So lemme get this straight, the ex-lead on a "game" that's been in dev for years and will likely never actually exist, is looking to release a new game for like 1.4% the cost of the last "game" he worked on? That's hilarious.

You clearly don't know any severely disabled people. To some people, who can do little now but move their eyes in order to control a computer, the internet amounts to what they have left of their entire life. I guarantee you that if they could, they would do what you describe but they can't. But...

It's truly disturbing to me how many people seem to think it's perfectly justifiable for companies whose profits are measured in hundreds of millions of dollars to fuck over an individual... *I will clarify: It doesn't matter if this guy has a leg to stand on or not, I see people saying "who...

Hopefully they'll upgrade the TIM to a dollop of mayo this time.

Pretty sure they only made it look like they "cut the cost". They also reduced the rate of credit accrual such that the "reduced cost" of the unlocks is effectively an illusion.

Likely "awarded" by EA's own alt-accounts. Also, I now have the answer to my original question about this shit, lol.

As expected, really. The iPhone X is not the "real" product. The iPhone 8 is, and that's not working out well for them since there is little to differentiate it from the -now somewhat cheaper and readily available- iPhone 7.

This is revelatory for me. I was not aware of the existence of this branch of Windows 10. Thank you, seriously. (y)

All of you guys who are so blasé, like "oh, I just disable updates" feel free to fill in the rest of us on how this simple thing you're doing which somehow works better than literally isolating windows 10 "enterprise" machines from communicating to sets of DNS records in excess of 20k entries...

That is not effective. I have way more preventive measures in place. My home machine doesn't even talk to windows update directly. It only gets updates from WSUS in my cluster. Yet gee whiz, what's this? "Try the Facebook app, it's already on your machine!" "What the fuck?" MS has gone way...

Nice of the "new" version to also begin silently installing shit like the Facebook app and "Photos Add-on" on top of reinstalling literally all of the stupid shit I de-provisioned using PowerShell. Oh, and silently un-installing f.lux as part of the update. I presume it did this to help push me...

Now I just wonder how Electronic Assholes will fuck it up and make it a shit-show unworthy of purchase.

Fallout 4 with 432 hours, and KSP right behind it at 412 hours.

Update: Replacement drive received. Appears that I got a 4 platter drive.

Yea, it will be nice if the replacement has the newer platter configuration.
