Yikes, that’s ridiculous. Microsoft incompetence and greed at its finest.

Ah, I misunderstood. If there’s no Internet during initial install, pretty sure it’ll just default to using local. I’m not 100% certain, though, as I’ve not setup a totally offline install in a long time. I also haven’t used any edition of Windows that wasn’t at least Professional or Enterprise, so I’m guessing there’s differences there as well for account management.
The answer to our wealth disparity is to put power in the hands of the average person.
Average voter: “Ugh, all the power and responsibility is too much work. Can’t we just elect someone that takes care of all of this for us?” Congress/parliaments are born. “Ugh, keeping track of all these politicians and their policies and waiting for them to enact laws is too slow and tedious. Can’t we just elect some sort of super politician that promises to take care of all our problems quickly?”
Afaik, it’ll just use a cached login
I took one of my kids last weekend (my other kid is too little for movie theaters) and we really enjoyed it. I don’t think it’s as poignant as the first one, since it’s more or less kind of a rehash of the same theme, but it was still well made. Anyway, despite having seen the first movie many, many times, it was still fun seeing the characters reunited and satisfying seeing them overcome their new crisis.
That’s an interesting thought. They flee here seeking safety and a better life, only to find a large portion of the country very hostile towards you and your fellow immigrants. Finding decent paying work is very difficult, but at least construction is typically in high demand in many larger metros. You hate the job and would rather be a teacher, IT professional, nurse, or whatever but can’t due to being an undocumented worker. I can easily see that causing a strong sense of feeling trapped and hopeless.
Narrator: It didn’t.
Legitimate question, is Russia still able to get all the materials required to make nuclear ICBMs?
Hahah, AI images are so absurd sometimes, I love it
They have that policy, but most shift managers aren’t assholes and don’t care. Also, I know a lot of places around where I live donate the excess food to shelters.
That was pretty damn funny, thanks for sharing
These companies don’t care about combating bots. They don’t even care they’re directly enabling the rise of fascism across the globe. It’s typical short sighted capitalistic greed that’s driving their lust for higher and higher engagement to sell more and more ads. They simply don’t think about that once fascism is fully in place, capitalism goes away and their companies are at the complete mercy of whatever dictator takes over. And since it’s a global phenomenon, there will be no where for them to flee to.
Dams aren’t typically environmentally friendly almost at all. In fact, they tend to cause far more harm than good: https://earth.org/dams-economic-assets-or-ecological-liabilities/

So yes, this is a pretty clear black and white case of the US once again fucking over indigenous tribes.
Pretty sure it’s just a figure of speech, bud
Whoa, wtf? How did I miss that drama, haha holy shit. I definitely remember downloading it a few years ago and being aghast at its absurd size (think it was around 120GB? which nowadays that’s pretty par for the course because fuck optimization). But gutting half your content just to save space… have they not heard of compression? Like what the hell were they thinking haha
The recent Prince of Persia game was actually pretty good. I definitely acquired it on my Switch thru alternate methods, but I almost felt bad because I do wish for them to return to that kind of game design on the regular versus a one-off with that title.
Without a doubt! I played DS1 after DS3 (was always intimidated by the series until a visiting friend forced me to sit down and actually play it, thankfully), so I had that, “whoa!” moment numerous times whenever I’d somehow end up either right inside the hub area or quite close to it after spending hours traversing dungeons and ruins that felt miles away from the hub.
Truly wish FS would make another game designed like it.
Haha, I actually don’t hate DS2, it’s just pretty badly balanced (PvE wise, of course; I can’t speak on PvP). The levels are the bosses in that game (with a few exceptions), which makes going through them quite tedious after a failed run. If they dialed down the density of enemies and possibly buffed some of them in compensation, it could possibly almost tie almost evenly with the other 2 games for me. Oh, and got rid of the obnoxious Soul Memory system, god what a terrible idea that mechanic was/is.
What I do really enjoy about the game are the interesting and somewhat diverse locales, with some levels having some great design going on. I love the item and gear variety. I also really liked being able to reinforce my armor along with weapons. It made light armor a lot more competitive in the late game and I am a little sad they got rid of that feature in DS3 (among other things DS3 abandoned). I also enjoyed the sheer number of secrets in the game (Side note: One thing that saddens me in Elden Ring, is how little fake walls and secret passages there are). But it’s not just walls/passages; for example, in No-man’s Wharf, accidentally discovering that those freaky spider things fear fire/light and seeing them retract into the shadows was an awesome detail.
Anyway, I’d love for them to someday truly remaster DS2 and bring the enemy placements more in line with the original DS2 (SotFS is the current “remaster” and there are way more enemies/gank squads in it than vanilla DS2). If they did that and got rid of soul memory, replacing it with the same MP system as DS1R and DS3, I’d love to play through it again.
Sorry for the tangent, I’m just in full on Souls/ER mode this week.
I like DS1, but it really just depends on my mood. If I want faster paced combat, I go for DS3. If I want slower paced combat, I go for DS1. Also, the first half of DS1’s world design is unmatched in how it’s all interconnected, so I really enjoy the beginning of that game over DS3’s. That being said, fuck Bed of Chaos and that whole lava level. It’s just so bad (even Miyazaki agrees, as they unfortunately ran out of budget and time).
Regardless, I’m beyond hyped for Shadow of the Erdtree this week! Haven’t taken a day off work for a game launch in ages, but I sure as hell did this time.
Yeah, countries obtaining uranium really isn’t that big of an obstacle.
