Use the official Microsoft tool that makes installation media. From there, you can leave it unactivated, purchase a key, or use MAS or whatever it's called to activate for free
Personally, I don't like the way Apple does business. Primarily, that you aren't just buying the product, you're buying into their ecosystem. Almost everything apple does well only realistically works of you stay confined to their stuff. And you're fucked if you wanted compatibility with older software. Remember when Apple just decided 32 bit was dead to them?
And while their hardware is pretty good, it costs wayyyyy too much. I just got a new pc with the top end amd cpu and an rtx 4090, and it cost under half what a Mac pro costs. I seriously doubt their ARM desktop chips are really that much better. Maybe if I were to buy a Mac and use it the rest of my life without upgrades, the efficiency of using an ARM cpu would save me the difference on electricity?
It's even funnier when you realize that arguably their biggest competitors back in the day, Nintendo and Sega, both have far better claims to being 50+ years old, with both having continuous operations since. Bonus points to Nintendo for being over 100 years old.
It serves to get their name/content out there to more people who would otherwise not have been interested in paying for it initially. For instance, you may be more willing to pirate a game than to buy it without knowing you'll be interested, but after playing it, you may decide it's worth buying.
Also, in areas where legal means to watch just fucking suck, piracy can increase the amount of fans interested in things like merchandise.
Just got project wingman since it released on ps5. Coming literally straight from ac:7, it's insane just how good it is for an indie that exists because people wanted more ace combat games. Weapon selection is slightly more annoying, using the dpad, which is annoying since you have to take your thumb off the stick, but other than that, it's the same stuff.
Seems you're actually watching yourself if flailing about is what you're interested in since you've repeatedly failed to make anything resembling an actual point.
A strawman argument is where they put up a false version of the argument I was making and argue against it instead. Such as pretending I was arguing media should have zero message whatsoever, instead of the actual argument I was making, which was that entertainment should be a higher priority than the message
Check if your profile was shadowbanned. If you accidentally posted in karma limited communities and had stuff removed, it's pretty likely that you got shadowbanned and should just make a new account.
You can literally make a reddit account with random characters in an email format. For instance, akxue@sjcra.wd is considered valid, and since you don't actually need to verify the email to use reddit, you're good to just never care what you entered.
Miss fortune also refers directly to the summoner since riot pretends like her default skin doesn't exist
