That’s what it’s become. But, hear me out, what if I want the hardware without the software? Tough luck? Both are so tied together that if the company pulls the rug you don’t have reasonable access to the hardware.

We need more FOSS. If our governments weren’t utterly captured we could publicly fund worthwhile projects.

They don’t. It’s all bad faith to get what they want - control.

I would love to have the same story but more fleshed out appropriate to the character. Add way more exploration of the eras. Maybe a couple more playable characters that are already established in the game like Schala or Azala or one of the gurus in their younger form.

It’s just an exhausting uphill battle that never ends. I don’t have the time or resources to combat monied corporations.

Animate is the closest word I can get to soul. It can be attributed to non living things as well. It’s just complex energy structures within a certain blanket - an embodied aura if you will.

Definitely yes. Just the ost alone keeps me coming back to play it. It’s not the same as the Witcher as people have already pointed out.

I’ve almost lost complete confidence in anything I see online as true. These image filters to full on bots are distorting what reality is in very negative way. Most of the things still can be filtered out if you’re paying attention, but how long until the tech becomes indistinguishable from actual human engagement? 5-10 years is my guess.

It honestly makes me genuinely sad. He definitely has complexes and holes in his soul to conduct this behavior. Doesn’t excuse him from being a complete asshole though.

For now… Things can always change and it’s usually for the worst.

If that house somehow generated more money than you knew what to do with, I’d be happy as hell to share with the person who made it.

I’ve always said capitalism and corporations are anti-social. They make society worse for profit.

Can I be your sexy arm?

Wow, this is my exact setup. Except I have auxio exclusively for audiobooks to keep them away from my random shuffle.

Wouldn’t it be awesome to buy something and have full control of it

It’s kinda scummy to manipulate the market as such, but it’s much more scummy to partake in the fraud.

Anything corporate produced, hell ya. The creators have already been paid out and the ones getting royalties don’t need it to survive. For independent creators that depend on their work to sustain them, then it becomes an a gray issue.
