Web search used to be about scraping the web to find and present other people’s work as just that… their work. Now the handful of websites claim ownership of the contributions of everyone, and at this point it’s just corporations arguing about who owns your stuff. Pirates will not win out in this argument, except maybe in the very short term.

Both are great games, with 1 being a little rough around the edges but still very playable. The gameplay is different enough that it’s worth playing them both imo. Story might be better if you play 1 first, but I played through 2 first, then went back later to play 1 and was pleasantly surprised how good it was.

I probably vehemently disagree with some recommendations to play BG 1 and 2 btw, your mileage may vary. It requires very specific builds and knowledge of DnD, or lots of trial and error. You can easily build a well rounded group and find yourself unable to progress because of lacking one very specific thing. If that doesn’t sound to annoying, it might be worth a shot. If nothing else, rolling characters is fun.

I didn’t see these in the list:

Wyldermyth - indie fairly unique story building campaign with turn based tactical combat.

Wastelands 3 - post apocalyptic RPG with good story, choices, and characters. Great tactical turn based combat. Other than the other Larian games this is closest to filling the BG 3 shaped hole.

Halo Master Chief Collection; 1 - 3, Reach, and ODST are amazing co-op. We’ve played through all of them multiple times. 4 is… disappointing.

Holy fuck, that’s horrible

Was there not a whole team? It’s not a solo procedure.

Huh, the quote with context is actually much worse than the headline. I’m impressed.

Not sure why you’re being down voted. It’s a legit question even if you support the law. Enforcement seems very difficult and other laws and courts make even easier enforcement difficult.

I still think it’s a very positive direction from the FTC.

Logitech mice always get better with age, they give you extra clicks for free with each touch of the button!

Wow, that’s one more season that I knew about, assumed it’d never go beyond the first.

So to fix that all they need to do is endanger some trees? Seems easy enough to fix.

Who actually pulled the trigger? Who paid to go trophy hunting? Who paid so much to go trophy hunting that it counter balances all of the funds that would come from tourism and preservation organizations?

Also, half the article that discusses support for trophy hunting still doesn’t explain why this specific occurrence was allowed, even if all of the general justification are both valid and reasonable.

I get the attitude that when mocking shitbags anything is fair game, but this sort of thing lumps in Innocent people with the shitbag.

What books were they going to give away?

We don’t know

What books are banned?

We don’t know

… Sounds super legit

Not that it would’ve been ok anyway, but you can hardly even call it a smokescreen.
