Perhaps there's a danger that, by normalising self-identification as a thief, campaigns like this might have unanticipated societal results.

I'd hate to see shoplifting/burglary/mugging stats climbing in a few years time.

Ah yes, a statement on copyright thanking someone for buying an authorised edition of Great Expectations, a book whose copyright expired in 1940 at the latest...

Sure, but there's not much they can do about it if things are properly encrypted, for example using DKE on M365.

Not that I disagree with the rest of your comment, but

No way any normal person would say no to 2mil.

No way would I want the stress or weight on my conscience of having just stolen 2 mil.

In my opinion, anyone who would take that money is the abnormal one.

I mostly use desktop mode for messing about with things like emudeck and creating and forgetting an su password.

I'm no spring chicken myself. I started gaming on the Atari VCS, so I'm no stranger to bad graphics.

As for a third person camera, I've not actually played the game yet, but it is apparently possible to pay through the game in third person mode.

Ok. I'm just pointing out that it's a "true" RPG, so if you want to play it as a Kung Fu comedy, you can.

Play as a monk. Bone a bear.

The best architecture for desert cities in the US:

Don't build cities in deserts. There's tonnes of space in parts of the country that aren't actively trying to kill you for half the year.

I watched his Hit and Run remake videos from the beginning, and it's not really about the end product - he made it clear from the beginning that that project was never going to be released.

Mostly, it seems to be about selling his "learn how to make Unreal games" courses and Unreal plugins.

The videos were fun in their own right, to be honest.

This won't do anything to cut any costs.

This is all about enshittifying the free experience to push those on the edge to finally bite the bullet and start paying.

Wow, if they haven't already cleared this with the existing company or lawyers, this is embarrassing.

Wouldn't you do a quick search as an early step in any branding exercise?
