The same thing except you then have to pay for the disk, distribution and worry about stock and so on.

until you have a library that you can rent games for free close to you.

It’s called a torrenting client

I had a similar experience. Loved it then, like it even more now.

It’s a long time ago, in a galaxy far away. Geneva conventions and the laws of war didn’t exist at the time.

It can’t be that people are organically wanting to talk about a recently released triple A game by an old and relatively beloved game studio. They must be paid actors.

I’m not sure that using the entire QA staff of the world’s largest agglomeration of Dev studios on a single game only qualifies as “not cutting corners”. That’s surely going above and beyond.

I don’t know why, but that’s disgusting

That’s a misrepresentation of old English. Man used to be neutral, and was modified by were and wif respectively for man and woman. Wife comes from woman, not the other way around.

The ol’ head in the sand approach

The units of time we use come from a bronze age civilisation that used base twelve instead of base ten. They’d count on their hands using the finger joints of one for single digits, and then the joints of the other for multiples.

Attraction is a chemical process, long term relationships without respect are doomed to failure

Is paganism not just cosplay? There’s no continuity of tradition for pagan religions, they just picked it up because it was cool a few decades ago.

I can find interesting things in my life without resorting to delusion

But how can you respect someone who legitimately believes in magic?

Still not particularly impressed by someone engaging in magical thinking

Well, you’ve got to get rid of it some way, and while charity might systematically be a problem there are plenty that do genuine good.

If you have any decency, get rid of most of it, preferably to charities or political causes.

That sort of wealth in the hands of a single person is obscene, and spending it on luxury when there are people starving and homeless in the world is the height of immorality.

Foolish if the goal is to hold on to more money than you could ever need in ten lifetimes to pursue the goal of accumulating more from the work of others.

No, it’s more like doctor or engineer where it’s a protected profession that’s criminal to imitate.

The cost is just money in this case. It doesn’t use rare or unethically sourced materials (at least if you’re not a vegan), it advances the biological sciences as a whole and it’s something to do for bio grads that might generate a lot of value for society in the future.
