Guys running the one platform be like "they're pirating our show," other guy hosting a different platform be like "no, in this region it's us hosting that show so it's us they're pirating from," third guy hosting another platform be like "next month it's our platform that'll be hosting it so it'll be us they're pirating from", fourth guy hosting another platform be like "we're the guys authorized to actually be selling that show in this region at this time, so they're also pirating from us", fifth guy also hosting another platform be like "wait, they're also pirating this show only we're authorized to stream but we don't offer our service in that country"

Pirate be like "I host everything"

(Not justifying it, just saying Gabe was right)

He tried to take them to court?!

I guess your...Luks not running out.

Plastic babies with poseable figures; you'll be able to get them into any cool action pose for selfies!

there's entire chapters that just go "x is the son of y is the son of z is the son of a who's the son of b and the son of c".

I can't speak to how relevant this is to history in most parts of the world, but interestingly in places like ancient Ireland, genealogy was an important part of identity. Among the questions a stranger would be asked would be who his father is, what his clan is and what his profession is. Obviously today we value different aspects of identity, but historically at least in some places (and at the point I'm mentioning in history, Ireland was Christian) bloodline was part of how people knew you; it's a fascinating look into historical mindsets.

Stellaris but with first person aspects.

grumble grumble Damn America always making this view applicable

Dungeon keeper but with immortal redneck play as a complementary aspect; there are DK clones where you can possess monsters, but they lack what immortal redneck has to offer gameplay-wise.

Also a game similar to void bastards but with multiplayer, more monsters, less crafting and more guns, and better/more varied environments, and no time limits. Also immortal redneck with multiplayer. Also ziggurat with multiplayer. Also hands of fate with multiplayer.

Actually forget game, I wish there was a program that could force any game to be multiplayer; or a dev team you could hire that would do that.

A patty from McDonald's; I'd rather not do that again.

Jokes aside, I've had abalone and it was absolutely fantastic. A Singaporean colleague of mine got it for me from Singapore and I still remember how awesome it was.

In actuality though I'd probably kick up a reincarnation loop by asking for the full experience of every living and inanimate thing the universe has to hold, starting with everyone/everything I ever interacted with and branching exponentially from there.

Congratulations, every worst experience and death you ever read about? Now you're getting hands on experience of it!

Well quite frankly with all the meat people consume, they'll certainly need help passing it. I recommend state provided salads.

It's like the difference between learning how to read a book and learning how to assemble it in a foreign language and then read it, with many of the pages mangled and eaten away.

....you're using Vista? Even when Vista was new it was terrible. Just get Windows 10. Also if you use old peripherals then yeah, you're probably gonna have problems. No idea what all these issues with installing drivers is about; it stopped being a problem with newer Windows. It's like this post was made over a decade ago, lol.

Never a black screen anymore, malware or anything like that.

He's using Linux; even the hackers think he's suffering enough.

I'm not a programmer (I tried learning programming and unity but got lazy so....) but when I learned about if-then statements, the second one seemed like the way it's supposed to be; I mean it looks so clean and simple. Do actual programmers prefer the first method?

Harry Potter; you'll understand every conflict on earth.

As someone who only learned a few things about programming, is optimizing code an easy thing? I've read about that many times but the only thing I could imagine (and I had to imagine it as I'm not really a programmer) is that perhaps their codes could be more efficient (so rewriting their code so that ten lines do the job of thirty for example) but I feel like if they lack the logic skills or math skills to do it then perhaps that's why the code contains large functions and such.

But again, I'm not a coder, so I've no idea how in practice code can be optimized.

Um...I just stay away from people to avoid the unexpected and I always stay home. I'm extremely predictable myself (you could set your watch to me) so I'm never concerned about my end, but other people can be unpredictable so I tend to avoid. I'm also not a pet person, so that's not an issue either. Driving to and from work is my greatest unpredictability factor.

You joke but I read the dictionary as a kid (and not for the naughty words); helped me expand my vocabulary and gave me knowledge of stuff I wouldn't have known about at that age.

Yeah plus after two hours googling how to make something work, and then another two hours googling why the solution failed they can get used to getting off the PC and internalizing the concept of 'life's too short'.

I'm not senile

Be useful

I agree with you but I'd go a step further:

Stop using Linux and just go back to Windows, no need to hurt yourself over a fad

Alternate step 0:

Get a real operating system like Windows

Boom, that's it; that's all the steps.
