Opening the narrative with “I’ve seen things” in this way that people expect the Blade Runner Quote and then ending it with the “you wouldn’t believe” part is genius writing

I just saw the Uber case and realized that this in definitely way differently in the US. I was not aware that completely getting around the law was such a common practice. I thought that Disney thing was a rarity

Yeah - it’s an art to find the perfect mix between “sounds complicated enough that they zone out”, “sounds like stuff gets done” and “not making people ask if you need help with that”.

How often are you reading about someone suing and then that lawsuit (which is already in court) being dropped because they got a better offer for an arbitration/settlement out of court? For me that’s a very common thing to read for bigger cases.

But I agree that forced arbitration with not even a chance to take it to court if you don’t like the offer is horrible for the consumer

Arbitration doesn’t save money. You still need lawyers.

of course - but usually it’s way faster than getting a proper court-ruling - and since lawyers are paid per hour that makes a big difference

Isn’t it often in both parties to settle things out of court? For the one that’d sue it’s usually more money at less cost and the company gets around possibly having a bad precedent set and the bad publicity to potentially losing in court.

This is probably aimed at people creating issues in the hopes of getting a settlement for something that has a slim (but Nonzero) chance to hold up in court.

It’s a company - I think this aims at people only bringing serious claims and reducing the paperwork for them - but since it’s Valve people will glorify everything they do

That guy legitimately made his hobby into his job.

There’s 0 reasons for him to still keep updating the game with as much content as he’s doing except for his own satisfaction. Truly the best developer a game can have

Yeah those SR-games where amazing storytelling

You mean the one pretty much every manufacturer did that just got associated with Volkswagen since they were the first to get caught?

My rule of thumb is that “recyclable” is 99% greenwashing and 1% a clueless business actually meaning well.

Everything is recyclable to some degree - if they wanted to do something for the environment it should be made from recycled material instead of advertising that it’s possible to recycle the material they used

I’m pretty sure one of the newer add-ons of the original game has controller support as one of its features

Titan Quest is my personal GOAT game. Aged fantastically well, too.

Really interested to see how this will go

My go-to game for the question: “if you could forget a game just to experience it all over again” such a perfect game

But the available vaccine for pox is also working for this one, right?

And even if they don’t keep it: they got browser-level Adblock- and Tracking-Filters that you can just feed the same lists you’d put into uBlock

Sure it’s lacking the spot-blocking, tool if there’s a missed ad or a fine-tuned whitelisting but I think that browser will stay usable even if V3 is implemented.
