This is exactly what I've been doing recently. These older games are basically old enough to be considered abandonware/technologically obsolete.

If I can't obtain it legally then I find it hard to be upset about obtaining it through other ways.

I watched a lot of TV and browsed the Internet on my desktop. Now I can just do these things while I'm on the go lol although I still do it just the same at home too

At my family cottage, we had it for over 40 years before getting portable ACs. Generally we just avoided the heat waves. Cold water in between your neck and shoulders really helps circulate the cooled blood throughout your body. We ended up getting portable ACs one year because we were spending a week there and it was over 95f every day. A few years later one of us took a paid early retirement package and we used some of that money to get central AC, best upgrade for our cottage ever.

Or just contact your credit card provider and say the item was never shipped, because it wasn't. Bonus points if you can prove that they never sent you a tracking number. If Etsy won't help you then fuck them.

Seems like a very sane person.

More hard drives. RAID, rotate them out when they fail, more backups too. lol

So much for the right being anti-censorship and pro free-speech lol

As if those Ukranian men aren't being forced into infantry when conscripted, give me a break. You really think they are given a choice what role they want?

Timezones are kind of a necessary evil though, because without them then you'd have to check regions (or zones) to see if 1PM in China is the same thing as 1PM in Australia is the same thing as 1PM in Bolivia.

For me, physical media takes up more space. It's a good thing and a bad thing. It takes up more space which means I need to have more space, but it's also cool having the boxes and box art etc. Ultimately, as long as I own my media and it's physically accessible to me (like located on my hard drive), then I am happy with that ownership and don't have to worry about it being taken away from me. Also, physical media can be damaged which means it's unusable entirely. With a proper RAID setup and backups, digital media can outlast physical media.

That makes this even more depressing. Sailing the high seas is the life for me.

I already picked up a bunch, not sure when I will manage to play them >_< I mostly play retro emulation games these days lol

edit: I checked and some of the ones I picked up include Team Sonic Racing, Deus Ex Mankind Divided, and Black Mesa.

I'm more worried that he won't win the election rather than he will win it. I don't think the debate changes anything about that, people are likely still going to vote who they were going to vote for. He is the not Trump vote, and it's just as important as ever if not more important to vote not Trump.

I'm genuinely scared Trump will win. I don't even live in USA and I'm scared of it happening. I could totally see Trump pulling out of NATO and then lives being lost because of it.

Based on current findings of the investigation, the attack was contained within the Corporate IT environment and there is no evidence that the threat actor gained access to our product environment or customer data.

If it were a company other than TeamViewer I'd probably believe them, but since it's TeamViewer, they could just as easily be lying since they have lied in the past about breaches IIRC.

People generally recommend Debian-based distributions because they tend to be more popular, have more applications designed first and foremost to work on them, and tend to have the most community support because they are more popular.

If I had to guess, the meme was probably made by someone who likely has English as a secondary language. I doubt there was any disrespect intended.

Now THAT'S the economy.

Not surprising at all.

In other news, GTA Online is awesome! I am definitely not a plant or anything like that, go check out GTA Online!

Or something like that.

lol

Private companies do the same, often going as far as to have whistleblowers executed. People (and especially organizations) protect their interests, even (or especially) at the expenses of others lives.
