Before Internet video porn, kids were finding their dads' Playboys and VHS tapes.

And before that, people living in cabins or caves had sex in full view of their children because there was nowhere else to do it.

Children seeing adults bang is not even remotely new, and nothing overly bad ever came of it. The only reason anyone is concerned with this is because their screwed-up religion taught them to be afraid of sex, and that is not an adequate justification for compromising innocent adults' privacy.

some conservatives are going to have things blocked that aren’t porn and are helpful to some kid’s sexual education because they’re regressive.

That sounds like the real motivation for this nonsense: not to protect kids from harm, but to protect their parents from the responsibility of properly educating them.

You severely underestimate kids' technical know-how. If it can be broken, they will break it.

What happens when you coerce a string to a date-and-time but it's not valid?

Where I'm from (Rust), error handling is very strict and very explicit, and that's how it should be. It forces you to properly handle everything that can potentially go wrong, instead of just crashing and looking like a fool.

That would require you to disclose proof of your real-life identity to some dubious company for the purpose of unlocking porn. Definitely not privacy-preserving.

I'm an adult with a job, and I don't have a snowball's chance in hell of affording the recommended system requirements for this game any time soon. RX6800XTs do not grow on trees.

Which is not a desktop.

Long, toasty, and full of rope-spear uppercuts.

Since when did Bethesda have QA?

If you can't afford Starfield, how can you afford a computer capable of running it?

Now imagine how fast they'd be without Denuvo.

Steam system requirements say RX5700 minimum. Recommended is RX6800XT, which was ludicrously expensive last I checked. Also I need a much newer CPU.

In this economy, that's gonna be a no from me.

What the heck is database cracking?

Yikes. Thanks for the heads up.

Good. China has enough slaves. It doesn't need more.

Gotta move that fruit up!

That's not how you spell “imprison the C-suite of”. Last time I read the Constitution, giving aid and comfort to America's enemies was treason.

What's wrong with it?

You might pay for a subscription-based future, but I will stay on PC where this sort of nonsense is not tolerated.

May his afterlife be long and toasty.
