Doesn’t mean other cities haven’t grown. Especially Chinese tech haven and trade hub cities are blowing up. If New York didn’t grow, it probably dropped several spots.

Which is like a physical copy of the game. But if the game is only online and the servers go down, you own an installer of a non-functioning game.

That list is from 2018

I have over 500 games on steam. If the platform dies, that would be a major loss for me.

Anything you buy on Steam is also not owned by you, you only buy the rights to play their game for as long as they allow you to. Just like with Ubisoft.

Although ubisoft is a shit company, don’t think it’s the only one. Every game you bought on Steam, Origin and Epic aren’t your property either. You just bought the right to play their game for as long as they allow you to.
If you truly want to own your products, buy on GoG (you will get the offline installer as a download) or pirate. Because when you pirate, you have more rights and benifits than a paying customer.
Companies don’t even care anymore, it’s just a money grab with the newest bug simulator. As soon as the first purchase bubble ended, the project is abandoned and people are stuck with a piece of junk they do not even own.
In the exceptional case a dev truly delivers, like indie studios or Larian studio, the game dev world goes mental as it shows how corrupt and fucked up they are.
Support the few proper devs, pirate the rest. I pirate everything these days and when the game is good I’ll buy it.

No clue. I have no way of connecting it, I don’t have a land-line. I was thinking of converting it to a mic and headphone speaker for my eurorack. So add jack plugs on some wire.

They hate VPNs
I have no issues with my VPN. Which one do you have? Did you switch servers to see if it fixed the issue? Generally Google gives these prompts when there are many requests from a single IP address. When you have a proper VPN service, all connections will be spread out over many servers so there won’t be a lot of people behind a single IP address, so there won’t be that many requests to Google servers. This will solve the issue. I have Proton VPN, I never have these prompts anymore since I switched to Proton.

For all mankind is really good, just get through the first 3 to 4 epis (those are a bit boring) butt rust me, it’s worth it!
- Comment on What are some of the worst actor miscasts in TV? 1 week ago:
Many actors in the TV series Power is very poorly done and unbelievable. They do not fit the characters and make the entire series crap.

Go to a country which is better than the US. So skip North Korea, Somalia, Palestine. Then you’re good.

Let me sum it up for you:
- Comment on Not the worst offender 2 weeks ago:
When they sensed that I was stuck with my french
So you speak some French. They are friendlier to French speaking people or French car owners, but only a tiny bit. Ever sat at a table full of French people? They will just act like you’re not even there. Or worse, act angry because another French person could have sat on your chair. Especially in rural areas the French are assholes. They even make fun of foreigners right in your face because they believe you don’t understand what they are saying (but my French is good enough to understand that).
No. And I respect that the perspective from (former) colonies can be quite negative.
They treat them like slaves. I’ve seen them hit locals, pay them much less than minimum wage, I’ve seen entire parts of cities where locals weren’t allowed because they are black, put children to work with chemicals without protection. I’ve seen this in Djibouti, Seychelles and Madagascar.
No, not ever. I have heard tourists speaking french here and there, but no notable occurrences.
Most French tourists here in NL are assholes. French tourists in French (former) colonies are massive assholes (except towards other French people). I just got back from holiday in Cambodia, many French tourists I’ve seen were assholes too (not all).
I’m not.
Omelette du fromage.
I’ve had to work with the French when I was in the navy. Those people were extremily rude. They feel like they are better then the rest, so superior they can treat others like peasant scum.
One of my cousins speaks fluently English, unless there are other French people around. He’s ashamed for knowing English so he just makes fun of you and treats you like shit in front of others but changes to being kind when you’re alone with him. Another cousin knows many languages, he works in a 5 star hotel in Paris. But he’s gay, so he’s treated like shit as well. He can’t be openly gay because he gets beaten too often. So the kind and social French are being bullied by the rest, which makes the French in general assholes.
Sure, not every French person is an asshole, just the vast majority.

Poor choice of alcohol. I’d rather slip, fall and break my back than having to drink Jack Daniel’s.
- Comment on Not the worst offender 2 weeks ago:
And they surrender all the time.
- Comment on Not the worst offender 2 weeks ago:
Why do people have to support their claim the French aren’t nice when the French already do their best to be disliked? Have you ever experienced not being French in France? Have you ever experienced the French in their (former) colonies, how they act towards the locals? Have you ever experienced a French tourist in a different country, being angry because not everyone speaks French? I have experienced all of these scenarios. I have family in France, they aren’t different. My best friend is French, she left France because she thinks all French people are assholes. She’s never going back.
Hatred towards the French is what the French created. They were so successful doing this, there’s no need to elaborate why exactly we’re making fun of them.
I doubt you are French because if you were you would have surrendered immediately, so why bother defending them.
- Comment on Not the worst offender 2 weeks ago:
The French are not a race, they are just not nice (except in Nice). So it’s not racism but discrimination.
