I was thinking more along the lines of, "let people pirate. Here’s a megayacht’.

Everyone has a price. Maybe a superyacht or two from Gabe’s fleet?

Ireland and the Netherlands are most definitely heavyweights.

But I agree with the sentiment, can we not editorialise headlines, please?

I had to double back to this comic, because I only got the pun two minutes after I scrolled past it…

The gympie-gympie is 100% natural! It is a cure-all, mainly by making you forget whatever ails you because you’re in too much pain…

Yes but it still looks like wombat shit. Exceedingly formidable wombat shit.

Yes, but no. That’s the whole point of the rebranding. You will not find the words “Good Old Games” anywhere in their official materials when referring to themselves. They are now “just” GOG.

They still use “good old game” as a tag for some of the games they sell. But they will never utter those words when referring to themselves in any capacity.

Is it silly? Maybe. But it’s a valid marketing strategy. How effective is it? I don’t know. Maybe ask BP.

They were Good Old Games for about 4 years until 2012, when they started selling modern games and rebranded to just GOG, dropping the whole “old games” moniker.

(Yeah, I’m also old. I was there when they rebranded, but I thought it was recently, around 2020!)

stores from EA, Ubisoft or Epic

Better yet, games

As a parent, I reckon a voluntary system like this (if I understand correctly) could be very handy. I could create a child account and automatically get age gated content for it.

And when said child is smart enough to circumvent the system, then they deserve whatever content they manage to get their hands on. I’d be so proud.

But I’m sure capitalism would find a way to abuse and misuse the system for gains.

Yeah and it’s also bizarre that these companies released a native version, then… not test it? Why even bother?

You know how people used to put pictures of their loved ones in a locket, or in their wallets, or as a background pic on their phones? That’s what they were supposed to be. (As told by a catholic friend)

I can accept that. I have one of my kids in the car cause I used to drive like a maniac. It’s a constant reminder of the kind of person I should be while driving.

But of course, people will be people, ignoring what they’re told and doing whatever the hell they like… “This statue cried blood, let’s pray to it!” (and ignore the leaking toilet upstairs)

There’s a missing implied knowledge they forgot to mention: ProtonDB tracks games on Steam. So it’s 90% of windows games available on Steam (without a native Linux build)

… when charged particles move faster than the speed of light

So that got me curious, and found this

nothing travels faster than light in vacuum, but light can be slowed down and something can travel faster than this “slower” light

Somehow I’ve gone through decades of life without knowing this…

Oh, you guys use little endian!

Wdym? I counted fou… oooh the extra one holding the plug. Yeah definitely slop.

Grew up watching news of Palestinians and Israelis killing each other. Good thing that was 40 years ago.

but how

I know this sounds cliche as, but I just try to fix it one smile at a time.

Mum used to tell me this story and it has stuck with me for more than forty years.

Two kids were walking at the beach when they saw thousands of beached fish, gasping for their lives. So one kid picked up a fish and threw it back in the water. The friend said, “there’s thousands of them, you’re not making a difference!”. “Well, I did for that one”.
