We criticize DRM but can the PC gaming industry really survive without it? by maxwoodin truegaming

[–]Laniius 0 points1 point ago

That does nothing to fix the problem though. All they see are the sales, so no fucks are given. Either don't play it or just pirate it of you disagree with the DRM, but doing both does nothing in my opinion.

Honestly, I can't answer this question. I don't know enough about the industry. All I know is that Diablo III's DRM, to use a popular example, directly resulted in a lost sale for me. There's no other game I refused to buy because of DRM, but I don't buy new games that often and am happy with Steam usually (for the record, offline mode works for me, except for ME2 but I think that was something to do with the Cerberus network or something).

I'm moving to a new place in a few weeks. Anybody know where I could get some decent cheap/free boxes? by marlyman22in Edmonton

[–]Laniius 0 points1 point ago

Check out all the big box stores and even little ones too. I used to work for the Source and every day we got deliveries in boxes that were a perfect size for moving. They all ended up in the garbage/recycle.

41% of Americans identify as "pro-choice," a record-low in Gallup polling by es-335in Foodforthought

I consider myself pro-life. I think abortion is a terrible thing that should never be done, when we have things like adoption or whatever available for unwanted children.

However, I realize that it is not my decision to make. More importantly, I am male so will never be pregnant myself so I have no way of knowing what it would be like for a woman in that situation.

RCMP ‘to ease Canadians into the idea’ of U.S. agents in Canada by iheartbakonin canada

Weren't the prisons and their stance on crime fully apparent last election? If you don't support those, why vote Conservative at all?

As has been said many a time, the F35 is practically useless for the purposes we would need it for in the Arctic.

Vince Li, The greyhound bus killer, speaks out by empathyxin canada

As someone who deals with mental illness (depression) and whose family deals with the same (Mom is bipolar) it's not that simple. I've no experience with schizophrenia, but in the case of bipolar disorder you aren't rational and during manic episodes feel like you can take on the world - you don't want to get help because you "aren't sick." For myself, even seeking help with depression was difficult - someone not in possession of their full faculties would have an even harder time. It's not always a simple matter of "choice."

In my case I didn't have enough energy to seek help until I was on the edge of suicide. My Mom didn't want help because she was full of energy and life. A schizophrenic might not get help because the voices tell him not to, to oversimplify things a bit.

Diablo 3 and Torchlight 2. They are a testament to our changing industry. by Cheeseterin Games

[–]Laniius 1 point2 points ago

For me, the always on requirement of Diablo is a take-away rather than add-on. I don't play multiplayer - and even if I did this would turn me off. I sometimes want to play at my Mom's house and she doesn't have wifi. If the net goes down at my house I want to still play my game. Also, in my area more companies are talking about usage based billing, which means I may start having to pay for Internet gigabyte by precious gigabyte.

Always on Internet requirement is a dealbreaker.

Just want to say I agree with you - the very fact that this conversation and comparison is happening is a big thing, whatever one's beliefs on DRM etc.

Of course we do to save time. Acronyms are important because you only live once. Or as I like to say, AAIBYOLO.

I was (and still am) poor. I would have rather a uniform than people ragging on me for my outdated and/or second hand clothes. Now I have no worries, but then I did.

I love how if you watch closely around the 3 minute mark you can see he had a forever alone slide prepared just in case she said no.

I hate to be "that guy", but have you considered adopting? Lots of lonely children out there with nobody to care for them.

Did anyone else feel this way about tonight's episode? S2.08 [TV Spoilers] by hoboking99in gameofthrones

This didn't make sense to me. If they wanted to kill or hurt her, they would have at that meeting.

Ok fellow book readers, best interaction from last night? (S02E08) (Book Spoilers in Comments) by I_Joe_Cooperin gameofthrones

[–]Laniius 8 points9 points ago

I actually think that it shows the superiority of Varys in playing the game compared to Tyrion. Tyrion is playing one game of chess, while Varys is playing 3 or more.

In the books, Jon would be the top. He's all sad and Sam's all energetic in the tv show, so Sam's the top there.
