It’s funny because when he gets that curious/inquisitive look, we say he’s got his mouse face on.

Ha, we did this for one cat and now every time any show comes on with even the smallest bird chirp, she runs to the TV and waits for it to come back.

Nuclear block plus a culture of not feeding the trolls means the only toxic accounts I’ve run across are just a day or two old. Block and move on. The experience can only be as negative as each user lets it be.

That cat has a quest for you.

Probably involving fetching some treats.

Something like 63% of the US population identifies as Christian. That number is over 75% in Latin America.

If they really wanted more Christians, they’d welcome the immigrants. But that’s just an excuse to cover for the racism.

They’re streaming in the 3d world detail, but the rendering engine is installed locally.

Playing on xCloud will just stream in the visuals that are rendered remotely, so a lot less bandwidth, but then you have the lag, and need a subscription.

Legally, it’s still a license, it’s just effectively impossible to revoke.

Edit to expand on this: A truly offline forever-purchase of physical goods can be re-sold. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-sale_doctrine (this is the US-specific version, other jurisdictions may have similar doctrines).

American legal concept that limits the rights of an intellectual property owner to control resale of products embodying its intellectual property.

A digital “purchase” is usually non-transferable, even from GOG. It can’t be removed from your own HDD once you download the installer, but there are still restrictions attached on what you can do with it, even if those are limited and hard to enforce.

Tencent and Guillemot combined are considering a buyout of other shareholders. Most of that is Guillemot, with Tencent increasing their share very slightly from 9.2% to 10%.

Nintendo patents video game inventory system.

Not the onion.

(Not a patent lawyer, and I’m sure it’s more complicated than that, but come on)

Rice is great if you’re really hungry and want to eat two thousand of something.

Sounds like just the publishing side was affected. Lots of other independent developers are kind of in limbo in the short term, which does suck.

Hopefully they can get out of any contracts and go to a publisher not associated with that family.

They do point out that they will be monitoring how it’s used, and could adjust things later.

Sounds like corporate-speak for “if people abuse this, we’ll lock it down harder.”

Even if people are using it to share with actual family around the country, they may get caught up in future updates that remove that feature. Also note that any publisher can opt out of the sharing. If EA or Ubi or some other big company doesn’t like the lack of limits, they may be able to force Valve’s hand in changing the policy.

The idea is wonderful, but there are a ton sof ways this could end up worse than the old system.

Harvey Dent finally meets his soul mate.

Man I just don’t get modern art.

Gameboy Advance had single-pak link (buy one copy, play with up to 4 linked devices) 20 years ago.

Greed has defeated the technology, though.

How dare my meddling not work out, you’re all fired!

Yeah, it’s not that the fraudsters got past the red tape, there just wasn’t any to begin with.

It was all honor system, and with billions of dollars at stake, honor is the first thing to go.
