It could just be me, cause today is an insomnia day, but I don't give a shit about Hong Kong. China is a boorish dick. China has always been a boorish dick. Why is anyone surprised when they act like boorish dicks?

I'm going to assume you haven't been paying attention to the news and what's been happening in Hong Kong.

You assume incorrectly.

But you can not fault Activision for doing what companies do here, they are legally required to prevent any harm that comes to their investors.

But what if I wanted to buy it on EGS...

EGS says you're not allowed. Indies can only participate if they sign an exclusivity agreement.

I blame the publisher.

The exclusivity for indies is 100% an EGS requirement. Ask Beamer, he can explain the 'reasoning' behind it.

It's well known at this point anyway ever since 1 indie leaked the emails.

What emails are these?

Because you didn't google it yourself I link you to kotaku

Um, I did search for it, but all I got was results about leaked email addresses and passwords.

I know.... because I had to trudge through 10 pages of garbage to find that link to remember the name of the dev and game. "DarQ dev egs email" is what you need to search

But please try to buy from GOG first, if a game is available on this store, too.

Only reason I sometimes don't buy on GoG is that GoG users tend to get screwed on updates... Factorio being a good example. GoG users also get screwed when mods for the game in question primarily go through steam workshop.

At least the former is definitely publisher sloppiness if they do not submit the patches to GOG. I doubt that someone at GOG deliberately refuses to upload patches. If so that would be a reason to boycott GOG.

The latter is a community issue but that's just the way that Steam elitists tick. There shall be no God beside Steam. That's why Steam elitist modders only upload to and support their stuff on Steam. They want everyone to join the one and only exclusive Steam cult. GOGers are inferior, unworthy lepers.

Ok, so to play a game I already fucking OWN I am required sign up for yet ANOTHER service and forced to allow bunghole access to my BATTLENET account and my STEAM account, and accept a entirely new EULA and type in the words "I agree to the terms" or choose to never play the game again or get my money back.

And if I do this, I cant even play the game when I want because I have to wait in a queue for god knows how long.

HOW THE FUCK IS THIS OK?

That Joaquin Phoenix outtake was really unfortunate. The dude was in one of the better moods I've seen him in on late night, and that clip just killed his spirit. The guys that are method actors get so deep in their roles that tense stuff can happen on set. It felt uncomfortable because we really shouldn't have seen it... we don't know the context and we don't know the pressure he was under to get that scene right.

That doesn't matter in the least. That's how a spoiled child behaves. Anyone who ever behaved like that in my restos got 86'd immediately. Sometimes forcibly. The guy makes a fortune for pretending, it's not hard work. The least he could do is show some grace and professionalism.

The new start menu? An immense waste of real estate and lack of support for old functionality is my problem.

Look, I TRIED using the new menu for 2 months figuring, yeah, might as well learn something new, and I finally gave up in frustration. The classic menu design works better for me. The new Start menu is basically advertising space for Microsoft. I don't need dancing animated large tiles showing me the weather or the latest news. That's not the way I use an operating system. I open a program or browse a website to learn what I need to learn. The new Start menu is an attempt to make it more like a phone, and I don't need a phone OS on my PC.

I despise the new Start menu so I use Open Shell to get the classic start menu back.

Things like this don't really make sense to me, what is wrong with Win10's start menu? I'm really at a loss trying to find a reason where Win7's is better in any meaningful way.

1. Open She'll is more configurable
2. It stays the same because change for the sake of change is not needed, especially since they were trying to meld a touchscreen/tablet interface onto a desktop os.
3. It's faster and easier to get to stuff.

Yeah, no. Destiny is insanely popular. I'm sure they can handle it.

They're obviously not handling it. One thing ActiBlizz had experience with was massive launches: CoD, WoW, Overwatch, etc.

Yeah that's bullshit. Troy Baker has been in like, everything, for the last 12 years, and it has nothing to do with some bit part in a game no one played. Also, Texas law doesn't say you can't sign a union worker under a collective bargaining agreement. There are all kinds of unions in Texas. You just can't make membership mandatory for employment, and any collective bargaining agreement in Texas is going to reflect that.
