- Comment on Sony gives up on forcing PlayStation Network for Helldivers 2 1 week ago:
Of course, Sony is corporation and doesn’t do things purely to appease consumers. But they also care about their reputation, so getting negative press is damaging to them.
Unlike with the Helldivers situation, where people could refund, the examples I listed had no direct way of causing financial damage, only reputational one. And it still worked, cause at the end of the day, reputation converts into money. - Comment on Sony gives up on forcing PlayStation Network for Helldivers 2 1 week ago:
Putting personal experiences side, I already provided 2 examples of cases that would’ve affected exclusively console players and they pushed back enough to cause a reversal.

Yeah, cause “PC players” are somehow completely different people from those who play on consoles. Literally every person I know personally who plays on PC also has consoles. So the chances are, vast majority of gamers just play games, whatever the platform.
Sony just sometimes reacts to pushback, like they reversed the decision to remove Discovery content, or how they kept the PS3 and Vita stores running after people complained.
Stop this gaming elitism.

What happens if we put them on IV? How long will they last? Will they go full Mr. Meeseeks? What are you doing over there, scientist?! We need answers!

Good to know. I still wasn’t thinking that your line was serious, just helping inform people that the widely held belief of urine being sterile is false.

Urine isn’t sterile, but as long as you like the taste, I guess.

But if it didn’t shock him while he was using one hand it’s not gonna shock him when he switched to using both hands either.

What does it matter if he grabs a single pair of pliers with both hands? Why did he make that bend in the middle tho?
- Comment on Updated Edge and it now seems to put a frame with rounded corners around every website 8 months ago:
You’re joking, but that’s how I unintentionally use the web with Arc Browser. It has rounded corners and an adjustable sidebar of tabs on the right. The resulting viewport is tightly 4:3. Iirc, Edge can also have tabs on the side.

True. But some cultures produce a bigger proportion of “awful” people.
