As long as there is no space for air to get trapped between the glass and a reflector, it’s no issue to put it on the inside (although its more effective when on the outside) - those foils that can be put on the window using a little bit of water do a good job. Biggest problem are dark objects when only away a few centimeters from the glass - those will crack the window in no time.

At least where i live, non-permanent modifications that use things like suction cups don’t need approval from a landlord.

The mental image i got is that they are kicking their own ass using a broken leg. Pretty accurate if you ask me - it hurts doubly every time you do it.

The zionists are even traitors to themselves. Why abide by the rules of your supreme court if you shit on all the rules every day?

And the fixation with virgins just screams how unsecure they are, fearing any comparison. I’d rather have 72 women who know what they want and know what they are good at.

Physical media on PC is as dead as it can get. I haven’t touched an optical medium in the last 15 years, and i don’t have a drive going on 10 years now. I also know of noone around me that is still using CDs/DVDs, the last time i messed with DVDs was when ripping every last one of them, and even my grandma has opted for converting her music to FLAC and freeing up the largish space her music Cds were using, making her collection both save from bitrot and a lot more readily available. I could get behind distribution per USB-Stick, but sticks that are fast enough to handle 100GB+ installations comfortably aren’t cheap in comparison to optical media, and in most cases it would only mean they are used for a single time when copying them to a network storage, in the end just creating tech waste.

DRM-Free installers - that’s where it’s at, and that is what i store; alternatively, for PS1/2 games, compressed CD images are the way to go.

Collectors Editions are the exception, but even here I would prefer the USB stick format if it had redundancy built in - nowadays that is the truly universal storage that any computer can use without needing extra hardware.

ETA: To make the issue clearer: If i had to use physical media to store my game collection alone, i would have to rent a storage room to have enough physical space to store around 45000 titles, and then add even more to have available room for a few thousand music albums. It would making sure all this data is save from the inevitable demise of optical media a fulltime job. This is fine for a museum, it is not fine for a person which has to pay rent per square meter.

I always liked 2h builds that get into the thick of it, so i tended towards shaman, necromancer and soldier, although inquisitors dw pistols are fun too. I have to add that i exclusively play hardcore characters in arpgs, so my graveyard in this game is huge.

The consumers contract for the content is with sony, not with someone else. The underlying structure doesn’t interest anyone except lawyers. Sony should be mandated to refund content that they pull from libraries, or they have to ensure that they don’t lose access to the content they are “selling”. Also, it should be enshrined in law that if you only get a licence that can be pulled anytime that this information is very, very clear when paying for content, and not to hide this information on page 23 or so in their licence agreement, where they redefine the meaning of buy, own, purchase… and so on to something that very much has NOT the meaning of those words.

Grim Dawn, paid around 50€ for it plus expansions, played 2400 hours for a bit over 2 cents per hour.

On July 27 Fangs of Asterkarn, the new GD expansion gets released! I’m hyped lol

The worst deal i got is One Step from Eden, a mix of rythm game and deck builder. I had to realize that i am not capable of playing this game, because i can either do one or the other, but not both at the same time. While trying to git gud i crossed over the 2 hour playtime for a refund.

no gooning in this one. it’s a bit janky, but the right kind of jank - feels like the type of game that was released in the later PS1, early PS2 era.

Ed-0: Zombie Uprising - A japanese 3rd Person Zombie Action Roguelike. It’s silly, it’s fun, it’s pretty hard sometimes!

I mainly give positive reviews to games where you see and feel that it is a labor of love by someone who has a coherent vision of what their game should become. This fits for example Star Valor , Tiny Rogues , Core Keeper , (and of course Terraria), Repetendium , Utopia must Fall and so on. Bonus points if the Devs actually have an eye on the Steam Forums - for communication with their players and to accept Bug Reports - they can have a discord if they want to, but don’t make it mandatory.

Workshop support is a big plus from my side! It’s very much the same reason i like things i can repair myself - it simply increases the lifespan of the game for potentially decades. That is good value!

Language support is dead last for me. English isn’t my birth language, but nearly every media i consumed in the last 30 years has been in English, and most german voice actors are absolutely awful in my opinion compared to the original - the only exceptions are games that were actually developed in german-speaking areas, like the Gothic - series.

Promoting my local culture is also not important to me. I have my own culture at my doorstep - i’m more interested in what other cultures do. Nationalism is a pretty hard no from my side.
I also don’t care about quick price swings since i am a patient gamer; my last preorder was Cyberpunk 2077, and then i had to wait years until it was finally ready to be played the way it was supposed to. That taught me that it’s for the best to just wait anyways; It’s cheaper, and it’s more stable.

A fitting meme template:

Well, the US are the only country i know of that shifts the responsibility of making sure employees can have a home and food from the employer to the costumer. In central Europe, we tip when the service was excellent, but not by default, and only when being waited at a table.

In the US, they generally are the biggest common threat, second only to SUVs.

I don’t think the drone had its passport with it, and Israel is for sure able to procure a Shahed.

Could also have been a Russian false flag to keep crude prices from falling to low. Or Israel to continue to fuck around where they don’t belong

Half a bottle of tequila in form of tequila sunrise and a shitload of water

His behaviour was stupid and gross, and the public shaming deserved - but going to jail possibly for 2 years for that is pretty bonkers. A fine and community service sounds more like a balanced response.

Typical narcissist behavior - can’t cope with any type of criticism, because it its interpreted as a personal attack.

We need to burn down the corporate HQs of OpenAI and Anthropic for that.
