This sounds awesome. I hope to be backgrounding it some day.

You’re unfortunately correct

What a fine use of tax dollars. The pedophiles are fine, but gotta get those content pirates.

Partly depends on the service you’re using, but short version is use the closest connection you can that isn’t in the EU.

It’s not like they don’t have the authority…

The old lessons. The value of a dollar (or local equivalent, obviously). Don’t “buy” unless you’re getting something that can’t be taken away, that’s called renting. That you, even as a individual, have power of the ‘contract’, you want the product, but they want your money, so don’t let them convince you your money is worth less. One important one from the Noah post: Make sure you have a way of getting at least some of your money back. Cockstar are doing everything they can to ensure they have full control of the market. Increased prices, no second-hand options. That spells a world where games stop going on sale too. The idiot who buys this con makes that potential one step closer to reality.

Oh, and one of the most important lessons; don’t shill for an entity that wouldn’t piss on you if you were on fire. These people who’re making up excuses for Rockstar making these anti-consumer decisions are only fighting against their own interests and clearly never received the much-needed slap up side the head they should have had long ago. What they chucklefucks are doing is a direct equivalent to a bit in Scrubs where the joke is a character is so nice he’d likely show you how to strangle him if you were doing it poorly and the cut-away shows him mentoring on how best to strangle him and cheering on the wannabe killer. Corpo loyalists, this is you, you’re the idiots telling them how to best strangle you.

I agree. People are nowhere near mad enough about companies doing everything they can to screw over the customer. At least have the backbone to demand lube, damnit.

Sounds like parents are shit in multiple ways then.

*Play Only Has One Limit: Corpo Bullshit

Very fair. I’m not a Soulslike player by any real capacity, but I really feel for the Bloodborne fans who’ve been patiently waiting all this time and had their faithfulness spat back in their faces.

And Sony and all of the others will get used to insolvency

Any time I see this “I don’t understand what the problem is” what I hear is “I’m incapable of putting myself in the minds of others”.

Some of us don’t even get to play Yotei since Sony decided they’re going to speedrun being a bunch of twats.

The ones that used to exist, at least. I don’t see too many private individuals joining up now.

I think it’s more that they’re implying the company is likely to get worse in the future and start trying shit, not what they’ve already experienced. The price now being nearly 10x what it once was is a pretty big red flag, after all.

Only downside to the crack is it’s behind on updates, unlike the HV version. I’m not dissing it, just letting people know.

Thanks for the news. I’ve been waiting to give my friend the thumbs up for months now.

Using AMD VCE, I’ve been able to do the same with a remux, taking it from 33GB down to 5GB. My first attempt on that one got the file size all the way down to 3GB but there was some rough artifacting on the studio logos at the start and intro credits. I decided the extra 2GB was worth it for that minor bump. Bizarrely, the rest of the film seemed fine but I could have missed something since I didn’t bother with a full watch.

Spoken like someone who has no clue how to use Handbrake.

You could consider running your collection through Handbrake. It’s pretty easy to shed 90% of video file size while barely losing any noticeable quality.

This couldn’t be less the judge saying ‘I really want you guys to beat the shit out of Facebook, but we have to do this properly and you guys suck.’
