If the fine is not a fixed amount but actually gets more expensive the more money you have it actually is quite nice though

Always enjoy those stories about millionaires paying some big sums for speeding tickets in Switzerland

If you pirate stuff they can sue you to the ground but if a fine is not related to total income or wealth it’s just something to be ignored.

Can’t understand why not more people lobby for fines to be proportional in general…

China is not a country that gives subsidies but a corporation that invests in branches it wants to grow

I’d imagine the situation is more dire to those filmmakers and journalists that do narration as a job

Why would you need them if you can just use the voice of an AI impersonating famous speakers like this

I mean I still have my Gmail account in my mail clients - just every time I get an email on it that’s not spam I go to the account settings and change the mail account there

I haven’t gotten a mail on it in almost a year so I think I’ll unplug it and only login if needed

Also every bit of atomic energy we use now humans have to pay for for centuries to keep the waste safe

Normally these guys are all about passive income and buying over subscriptions and things like this but if your actions lead to generations having to pay for it suddenly it’s not as bad…

I guess it depends on what pedophilia is in the end of how it’s developed.

If it’s more like a sexual preference then it’s probably there already when someone is born and not changeable, but if it’s more like a fetish then those are (afaik) related to experiences and exposures while growing up and actually can change and develop over time - and in that case it could be really dangerous to have that kind of material floating around freely.

I said it’s ads or selling data - it can be any combination of those 3 factors

It’s either this or ads or selling your data

An inventory management button that would automatically distribute wares to the character with the least carried stuff would already hope a lot - especially if we would be able to save that every cup, fork, etc would automatically be marked as wares and if there was a way to mark multiple things as wares at the same time (and if " sell all wares" would sell everything from all inventories present and not just for the talking character)

Selling wares remotely that are in camp and having an option to automatically send everything marked as wares to camp would also help a lot

I feel as if BG3 could do a lot more with the “wares” marker to make the weight limit less annoying

Moving cups and plates from one char to another just isn’t fun

The only thing annoying with BG3 is that “sell all wares” only refers to those at the current character

I’d have liked it if stuff marked as wares would always be automatically distributed between the characters (or that there was a button to do this)

Also why can I select multiple items at once and move them between characters but not mark multiple items as wares?

Why can’t I save that every cup I pick up should go to wares automatically?

I feel as if BG3 could’ve made the whole carrying thing far less annoying with ways to do less inventory management

Even a lot of the AAA single player games have day 1 DLCs with skins or 15 different deluxe packages for preorder or something similar though

Doesn’t need to be the in-game microtransactions but it’s very rare today that everyone starts out with the same stuff in AAA games today

I’d guess that the series X would need to show at least full HD

With the Steamdeck it only needs 720p which is a pretty big gain in performance

I think the most important part is that it launched without DRM on GOG and was able to be pirated from day 1 and it STILL was a huge success because people knew that the game isn’t trying anything shady to get even more money from you

It’s just something people actually want to support and not like people feel like even if they buy the game they only have half an experience if they don’t spend more money later

I really hope the next financial report from Larian is making people think differently about the necessity of putting aggressive DRM in their games

People don’t pirate because they don’t want to pay - they pirate because they don’t trust the game to bit pull more shady shit later and not be worth it in the end

I really hope they take a good look and overthink their approach even if that means more delays.

With their last games their track record looks more as if they are about to make a new Assassin’s Creed game as the next Dragon Age Installment

That’s why we now get a new fancy cryptocurrency

Also read that Microsoft is holding the trademark on ‘X’ because of DirectX, X-Box, etc…

I wonder how long until Elon pulls the “it’s just a joke bro”

But you won’t save more tax with this that you lost money with it?

How would this ever make sense especially given that inflation is a thing?

The only he I possibly see myself preordering in the forseeable future (haven’t preordered anything in the last 10 years since I really dislike buying something you don’t know)

Some feature which I absolutely need which for some reason is not part of most task apps is to repeat tasks based on the completion date instead of the start date.

Dumb example: If I have a task to water my plants every week and I do it after 4 days already then the next due date is in 10 days instead of the 7 I’d want
