    Well that's hardly fair. The most stupid and destructive things I've done as an adolescent-to-young-adult male is accidentally wiping the wrong partition on a drive. Never felt even an urge to go break things for fun, or to drink until I puked, it never crossed my mind.

    I thought most of the argument happened because of the rereleases getting butchered with editing.

    Notch is just worthless in general. All the development is done now by Jeb, while Notch is on permanent paid vacation.

    They have a posters gallery, but no order option? They could make a fortune off of edgy teenagers and Free Software advocates.

    Before I dropped out from inability to pay, Clemson University charged $340-510 per credit hour (at least 12, up to 18 a semester). And that was in-state costs.

    PC-ism regardless, BioWare can't write for shit and it makes awful games. I don't see why the company is around anymore after being consumed by the Dark One known as Electronic Arts.

    Right, if you want to think like a modern gaming company exec, you disable the chat and sell it as $10 DLC.

    I usually sympathize with neither one if it's those two fucking tropes.

    He said BioWare, the dev of the Mass Effect series, et al. You're thinking of BioShock, a game series by Irrational Games (RIP).

    It seems to largely be a symptom of religious fundamentalism and literal interpretation of the Bible, rather than taking it as a book of fables based loosely on real events.

    The problem with that mindset is assuming that electronics are appliances, rather than something that should be upgraded every once in a while, and that the upgrade cycle for electronics is faster than that for, in your example, tractors. People shouldn't have to upgrade every year, but people shouldn't keep computer upgrade cycles to the same timing as vehicle or appliance upgrade cycles. That said, if a person keeps a computer system working, even with replacements, for 9 years, they did have a worthwhile purchase.
