Currently on Earth for 8 years ensuring steps to unite humanity and usher us into the galactic civilization just so I can see my boyfriend again.

Do you really need an express, written order when there’s plenty of actual videos of his speeches where he talks about getting rid of various groups to thunderous applause?

All I use my machine for is gaming, so not having cheaters in games far outweighs the odds of being hacked by imaginary bogeymen.
- Comment on Microsoft is moving antivirus providers out of the Windows kernel. Hopefully anti-cheat will be next 4 weeks ago:
I’d probably be okay with kernel level anti-cheats if they actually stopped cheaters. But they don’t. Hell, the best anti-cheat I’ve ever seen that actually works isn’t even made by the developers of the game; it’s a mod! Blue Sentinel for Dark Souls 3. All it does is check if the files a player you’re connecting to has deviate at all from your own, then prevents the connection if they are.

I was born in '85. IBM pioneered the idea of software licensing in the '50s.
- Comment on Reminder that you do not own digital games 5 weeks ago:
They don’t have DRM. That’s not the same as owning the game. If you don’t back up the games or installers yourself, and GOG goes under, you lose access to your library the same as if Epic or Steam going away.
You can back up your Steam and Epic games, too. You just need to be able to access your account to verify your license for most titles (but not everything; loads of games do not use Steam or Epic’s DRM, have no online checks to verify anything, and you can just copy the installation folder to another machine to play the game).

- Comment on Steam OS page gets a redesign, finally retiring the old design from the Steam OS 2.0 era 1 month ago:
I remember Steam Friends existed for a long ass time before TF2, but then they removed the service (like the tab was still there but it no longer connected to anything) for years and then when the orange box dropped, it also came with a massive update to Steam’s social stuff and gave us back Friends but also added Groups.
It always seems like they are working on these massive updates/changes/new things but not even rolling them out until it’s 100% finished instead of just adding things like 1 feature at a time. Which is weird, to me, because one of the defining things about Valve is their level of iteration. You’d think Steam would just constantly be evolving every other week as they try and test things on the general public and yet… They don’t. They’re like the only ones that don’t.

I’ve been playing Minecraft again. I haven’t played since… Fuck I don’t even remember. But long enough that barely anything is familiar to me anymore. It’s like playing for the first time all over again! 😃
- Comment on Are AAA Games too bloated? 2 months ago:
I am of the mind that the most important part of a game, is the game. Having fun playing a game. A good game does not need a story. It doesn’t need to do everything. It doesn’t need to have something new happening or being given to you every 10 seconds.
Look at all the top most played games/games with consistently high player counts. They’re almost all some kind of competitive game that doesn’t change too much no matter how long you play. They don’t have hundreds of hours of content, dialogue, voice acting, etc. They’re just fun.
- Comment on Tech Companies Apparently Do Not Understand Why We Dislike AI 2 months ago:
In an actual anarchistic society, we wouldn’t need copyright. But we live in capitalism. Stuff like copyright is needed until property itself no longer needs to exist. I’m all for changing the world toward anarchism, but I am not naive enough to believe for a second you can do it all at once and taking away the few things that at least attempt to make things fair is monumentally stupid.
- Comment on Tech Companies Apparently Do Not Understand Why We Dislike AI 2 months ago:
No, I don’t think they would. But I also do think that copyright has been bastardized from its original intent (mostly by Disney). Abolishing it entirely while not moving away from capitalism would be bad. Going back to it only lasting for the lifetime of the creator, and not being able to pass it down would be better.
- Comment on Tech Companies Apparently Do Not Understand Why We Dislike AI 2 months ago:
Pro-AI people want to do away with copyright entirely. Seen a lot of stupid shit recently, but seeing so-called anarchists on db0 claiming that copyright only helps big business takes the cake.

Now, the trailer said they recorded/added new lines specifically in the context of giving different races more unique voices compared to the original; what I want to know is if they redid this dude’s at all simply because the version of him in Starfield went super hammy with it and it was fantastic. Even better than the character in the original Oblivion. It would be dope if they re did it just to give him that same energy he has in Starfield.
