You’re not wrong, but when you compare the general perspective of baby boomers vs the general perspective of Millennials/Zoomers, you can at least see that there now exists a will for change.

I like to think that maybe Ursula LeGuin was able to play a role in that change through her words.

I’m not sure that would be the best solution. A cheater could still get caught cheating 6 times before requiring a repurchase, and it’s still a pretty harsh penalty for someone who didn’t cheat. You keep your game, but you can no longer share your library if your family situation changes.

‘Sorry, son, you can’t play my games on your computer because daddy made a bad decision when he was 21.’

The ultimate solution is probably an online identity when playing any game. Imagine if cheating got you banned from all online games for 5 years.

Yeah, it’s most likely to prevent someone from using the family feature to get away with cheating.

As it stands now, if you get caught cheating you must create a new account and repurchase the game. So the main deterrent is the full cost of a game.

With the steam family function you could potentially create 5 new accounts per year, and simply remove them when they get caught cheating. The only deterrent would be the wait period.

So I agree with their decision. The downside is that you must trust someone before adding them to your family. If your cheating son gets you kicked off counterstrike, then just remove him from your family. They’re never too old to drop off at the fire station.

Some of y’all didn’t grow up in the southeastern US and it shows.

Not all of the teachers in my school were unreasonable narcissistic sadists, but about half of them were.

His role in The Frankenstein Chronicles always made me chuckle.

I think I saw that on Crunchyroll

Maybe the cat was a Japanese businessman in a former life.

Haven’t we all, though?

Even older than that

My entry point into Star Wars was KotOR so I’ve always been pretty critical of the average Star Wars media. I really enjoyed Rogue One, Andor, Mandalorian S1&2, and Clone Wars S7. Star Wars can deliver sometimes.

With a budget of $180M I was hopeful that Acolyte could be great, and it hasn’t delivered yet.

But this is 200 years before the fall. We’re supposed to see how the Jedi lost their way. This is just a bunch of incompetent assholes with authority. The witches call them kidnappers and they barely deny it while nearly embodying it. Where’s the honor? Where’s the mysticism? Why must we continually suffer this bag of dicks while being told ‘this is what they were always supposed to be.’

Well, according to China, those waters are their territory, which means that the presence of foreign military vessels is an invasion.

Practically speaking, I think you could call that area a contested region, so minor skirmishes like this are expected and could escalate to war (like Crimea eventually did).

I think that the Philippines approach has been something like, ‘You can claim those waters if you want, but you can’t possibly keep us from entering them, so we’re just going to ignore you until you start killing our people, and then we’re gonna call in big brother America.’

They did the Jedi so dirty. The council members are petty, the masters can’t defend themselves against a sith apprentice, and the knights are constantly taking Ls on screen. The only one who seems mostly competent so far is the padawan Jecki.

Maybe it’s someone who just happened to be hanging around

I’m more interested in seeing him kill a couple of the unnamed Jedi. Hopefully they handle it better then the first fight scene.

After the first 3 episodes felt like a 00’s Disney teen sitcom I considered giving up on this show, but this week felt more coherent to me. The forests of Khofar is the best locale so far, the conversational writing has improved and so the acting feels more natural (mostly). I’m still not thrilled that the Jedi Order is being portrayed as mostly antagonistic, and I’m a bit concerned that the best episode so far is one in which very little happens, but the last scene actually has me excited for next week. Here’s hoping that the second half overshadows the rocky start.

India is one of the last places I’d like to visit. This is based on how India has been portrayed in various travel shows over the years (Amazing Race, Top Gear). It looks crowded, dirty, and the locals often aren’t very friendly, especially towards women.

One of your main exports to the west is scam calls. It’s a huge PR problem and your government refuses to address it. Your other main export right now is Russian oil.

Indians used to have a fairly large online presence in English-speaking spaces with mixed results. There were a lot of helpful tech bros on YouTube, but also a lot of horny dudes on Facebook. I don’t really see much of either of those anymore though.

My wife works in software testing and has regular interactions with Indians. Some are really nice, but others are really not. Misogyny is far too common and when Indians are rude they are boldly rude.

It may be a bit early to make this call, but I’m ready to retcon this entire show out of canon. It makes too many bold new assertions about the Star Wars IP without grasping the basics of the lore. It then compounds these missteps with lackluster choreography, cheesy writing, a horribly misguided plot, and several lapses in logic that not even Dave Filoni could explain away if you gave him a 7 season animated series. And it’s only been 3 episodes.

Lee Jung-jae’s back must really hurt after carrying this entire show alone. I wouldn’t blame him if he never worked with western media ever again.

Wait, no. Those kids can’t be highschool graduates already, right? Sandy Hook wasn’t 11 years ago, was it? WAS IT?

I’m a plate DPS main and I married a healer. There is a lot of pressure to ‘just tank’ for her.
