suppose, but I don’t know why I would want to acquire it tbh

Even if he had only one drink every time, it’s still a form of alcoholism to do so every single day (as the previous commenter alluded to). It’ll still devolve into compulsive behavior.

Yeah, I literally had the entire Sunday off to play with nothing (urgent) to do. Don’t get many days like that though. Literally played for 13 hours yesterday

Wait, acts? Are there literally like title screens like “Act 2 - The bad thing happens” or do you just call it act three in a storytelling structure kind of thing? Because I played like 15 hours this weekend and only barely made it to the underdark for the first time (no idea how far into the game that is). Howlongtobeat said the main story takes like 24 hours so I figured I’m a good way through the game already.

Can’t wait to get back to it

Be better? Thats something we won’t know until both are out. Look better? If it’s a full on remake, it will definitely look better than Skyblivion which largely looks like (modded) Skyrim.

For the young and experienced point: I was shocked how well she could fight. I thought the first fight against kill cannon would be the humbling “maybe I’m not ready” fight, but she fought like a god damn pro, ducking and dodging punches. Overall, I felt like she was way to good at fighting, though I guess that can be chalked up to her being created to be a weapon, so there could be some muscle memory implanted in her or some such.

I really enjoy Play, Watch, Listen by Alanah Pearce (works as a writer for Santa Monica Studios) with Mike Bithell(is a video game director with his own studio), Austin Wintory(is a video game music composer) and Troy Baker(that VA that is in everything). I know Troy Baker is a bit controversial, but I really love the insights they have on the gaming industry. It’s really fun to listen to IMO
