I don’t really follow gaming “journalism” as much as I used to, but I thought that RPS was pretty reputable, at least compared to IGN and it’s contemporaries. Has something changed?

That guy rubbed me the wrong way especially at the end talking about how you can’t trust people “related to the pirating scene” and their claims about Denuvo, but you can totally trust the people who make it and need to make money off it.

Also the Denuvo dude referencing a study and using it to show why companies need Denuvo and then walking it back and saying he doesn’t trust the study because it also shows that after 3 months it’s useless was honestly just kind of funny.

I guess since I’ve pirated a game before I’m “related to the scene” so my opinion therefore is invalid in the eyes of the all mighty denuvo but I hope they crash and burn, and if it’s true that they hire the people who crack their games I hope they fuck it up from the inside while getting paid.

I had an employee direct me to self checkout at a fucking gas station were I was the only customer in the store. Shits pathetic.

It doesn’t, it’s because people shoplift at self checkout all the time and the big retailers can’t figure out how to stop it. Almost every shop in my town forces you to do self checkout, they don’t even have cashiers most of the time. Last time I was at my local walmart they had like 6 self checkouts and 4 cashiers just standing there staring at everyone trying to find shoplifters. They still can’t find them though lol.

So what exactly did Kendrick do wrong? Are you upset he didn’t go to the police?

What’s the difference between an expat and an immigrant?

Your phone has a speaker, just use that to listen to music in the car.

And then after I spend over $100 on a decent stereo, $50 for an adapter for my car, and the $80 to have some kid install it for me I’ll be $250 in the hole and still paying for a Spotify subscription so I can listen to music that’s not shit. Or for $100 I could buy a cheap ass tablet and shove it into my air vent.

Who’s the monopoly here on Lemmy? The collective group of individuals that disagree with you? Because that’s almost the literal opposite of a monopoly.
