And in this case, literally.

I wish people would name and shame the company that does this type of bullshit.

Yeah, pretty out of left field but I'm happy they're doing it since it's such a pain to get the original running on a modern system.

For you as a .de user, probably not much right now outside of you getting to make fun of the incompetence of Americans with a dementia addled man who has a book of Hitlers speeches on his nightstand in charge of a waning super power.

Longer term, there are going to be impacts to you as he destabilizes the global markets, screws with the energy market, this time with Canada, which might be good for you guys, and continues to deteriorate trade and military alliances with America's allies.

And at any rate, it's always good to make fun of fascists, their ego's can't stand being mocked.

One of my favorite adventure games and really hard to get stable with emulation so I'm actually pretty excited about this.

Well you know conservatives say about the three boxes? Same goes for all Americans.

These idiot moderate Democrats can't seem to stop snatching defeat from the jaws of victory time and time and time again. These abject failures at leadership can never seem to read the god damn room.

And the member of the Democratic party keep electing these morons in and appointing them to leadership.

No, I fully got the neoliberal will suck off any corpo-fascist no matter who for that sweet money.

Ryan Crosswell, a former prosecutor for the Justice Department, suggested that his opponent, retired firefighter Bob Brooks, was a “flawed candidate” because he hadn’t gone to college. Brooks pounced. “Sorry I wasn’t lucky enough to go to college,”

The appeal of this argument isn’t hard to understand when you consider that more than 60 percent of American adults don’t have a four-year college degree.

This interaction just pisses me off though. Democrats and Progressives I don't think should be shying away from making secondary education affordable, something that every other nation has pretty much learned, is still the best way for people to make a living and making informed decisions that aren't rooted in knee jerk reactions. Sorry but that's where the world is heading and has been heading for a long while. I think that focusing on primary education and attempting to fix that Republican mess is good, they still need to talk about secondary education affordability and expand that out to include trade schools and advanced manufacturing training too.

My two cents.

Notice that since 2009 the trend of physical media sales. This isn't a new thing here and was a trend that well before this whole "scandal" of getting rid of physical media from the three console makers.

It was the gamers that moved away from physical media well before the industry made these decisions. It was the gamers that decided convenience is more important than having a physical copy of a game. I honestly view this as the industry simply catching up to the dynamics of the gamer market here and this was something that the gamer market brough largely by themselves. At this point, I think it would be more beneficial to the gamer to focus on making sure we have the same rights over digital goods as we do with physical media, including the ability to sell our keys withing the ecosystem.

Now don't get me wrong, I'm still an advocate for having physical media but I'm not going to be some kind of hypocritical outrage machine when I myself have so much more digital games vs physical games and basically treat physical media as a treat just like vinyl.

I've got no real qualms about private schools as long as they don't get a single lick of tax money and you're still taxed the same amount as everyone else for public school, no tax credits, no help, no nothing. You can private all you want as long as you pay for public school like everyone else. and as for homeschool, I'm with you there.

Well I guess I'm boycotting that business too except to use the restroom because let's face it, they're cleaner than most any other business.

Wear your politics on your sleeve and I'll vote with my wallet.

Why change something that works?

I think that this type of attack on democracy and the US should count as treason that a fine isn't going to take care of.

I mean it's exactly to Republican plan as those areas controlled by the party of Idiot America, tore apart education and the ability to have any critical thinking skills. You now have generations of people who will believe anything they hear without thinking for a single beat.

Democracy died under Bezos.

Nice to know they're planning on how to enact fascism in the best way possible.

I still contend these abandon people are complete and abject morons that deserve what they got with their absolutely asinine decision.

Still glad they took their heads out of their asses and that the Democratic voters also took a bit of their heads out of their asses.

And this is why even if you absolutely hate the moderate asshats in the Democratic party, you should remain registered and vote in each and every primary.

Congrats to Angie Nixon on fighting the good fight and winning!

Shouldn't dismember a journalist?
