Say the names together quickly and it sounds like the tire company, Michelin.

I just realized I dated someone with that name as her first and middle name.

Kicking myself that I never realized this obvious joke.

Say: Sorry for what?

Women are the most vulnerable in the world and the most important thing is that they are not alone

Edit: to be fair I have been arguing with my family about reproductive rights for awhile (US)

Which are bangin’ btw. Spicy goldfish. My kid loves them.

I don’t think you meant it like this but I couldn’t help reading it in the cadence of “if you’re sliding into first and your pants are gonna burst, diarrhea” lol

It’s the equivalent of Persona 5 being followed by Persona 5 Royal with its added content.

You definitely get it. Pure satire.

Possibly generally more liberal but my personal anecdote as a raised Catholic- now non Christian , is that Catholics are only marginally less crazy than evangelicals. All Catholics I know are super conservative.

Edit: I know Biden identifies as Catholic and I’m not claiming my personal experience is comprehensive. Biden is the only Pro-Choice Catholic I’ve ever known of. Most people I know don’t even consider Biden a true Catholic because of his stances.

You make good points. I was not completely clear in my post.

There are situations where what you say is true. (Were they setup that way intentionally though, for this very reason? Don’t think we will ever truly know.) There are certain multiplayer focused games that could be destroyed by client side affirming. I get that there are legitimate situations that makes this difficult for corps.

There are licensing issues as well but so many games face this and many offer “streamer friendly” options where the licensing of the music isn’t an issue.

Many of these live service/ server dependent games are completely completable single player and they could disable any licensed music/ multiplayer licensed components? Most of them are P2P anyway like Helldivers 2.

These are the ones I draw issue with.

Edit: to your point of multiple servers; why couldn’t we host the required servers privately if they so wished?

Why is this too much to ask? (I get the Capitalist why)

I feel like a lot of my grievances with live service games, outside of predatory mtx, is this inevitable endpoint of losing this game and all your achievements/ experiences/ progress.

This could also help solve a lot of Ross Scott’s (yt: accursed farms) lawsuits against live service games. In their case, The Crew

Let us host this ourselves if we wish. From a corporate perspective You can always lock the updated latest and greatest behind your currently supported game.

I know the reality is greed

You said it yourself. Co-pays, and deductibles.

You’re right. Imagine yourself or a dependent having complicated medical issues. Well actually, don’t imagine it. It’s a nightmare. Worst part of the illness is dealing with the insurance no doubt.

You seem oblivious to the realities of most insurance plans in the US.

Thank you for providing some reason. I’m glad the person you’re replying to has never had crappy insurance before. This bill is completely within the US standards especially with a high deductible plan.

1v1 vs. the one that won the 1v20 at some point though…

Sounds like business as usual for Atlus

Not the person you were replying to. The word you were looking for was solitude. Very good English otherwise!

I wonder if Square Enix was aware of this issue before launch.
