- Comment on The End of Ownership. Sony’s announcement has fans worried they might never truly own their beloved games. 45 minutes ago:
This kind of news should be paired with the pre-order numbers of GTA6. To better understand how many of the Sony users actually care about this.
Hint: it’s not a lot.

I’d love to see a 2D MMORPG of Aincrad, one with proper scale.
Ragnarok. I still miss that game in the state it was in the early 2000. Those years were the golden era of the MMORPGs
- Comment on Sword Art Online being a primarily single player series 1 hour ago:
Not literally, but it’s kind of a joke that the anime paints an MMORPG world and, in the best cases, you can only play with a few friends. It would be nice if we actually had a non-lethal Aincrad MMORPG instead of the sorry excuses of a cash-grab they are making every time

They don’t, until they do. Or until you drop them and fall in a bad way and break, or until you forget them somewhere or lose them. I mean, I don’t really care, you do you; but you seem really hostile to the idea of carrying a small wallet with your cards while trusting everything to an electronic device that might fail for no apparent reason.
I already got once in a situation where my phone died and having my cards with me made the whole ordeal way easier than if they had to figure out who I were without any kind of id. I really hope you don’t ever get in one.

Where do you live that you think you have the same odds of getting hit by a meteorite than of getting hit by a car while crossing the street?
Again, if your phone fails, how do you pay? How do you get identified? Without physical cards?
- Comment on Valid point 1 day ago:
Yes. But you said that you can leave your wallet at home, hence leaving all your documents on it and carrying just your phone. You can get involved in a car crash without driving by being a passanger or simply someone walking on the street or biking.
- Comment on Valid point 1 day ago:
You can’t make a phone smaller than it is. You are putting all your eggs on the same basket. You lose one, you lose everything. And, as I said, losing is not just forgetting it somewhere. You can drop it without noticing, you could get pickpocketed, you could damage it accidentally… You do you, but you are not minimizing the risk by having everything important on the same place and trusting your everything to one single item.
- Comment on Valid point 1 day ago:
Ever heard of the saying “never put all the eggs in the same basket”? It’s harder to lose two different things at the same time than to lose one. You might lose your wallet but keep your phone or viceversa, but it’s way more difficult to lose both at the same time if they are in separate pockets. Also, paper documents work even if they get damaged, a phone might not.
- Comment on Valid point 1 day ago:
If you leave the wallet at home and lose the phone or it fails, then you’re still with no documents or cards. Just because it never happened to you doesn’t mean it can’t happen. I got in a car crash when I was returning home from my job and the phone got destroyed. I was able to be identified and my family located because I was carrying my wallet with ID, national security card and driver’s license. It’s an extreme case, but it can happen. It could also fall in a bad way and get damaged… I’ve seen too many phones (fortunately not mine) decide to fail their user in the worst moment to trust them exclusively.
- Comment on Valid point 1 day ago:
Which rs why having everything on the same place is a bigger risk than having the phone and the wallet.
- Comment on Valid point 1 day ago:
Bold of you to assume your phone will never fail you.
- Comment on Valid point 1 day ago:
If you lose your phone, you lose everything tho.

I’m gonna start anew a private server. My group of friends played the hell out of this for months until there was nothing else to do. I kept playing just building new bases, it was my jam. We decided to give it a pause and retake the game after 1.0. Now’s the time, we’re starting from scratch and I already have an idea for a new base on top of the massive stone pillars in the central part of the island. Can’t wait for tomorrow!!
- Comment on Valid point 2 days ago:
Yes, and if your phone runs out of battery, gets stolen or simply dies in any way, you won’t have access to them.

You still haven’t answered the question. Do you understand the difference between paying and not paying for something?
- Comment on Valid point 2 days ago:
If you need to use a car that’s not yours, what would you do if the license is in the car?
And why wouldn’t you carry your id with you? Not just police might want to stop and ask for it, but what if you get involved in an accident and have to get taken to the hospital while unconscious? How are they going to id you to know who to call? Just to say an example.
Also, your medical card should always be with you in case of an emergency. You never know when will you need to be taken to the hospital and having it with you makes everything much easier.
There’s no advantage that I can think of in not carrying your documents (or even copies of them) with you.

I mean, you are saying that valve does the same thing as sony yet it’s not the same thing at all and when someone points this out, you just ignore it? I’ll ask it again: do you understand the difference between paying and not paying for something?
- Comment on Valid point 2 days ago:
Uhm… on top of not having my phone as my single payment method… where should I carry my id and driver’s license and medical card if not in the wallet? Should I carry them loose in the pocket? Or in my bag? Why? That’s so unconvenient and in the long term ends up damaging them.

Holy shit are you obtuse. No. Steam can revoke your licenses if you don’t pay for them. And that is a completely different thing than revoking your license after you paid for them without a refund. One of them is taking from you stuff that you didn’t pay for in the first place. The other one is taking from you stuff that you paid for. Do you understand the difference between paying for something and not paying for something?
- Comment on Hackerman 2 days ago:
I know, I work with machines and it’s a common practice to let the capacitors discharge for a good minute before trying to turn the thing on so the device has properly turned off before you try to turn it on again. But I know this because I work with them on a daily basis. If someone sees you as “hackerman” because you fixed the wifi by restarting the router properly, chances are they won’t even understand what a capacitor is.
- Comment on Hackerman 2 days ago:
Not only! You do it by waiting 60 seconds before turning the router on again! That’s some level of shit because they tried to just turn it off and on quickly and didn’t work!

I wouldn’t expect the payment to fail, but I wouldn’t be surprised either if I couldn’t keep games that I didn’t pay for. And I wouldn’t compare either this to sony removing games you paid for (without the payment being rejected).
- Comment on The year is 2036 and I’ve been brought in for questioning because my PlayStation Plus subscription lapsed well over 3 months ago. 3 days ago:
Exactly what did you expect to happen? Were you expecting to keep the games that you didn’t pay?

- Comment on Good offer! Which one should I pick? 6 days ago:
This happehs when you bought through a sale a long term plan (maybe 12 or 24 months). During new sales they will offer you again the best price on a long term plan or a worse price on a shorter term plan. It’s not infuriating, it’s just the service offering you a better price if you purchase a longer term plan (probably similar to the one you already bought last time).

Oh please do! We certainly need a purge on AAA studios releasing shit. I’m sure if they let the AI make the next cod it will be a triumph. They’ll make a note saying HUGE SUCCESS.

No, what we need to bring back is dumb-shaming. People need to feel ashamed of their own ignorance so they stop believing what a fakebook idiot tells them.
