This whole thing reeks of corruption:

South Carolina recently resumed executions after a 13-year pause due to a lack of lethal injection supplies and challenges to its other proposed methods, of electrocution and firing squads. The state restocked pentobarbital, a sedative, after it passed a law to shield the identities of companies supplying the drug, which had feared public backlash.

The state supreme court has authorized the scheduling of executions roughly every five weeks, an extraordinary pace that lawyers argued would strain attorneys representing multiple defendants and risk botched executions due to the rushed process.

The anti-christ and the false prophet are here today.

Like wealth disparity, you see people claiming more and more within the realm of IP. Where does this sort of land grabbing end?

“The problem with sites that extract text from movies and other content is that they reduce people’s desire to pay a fair price for content, which can lead to people not seeing the official full-length movies, causing great damage to rights holders,” the anti-piracy group explains.

This argument is not very convincing, and I highly doubt there’s any evidence to support it.

We should totally just go along with DRM, or they might decide to break other stuff. This is totally an innocent request, and far from attempted extortion.

Journalism has been dead for ages. Now, satire (like The Onion), that’s informative.

Now that I think about it, the cause-and-effect here is probably being viewed all wrong.

What likely happens is that a game comes out to overwhelming expectations, and the greater those player expectations are met, the more word-of-mouth gets around about the game. Thus, games that deserve to do well make more money, and pirates are less motivated to work on a crack right away.

If player expectations are not being met, the less success the game receives, and the more motivated pirates are to crack it (driven by their disgust at bad software).

The above scenarios probably do a good job of accounting for 20% of the revenue for a game.

It’s always been a Lua-powered game. They’re just making it more in-your-face.

He knows he’s going to lose, so he’s just shouting any crazy thing he can think of to try to provoke a violent confrontation (literally the only thing that can save him from going to prison).

Republicans really hate democracy.

Republicans really hate democracy.

I see the Kremlin has been hard at work, spreading chaos just before the election, the same way they do every time.

Most games rely more on GPU than CPU, nowadays. So, it’s not really all that surprising.

TV really rots your brain, especially this season once every four years.

Here’s the thing, though. Even if Trump somehow won the election, Elon Musk will still likely get indicted and get stabbed in the back by Trump. That’s kind of his thing. Trump doesn’t care about anybody but himself.

If Nintendo actually gave a shit about their customers, they’d release all their games on GOG. Don’t hold your breath waiting for that to happen.

Nintendo are control freaks. They want nothing more than to have their own official “security” guards watching over everyone’s shoulder, finger on the trigger of their shotgun, as they make sure you play their games (not your games) in the Nintendo-approved way of playing their games.

I feel like it’s important to note that eating, breathing, and having a fun time with friends are all very LGBTQ+ activities! #woke

He has since doubled-down on that bullshit by stating:

With elections, there are consequences. That being said…I believe that those who vote for individuals with liberal policies have to accept responsibility for their actions!

In other words, he knows that he’s instigating riots and genocide, and he’s not going to apologize for it.

A true Klingon never uses comments.
