May I introduce my 1999 base engine VW Golf to you?

Honest question: How do you earn a living if you’re never in the same place for too long? I cannot see how those folks manage unless they’re so wealthy they can live off interest or they do remote work of some kind.

They obviously crossed the border, since the article mentions they came from France. Being able to travel to another country doesn’t mean you can do whatever you please, though.

No, it’s the other way around of course. The neo-colonized borrow from the neo-colonizer.

I appreciate the thought behind it, but please just follow the traffic rules and be predictable. I can wait.

Or any of the shops listed at Is There Any Deal.

Sixteen times the detail!

630 USD for me, but I almost never purchase full price games and a lot of my Steam library games was purchased on those non-shady game key stores.

Brave Sir Robin.

I’d buy it for PC at some point.

Emissions from burning fossil fuels that poison our air is a completely different issue than microplastics that poison our water, soil and everything that comes from that. Two separate issues that need to be addressed at the same time.

But you are also paid, which is alright.

You can claim the quote is Fair Use and that your shitty business model depends on it.

You’re special.

I’ve recently upgraded to a 7900 XT graphics card and am running it at 3.0x16. A new SSD is waiting for me as well, which will actually be bottlenecked by my B450 board. It is what it is and will make no real world difference to me; the B450 will have to make do until AM6 is released.

A proud Polish girl, dude.

Mengele vibes right there.

CEO and corporate bullshit aside, it’s sad what the series became before Volition was eventually shut down. The first game could probably be described as a GTA clone, without being harsh. The second game was fantastic, at least if you disregard the flawed PC port. I played it on Xbox 360 back in the day and to this day, the cut scenes are some of the best I’ve seen in a video game. The side activities were bonkers, overall just a great game. Saints Row: The Third was pretty ambitious and I didn’t like the over-the-top scenario with aliens and whatnot. Saints Row IV was okay-ish, but lacked focus and direction. I was glad that I played it several years after its initial release for a very low price.

Saints Row as a franchise is pretty much exemplary for the game industry in this day and age. They release a good first game, which is fun despite some flaws. Then they improve on that and release a fantastic second game in the series. It sells well, so they decide to hire more people, expand the scope and make a more over-the-top third game. That still sells well, but somehow feels erratic and hollow. Then they continue the downward spiral until the suits pull the plug after five games and the studio is disbanded. Money is killing the game industry, but not the way the corpo from the article thinks.

Now I feel challenged to do the same and have my inactive account banned.
