I wish we could say and all agree “right that’s it no more being cunts everybody be cool from now on OK?”

Deporting low income workers

It’s cause dey tuk ur juurrrrbs

“Which hand is the bean in?”

All foodstuffs banned.

You know what really really really really really bothers me about some of those people? They were loudly talking about how this is just a test of control and they can see who’ll obey the new world order and who’ll rebel and they’re loudly and proudly rebelling telling anyone who’ll listen.

If it really is a test and they’re making a list, why put yourself on the “kill this prick first” list?

Like a dark-side Peter Molyneux

Holy fuck that’s a wild read. That’s some comic-book villain level of dialogue.

It only takes one, and they’re not going to admit to their mum that they tried taking it apart or installing some dodgy stuff on it. Once word gets out they can be “randomly” bricked they’ll stop selling so well.

There’s also the risk that it’ll actually get randomly triggered.

As part of a severe response to unauthorised use

They won’t give the first shit about piracy policies or anything like that, but they’ll care that MummyD123s DH bought their DD an electric brick that won’t keep them quiet any more.

The target audience still goes online. Generally Facebook and mumsnet. Wait til it happens to one of them and the stories go round like wildfire.

With that market, especially at big luxury prices like a console, you exist solely on good faith.

I only see the highlights from the Internet, the “yas queen” moments.

Is he ever not right?

It’s not the laziness so much, it’s the KKK right at the start

I’m playing through it now but I’m not enjoying it as much as the first one. I’m not sure if it’s my fault for not being able to give it the time and attention it requires.

You need the next piece of equipment, so you go to where the robot says it is. “Oh no we need a different piece of equipment to get there first. I’ve marked it on your map”. Cool ok. “Looks like to get that piece of equipment we need to craft this new piece first”. OK. “Looks like we need a special material so let’s go-”

At a certain point you forget what you wanted to do in the first place and just start following the next marker.

I love the world and the wackiness of it all, but I’m not enjoying the actual gameplay loop nearly as much as I did the first one.

Legend has it the original Worms was similar. The DRM was a notepad readme that basically said “share me with your friends but buy a copy if you really like it please”

Remember the “Disney can legally kill your wife” memes?

Imagine if all his stuff was actually teleprompted. I wouldn’t even be surprised any more, just disappointed.

I’ve only pirated old stuff, games from my youth that are collectible items now for silly money or a complete crapshoot on whether 30 year old tech has stood the test of time.

If I had the time to play them I would definitely see my conscience clear on pirating new stuff from them now.

As far as I understand patent law, if nobody has actually patented something someone can just say “mine lol” and scoop up royalties and block shit for spite.

That sounds to me like “ain’t gonna happen mate but I don’t want to upset you”.

Which I’m kinda happy about. All the updates to stardew have been free and I want more. More. MORE.

Repetitive and grindy

It’s working out good for me personally. Between that trend and having gamepass. I don’t have much time to game any more, so can barely get past a tutorial before real life steps in. By that point I feel like I get it though so it’s OK.
