That’s funny, I didn’t like it because it was too relaxing. I like games that take a lot of focus and concentration, but stardew valley didnt do it for me.

I’d argue it’s the advertisers and their hosts that are fooling you. Though I’m sure they’d be happy to know your stance on their practices.

Absolutely. If they charge me money before I get that hotdog in my hand, then I’m all for it. If they try to put an ad flyer in my other hand as they give me the hotdogs, im not going to hold onto it. Alas the hotdog is already in my hand

Why do you think it is the responsibility of the user to fund youtube’s server costs? Youtube is free. If it wasn’t, it would require a login with presumably a subscription fee like Netflix or Max. Youtube’s work around is to push ads and offer a subscription for an ad free experience. They created a problem for their users, then offered a paid solution. Many people accept that mainly because they either don’t know how to block ads from their end (or cant), or like you they think they owe youtube something. There is nothing unethical about choosing what information is downloaded onto your hardrive from the web.

Not sure what adblocker has to do with piracy, but the right to use adblocker is an even easier argument to make. I don’t see why anyone shouldn’t be able to parse through files downloaded from an http request however they want. I doubt most people read every bit of text from every web page they visit, why make an exception for ads? That’s like feeling obligated to reading every bit of junk mail that makes it way into your mailbox after you sign up for a new credit card.

I’ve not seen many pirates say that they expect companies to roll over and give them stuff. The biggest push for piracy I’ve seen is because companies refuse to sell their products. It’s all licenses to use which can be revoked at any time. Many people aren’t interested in licenses and since there is no legal way to actually purchase most games or movies, that just leaves pirating.

Splinter Cell is another that is stealth based. It can be much more tedious than ghost recon, but has a lot more options for being stealthy.

I had to poop really bad the other day. I had to make a run for it and didn’t have time to grab my phone first. I was in and out in like 2 minutes!

I thinks it’s weird when people choose to make their online profiles open to the public then get upset when people view their content.

I think the worst thing about their subscription price is that it is very close to the same price as WoW or FF14, but with runescape you can only have 1 character. If you enjoyed a quest or lower level content, you have to create a new account with its own subscription. If you want to try an Ironman or hardcore character, that’s a whole other account and subscription.

I downloaded Newpipe from the Fdroid app store and it works very similar go freetube

Elden Ring censors the word finger

I may have to try it again some day. I thought the story and world was interesting and engaging. I played without guides and despite trying to explore and do everything while following the main story line, I soon found myself extremely underleveled to enemies. I thought it was hilarious that each person in the game is assigned a color based on their role in the colony so sometimes you meet someone who is introduced a being “a black”

I really loved playing ps2 military shooters like SOCOM and Conflict Desert Storm. It would be fun to see how those games would be made today.

I always assumed that’s what the saying was alluding to? That of you’re unsure about something, then you should weigh both the pros and cons and use what you learned to make a decision. At least that’s how I’ve always thought of it

Some things are truly just up to personal preference. “Agree to disagree” is a perfectly valid thing to say when discussing how to cook a steak in my opinion.

Real time, but you can pause to plan strategies

It’s actually come a long way since it first became available. I remember playing 10 years ago and some animals like deer didn’t have walking animations and would hop around the map

I’m pretty sure he said he wasn’t going to run for a 2nd term on the Smartless podcast
