Feels like everything from Japan either belongs to Sony or Kadokawa already. If this goes through, Sony will will pretty much own everything made in Japan. Not just Elden Ring, but all sorts of stuff from Rpg Maker to a ton of anime.

Two games I was looking forward to, both launching on the same day. One has Denuvo (civ 7), the other has not (KCD2). Guess which one I'm going to be playing.

I'm gonna go on "no stupid question" and ask why my old hard drives aren't doubling in size.

In all seriousness, what kind of stuff could actually have you be locked up on a mental facility in the US?

That kinda makes sense. At the same time, Brazil is just as young as USA but we have a ton of "old-ish" culture here. The beliefs and stories of the native population merged in with the ones from several incoming cultures and it's now hard to really separate them, as some are much older than the country itself but are clearly inspired by stories from the old world as well. Some mythical creatures that are good examples of this: Saci, Curupira and the Headless Mule.

The fact that a simple OS update can make the CPU up to 13% more effective makes me wonder how much performance difference there is between Windows and Linux.

Since I have dual boot, I'll check later if I can find any benchmark tool that works on both so I can compare.

I work with typescript on a very large codebase. If I have the code editor open and the run a typecheck at the same time, plus some electron apps and Spotify playing, it can easily fill my 32GB of ram, so 64 would be the next cool number to not have to worry about ram ever.

My guess is that the motive is the same as every school shooting, except that shooting at schools became too normie now.

And if there has to be shootings, I personally wouldn't mind replacing the usual targets to politicians instead of school kids.

In Portuguese we don't use many acronyms, but we have shorter versions of words with the vowels removed or things like that. When people tried to use acronyms we ended up with "fds" which some people read as weekend, others read as "fuck it". The only other acronyms I can think of right now are all for offenses such as fdp (son of a bitch) and cdf ("ass of iron", very old term for calling someone a nerd).

You're gonna have to put more effort than that. The world has more examples of socialism working than failing, so you're gonna need to back your claims up with some examples of why it would be impossible.

I started cycling on the wrong side of the road because I can be responsible for my own safety that way. I can't count the number of times I've been endangered by some driver acting like I wasn't on the road at all while going on the right side.

Because it impresses people and so it sells. If they didn't do that, all those EAs and Ubisofts would have to find a new selling point like making their games good or something.
