It's quite a thing, that could only be a product of the 70s. Might make you go "huh?", and is almost certainly the only context I feel comfortable with the word transvestite today.

Yeah but then I'm up and sitting there like "oh shit, what the hell did I do yesterday?"

Just have to give it more time. Probably more than usual. 🥁

To be fair, it's software specifically designed to run digital backups of what's supposed to be personally owned media. It just so happens that it's very easy to obtain a copy otherwise, but there's nothing inherently illegal about it or the games.

Strong arming independent projects, and individual developers especially, that are very careful to not endorse that, effectively holding them accountable for others, is morally questionable at best.

Inhaling this so fast I end up with a Venn Diaphragm

Real talk, I thought he had died, but maybe I just assumed or expected given hospice and the passing of his wife. For some reason I thought her name was Linda Carter, but Lynda Carter was wonder woman, if that says anything of my intelligence...

In any case, I hear triple digits is a big one, and may he not rest in peanuts just yet.

Recite your text of choice in Latin while formatting for full effect

Edit: or vacuum out the fans Luigi's mansion style for practicality

Tbh that is what I heard and wikipedia told me otherwise lol

Edit: probably the same word for both in Thai if I'm guessing. Is it wrong if it's cuter to refer to her as food?

Well shit, that's concerning. Even if it's more nuanced than it seems at first glance... Which, to be fair, is probably even more nefarious in the end. Terms agreements are wack enough to begin with.

And the name means "bouncy pig"

It's like post-marketing. You're already a user/customer, but companies still want to put psychological hooks in you.

Kind of reminds me of steam's insane discounts or epic giving away games. That's more geared toward bringing people in, maybe.

I'd like to believe some instances of this sort of thing can be out of genuine appreciation for supporters, but I might just be naive... It is straight out of the abuser's handbook.
