This is the first one I've read that feels over explained. I think this would be funnier if it didn't have the "when birds don't read" text.

Mortal Kombat. I know it's technically inferior but I find the style and characters a lot of fun.

Or just go out and get COVID, easy.

I mean, that's very uncommon. TTW is notorious for taking a long time to install. Most installers that are not bizarrely CPU heavy will work fine.

It’s also occasionally easier to install non-Steam games on a desktop and transfer over the files but that’s mostly just about saving time.

And honestly that would be solved with a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard.

They're also doing the same thing with Google Play - arguing that collecting user emails for osm login doesn't count as collecting data.

D3 at launch had no endgame at all, much like D2. It was just farm bosses in the campaign until you got better gear to move to the next difficulty, rinse and repeat. Now, it did take longer because the game was balanced around the auction house. You were incredibly unlikely to find gear that would carry you into the next difficulty, so buying gear was generally the strategy to get you to the next difficulty. Then you could sell the gear you farmed there. It wasn't really an issue on Normal/Nightmare, but it was on Hell/Inferno.

Ha fair point. I'd argue though that if you never, say, took the steps of getting to the NFL then you didn't make an "attempt."

But yeah, in your analogy it's more like his team didn't make it to the playoffs.

To be fair, that balance of progression in D3 didn't come until Reaper of Souls. Should they have learned from it? Yeah. But D4 is honestly in a better place than D3 was at launch.

I didn't even think about the software costs. Makes sense. The whole "you don't really own your games."

Albino is only used as a term when it's a deviation from the species norm usually. There are all white cave bugs.

Eh, you're talking what, $1500 for a headset and rig? Even if you have 4 setups at one of those kiosks the cost to have someone running it is going to quickly outpace the cost of the hardware.
