The "demo" had DRM, so I'm guessing it might be the full-ish game with artificial boundaries set?

Read something about regional pricing, so there's a chance it may be the true price somewhere.

Don't. You will be replaced with a version of yourself that will hate living your life, so it will drop everything and run off to join a fishing trawler and spend their time screaming into the abyss just to annoy it.
- Comment on Arrowhead will target Helldivers 2's "crippling" tech issues now Xbox release is sorted, but would rather not do a "performance-only update" 2 weeks ago:
Then do a bug faction nerf update, since it's the bigger complaint than the performance one, that I've seen at least.

Ok. One of us trips and breaks the sound system, the second coughs up a nasty furball in the pool and the last one uses the snack buffet as a litterbox.
Afterwards, we meet at the backdoor in 5 and fake out a mice chase. - Comment on inspirational 4 weeks ago:

There's bad blood there, but the original DA team should be completely gone with the last members having been sacked during Veilguard debacle.
Maybe they'd like to shit on it one more time with a crappy remaster, who knows.

In contrast to the other commenters, fuck FFXIV.
I tried it twice and it's just.. annoying. Maybe because I was already annoyed with MMOs in general by then.
You should still try it yourself eventually, but it's really bleh for me.To be honest, most f2p MMOs don't work as a f2player. You have to end up paying or it becomes stressful.
Anyway, i don't recommend them, but they felt the least annoying the longest. Star Trek Online and Neverwinter (grindy as hell or expensive pay2unlock), Guild Wars 2 (needs buying the first two expansions to unlock permanent mounts and character specializations) and if you're brave enough to go the private servers route, try searching for private, yet somewhat reputable servers of games you think might've been nice like Wildstar..

Well, it has joystick support... So there's that.
There doesn't seem to be anything native, but running it through steam can make use of its controller support for most keys.
Default though, the game is built for a keyboard experience.

Sex was excluded from the theme and my thought was using that consideration.
- Comment on What is the difference between a platonic and a romantic relationship? 1 month ago:
Keep in mind that sexual intent isn't a consideration.
I'd say that if you think of romance as something ephemeral or fleeting and of friendship as something grounded or permanent, then the two states can be reversed or interchangeable.
Then romance could be seen as chasing dreams while friendship pursues realism?
However we should also consider intent. Romantic feeling towards someone elevates them beyond the ordinary. It becomes a pursuit that gives out a part of oneself, in excess one might say.
On the other hand, in order for friendship to reach that level of commitment or even higher, it's inevitable to pass through a stage of romantic idealization in the literary sense of the other person's attributes.Complete intimacy means being a part of another's life and they being a part of yours. And to fully trust another in every aspect is something that can only be achieved through the idealistic view of romance.
If we were to joke about it... They don't call the intense, almost homoerotic friendship between men a bromance for nothing after all.
- Comment on What is the difference between a platonic and a romantic relationship? 1 month ago:
Friendship - separate lives with limited involvement.
Romantic - shared life, fully involved.
