Great, can't wait to see what new eldritch abomination rises to fill the role instead.
yeah tbh this seems like just a few patches (and mods) away from greatness. just like STALKER of old.
I go back and forth on this. Clearly there are downsides to a service being provided by a government agency. But someone has to be in charge of it, and every option has downsides. Obviously a for-profit private venture is the WORST option. The current system of volunteer/nonprofit is great, but lacking in stability, funds, and power to push back against copyright. You could argue that the benefits outweigh the drawbacks, I just think it would be nice if my tax dollars supported vital services like Internet Archive or Wikipedia.
we should invite hatman to beehaw
I hate that we have to live in this world where something as vital as archiving the internet is a volunteer-based operation that requires permission from copyright holders. In a better world, the Internet Archive would be an international enterprise funded by mandatory contributions from UN members, and IA would have open license to archive everything. Maybe they wouldn't allow regular users to access archived items that have active copyright, unless the items become inaccessible.
it doesn’t appear that PSSR (which I cannot help but pronounce with an added i)
I've taken to pronouncing it as "pisser"
Two things:
just a cesspool of rizzless dudes trying to impress other rizzless dudes with how edgy they can be by shrinking their worldview.
Our descent into cyberpunk hell continues
Fair point. With that in mind, my new prediction is that Trump's DOJ will start a new case against Google, and then spend two years tripping over their feet before landing at the exact same point.
eeeexactly. Love when a corporation induces artificial scarcity and it comes back to bite them in the ass. Now granted...most people that want to play bloodborne on PC probably already paid for the PS4 version, so all Sony is really missing out on is EXTRA money. Or maybe they're just hoping Bloodborne Remake 2028 will be a PS6 system seller.

And in Georgia, 39% said they'd be more likely, also compared to 5% who would be less likely."]

the real reason is that even Republicans can't stand him. They don't even care that he's a pedophile. They just find him unpleasant to work with and be around, a real noxious presence. As with all things, conservatives don't care unless it personally affects them.
