Don't buy games with invasive user-side anti-cheats that hamper performance, and demand refunds on any game that adds it after purchase.
I don't understand why this is so hard for people. If everyone gave a shit, we could end this. But instead, people would rather just complain while still forking over the money to these companies.
There are so many good indie games without this kind of bullshit. We have better choices.
It's cool to learn the official guidelines; thanks for doing the legwork here!
I'll accept the lowercase L (in my East Coast based US education we were taught liters should also be capital L, but that seems to either be flat-out incorrect or have fallen out of fashion), but googling images of the cans shows me no space between the number and the unit.
It's nothing. Without a unit those are just numbers. A can of coke isn't 12, it's 12floz.
Or so my metric companions don't shit themselves in their panic-induced rage at the sight of imperial units, a coke can isn't 355, it's 355mL.
I believe I specifically asked you to articulate how the people I mentioned aren’t sex workers but Instagram and non-nude OF models somehow are.
Hey that's not fair!
.....we've also got Star Trek memes.
Are Hallie Berry, Drew Barrymore, Alexandria Daddario, Madonna, the singer Pink, or countless other people who have posed for commercial available photoshoots or video scenes "sex workers"?
If no, I'm going to need you to articulate how they aren't but Instagram and non-nude OF models somehow are.
Well, I do apologize for asking of you the Herculean effort of reading three whole paragraphs.
I appreciate you, my drunk friend.
Yellz0 and Kaitlyn Krems are not "sex workers," unless you expand the term so broadly so as to include anyone offering titillation, at which point every model and most actors would fall under it as well.
So no, I am specifically not assuming they follow sex workers, I am assuming they follow people who offer titillating content, as expressed.
Okay, I'll try to make it more appropriate for you. Ahem:
Why woman sell sex on pornhub okay, but women sell sex on instagram bad?
Also human think young adult sexy. Always, but also now.
How old do you think the women on pornhub are? What makes them more acceptable to look at over the women on instagram? I mean if we're talking about dudes perving on private social media accounts of 15 year olds, yeah of course that's fucked up. But that isn't at all the implication I got here, rather I assumed he's talking about OnlyFans models and other young women (not girls) who are offering their looks as a product, like Yellz0 or Kaitlyn Krems. In that case, this is extremely normal, and not really any different than the nearly 100 years of Hollywood; or did you assume the beautiful young starlets were only meant to appeal to their age peers (despite being cast and promoted by primarily older men)?
Hollywood, magazines, art, sales catalogues, and pornography; they are all selling the sexual appeal of young adulthood. And so long as the men and women being gazed at are willingly and consensually offering the display of their body, and they're of legal and intellectual ability to consent, then nobody is being wronged here, and nobody is behaving abnormally. These women deserve respect (as do the women on pornhub, to be clear; I'm still trying to understand what separates the two entities to you), and stepping over established boundaries, personal or social, is not okay obviously, but assuming the caveats I've outlined, I see nothing disrespectful about buying what somebody is willfully selling.
As for the age gap.... look, we can pretend to be this perfectly evolved species of always equitable and simple moral choices while ignoring literally the whole of human history which heavily implies an attraction in humans to young adulthood that doesn't seem to wean with age, or we can accept reality for what it is, warts and all. Personally for me, I just don't see how infantilizing young adults as if they are helpless children in need of constant coddling and viewing every relationship as an inherent competition of power and experience where any imbalance implies irreconcilable differences benefits us as a society.
For real. Every single time I see an article about anything this jackass says, all I can think it "why are we reporting on the words of a liar?" Why are still playing this dumb game as if we can't read between the lines? Why are we still playing respectability politics as if any of this has been normal behavior of polite society? Can we please just start calling this shit what it is? Why isn't this headline just "Lying Man Lies Again"?
"Squidward flute" made me cringe so hard I almost passed out. God please tell me none of you are actually that lame
100% yes to everything you said, and also snow! Beautiful, wonderful snow!
If you truly hate kids, this is what you have to do. Introduce dangers with plausible deniability.
My knuckles still hurt from the memories of slamming those box scooters into each other before they started putting handles on them.
Winter is the best season.
You snowbirds don't know what you're missing.
The way I see it, adding it, even this late, is changing the terms of the agreement and thus justification for a refund. Steam will often see it that way too if you word it as such. And if not, hell, you can still badger the publisher for a refund incessantly so at least it still costs them the equivalent in man hours even if you don't get the refund. The point is not to be passive, even if we don't get to win every single battle.
