English, and trying to learn German! Haven’t gotten very far yet though. Did a tiny little bit of Japanese (before picking up German) but haven’t gotten very far in that either.
Yet.

- Comment on Nippon Ichi Software announces Nippon Ichi PC Games service 1 week ago:
Yeah DRM would definitely get weird.
70% of the point of it would be to bring back actually owning your games, so as long as the DRM travels with the disc and you can resell it and the recipient can use it without being an EEEEVIL PIRATE!!!, it’s good.
Though it would introduce the weird issue of having to swap discs like you do a console.

Ooh, that sounds cool!
It’d be really nice if it could include the actual game on disc or whatever, but, that probably isn’t a thing they can easily do. It’d be cool if it was, though.

Oooh lovely!! We’re uh, pre-12.5 I think.
A DVD won’t work, right, it’s gotta be a bluray? Because if we can do this with a DVD-R and not need another reader, that’d be great.

Shoot, apparently it’s not open source. That’s not confidence-inspiring… but then again PS3 CFWs weren’t either (*sighs*)
Does that apply to PS4s running 11.something? I can’t remember what OS version our PS4 is on, but it’s new enough that a jailbreak only came out pretty recently. Needed a specific game disc to work.

Oooh awesome. I figured normal burned discs wouldn’t work.
We don’t have a bluray burner (only a CD/DVD drive) but have been kinda wanting to get one.

Wait, you can get jailbreak discs from aliexpress? That might be worth looking into…
(although, how do we know if it’s got malware on it?)

The UI is just way, way, WAY less obnoxious.
I do wish it had the niche communities though. Stuff for individual games, etc.

This is awesome. Should be the normal way to do things!

Yeah, it’s not at all an optimal waffle. It’s more a cool math meme waffle. ;3

- Comment on the two party system is just one big party 2 weeks ago:
Look, between the “let’s not do anything at all” party and the “wants us, specifically, dead” party, I’ll take the “let’s not do anything at all” party.
You don’t have to 100% like everything a given party is doing to recognize that they’re the least bad option. Sure, they aren’t really actively good, but a vote for them is a vote against the people who want to kill us. (And voting third party is just tossing your vote in the garbage, unfortunately.)

- Comment on Is it possible that none of this is real? 2 weeks ago:
Honestly, IMO it’s by definition real because we’re all here and experiencing it.
Even if it is a simulation (I personally don’t think it is, but wouldn’t really mind if it were) that doesn’t make it less real. It’s still our reality, after all.
I can’t prove to you that I exist, of course. But like, who cares about “actual existence” anyway? I’m clearly here and talking to you. Even if I were a simulation NPC or “just in your head”, I’m no less real. Probably the more important thing is that I can’t prove I’m not an unthinking NPC just following a program.
Then again, Occam’s Razor. It’d be weird if you were the only one who was actually thinking and everyone else was just mindless NPCs. It’s way more likely that we all exist and think independently (whether that be in a simulation or otherwise, doesn’t really matter).
