Like, if I go from 35 to 15 do I go back to school, clear student loan debts, etc?

Because redoing the lead up and college with the maturity to actually try would probably be good.

12-5 with that roster is disgustingly underachieving.

The playoff performance and the insane lack of adjustments specifically in the playoff game should have had him fired even if the regular season wasnt also a disappointment.

Why not post something with the tiniest bit of credibility, then?

A bunch of completely unreliable nonsense posts from completely unreliable nonsense people does not add up to evidence of any kind.

Finished Sniper Elite 4. Only had couple of missions left. Finished in one sitting. The game is really fun, though I didn’t play it stealthily, would find a place to sit and then snipe as many as I can, then go and kill others and find next place to sit and snipe.

To me this is the beauty of a well done stealth action game. It's great pure stealth. But because AI is so critical to well done stealth, they usually also allow you to get a little wild playing with the AI when you're willing to let yourself be caught. Sniper Elite, Hitman, The Last of Us are all good at this. Because the enemy behavior is designed correctly, being seen is just more of the fun instead of a failure, and getting back to stealth is just as fun as finding the right approach in the first place is.


Opened up Fire Emblem: Three Houses on my switch for the first time in a while as my "partial attention" game. I like something I can pick up and put down without pausing for sports with commercials, and it's NFL playoffs and Celtics season.

I started Hitman's rogue lite mode a few days ago, and I really like how the approach adds stakes instead of just letting me save scum, and unlocking gear for just this run combined with the unpredictability of maps/targets really encourages me to be creative in a way that the unlimited sandbox sometimes makes feel stale. I'm not sure if I'll keep playing that on PC or go to the Last of Us 2's No Return mode. I'm a big fan of AAA 3D games with polished mechanics that play well at high difficulty adding the mode, though, because I love making games brutal enough that I have to beat my head against a wall some, but sometimes repeating the same encounter feels like I'm just memorizing that encounter better instead of improving my approach generally.

That's not unnecessary?

And it's not remotely possible that even one game would not exist as a result of laws requiring companies provide the capability to continue to play them when they stop hosting. The burden is less than negligible compared to the revenue those games provide.

Killing unnecessary always online horseshit would be a huge benefit by itself.

Companies wouldn't stop making multiplayer games. There's too much money.

Good luck.

You'd need new legislation to have any legal case (for future games obviously). There aren't laws that entitle you to access to the servers forever or for the game to work without servers.

I'd be all for "you must release all necessary code (or at least all the technical details to replicate the interactions) to replace the server when you shut it down, or make the entire game fully playable without server interaction", but even writing those laws in a comprehensive way would be hard, let alone getting them passed or enforcing them.

In terms of hiring soft bullshit coaches, sure, but his rosters and team building are pretty consistently good. This team would roll if the coach wasn't a disaster.

It makes it clear that they're guidelines and not requirements. I'm not sure how styling is inappropriate.

And the title and description don't mention his use case anywhere.

It's a reader app that supports extensions.

These extensions can be used to parse piracy sites, among other things, so a publisher went apeshit and harassed them into saying "fuck it".

Straight up let's plays are maybe ambiguous.

Short clips are clearly fair use and they harass them too.
