I feel like you've missed the point, which is only to point out how it is somehow not controversial to suggest a game needs a hard mode while the opposite will get you angry responses.
Probably a dumb suggestion but… I know you can get cat feeders that will detect your cat's microchip and only let them in. I wonder if you could get a litterbox that uses similar tech to only open for Kika?
I'm okay with most of this, but don't want to see this logic universally applied. For example, I think art should be preserved, and that includes games. Consigning years of work from dozens to hundreds of people to the void because the publisher got tired of it absolutely should be considered a monumental failure.
The best part is, unless that function name is misleading, it doesn't matter how the data is passed; a copy is being sent out over TCP/IP to another device regardless.
That's fair, tho the last part is true of animated PNG too. Hell, a lot of them will be all like "upload a short, optionally audioless MP4 and we'll call it a gif"… :P
Trouble opening images to view them is the only reason I can think of for such widespread hatred of an image format. I don't know OP's level of tech savviness so it seemed like a safe guess.
Don't forget, a lot of the early free trade, free press rhetoric was because the US stood to benefit the most from it. Of course the country with mass printing technology wants everyone to be able to buy their printed propaganda. Do they want to share the technology? Not so much.
It's true tho… for some new users. If the new user wants to learn linux fundamentals, there's no better way than hand installing Gentoo or Arch. Ideally on a second PC and using it as a home server.
Now if they just want an alternative OS for their main PC, yeah, go for something else.
God I'm glad I don't like star wars anymore. It'd suck if ubisoft put out a game I actually wanted to play, and ruin the easiest boycott ever for me (by making it harder).
In my understanding, intrusive thoughts is something like this: you`re walking along the street and pass a woman pushing a pram, and a thought pops up reminding you that you could kick it into the traffic if you wanted, and here's all the consequences. And because you're not a psycho you reel at the idea, wanting to smack your head for even imagining it. But there is no temptation, no urging. The thought cannot "win" because it is not trying to get you to do it, it's just an imagined possible scenario.
This is something different from having an impulse, which is something you could act upon as you describe. Or, I suppose, it is indeed to just decide to do something from your intrusive thoughts, but that seems unlikely because a key part of the definition of "intrusive thought" is that the thought must be unwelcome and/or distressing.
