Next step in the saga, Sony buys off EA as a counter attack.

That's a leap if I ever saw one. I could ask the same question and substitute AI with god or aliens and I'd be ridiculed by the tech community and with good reason.

And you don't need to take it much further to fall into the holographic universe principle or the simulation hypothesis and for those there are big discussions to be had in science communities.

To be clear, nothing stops you or me, or anyone for that matter from assuming so, but down that road the only answer I can think of is that nothing matters and might as well lay down and die.

I'd hazard a guess that most people down vote you not because you don't want to use steam or that you want to pirate, but rather because it's most likely something wrong with your setup and you can't be arsed to figure out what the problem is. Which might end up being a lot more serious than simply being unable to launch steam.

IMO, figure it out, get your system to work properly and then go pirate if that's what you prefer.

How are those emulation devices? I really want to buy that rg35xx but I think it'd really bother me trying to play say ps1 in such a small screen. And of course ds stuff wouldn't be that good considering the one small screen.

It's been a decade. And I made general assets like couches, tables, cloth simulations etc. I have no idea which missions used them since. But I can vouch for Springheel's, Bikerdude's, Grayman's and Obsttorte's missions. At least the ones before 2012. Haven't played it since, I should do it soon. But from the ones I know for a fact, Grayman and Dragofer used them often in his missions. And the latter made a pass on my old stuff a couple of years ago to fix/update them. And did an awesome job at it.

It was a great team to work with, especially Springheel, he had a lot of patience with me having to learn the tools they used and spamming him with questions. :)

Can't see the video right now, but considering the old thief games are some of my favorite games ever, I don't think I'd disagree much. Still haven't found a better stealth game, 23 years later. Deus ex can come real close in terms of quality stealth if you play ghost, but while encouraged, it's not the point of the game.

Meanwhile, 162 days and counting for dead space.

Doesn't make me want to buy it, without trying it out first, but saying hours to days for denuvo is..a joke really. Sure there were a couple of games that were cracked in a couple of days, but that's a handful of them in the last 6 years or so. Most take a long, long time.

I mean..I could understand that question a handful of years ago, but now? There's a long list of games that only have a loading screen when you open the game and never again.

Even as far back as minecraft for the most well known ones. TLOU iirc was like that as well, back in ps3. Now with nanite I bet it will be even more common. But I doubt we'll ever get to a point that ALL games are like that. Sometimes it's even done for artistic purposes. Or continuity reasons.

It's not. Most of the time it's fine, but there have been cases in the past that they added their own DRM in the games.

Mine would be Anarchy Online. Still around, though FC has ran it to the ground and not too obscure, considering it used to be quite big before 2005ish, but almost nobody talks about it in EU and the few times they do is to comment on the dreadful launch.

But I doubt there's a game I've sunk more hours into, playing constantly from release up to 2011 and then on and off until last year. Eventually I figured out it's just nostalgia and it's not worth it anymore, the time, let alone the sub.

I remember when I was considered a contrarian for refusing to have a facebook account back in 2008 or twiter later on or instagram. How times have changed.

I use dashlane and I want to change. Any ideas on something that can offer the same functionality?

ie awesome with input fields for autocomplete, ability to save documents and with a good android app?
