  • Is it playable without VR hardware yet (officially)? Would love to play it, but... VR still seems like expensive gimmick to me.

  • I left their entire ecosystem forever after they were hacked multiple times during PS3 era, and were still too arrogant or lazy to add 2FA to accounts. (My bank at the time wouldn't even allow my card to be added to PS store because of rampant fraud.) They were later hacked by (checks notes...) North Korea, who spilled their corporate secrets (and pissed of Sandler, Fincher, others).

    Not to mention rootkits, insane DRM (see Cinavia), Blu-ray shady business (looks at price of BD players now), proprietary everything (memory cards, cables), focus on gimmicks, the horrendous design of PS5 (lol), etc.

  • "IT'S THE LAW." says Judge Dredd, as he instantly convicts and sentences the gelatinous orange blob to be executed on the spot. A napalm round should do the trick. There is no reason to drag this out, after all the former reality TV personality was probably the most obvious, unrepentant and insufferable criminals he'd ever had the pleasure of eliminating.

  • Also, when the government's military is less powerful (or too corrupt, will not fight) than the gang's military, the gang is now the government (owner). There is no "peace" versus armed gangs with more power and money than the gov.

  • You should be more careful spreading misinformation like this. (You may as well say they give you cancer and eat your baby.) FreeTaxUSA is still owned by TaxHawk, and absolutely not any part of Intuit (in fact it's a direct competitor that is doing great work to kill them). Intuit has managed to buy Credit Karma though, maybe others.

  • Maybe this ridiculous thing will eventually replace some of the worst or most useless human cops... in twenty years, after a few billion tax dollars, just before their union neuters the project and renders it virtually useless. Think of the possibilities!

  • Very nice summary, thanks. I just recently started CP77, about 30 hours in now. I will stick with 1.63 for this playthrough.

    My notes: The story and writing seems mostly excellent and unique (but not near the magic and masterpiece of Witcher 3.) Feeling that development was chaotic (pieces cut, rearranged, "montage" with Jackie was jarring.). World seems quite empty, few "layers" (soulless, unpolished). Car controls are not great, very "floaty" and strange. Literally zero encounters with NCPD yet (lol?). Reminds of Deus Ex, but leaning more action FPS. Bugs still apparent (floating cars, missing items), but nothing game-breaking. Graphics underwhelming (city environment especially, characters better, mostly "very high" settings, but admittedly no HDR or ray-tracing).

    Would rate 4 out of 5 for now, but a 3 is possible (hopefully not).

  • I guess the paths will now need some kind of bulletproof and carproof protection. thisiswhywecanthavenicethings.jxl

  • We're going to need about seventeen Batmans worth of vigilante justice to overcome this insanity. So far, not even one billionaire has tried to throw one of these clowns in a vat of chemicals. And then we get a retarded Musk?! Fuck this.

  • What I mean is more options for those features. The profiles and password tools are especially clever. (Examples: Password organizer can be locked with short master password, great for quickly decrypting archives matching ANY stored password. Profiles can quickly encrypt using specific settings, including super-long saved password without entering it.)

  • Wealth, probably. I would guess someone like that lives and works in a well-insulated bubble of whiteness that now feels like home to him. He now basically identifies as white, unless it's convenient not to. The guy probably believes that racism is not a modern problem, bootstraps, etc.

  • I don't know how long those "union members" will be welcome in the union if they can't seem to understand the value and purpose of a strike. And show up at rallies full of hateful people hoping they're all fired.

  • See also: the bizarre mind virus that's eating their brain alive. "No, you! Woke!"

  • Expected results of a cult (of millions of very dumb, gullible, low quality people) voting out of spite with no care for anything except cult status and endorsements from dear leaders. It doesn't matter how obviously unqualified the person is for the job, or the quantity of brain-melting gibberish that comes out of their mouth. Idiocracy is here, the mind virus is real, and the grift will only get worse until these literally insane people continually lose elections.

  • People using WinRAR. "Why would people use WinRAR?" It has more features than 7zip (password, encryption, profile presets especially).

    If you're asking why Microsoft would include it as a format for their extremely basic compression tool built into Explorer... why not, it's one of the top three formats.

  • Unfortunately, after his neighbor beat him half to death, while he lay humiliated, in pain and misery for weeks... he was still unable to understand how he ended up in that situation or change anything about himself. Noble effort though, neighbor.

  • I also use PIA, for many years now. The performance for price has always been fantastic, along with their policies. However, I'm becoming worried about the company now, noticing signs of bad health. Software development and updates have stopped (I've now switched to OpenVPN). Help and documentation has stopped (and blog/news). Customer service seems extremely understaffed as well.

  • Misery mostly. Industrialized hate for profit.

    Cult leaders have weaponized this pain for their own power and profit.They lie to people, tell them it's not their fault, to blame their failures on [insert latest convenient target]. They will fix everything if only they received more [power/money]. They distract from the unacceptable truth that it is their own actions that have led to their misery (including decades voting for same party and policies that "somehow" never helped). The cult is the most important thing in their life now, after cutting out disagreeable family and friends. These poor bastards will be squeezed for all they're worth.

    I'm not sure how miserable, lonely, damaged, mentally ill a person needs to be to be susceptible to this. But apparently we have more than enough to terrorize.

  • Super handsome. Maybe a lion. My void is similarly fluffy (home is now 37% hair), and comically polite and affectionate when it's time to eat. After, he's a very tough macho guy of course.

  • This applies to all the things, unfortunately. It must be nice to have a functional union. Even though I'm sure it's not perfect, progress is made at a decent pace. Our country is hijacked by a cruel/angry/illiterate cult every 1-2 elections, it's not ideal.
