I cancelled mine last month, it was literally a couple of clicks. I got some ads about "all the things I would be losing" for some time after and that was it.

Truthfully 800, but there is an old model that costs "only" 300...

Thing is, Intel is 100% losing money on this, and they're willing to lose money to gain any modicum of market share, but AMD has no such concern/incentive. But we shall see about the RX 8000 and how they're going to do, considering they dropped top of the line and are allegedly focusing on fighting Nvidia on their turf (rt and ai features), maybe they'll have something nicely cooked for us. I'm really happy with my RX 6750 XT though, playing everything new 1080p high at 60+.

PoE2 works really fine on a controller, some even say the game seems to be made for a controller first.

Yes, it's amazing. Indy feels and plays like indy. Some of the parts in the late game made me even see how much he reacts like Indy to things. Also, the puzzles are interesting, the story is good, voice acting is mind boggling incredible, and even the action feels on point. I'm 50h into the game and still not finished (playing on max difficulties and going after every puzzle), even fights can feel really good when you have to plan every single step of the fight or else you get smoked in 3 seconds.

Innocent is stretching quite a bit the definition of that word, maybe the children, but only truly if they were very young. And no, you don't need to be a psychopath, you just need to be tired of all the bullshit in this world. When the heads started to roll in France during the revolution, were all the people involved psychopaths? Most likely not. Anger is a powerful motivator. But I guess someone who is such an apologist for a billionaire CEO who ruined the lives of many couldn't possibly understand how deep hatred can run.

"Your husband and dad was a POS and made the lives of thousands of people worse, and some certainly died because of the way he decided to operate his company. He deserved to die. And, quite frankly, he should have suffered some more in his death. I truly only hope that as he laid there bleeding to death, all the evil he had done weighed upon his conscience, and that he knew he had it coming."

Yes, because you're biased. Killing and eating what you kill is not wrong, it's natural and historical. Although many would wish we humans were superior species placed above the natural order, we're clearly not. You can choose to believe it's wrong to kill and eat animals, but that's your own personal opinion formed in modern, likely western, society. What is actually wrong are industrial practices of scale that brutalize food production, an indigenous population or small culture following the practices of their ancestors and doing some hunting is not evil, or morally wrong, or damaging to the environment. It's just the way the natural world was always supposed to work.

No account making from the game itself, it's a fully offline single-player game. However, if the copy you got is from Microsoft store, you might have to make a Microsoft account.

You missed the time to upgrade, last year there was a craze going around on gpu discounts, Kabum and Pichau had deals all the time. I bought a 6750 XT for 2400 reais, and a month later it was down to just 1950 reais, the 6600 was selling for little over 1100 reais. And even some Nvidia gpus were with good prices, I remember the 3060 12gb selling for less than 1400 reais.

I played PoE2 for a couple of days after release, but have recently picked up the new Indiana Jones after cancelling my game pass subscription (gotta finish before my timer runs out). I've been having a blast with the game though. Playing on hard combat + hard exploration has made the game very realistic to me. The puzzles are adequately challenging, taking at most a few minutes to solve even without hints, but they do feel good, all very logical.

He actually did. I can barely tell it's not Ford doing the voice acting.

I played a lot of TA as a kid, didn't know the devs had made a new RTS, but the art style from the game in the link sure looks very reminiscent of TA.

To me it feels like FromSoftware's take on Risk of Rain, and I'm here for it.

Someone could make something out of that...

I imagine you could buy a bunch of similar Jackets and distribute them to the homeless in an area prior to doing anything, and just crash with them for some time after.

Let me tell you why this isn't fraud:

1. Teens makes a memecoin on a legit crypto platform (as legit as they can get)
2. Teens buys X amount of his own memecoin for 350 bidens
3. People that like to invest on memecoins (aka idiots/gamblers) bought into the coin
4. Coin value goes up
5. Teen sees that the X amount of coins he has is now worth 30k
6. He sells it on a legit trading platform, cashes in on 30k
7. Because he sold a huge amount at once, market is flooded, coin goes down in value
8. The other gamblers that were looking into doing the exact same shit got mad at him

I'm not saying crypto isn't a scam, as memecoins are textbook pyramid schemes (buy in early for low, sell as soon as it's worth it cashing in on the idiots who bought late), but the way this works can't be defined as fraud because it's simply how the whole stock market works.

That reads as an excuse, "they are not really capitalists" type of argument. Yes, they are. They sell products, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta... They all sell products, they are all capitalists to the very core. It's just that, one of their products is us.

That part of the support email almost made me puke of how fucking awful it was. "Why complain about ads when you get YouTube Music for free by paying us money"

It's only bad if it's not an USian company, didn't you get the memo?
