The best thing about online games is the opportunity for Mats, and others like him, to be who he truly was. Once you find the right group of people, it doesn’t what color your skin is, what’s between your legs, what your physical advantages/disadvantages are. All that mattered was your character and your determination. And you aren’t limited by your geography even. You can interact with people all over the world and enrich yourself along with enriching themselves by providing a brief glimpse in each others lives. It’s actually a beautiful thing how many stories there are like this one there are out there. Games like WoW enabled Mats to be the person who he truly was before he passed. It’s a bittersweet moment for the parents. I hope it gives them the closure they need.

Essentially, the new law will mean that storefronts like Steam will no longer be able to use terms such as “buy” or “purchase” when advertising a game that always requires an online connection. Since you won’t technically own the product and servers being taken offline would render the product useless, a different word will have to be used.

The official phrasing in the bill’s summary reads, it will “prohibit a seller of a digital good from advertising or offering for sale a digital good, as defined, to a purchaser with the terms buy, purchase, or any other term which a reasonable person would understand.”

That’s actually a very good reason IMO.

Except if the person decides to harass or stalk you in real life after reading the reasons. These aren’t hypotheticals, these things happen.

This sounds like a good idea on paper but will likely be terrible in real life. A lot of people ghost for their own safety. So many people have stories of dates turning nasty if they feel like they’re being rejected or criticized. Being forced to describe what you don’t like about the other person will not always end well.

They couldn’t find a better picture for the article?

Like just imagine Kratos in a top hat:

“Hello my baby, Hello my Honey, hello my ragtime gal!”

Oh, thank goodness. Just need to deal with the psychological trauma as I blow up names on the list and try to dissociate from the fact that these are people and I’ve become a mass murderer in the name of corporate profits. Hope they have good mental health coverage!

You all heard the man. Get off your asses and your lives of leisure to go fight and die for some random oil company!

I know. Just people on these kinds of positions used to have the brains to just ignore this stuff and pretend it doesn’t happen.

Was this guy born yesterday? You don’t “ask” the internet for anything like this. Just adds more fuel to the fire.

Maybe I’m too Canadian to understand but where on earth are you able to build a decent gaming PC able to play the latest AAA games on high graphics for $700?

No really, please tell me. I want to upgrade my PC.

Edit: For everyone trying to explain it to me.

1. There’s more to a PC than a CPU and GPU. Those of you giving me only those 2 that make up more than half of the $700 are kind of reinforcing my point.

2. The key thing here is running AAA games on high settings using this budget. You can’t really do that.

What a piece of shit.
