So use a throwaway email that was made with a fake name if you're that paranoid. I use Linux, a VPN, a fork of Vivaldi centered on even more privacy and run anticheat games in a VM so they can try to access a system32 and browser history (as I watch) that does not exist. I'm not being snippy, I'm just saying that my stance on this is that it isn't worth the hassle to me. Also, fwiw, people who are genuinely affected by this and not preferentially affected (like me) are going to get their copies bricked because PSN isn't in their country. Users on reddit are reporting the whole "pick a random address and location and just make a throwaway PSN!" have been banned for trying this in the past with other games, or recently for hd2 if they didn't buy it in the grace period AH gave everyone. A fake email and or address hopping goes against Sony ToU sadly. --- Since only from below can one better see the heights. http://i.imgur.com/OhZgm.jpg |

The press release implies players were warned this would happen. Were they? On a technicality. The store page says it is required; on launch day, maybe the day after too, it had a button to skip tying in your PSN. If you bought it any time after the launch day(s) you never got prompted and, unless you scrolled all the way down and read the store front, had no idea it needed it. --- Since only from below can one better see the heights. http://i.imgur.com/OhZgm.jpg |

They also want your telemetry data and purchase history via Steam so that they can sell those target points to data farms. I got about 110h out of the game and got all the stuff I wanted, played what I wanted to. But there's no chance I'm registering for one of the least secure networks there is just to keep playing a game on PC. --- Since only from below can one better see the heights. http://i.imgur.com/OhZgm.jpg |

I'm pretty sure part of the point of Family Guy is that all of the main characters are terrible in their own ways. It wasn't originally. The first run of Family Guy is still surprisingly funny and has some classic gags, but it's usually well mannered and has some kind of (mostly absurdist) moral at the end. They made every single character vile, unlikable killers/thieves/abusers/actual maniacs much later on. --- Since only from below can one better see the heights. http://i.imgur.com/OhZgm.jpg |
| Topic | Is George Carlin considered "smart" humor? |
| C-zom 05/02/24 1:50:51 PM #4 | Grouchy old man is also an awful take. He did it a few times in his youth, a few final times in old age, but his hobbling old man bit was just a bit. Even if you watch interviews near his death he was very soft spoken, polite and kind.
He started his early years of comedy just by being the censorship envelope pusher, making fun of banned words or media. Then he switched to a little bit of absurdism, starting his "scenarios" he'd keep until the end. Pocket dimension all your stuff got lost in, banned words skit, etc. His 70s-80s stuff was very pro-stoner and safe but contrarian. He became politically jaded in the 90s and never, ever looked back. There's a long list of reasons for this and they're actually pretty sad/well reasoned. He had an abusive family, hated fame, and struggled with detaching from a very draconian catholic schooling system in his teens and youth. The beatings kind, not the finger wagging kind nowadays. His last string of specials eventually just became tedtalks/one sided philosophy debates we see people watching more regularly in this era, arguably veiled as moderate politics. I agree with some of his takes, disagree with most of them, even if they're colored in absurdism we should not have gladiatorial arenas for inmates. His very last tour was a glimpse into philosophical nihilism/pessimism that, luckily, we didn't see a lot more from. Very, very sad and bitter takes on literally all walks/aspects of life. Calling everyone stupid, the system broke, kids pointless, votes didn't matter. It got scary. Poor dude was broken down to oblivion by the end. Edit: as is frequent in modern culture and the amalgamation of political spectrums into 1s or 0s, he was actually very far left and progressive even for his time up until his death. Hated corruption from either party, which is why I briefly mentioned moderate coded above which is where he'd fit today just left leaning. Not surprised, but hate, that misguided fans of him use him as a conservative bugle. And left leaning younger generation from today dismiss him as a codgy old man when he's more similar to Sanders than Trump. --- Since only from below can one better see the heights. http://i.imgur.com/OhZgm.jpg |

This bill effectively reverses market specific throttling/caps, artificial broadband barriers and tiered monthly plans bundling "priority" to other shit (e.g: Verizon w/ Netflix, Comcast w/ Disney+) all actually ran a tiny bit better when purchased that way. I'll try to dig up the benchmarks from the old overclock forums. There was the infamous Netflix bitrate problem that still persists to this day depending on what ISP, app/program/browser you use to watch. That's NN stuff. Now it's back to the 2010-2015ish ISP plans. Fixed speed, fixed price, modem/router rental fee being the only hidden cost allowed, etc. Some have monthly data limits, some don't, has always been allowed. It's theoretically a bit more difficult for them to track your VPN, but that was back then, nowadays ISP technology has caught up to that shit tremendously anyway. --- Since only from below can one better see the heights. http://i.imgur.com/OhZgm.jpg |
