Blast 'em to hell from Moscow to Vladivostok for all I care.

The meat grinder worked back before the days of tiktok and the like. News would get back to Moscow minus the horrific death tolls, nowadays everyone can see what’s actually happening.

This war ends with Putin dragged into the streets and his remains being hosed down into the sewer.

What about my cats? They acknowledge it, but ignore me. I guess they’re just rude.

I live in Basel, Switzerland, lovely old city, very unfriendly to cars, which is fine due to the great public transit. There is this one dickhead who has a bright, shiny red Dodge Ram. It’s monstrous. And it doesn’t fuckin’ fit in the streets, I’d love to see how much in fines that idiot has had for blocking trams, traffic, and all the other nonsense I’ve seen it do, was actually stuck in traffic once because it got stuck on a corner, took 30 mins to get it backed up and out of the way.

I’d think it would be fairly similar to GTA Online, which is perfectly fine in my book. Something to spend all those eddys on after doing some coop or PvP.

It’s because getting something you actually voted for with your tax money is evil and you can’t have that.

Funnily enough, that’s all BS. Going “NATO MADE ME DO IT!” is not a defence for a premeditated attack on another country. Countries join NATO because the alternative is being invaded by Russia. This process is done democratically, something completely alien to the dictatorship you’re shilling for.

They also like churning out all those filler episodes.

This is all well and good, but what of all those MMORPGs that got shut down?

The Crew is a bizarre game to do this kinda treatment for, since the sequel is very similar to the first, less terrible crime syndicate story, more planes and other nonsense. It’s also pretty middling, car handling is really weird, and the lack of rear view mirrors looks pretty weird nowadays.

I’m guessing it’s car licensing that’s causing the shutdown. It’s what happened to Forza Horizon 1 and 2. If that is the case, this game isn’t going to get open sourced ever. Also: why didn’t this guy go after Microsoft to make them playable again?

For the last few years, most MMOs have been, or become, Free to Play, with (a lot of) microtransactions. The only subscription MMOs I can think of off the top of my head are FFXIV, WoW and Eve. Then you have the buy to play, with no sub (or optional sub, but not required to play), games like New World and Elder Scrolls Online. Making the vast majority F2P.

All of those games can become EOL and be removed from sale for any number of reasons, and they’ll have the same terms in the EULA that the crew would have. There is literally nothing different legally between The Crew and something like Elyon. Both were paid for up front, no subscription with some optional microtransactions.

Since legallly there is nothing different between all these live service games, it makes this youtubers campaign all the more odd. Car Licensing is notoriously well enforced, so why is this guy, a Half Life youtuber of all things, thinking he can go after Ubisoft on this when it’s pretty obvious that it’s the license agreements that are the likely cause of the shutdown.

The reason you can still play UT99 and 2004 is because those games were never hosted by epic on a central server. The game shipped with the server hosting tools, and it was designed to allow you to host your own server (if your connection was fast enough) or to rent your own server from a third party.

They’re also very different types of games from the current crop of live service games that this youtuber is targeting.

Swiss Alps above Adelboden. Was really cold, but took my Wifes’ nephew from the US sledding, and it was tremendous fun, glad I wore a helmet as the “intermediate” run was actually proper challenging, and I went of the sled, head first, into a massive snow drift and slid down the mountain a good 20 meters.

I get this attitude towards my sim racing. The amount of Bentlys I’ve smashed up would be worth billions, and my simrig isn’t even 1% of that.

You’re advocating for the extinction of cows, and your types adopt pets from shelters just to kill them.

To add to this. Most complaints about windows from linux users are just people who don’t know how to use windows, which is kinda embarrassing considering its the most used OS by a really big margin.

A few posts down from yours. It’s literally the same on windows if installing the windows store/xbox version.

My kid is studying physics in university, and she comes home and tells me physics anecdotes which I don’t understand, so I always reply “That’s Numberwang!”.

So I can see these types of conversations happening between math and programming types.
