When I played the original Fatal Frame it was unlike anything I had played at the time. The Penumbra series was also up there.

These 2 series lead to me realizing I disassociate when I watch or play horror and I stopped consuming that genre.

This is very much a case of "When the rich play games, it is the poor that lose". There is no positive outcome from this, regardless of what side of this story you are on.

There absolutely is, call the cops. Take a video of the drone spying on you as evidence. Spying on your neighbors is illegal, you just can't take the law into your own hands and shoot it out of the sky.

I do wish there was more power we had as individuals to stop this but I do not think using a dangerous weapon to destroy it which could potentially also harm another human is the solution either.

While Warframe is a perfect example of a well done FTP model, you can buy a lot of stuff with real money in Warframe, it isn't just cosmetics. But it has limited PVP and the community is fairly friendly, so it isn't so much Pay-To-Win as it is Pay-To-Not-Work-Hard.

It isn't bi, it is an Indigenous term meaning they are both masculine and feminine. The closest we have otherwise is non-binary or gender-fluid. But in Indigenous communities (at least historically, I'm not overly familiar with how 2-spirit people are treated currently) they were a part of the spiritual leadership of those communities.

This is what I use when creating baselines for different price-points:

If you feel like you'll need more RAM or a bigger SSD then that's a simple thing to do but this will give you all of the components you need for a solid system at whatever your price point is.

That said, the "Great" range and up will play pretty much anything. You can even play pretty much any game on the "Good" range and up. So if you are looking to save money, I'd say the "Great" range will last you a good 5 years right now at least.

I understand the purpose of the article and it is important to be critical of whatever party is in power because they certainly aren't going to do the right thing for the sake of doing the right thing. I'm not a supporter of the Liberal party but this article doesn't really point out the issue. The issue is the misplacement of blame.

The article talks about how the Federal Liberals aren't doing anything about housing and consumer affordability but those are provincial issues. Yukon, Newfoundland, and British Columbia are the only provinces currently not run by conservatives. The most effective communications the Federal Liberals could do would be to educate the populace on what is within their power to change and what is a provincial responsibility. It likely won't matter much because a large number of voters aren't interested in educating themselves on politics. But the majority don't understand Federal vs Provincial vs Municipal jurisdiction.

Ultimately, I think the only thing the Federal Liberals can do is focus on the messaging. They are achieving important things but they can't change the things that are impacting the average Canadian on a day-to-day basis. Minimum wage is a provincial issue. Rent and housing is a provincial issue. Health care is a provincial issue. Heck, even the climate change stuff the Provincial Conservatives fought tooth-and-nail on and lost but continue to refuse to address it themselves. I'm not sure what the writer of the article is expecting the Federal government to do other than trying to inform the populace of what they can control and where they need the provinces to do their part to solve these crises.

Even the PS3 game can be played via an emulator. The tech is still evolving so you still need a fairly powerful computer but it is playable. For reference, I was able to test archiving various PS3 games on my now 11 year old gaming PC which was a medium-tier system at the time of the build.

While what you say is absolutely correct, keep in mind that the profits a game makes go to the company. The workers are already paid. If a game doesn't make money it would likely mean those people at the bottom would lose their jobs but the people at the top will absolutely get their share. But stealing a game like this doesn't mean people aren't getting paid. If Bethesda feels like the game doesn't need all of the staff it took to make it, they'll still get rid of them, regardless of how popular the game may be doing at any given time.

Indie game studios stand a better chance at doing right by their employees but a capitalist society means the profits go to the top and the losses go to the bottom and rarely are indie studios exempt from this rule of economics.

This person is being punished because they found a weakness in Bethesda's setup and exploited it. It MIGHT be that if they had gone to Bethesda and let them know of this vulnerability rather than trying to sell what they had found that they would be been rewarded. But, more often than not, the companies who are shown a vulnerability still seek to punish those who point it out to them.

Fire Emblem Three Houses again - So much changes between the 3 different stories in that game, it is so much bigger than I initially realized. When my partner was talking about what happened in their playthrough and it didn't at all resemble my Golden Deer playthrough I realized I'd have to get back to it one day.

Love seeing PE and LoD on here, both incredible games. I would also love to see Xenogears get a remaster that actually fleshes out a lot of the stuff left on the cutting room floor. I know we got Xenosaga - another one that would be great to have on modern hardware - and Xenoblade Chronicles but I truly miss that PS1 era of RPGs sticking with the turn-based model while trying to find ways to be unique.
