Maybe I misinterpreted either your previous comments or what the article is saying. But I can agree with that.

I can agree with that, perhaps I misinterpreted the previous comments.

The burden of proof should be on whoever is making a claim. If someone accuses me of doing something with no evidence, my verbal denial shouldn’t be skeptical without proof. Brother isn’t in a position that they should require to provide proof against the claim being made against them. I didn’t see any mention in the article of other user’s printers being bricked aside from the original claim from 2022. Maybe some further investigation would come up with something, but claims made on Reddit posts and YouTube videos hardly count as proof of anything.

I dont see how the burden of proof is on Brother. If you’re looking for verification from tens of thousands of other printer users and hearing crickets, i think you have your answer.

Buying Blu-ray, going to theaters, and buying merchandise aren’t alternatives to owning digitally. I won’t speak for all pirates, but I just want to own a digital copy of what i pay for. Even streaming with a paid subscription isn’t a viable alternative. I don’t pirate to protest, I pirate because there’s no other choice.

Instead of issuing refunds on any purchased in game currency, Zynga informs players should quickly spend it in game before the game shuts down lmao

Personally no i never rooted for Walt. Don’t get me wrong I still enjoyed his character and the show overall but I figured him to be a pretty bad guy from the start. Sometimes I just enjoy a show even when all the main characters are bad people. It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia is another example from a completely different genre. Most episodes end with those characters in a bad predicament based solely off of their poor actions, but that’s what makes it interesting to watch for me. I would feel like a shitty person of i rooted for them because they are incredibly shitty people. Another example i can think of is Narcos. That show was wildly popular, but there’s no way anyone can justify rooting for Pablo Escobar.

Anyway I guess that’s all beside the point of why you may not like No Country for Old Men. I haven’t seen that movie in a long time so I can’t recall many details. But I can still appreciate reading your thoughts on what makes for good storytelling. There’s really no right or wrong as far as I’m concerned, everyone has their preferences.

Do you not like any movies or shows where the main character is the bad guy? The Sopranos is my all time favorite show but I’ve never rooted for Tony. Breaking bad is great too but I still never rooted for Walter White.

They likely make a lot more money with their games on steam

In all seriousness I 100% agree. Aside from the ethical reasons behind it, it’s just really weird to do.

Yea but that patient was John Nazikiller, so can you blame her?

I was so salty after watching that movie. All the trailers billed it as a comedy. Maybe the first 10 minutes had me laughing. Bored to tears after that.

I work in a GI lab and one of the funniest things I heard when a patient was waking up was, “You guys were so good I’m coming back for another colonoscopy tomorrow!”

I don’t have a steam deck but I bet Ape Escape would be the perfect series to play on it!

I don’t know why but it’s so funny to me seeing Mary Poppins next to those other two movies lol

My roommate said that Dragon Age was going to be the most woke game and that he would never spend his money on a game published by EA. He bought it day 1 and beat it 3 times. He fucking loves that game.

The first time I went to one of those places I assumed they sold sushi by the piece not the roll. The way the menu worked, they gave you a paper menu and whatever you want you write a number next to that item and they give you that many servings. No where on the menu did it say that sushi was by the roll, which i think 8 or 20 pieces. But a serving of hibachi or fried rice was a couple of bites a serving. If all you wanted was hibachi, you could easily order 5. You could imagine my surprise when I saw my order after ordering 1 of every sushi.

Good to hear. I tried to start with 1, but just can’t do with those controls.

But are the devs going to take in the extra money or the ceo publishers?

The worst thing about a live service game to me is that they only work when you can connect to the official servers. Many live service games have shut down and there is no offline mode to continue playing. Sometimes you still pay full price for these games. Sometimes games like The Crew, shut down after you spent money to play it and then The Crew 2 comes out so you pay full price for essentially the same game and the first one doesn’t work anymore.
