Love the expression of the guy on the left. Probably describes everything you need to know about the encounter.

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.

I'm not sure I'd buy a phone with a permanently etched message/advertisement from the manufacturer to other people.

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.

I've read that human skin particles make up a significant portion of household dust.

.... Are you a robot?

It's always the top 10 once enough people chime in, because any can work and it's easy enough to install or select what you need on most of them. (I'd probably recommend mint).

But... hardware is probably more important. Cutting edge GPU might not have good drivers yet. AMD is probably going to be much better supported. Networking you're probably good now, but getting more popular stuff means it's more likely to already have had the kinks worked through years ago. If you play popular multiplayer shooters with shitass anti cheat malware it probably won't work.

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.

Maybe Gary Busey
