I’ll always remember going to a rise against concert and scalpers outside were saying “tickets for rise against the machine”, they have no idea what they are selling

America is a broken country that rewards the rich few and has no empathy for the rest

This is just one symptom of that

UK, a few chains tried it here but I imagine it was enough to drive people away so you don’t see it much anymore

I went to the US in 2024 and it was outrageous, every card terminal asked for it

I was under the impression it was just for sit down meals and not stuff like Starbucks or non food related things

I guess the point is that if you don’t have the disc then they can take it away from you

The way I see it is this has enabled companies to upgrade and rerelease games and keep them operational on newer hardware

They don’t know that yet, it’s like 4 months away from release

I have workmates who desperately try and make friends with people at work, I need to socialise with different people outside work

You would do the same in the same position

The entry level models have been the best value computers for a while

I had a thread ripper pro at work and it get beaten by a 5 year old m1 Mac mini for most use cases

Would it be better if it was on a piece of cardboard with the code behind a scratch off section?

I’m sure they will survive

Guess we will see if GTA6 online fails due to not being in the unreal ecosystem

It’s relative, Europe live in buildings meant to keep the heat in made of brick or concrete where as where you live probably has bungalows made of timber suited to the climate in your area

These aren’t people living somewhere unsurvivable without aircon in every building

Half life 3 exclusive will make it sell

I can’t see myself upgrading my TV or attached devices for quite a while

It already does 4k 120hz and that is never used by me, can’t imagine any new TV tech selling me on an upgrade for the next 10 years

Will have to see where it goes

They seemed to have pretty good evidence of people breaking contracts first time around

Even the people making YouTube videos about it kind of disappeared as soon as the evidence came out
