I agree with your main points, but I don’t think that just because something has been the status quo it doesn’t deserve scrutiny. There are those out there who feel that this is an issue. For them, the best time to explore it is now. At this point it’s futile, but I think it’s important that we re-evaluate our laws and policies when there’s a group asking for it. We just need to make sure the people making the decisions at the end of the day are competent…
Wow that’s impressive! I can’t imagine the time and dedication it took to create this.
I’m sure the next few days before the surgery are going to be tough emotionally for both of you. It sounds like your SO likely doesn’t realize how worried they are or how much it’s affecting them, but giving them a little space is a good move.
Try not to beat yourself up for getting upset - it’s a perfectly normal reaction, especially in a stressful situation like this. Luckily there’re a few days before the procedure so you can hopefully discuss it and be supportive of each other. This internet stranger is sending love!
“Piracy preserves what capitalism can’t be bothered to.”
Love that sentence, and I agree with your points that these pieces of media are available not truly “lost.” I don’t hold anything against studios/publishers not wanting to invest time to make niche ports/emulations available, especially when it won’t make them money.
Came here to post something similar. I’m in my 30s but can’t resist going for a little “cart-ride” in the parking lot when going back to my car.
That’s a great point, and I wouldn’t mind if all instances used that policy.
Sweet Earthbound tattoo! I’m sure it catches unfamiliar people off guard. How do you explain it if they ask?
What the heck… That sounds like an absolutely miserable experience. I would have done the same. It wasn’t an optional boss or anything?
There are dozens of us! I think the book is enjoyable if all you’re expecting is a fun but shallow ride. If it’s been hyped up, it’s going to be disappointing. A lot of reviews treat it like the pinnacle of the genre, which is ridiculous.
