Yes. To the best of my knowledge there is no restriction, and the only breakages I've noticed in the app in that internal links don't work (links to a post on a sub just opens the sub) and I can't view the "other discussions" page on a post.

and demand refunds on any game that adds it after purchase.

This, which is in my original fucking message, applies here. If you think the effort is futile, fine, whatever, don't try. But my statement was made with full understanding of the timeline, and I stand by it. Feel free to read the rest of the comments in the thread for further discussion of the timeline, or feel free to fuck off, I guess; I'm not in the mood to indulge a pedant clearly just looking for an argument.

Yes, because they understand the meaning and are making a play off of it. I genuinely do not believe anyone over the age of 12 who uses the term "rawdog" isn't completely and fully aware of the meaning when they use it.

Where did I even remotely imply otherwise?

There are plenty of anti-cheat measure that doesn't require invasive access to your system or performance hits. The objection is not to fighting cheating, it is with the specific overreaching methodology chosen to do so.

Also I personally rarely play multiplayer so it's even more frustrating to have bullshit installed on my system for a feature that doesn't even apply to me.

My favorite CAD related meme is still B^U personally.

Also like, food and water you acquire is food and water you don't have to purchase or otherwise gain, meaning you can use the resources you would have used on food on military operations instead.

Sadly, a lot of their customers will be pissed about this but will be first in line buying other Rockstar games.

Then they aren't pissed enough. But yes, talking the talk is completely meaningless if you don't also walk the walk, I agree.

Companies like Rockstar certainly would meet any requests for refunds outside of very recently purchased with “Go kick rocks.”

If you let them, sure. The reason we use phrases like "fight for a refund" is because these things are hard and they take effort. Like yes it sucks to have to do that and yes I understand our time is valuable, but as I see it there is value in both having your voice heard and punitively costing an offending company manhours in having to deal with you - even if you ultimately do not win the fight.

Again, the point isn't about winning or getting your money back, it's about not being passive and just accepting the things that happen to you as if you do not have autonomy.

If you mod a sub, you can still use third party apps for some reason. I have a tiny, practically private sub, and I can still use the Boost app for reddit with no problem.

Yep. The difference is one side is rubbing their hands excitedly while saying it.

Loss is only funny with the context of what an enormous shithead Buckley was online for years prior; it was the juxtaposition of sanctimony in the comic against his awful miscreant behavior that makes it laughable to begin with.

If you weren't around and involved in the scene to see the kind of person Buckley was when loss was released, then you're just laughing at an echo of a joke.

No thanks. Games that choose to sign with the anti-consumer storefront don't deserve my attention as the consumer.

 

Jonny Craig is a complicated man, but that voice is nigh-legendary

 

I just heard this song for the first time yesterday. The slow-down effect is cool and the chorus is hilarious as fuck. Definitely worth the listen

 

Holy shit that bassline is gritty as fuck

 

You won't be wrong if you say this song sucks, but also that bridge is fucking hilarious. "Twerkle pit" randomly pops into my head all the damn time.
