They’re the Disney of gaming, really.

So, this is a basic security principle. If the system of access is too “secure” or too inconvenient, people will create workarounds.

Need keys for all the doors every second of every day? You’ll find duct tape on all the latches.

Password is 15 characters and changes every 60 days? You’re going to find post-its under keyboards.

Spread all digital content across 8 streaming providers that cost about $180/y? Torrent time.

Nintendo wants to brick users for trying to play an out of region game they paid for? They’ll never pay again and will reverse engineering your shit out of spite.

Same thing we saw with the music industry utterly failing to embrace internet distribution. Limewire and bearshare are their fucking lunch.

When will they learn to just make access easy? People, generally, would rather pay than pirate but when you start making shit difficult, nobody wants to play your games anymore and you see massive losses.

Meet your customers where they’re at!

Global, local. I’m Paisley Cornell, and this is NPR.

Sphynx of black quartz, JUDGE MY VOW!

I would like to see an email from him with a bullet point list of five things he did this week.

It’s not left and right, it’s up and down.

“You’ll never have to vote again” was, I believe, the quote, so… Not to minimize this very real problem, but I think we all need to be worried about equal representation, right? 🤣😂😅😢

I don’t disagree, but the systems necessary to make this happen non-destructively just do not exist.

Although it is kind of a downer. In the 70s, they predicted the downfall of society. We’re on track with the prediction, more or less.

Lies, damned lies, and statistics.

Has this energy…

It’s a difficult enough task that I would probably be unable to suspend disbelief.

That said, if your hero has some time and a soldering kit it would be fairly doable and relatively believable. Also keep in mind that most flash drives now have the contacts for the USB port as part of The printed circuit board that has the actual storage on it and usually the actual storage would be encased in resin, at least with a good flash drive.

The cheap ones, you could totally do this though.

Gotta celebrate the little victories.

That’s a very valid point. Never thought about that.

A bloodless coup then?

I just feel bad for all the north Korean citizens. Largely blameless, universally suffering.

I’d like to think that now that Ukraine knows this, they will be quiet about North Korean prisoners. It’s the right choice ethically, but I think there’s probably also stragic gain to be had.

Also, North Korea is dumb, but they’re not plumb dumb. If they kill enough soldiers’ families, they’ll have morale issues. They’re smart enough to “make a few examples” just to keep em terrified. Evil enough too. The whole situation sickens me. Like, I wasn’t a fan of them before but this is a whole new level of evil.

Sacrificing thousands of human lives just to get military tech.

NK needs to be conquered and liberated.

They just know if they’re captured alive, their families die.

This is great, but where’s the post from one month later where this fool is begging for work after being fired?
