That is the clearest I’ve ever seen the surprised Pikachu image.

About 7 years ago… Friend and I built PC’s about 6 months apart, him first, then me. Same ASUS motherboard. 2 years go by and his motherboard just dies. Few months later, mine dies. They honored the Warranty but the RMA process was awful. Little to no communication and it took a month for each of us to get refurbished motherboards back. I have not used a single ASUS product since.

People were saying that might have been Valve just covering themselves from potential lawsuits. We’ll just have to see if it’s reverted.

Nope nevermind, I was hopeful it was good guy Steam but it was in fact Sony. Fuck Sony. Will never buy another Sony game.

Quick note… After typing this up I realized this is more a response to the OP than to you. Sorry for the rant lol.

They knew about it and implemented it but the game blew up at launch and the stupid PSN requirement caused tons of server issues. So to allow people to play they temporarily disabled it. Now, after all this, the CEO was incredibly transparent about the whole situation and was working to get it resolved with Sony.

To me the CEO is a breath of fresh air. He cares about his product and was open about everything going on.

Sony put themselves in this position.

6-7 years of development and 6 months before they drop this requirement? Which does little to nothing except inconvenience your customer… Not to mention Sonys track record with data breaches… And on top of all that the launch would have been ruined due to this requirement and possibly wouldn’t have allowed the game to get as big as it is?

Fuck that and fuck Sony.

Indeed an unpopular opinion but you’re missing a key point that Sony, being the publisher, decides where the game is sold. They chose to sell it in countries that cannot create PSN accounts. A huge reason this blew up is because of that fact… along with their (Sony) response to that, or at least the representatives people got responses from.

Whether it was an accident, stupidity, malice, whatever… Doesn’t matter, Sony screwed that up.

Edit: On top of all that the PSN requirement was crippling the release of the game. If the CEO hadn’t disabled the requirement to link to PSN the game may not be as successful as it is now.

Honestly the CEO probably saved the game and increased sales, which helps Sony…

Give me a break. Greed did this. Sony’s greed. Nothing else.

Oh, I use both, I was just poking fun. That being said, I unfortunately I don’t feel comfortable trying to get my parents on Linux… or even friends.

Most people just want things to work and won’t do any sort of troubleshooting themselves. “It just works” is worth the intrusiveness that comes with Windows.

And Linux fanboys will get up on their high horses while googling how to fix their driver issues.

The uniformed virtue signaling is strong with this one…

All of the “butchering” is optional. Believe me, the game makes it much easier to set up a berry patch that auto-feeds everything in your base, rather than manually butchering everything.

And… Normal Pokemon is enslaving as well. You’re literally catching them and forcing them to fight each other to the brink of death. Just to recycle the rhetoric of the crazies 20-25 years ago. It’s akin to dog fighting. You’re also a child in Pokemon…

Come on, at least try to make a good argument.

FWIW, I tried to like Craftopia and it didn’t click, but I’m really enjoying Palworld. If you enjoy Pokemon you should be able to get your money’s worth.

Actually looks good. Let’s hope it’s not a clunky mess.

Man, I love Valve.

FWIW Jerboa looks the same as what Sync shows

KDE Connect works great for now.

And even with that… I gave it a shot for a while… But unfortunately, it is nowhere near as good as Google’s swipe/glide typing. I was constantly having to fix words or just not use the swipe typing at all.

I’m not disagreeing but it says people who already own it will be able to keep playing it.

I think the answer here is much simpler than that.

It’s warmer early Nov than it is in Dec so putting them up is more enjoyable.

And taking it down later is just pure laziness.

My mother has three children but had four pregnancies. She unfortunately can’t give birth naturally and needed C-sections. The complications that come with C-sections get greater each time and doctors (at least at the time) heavily recommended against more than three C-sections.

She had to terminate her third pregnancy because the fetus didn’t develop properly and the babies spine wasn’t connected. He would have lived for maybe 30 seconds before dying an incredibly painful death if brought to term. My youngest sibling wouldn’t be here if she needed to bring that baby to full term.

Overturning Roe v Wade is already putting thousands in similar situations or worse, like the examples brought up in John Oliver’s segment.

You don’t oppose murder. You support suffering.

100% this. AC PvP would be awful for a new player using the limited early game parts/weapons. Think MMO level 50 vs level 5.

Yes an argument can be made to still allow it so people can fight their friends early… but a lot of people would just go straight into it and just be turned off to it altogether.

This is such a great idea. I will definitely be doing this next year!

Didn’t live up to your unrealistic expectations. It’s an action game with multiplayer based around mechs.

For this type of game the industry evolved to shoving loot crates, skins, and battle passes down our throats, not a “great story”. This game has none of that. Which I’m sure most people are happy about.

The “story” in Armored Core exists to give you a reason to play their mech action game. Mech action being the focal point. It gives you a reason to play the game, get used to the controls, and then maybe play some multiplayer.
