This.

I am so sick of that goddamn song.

Those commercial displays are nothing but heavily stripped down TVs with anything unnecessary to being a advertising display removed. and maybe a tiny, grossly overpriced and heavily cut down computer built into it to run the slideshows/menus/whatever.

also, TVs in a certain size range are generally cheap because manufacturing has gotten to the point that each mother can produce a ton of screens for it. and the reason that cheap range size has gone up over the years is because improvements in the printing technology and the size of the mother glass.

Those typically come at commercial pricing, which is insane.

dumb TVs

Only one company makes Dumb TVs anymore, Sceptre, and the quality is very hit or miss due to the way they acquire their screens.

This is why theres an uptick in anti-firefox stuff.

Didnt hear about that one, but I do recall some stories of people playing hundreds of hours, dev making a major catastrophic change, and steam still giving the refund.

time for refunds.

Steam has refunded games that added anti-cheat that broke linux playability in the past iirc

its north koreas all the way down?

Satan 2: Infernal Boogaloo

I wonder how China feels having a North Korea on both sides of its country.

I poked around dbzer0 and found a few streaming sites, Nothing which carried anything i was particularly interested in.

Navigating this stuff without my ISP getting pissy is another hurdle, too.

It was much easier 20+ years ago when you just searched KaZaA or Limewire, or back when piratebay was the site (and before it got drowned in virus traps)

I’m more and more inclined towards the idea of piracy myself as time goes on and media continues to shave itself down into more and more ridiculous, unrelated shards, that you have to subscribe to just to be able to SEE if they have what you want.

I don’t actively do it actively since I dont really know where to begin, and things I have found have been to sketch for me, or requiring memberships or even payments to join.

the problem is so many people are willing to say they’ll take a stand.

but when the time comes, the mindnumbingly overwhelming majority suck it up, because they must have their precious shiny and can not suffer even the mildest of inconvenience.

Its my biggest gripe in gaming, but its a enormous gripe just in general, with everything. because it doesnt matter if you are talking about appliances, creative software, video games, streaming services, stores, etc.

Breaking out the alts now, huh?

If I answer that, then you’ll find all the other ones.

Oh absolutely. Thats all I post.

At least according to someones imagination.

Seem to care an awful lot, since you are still here being a pissy asshole.

Just cant resist provoking hostility to feed that persecution complex, can you.

Yes yes.

Everyone is the enemy, even if they’ve no hate or hostility, and have provided nothing but calm and rational discourse… you won’t let that stop you from imagining what they said, so you can be upset about that instead.

Because you must justify being an obnoxious ass about everything, and to everyone, to try and artificially elevate respectful discourse into screaming and skreeeeee-ing, because its the only way you can sustain your perpetual victim complex to justify yourself. Its why you do abhorrent shit like equate basic internet safety that an alarming majority of people don’t know or realize in this day and age to rape. Because using rape in this way is a great way to provoke all sorts of responses that you can self-victimize yourself with, over and over again, to wallow in your euphoria of imagined persecution.

Yes. your comment set me off so much that I made a calm, rational response about the dangers of posting online and the lack of control you have over it.

God, someone stop me. Won’t someone think of the children?

“I don’t care what some rando has to say, now let me go back to posting on the site full of randos talking to eachother. BUT THEY BETTER NOT REPLY TO ME!”
