I said it elsewhere but “domestic terrorism” as a charge is federal, and can be pardoned.

But lots of state level charges can carry a similar life sentence and be un-pardonable by presidents, current or future.

I found a couple recommendation lists to “make the game look good” because I dont need all the fancy extras like body mods and weapons and grouped them together in load order, because I knew at some stage I could just package them nicely into a ZIP if I need to uninstall Skyrim for some reason. Glad to see I was ahead of the game

“But how does this expand shareholder value”

Currently downloading everything to MO2 and setting to not check for updates huehuehue

People gonna see torrents for a “preset packages” of Skyrim mods

Kind of same, I remember making a login like dropping my bags in an empty apartment like “well this is home now” and my neighbors are trekkies and Linux, as a fan of windows and star wars. Wondering if I could hack it here. Just said fuck it we ball and started posting to try and decorate the place, hoping to be part of the Lemmy that made a difference and gets us noticed among the turmoil.

Seems like we didnt quite make it compared to BlueSky as a reddit/Twitter supplanted, but thats ok, I think in retrospect I’ve made a fair number of people happy to see my posts, and hope I have at least helped a couple of (mostly) meme communities get either noticed or traction. (Sorry jojokes, I just ran out guys, I didnt want to dig into low effort to keep posting, people deserve some standard of quality)

RiF still lives on my phone, hoping one day I can use it again.

I feel noticed and my personal need for validation has been abated, thank you JBalls

I need a search option for “most obscure controller support” so I can speedrun them with my Dark Souls certified Keytar and 7 piece drum set

But really searching by, and adding more accessibility to games is good, more accessibility is never bad. Glad we’re not listening to capital G Gaaaamers who think adding things to make games easier somehow detracts from their ability to perform (admittedly very cool) frame-perfect dodges or somehow means their practiced twitch perfect shot in CS2 is somehow meaningless because more people can…checks notes play the game

Japan sights *the only two carriers China owns, traveling together.

Sure Liaoning (a refitted soviet design) and Shandong (a newer cv based on the soviet design plan) together is a sight to see and power projection, but even more so it means they’re not elsewhere. Moving both to the same place near Japan means India and Taiwan aren’t within quick response range. I understand its just a display but this is what a party waiting to strike watches for. Not setting them in the same fleet ALSO prevents you from getting pearl-harbor’d and losing both your CVs in a single strike, should that happen.

If these 2 are going to drill together it means China may be almost ready to launch Fujian (a flat top supercarrier of China’s own design) to power project in 2 places again, and let the 2 older model designs travel together to cover any weaknesses they may have.

Depending on fuel availability and other obligations, it opens them up to some severe implications to enterprising forces. Logistically they must either weaken other theaters (like say Syria or Georgia or Kyrgyzstan) by flying them to replace the lost craft, or simply accept a weakened position with air power over Ukraine. (Assuming all are in service and none are reserve)

Even more so, Russian command will have to gauge if Ukraine is able to replicate this, and how often. If another strike like this is deemed not only possible but imminent, they will have to start using an airbase even further from the front, driving fuel costs up to deliver the same payloads. Additionally, increased flight time means less chance the target will be caught unprepared for your arrival and allows more time to relocate mobile AA to respond to your (now much longer and obvious) flight path.

Edit: The TU-95 (the nuclear capable bigboi) has a fuel range of 15k km (9300mi) so these were already well within range, just flight times will be longer.

If I recall the feud correctly, Eddings previously worked on Claptrap as a favor for free (or next to it). As far as the back and forth on Twitter indicates, when he said he wanted “Id like to be paid this time”, Pitchford initially pushed back, and then offered “2x union rates” (whether Pitchford actually offered that or said it on twitter afterward to garner sympathy we may never know), but Eddings refused the offer since gearbox was (at the time) about to make its 3rd lootershooter in a monsterously successful chain and he was one of the most prominent side characters. Thats what triggered Pitchford to attempt to intimidate him in front of a hotel elevator.

Bro is a blight on Gearbox. And no one is sure how or why the board hasn’t gotten rid of him.

I’m not gonna sit and tell a man he can’t have a kink preference in his own home on his own time.

But Jesus fuck on the company thumb drive? Bro is a ceo and cant afford a “personal folder” usb. Here $12 for a 128Gb one on Amazon is not uncommon And then to be so distracted he forgot it.

Randy pitchford?

THAT Randy Pitchford? The Randy Pitchford that, because he loves magic tricks, downloaded himself some squirt porn (sfw youtube link to moistcritical) on the same thumb drive as company secrets, and then left it at a Medieval Times? The same Randy that grabbed the Claptrap VA by the junk because he was tired of voicing Claptrap for free and had the audacity to ask to be paid so Pitchford tried to intimidate him? The same Randy Pitchford that somehow “lost” millions dollars of Segas money causing Colonial marines to bomb so that they could fund Borderlands 2 and Duke Nukem Forever He’s also not above putting journalists who bad mouth him in his games as petty revenge.

Fuck that guy. Fuck anything he says.

Is there anywhere to download this before the taping goes missing

“Selected for the lottery sale”

Goddamn that’s like the ps5. "Be a good little corpo shill and might WIN a CHANCE at being honored with the opporunity to give a us $500!

Ah the old “In these trying times” once again!

I didn’t know we were watching Watership Down in class today?

Not even that, currently games for say, ps5 download some from the disk, some from online.

This Key-card fuckery means they can now lock the online downloaded portion of that game and now this can be used to prevent the second owner from downloading it with the same code

Publishers have boogiemanned Used Games for fucking decades and now they’re taking another swipe to kill them.

This was posted elsewhere but it’s relevant to mention the US already stated it would sell inferior versions of jets. Im sure these countries realised the current US mentality of “why stop there” and will probably cost cut further - lesser quality munitions and firearms, land vehicles, specialty fuels, etc.

Also in the face of tariffs and regular insults, being less inclined to purchase from someone increasingly hostile to them. This isn’t “out of the blue”, it’s the response step.
