The only Fallout games worth playing.

Another part of it is that if they discontinue support, they can’t stop the community from creating their own server software.
There are so many ways to approach this. The point is ensuring consumers retain the right to keep using what they purchased, even if they have to support it themselves.

I believe you have proved my point.

It has a negative connotation only for nazis and racists. For everyone else it has a clear, well defined meaning. Anyone who uses it as pejorative is a racist, nazi propagandist.

If you look at their comment history, this person is an American MAGA nazi. It’s best to block them and move on.

“It’s okay for corporations to steal a little bit. As a treat.”
- Comment on Steam now generates three times more revenue for Capcom than PlayStation 3 days ago:
A license is not owned, it is granted. A license is effectively a rental or lease. The words “buy”, “purchase”, etc are incompatible with the concept of licensing. If a thing is sold using words or terminology that imply ownership, then it is owned.
I am not talking about legalities, I am talking about ethics. Laws have been carefully designed to enable and protect corporate theft. Implying a sale while not conveying ownership is theft. Taking measures to ensure consumers cannot own the things they understand they have purchased it theft. Theft is theft and defending it is also unethical.

You conflated the way the website displays content (literal versus paraphrase translations) with the translations themselves (you literally painted the paraphrase translation as “fan fiction”). I clearly explained how the different translations work, that the content itself is the same for all available translations, and why the translations are likely to be displayed differently. Additionally, the website is freely accessible and confirming these things takes seconds.
But you appear to have ignored everything I said and then doubled down on your own bizarre take. And again, this is all easily verifiable in seconds on the website you, yourself, mentioned.
It doesn’t really matter whether you are trying to be deceptive on purpose or whether you are simply clueless and obstinate. Doubling down on a bad take after getting something so wrong makes for some potent fremdschämen.

It exists solely to rob consumers of ownership of their purchases. It can, has, and will continue to result in people losing access to products they have paid for and to which have every right. Performance impact is beside the point. DRM is theft and Denuvo is the worst.

ACAB. Doesn’t matter where or when in the world we’re discussing. ACAB is universal.

I’ll just leave these here. They’re the exact website you mentioned using.

While it’s great that they’re doing on the only open gaming platform, it’s a shame that they’re being rewarded for infecting their games with anti-consumer malware.

I can read their minds through the magic of the internet, and a lot of unfortunate personal experience.
They open with long-winded, empty, masturbatory platitudes like this.
“Oh Lord our God, who rules from heaven, glorious is your name, we come to you today in prayer and supplication that you will show your glory and power to this sinful country, Lord.”
Only then do they get to the meat of their evil demands to their coin-operated god.
“We pray that you would help us to rob the poor, hurt them, kill them, and deprive them of care and basic necessities. We pray that you would help us line our own pockets, and the pockets of our friends and donors, with the wealth stolen en masse from the weakest and least of your children. We pray that you help us capture, torture, and expel the foreigner and the stranger, who we do not want among us. We pray that you would help us separate children from their parents and parents from their children, especially those in need of medical care, and that you would help us deprive them of that care. We pray that you would help us subjugate the masses and make them slaves to our whims and enterprises, and deprive them of their freedom and agency, and to help us force all women, but only those born with pussies, to be the chattel that you have proclaimed them to be in your infinite wisdom. In your holy name, ah-men.”

That translation is actually very accurate, but what you posted is 23:11-21, not just 23:20.
The Message is a “paraphrase” translation (“sense-for-sense”), which means it translates the concepts rather than just words (literal translation). Most Bible translations are literal translations, which is problematic because numerous connotative errors arise. Idioms, colloquialisms, and context are all lost in those translations. Today, the loss of context is often intentional, as restoring the context dramatically changes the meaning and puts it at odds with modern politically corrupted dogmas.
If you were to read the same chunk of scriptures in another translation, you’d find much the same content. Where The Message differs is that it attempts ton translate idioms into modern (as of 20 years ago) versions, which often has hilariously anachronistic “how do you do, fellow kids” results.
That said, it’s one of the more trustworthy translations available, though plenty of grains of salt are still required.

Or better yet, consider a SteamDeck instead of Nintendo in any way, shape, or form.

Contractors never count in layoff numbers, so this number would be much, much worse if you included them. The actual job losses could easily be more than doubled.
- Comment on Rumoured Assassin’s Creed Black Flag remake teased by actor who's pretty chill about loose lips sinking ships 1 week ago:
It’s not the AC-free Black Flag spinoff the world has been demanding for over a decade, but it’s better than nothing. It’s definitely better than Skull and Bones, which was infinitely worse than nothing.
- Comment on Anon loves The Lord of the Rings 1 week ago:
Here’s my thought process. We’re using two criteria, passion and longevity. The Witcher is clunky and weird and hasn’t aged well, but it’s also the reason The Witcher has become a global phenomenon.
The Witcher 2 was developed with incredible passion and ambition, where choices would have massive game-changing consequences. The problem is, I can barely remember any of it. I have long felt that it simply wasn’t a very impactful adventure. And then came The Witcher 3, which felt like an adventure with choices that mattered and a world that felt alive and lived in. It overshadowed everything else. And yet, without the first game, there would be no The Witcher 3. We might not even have all the books translated to english.
So that’s why I pick those two specifically.
- Comment on Anon loves The Lord of the Rings 1 week ago:
Yes. The story is gut-wrenching, the world is rich and engaging, the gameplay is interesting. If I had one complaint it’s that the rare platforming segments don’t quite work… but being a masterpiece isn’t about perfection, it’s about impact, and Clair Obscur hits like a hydrogen bomb.
- Comment on Hesitating getting a Switch 2 (1st game console in 15 years)... 1 week ago:
Get a Steam Deck. The existence of Family Sharing alone makes it a much better choice for portable family gaming.
Nintendo has numerous major anti-consumer problems, from game ownership, to hardware quality and longevity, to their abusive behavior towards fans, consumers, and competitors. It’s not worth it, there are better options.

If I had the artistic talent of a lawn chair I would have already done this. We need some epic Frank Frazetta style Zohran art.
- Comment on Anon loves The Lord of the Rings 1 week ago:
Definitely not 2. Not for lacking of passion, though. They just didn’t pull it off.

Start with something simple like Twilight Imperium, and work your way up to Cones of Dunshire.
Or try Tsuro. It’s very simple and quite nice.
- Comment on Microsoft Plans Major Job Cuts at Xbox Gaming Division 1 week ago:
I want to respond in a rational, reasonable way, but this is so factually incorrect and utterly unhinged I am not sure where to even start. Ordinarily I’d be all about dumping on Bethesda, too.
- Comment on Sony faces another class-action lawsuit over PlayStation Store prices and monopolistic practices 1 week ago:
game consoles aren’t a general-purpose computing device
I know that’s the legal argument that manufacturers make, but it’s always been bad faith. Long gone are the days when a console does one thing: play games. Now they stream, have web browsers, social media, apps… they’ve been general purpose for many, many years. Being locked down anti-competitively is not an excuse for something to be locked down anti-competitively.
