  • "We all did it and we are fine!"

    Its not about addiction. Its about people that are affected by something not knowing or intentionally ignoring that they are. Is it possible that they have no effects? Sure, but the liklihood is very incredibly tiny.

    I just used Gambling Addiction as an example because I thought it would be obvious and not go over people's heads. I guess either I expected too much or my point is proven, or both.

  • I'll be real, this has the same energy as:

    "Gambling Addiction? I've been gambling for 20 years and I'm still not addicted."

    And while yes, a person could theoretically be a gambler for 20 years and not be addicted, the likelihood of that happening is very incredibly tiny.

  • It more or less did on the Series X. A lot of the clips people posted showing the really bad performance and bugs were from the original 2014 Xbox One or the Series S. On the Series X, it performed very well and I think I had it crash only twice in a 70 hour playthrough, in my own experience playing 2077 on my own Series X.

  • Even if that is legal (it isn't)

    1. Are you a lawyer?
    2. I am not a lawyer, but I have talked to lawyers about this before and their answer was basically:

    The owner of a copy of a game or other computer software may "make or authorize the making of another copy." Legally speaking, the law does not require the person who owns the copy to personally make the backup copy, nor does it specify that the backup copy be made only from the copy owned.

    This is important because on Nintendo's own website they state the following:

    Therefore, whether you have an authentic game or not [...] it is illegal to download [...] a Nintendo ROM from the Internet.

    What Nintendo is saying here is outright wrong. A person who only has only temporary possession of a game (such as rental or borrowing) gains no rights under 17 USC 117, and may not download a copy without separate permission, which obviously Nintendo would never grant However, A person with permanent possession of a game (such as a legally purchased game either from retail or used) DOES gain those rights to an archival copy. These rights supercede any restriction on those rights Nintendo would presume to apply. Nintendo presumes to add extra conditions and terms that do not actually exist in the law.

    The purpose of the archival copy provision is to protect legal owner's access to the computer software in case of damage. If your copy of a game breaks, such as a broken CD, you have the legal right, as owner of that CD, to continue to use the computer software on that CD no matter its physical condition. An archival copy could then be used to create a working version of that CD so that you, the legal owner of that copy, may continue to access that computer software. This is also the case when access to that software becomes difficult or impossible, such as a game or other computer software that is stored on archaic storage media such as a floppy disk or paper tape.

  • TLOU2 controversy wasn't because the unlikable character was a woman, it was because the writing was garbage. If the unlikable character was a man the reception would have been exactly the same.

    Also, woman characters in games hasn't been a risk since Metroid came out in 1986. It seems nowadays that the tables have turned and the vast majority of main characters in more than half of games from the past 5 years are women.

  • Honestly, I kinda wish it would come back. Forcing all manufacturers to use the same part for headlights had a singluar massive advatage that is gone now:

    You could walk into any parts store and they always had the headlight you needed in stock, on the shelf.

    Prices could be lowered dramatically as well because they were produced in such massive quantities. Sure, bulbs are more or less "cheap" now, but imagine being able to walk into any parts store and buy a pair of new LED headlights for your car for just $8 USD. You can't do that now (at least not here in California, the cheapest LED pair for lows only is like $30 at AutoZone), but you could if manufacturers had to use the same light module. And this same process could apply to any variety of other automotive parts.

    Despite the limitation of the law requiring certain modules, cars back then had their own unique styling. Just looking at them, you knew exactly what make and model it was, and sometimes even the exact year. Nowadays, with no such limitation, I find cars to be more or less the same boring blobs driving down the road with a similar silhouette and in a paint variety of black, white, or grey/silver. I have to really pay attention to the taillights if I want to identify the make/model/year.

  • The difference is that Xbox and PlayStation still allow you to access your digital games or completely reset the console and delete your accounts off the console.

    Its different with Switch 2, because now you cannot acces the digital games you legally bought. You cannot even delete your account off of the console. If you bought physical cpoies of games that don't have the data on the cart, you can't play those either on Nintendo Switch 2.
