Awesome news! Rock on, Denuvo, and make those filthy thieves even angrier lol .
Playing a copy of a game isn't a lost sale. Greedy publishers only have themselves to blame with regional pricing. Some people get massive discounts because of where they live where others pay more. If you're going to treat people unfairly you can expect to be repaid in kind. Why should I pay $80 for the exact same product someone in Asia or South America pays $10 for? Fuck the publishers.

I am literally the only person I know who liked the first one and is looking forward to the second one.
I know I like some trash movies...but is it really that bad to everyone else or is the press just crushing it?

Are you regularly getting sprayed with DDT or rolling in asbestos?

Has she done anything recently? Some romcom, IIRC.

1. Fuck Boeing. The NTSB and the FAA need to leverage fines in the billions toward Boeing. Make those fines actually effective in changing the course of Boeing.
2. Puppies are always cuter than birds. No contest.
3. Oh fuck, yet another J. Lo crapfest? I can't think of a single movie she has "starred" in that was made better because of her participation. The Cell was good in spite of her presence, not because of it. And that was because the visuals and audio did 99% of the heavy lifting.

You sir, ma'am, xer, or wtf ever, have fallen wayyyyy off the deep end. You will deny this, but please, take a self assessment and get out of your bubble. Or at least seek help. Maybe 988 can help.
Prez wrote on Mar 9, 2024, 18:48:Not only is it true, but it's empirically proven.
The problem with simply relying on laws of the land, at least here in the US, is two-fold. Firstly, the laws are heavily in favor of businesses. I know that many will be aghast upon hearing that but it's true. Secondly there is a huge amount of wiggle room allowed for by labor law for it to protect workers from a lot of what corporations do. There is an ocean of difference between what a company can legally do and what is the ethical thing to do.
Multivariate analysis indicates that economic elites and organized groups representing business interests have substantial independent impacts on U.S. government policy, while average citizens and mass-based interest groups have little or no independent influence. The results provide substantial support for theories of Economic-Elite Domination and for theories of Biased Pluralism, but not for theories of Majoritarian Electoral Democracy or Majoritarian Pluralism.

Really? I always thought he had...Bette Davis eyes....
I like Cillian's work but he's not physical enough for James Bond. Even Roger Moore as the gentleman James Bond still had physicality about him, probably from his days as The Saint. Then again I wouldn't have thought Brosnan would have made a good James Bond but he did. If Idris Elba was 20 years younger he would have made an awesome Bond. Cavill maybe? But he's done so much as Superman, the Witcher, et al. I don't know I could see him as Bond. Most of the guys I think would be good in the role are already too old for it. Aaron Taylor-Johnson is probably the best candidate for it IMO. Richard Madden would be a good fit too.
