Sony did not develop No Man's Sky. It's also fairly accurate to say that if someone invests 50 hours into a game and then wants a refund...calling them a thief isn't too far off base. That's the same for any retail business out there. If you bought a game and want a refund after an hour or two of trying to get things to work right, that's perfectly fine. 50 hours? No way.
If a game promises certain amazing features, but it takes 50 hours of (leveling up) game play to identify that those features don't exist, is it still stealing when you demand a refund? It's like buying a box of cereal just for the prize advertised prominently on the front of the box, and in commercials. If you get to the bottom of the cereal box and the prize isn't there, do you have a right to a refund? Damn straight.
Yes, it's easy to find fairly current websites that will recommend a complete build. It's also quite easy to find a list of compatible hardware, recommended power supply wattage, and due to a highly competitive market the price of a fairly decent gaming machine will be between 1&1.2k all in, including O/S. Speaking of O/S, go ahead and speak ill of Microsoft all you want, a fresh install on new, or even old, hardware will likely begin with at least a working driver for each component, though it may not be optimized. Motherboards come with a disc containing drivers that fill in those that are missing, and you'll also likely start with a network connection so that you can download the best drivers available. Best of all, you don't end up with the shit bloatware that companies like HP dump on your stock purchase PC.
Wait until Libraries start receiving their takedown notices. Their movie/tv/videogame sections are getting pretty massive and distribute the material on a temporary basis to a large number of people who now don't have to pay for it.
Not to mention the AC hypocrite likely is also a frequent visitor to pornhub and has no problem watching a man's penis in a woman's anus, and deams of being able to duplicate the experience with his own sexual partner.
Who has more incentive to create a clean source of power than the Chinese? Massive pollution, reliance on coal fired power plants, and no scruples when it comes to stealing technology to get on par with other nations. Combine all this with a government that can dictate where the most brilliant minds focus their talents and unlimited funding and you'll see major advancements.
I can't stand our Canadian Prime Minister, but one thing he said that was taken out of context was how he admired the Chinese government. This advancement is what he was talking about, not their human rights record.
I'll wait 2-3 years, pick it up for $20 on Steam, including all DLC, and be pleased with the entertainment I get for the price-point. The last time I payed full price for a game based on expectations was Diablo 3, and that taught me a valuable lesson.
How deluded you are. Use your imagination and start thinking about how everything would be handled by the private sector, that would of course have your best interests at heart, especially when the whole concept of regulations and enforcement would need to be tossed. Are you going to bully your way to a great lifestyle? Think again, there's always someone bigger, badder or smarter... and I think you're especially SOL on that last one.
I can tell you that surveys of our citizens consistently place 'my agency' as one of their most valued. Based on your attitude, I'm not sure a world where you got to decide what was appropriate for government would be fit to live in for long.
Let me get this straight: You're going to call bullshit on something you know nothing about, and use campaign promise anecdotes as your support for why I'm lying about the value of a mandatory long form census.
Ask me how valuable a census is when 30-35% of the local residents failed to respond?
Take your tinfoil hats off already. I work for a civic agency where my primary role is to provide the decision makers with the right data necessary to make informed decisions. We, along with many other branches that serve the community, were severely handcuffed when Harper removed the long form and made the short form voluntary. The data is often used to help identify where focus and resources are best placed so that the taxpayers we serve get the most bang for their buck. Believe it or not, many public servants do understand who pays the bills.
Oh please, al you have to do to get participation grades is ask a question once in a while, and since most introverts are assholes who think they are smarter than everyone else, just think of it as a game of "stump the professor".
That's like saying all extroverts are ignorant pricks who think going to meetings is the same thing as getting stuff done.
So... a fictional show is being criticized for Sensationalized Cruelty, but a reality show like Toddlers and Tieras is somehow ok? I give up on this world.
I'd be curious if the 'mischief' was related to the destruction of the drone, or the willful firing of a firearm in a non-life threatening situation that could potentially endanger those nearby, or cause dispatch of emergency services due to 'shots fired'.
Had he thrown a baseball and knocked it out of the air would this have resulted in an arrest?
Yes, and unless you're a creationist, you'll be able to research the evolution of the modern wing from the feathered, clawed, four legged body of its ancestors.
Yes, yes he does. You are aware that 'number of legs' is synonymous to 'number of appendages' when talking about broad anatomical classification of creatures, right? Even the riddle of the Sphinx suggests that millennia old cultures were able to grasp this concept.
Thank you. There's also a declaration of martial law by PET. Adscam and a gun registry that was shoved down our throats by the Liberals and their pet Police Chiefs despite the huge opposition by the cops on the beat who knew it wouldn't work. Though I'm opposed to the comparisons to the NAZI's bringing in a gun registry as a first step towards confiscating all guns from law abiding folk, isn't it easy to see how any side that is in power is going to do something that can be compared to past evils? There was Mr. Dithers whose family company was moved off-shore to evade Canadian taxes....
I never said I was pro-Harper, I've voted both left and right of the spectrum, always trying to pick the option that will do the least damage to the Country/Province/City. I am truly against omnibus legislation and wish it could be removed completely as an option.
I also think that a party that isn't polarizing rarely succeeds. The number of people who are truly objective on issues is very small. Polarization drives votes.
I wish there was a better option than Trudeau jr. this next election. With that said, I'll still scrutinize the party platforms pre-election and continue to pick the least destructive party.
Oh give it up for crying out loud. Regardless whether you're talking about the Cons majority Federally, or the NDP's new majority in Alberta I'm sick and tired of hearing whiners bitch and complain about how the combined power of all the other voters should trump the number of elected representatives who garnered the most votes in their ridings. I guarantee you that when your particular party of choice gets in power you'll be rolling your eyes at anyone who uses the same argument.
You also act like past regimes, Trudeau (PET) and Chretien, weren't just as much dictatorial as Harper's. Go ahead and vote for your favorite future dictator next election, but step back a bit and be objective about what you're going to get.
Though I agree with you, to a point, can you tell me you don't smoke, or drink alcohol, both cost society in extra health care expenses? Are you thin, due to genetics instead of through exercise and a close monitoring of your caloric intake? Personally, I can eat whatever the hell I want, when I want, while spending a great deal of time sitting on my ass, without gaining a thing. I also have severely overweight relatives, and have watched them struggle with various diets and exercise regimes. Short of a draconian lifestyle, they will remain the way they are. Sure its possible, but try living that sort of a life while others around you are sitting on the couch, stuffing their face with snack food.

... alter our eating habits to only be plant based, perhaps population control should be a priority.
By changing to people based foods, population control will be a priority.
Will we finally be able to do simple things like sort by sender or subject? (and no filtering by either of those two is not the same thing)
Canadian lives matter, damnit!!! Except to Major Harry Schmidt.

Ah, Chewbacco, Chewbacca's older, more surly brother. It's that surliness that made him more dangerous.

What I don't get is that you can buy highly flammable alcohol at the duty free and carry it onto the plane without hassle.
If you think water from a melting glacier is fresh or clean you haven't watched water melt off a glacier.

The snake also recently stated that POW's are exempt from War Hero status.
