I use things like Western Union for international payments. There is little stopping sellers from supporting alternative payment methods apart from laziness.
I've been running a Windows-free home shop for about 6 months now. I am a power user but not a power gamer (impending decrepitude does that).
The only Windows game I am interested in playing is Supreme Commander Forged Alliance and the community client for it, FAF.
Twelve years on, it is still...
I agree with you on that. Sex is a natural and beautiful aspect of the human condition, violence less so, if at all. I'd rather have my kids see hanky panky than violence, but as you say the latter gets a season pass whereas sexuality is deemed the debbils work.
That being said, it isnt as...
The underlying issue is one of double standards. I'm reminded of the whole lesbian backstory thing between two Overwatch characters.
The aim of the backstory isnt to normalize LGBTQI+ personas, but to titillate a predominantly male (and cis/heteronormative) gaming audience. It is a cynical ploy...
The problem is that this sort of halo model pricing normalizes charging, say, 100$ for other lesser ships... Which is yanking the arse out of the chicken to begin with. They arent aiming to make money off of this ship directly - it only exists to make the other stuff appear cheap by juxtaposition.
Here in SA where I live, the gubment and its dogs have their paws deep in the pockets of the telecomms companies. They were made honorary shareholders when democracy rolled around.
The end result is that its an artificially closed market, there are only four licenced telecomms companies, with...
Maybe its an aesthetics thing. My batteries last long enough for when they run out for it to not be a constant annoyance.
My equipment at work is wired and it doesnt get in the way that I even notice it, so theres that.
I also have batteries on hand all the time so its a question of personal...
I use a M$ wireless mouse and keyboard combo that is banging on the 12 year old mark. It just keeps rocking and it still has the teflon feetses.
The batteries on the mouse last forever, two months at least, even with daily use. I buy those big ass combo packs of cheap Agfa batteries so I never...
The blue rectangle Larrabee design is pure minimalist beauty. I hope they continue the trend.
This new design isn't too far off but it's a bit teeny bopper by comparison.
People are a product of their environment. There is no such thing as inherent criminality - only a power imbalance between the haves and the have-nots.
The have-nots get the short end of the stick because the haves have loaded the social dice to protect their interests...
I'm looking forward to Soviet-style make-work game mechanics. They used to do stupid things like have circular production, ferinstance a steel plant melts metal scrap into ingots, this gets sent to a finishing plant that produces bar and sheet, that gets sent to a recycling plant where it gets...

Ima get fucked tonight on my LEGAL pot grown in the comfort of my Johannesburg back yard.
I'll have to find something to do in the darkness though... :cry:
Fuckin Oz nanny state needs to get with the program. They're also confiscating and crushing classic muscle cars if the driver is caught smoking the wheels.
Nice place but needs a bit moar freedom. The real dinkum oil thing, not that yankee party line bullshit.
Thanks for the review!
I'd have liked to have seen V64 numbers thrown into the mix; it makes sense to me that one would want to directly compare the new and the old in addition to the competitor's offerings.
Also, I'm a lazy git and can't be arsed to go dig up numbers.
With Google quietly planning to bork their browser plugin landscape, a lot of devs (like moi) are concerned about future compatibility of hardware devices accessed from within the sandbox like fingerprint scanners and signature pads. Heck, at work we are still supporting IE8 because an old...
