What do you believe those reasonable red lines to be?
"We" are fighting nobody. The Ukrainians are. And as long as they want to keep fighting the invaders, it's only right to assist a country that's only defending itself.
What only happens in fairy tales are "diplomatic solutions" in a war like this one. Russia will not negotiate if they are not allowed to keep what they stole. They can't be allowed to do that. So there will not be peace until either Ukraine gives up or Russians feel continuing this war is too costly for them.
It does not. You can download and backup all your GOG installers, making the games functionally equal to games you purchased on CD ROMs back in the day. They can revoke your license all they want, they wouldn't be able to keep you from using the software you acquired this way. That makes all the difference.
The same software purchased digitally doesn't magically become a "service". Coincidentally, you can absolutely download and backup all your GOG games and then "own" them the same way you own your old CD ROMs.
Knights getting stabbed with swords through plate armor.
We're re-watching GoT and were at the Brienne/Jaime fight on the bridge, and I was just yelling at the screen. He's in rags and she's in plate, both wielding swords, he doesn't have a snowballs' chance in hell if she protects her head and just tackles him. That's what the fucking armor is for! Coincidentally that also would be way more likely to achieve her goal to subdue but not hurt him.
100% ok. Be prepared for weird stuff happening to you whenever I need a plot hook.
It would be so funny if the EU decided Sony was a gatekeeper on the consoles without disc drives and forced them to allow 3rd party app store on them.
Hey, a guy can dream.
On the other hand, if it was 107°C outside, the outrage would be so much more justified.

"Peace" with the third Reich was not preferable to opposing them in the Second World War. There are some people left who had to suffer under the Nazis, they could tell you about that.
But generally you have the right idea, we just disagree in the definition of peace. A state in which Ukraine capitulates and becomes a Russian vassal state, where political dissent is not tolerated the Ukrainian culture and language are russified and opposition is violently cast down can not be classified as peace in my opinion. It'd be the continuation of the war against the Ukrainians with different means, or more likely with very similar means but less international attention.
