damn asus not reading the room…

fair enough

• Protected Characteristics: Age and gender

show me where in the EULA or any TOS where this is the case? because i’m seeing that this is flat out false, which throws the rest of the accusations into question.

don’t be a bandwagon jumper

yep. all right there.

the article says the EULA is “typical”

That clause reads as follows: “You will not use exploits or illegal or unauthorised means to interfere with or adversely impact any other user’s ability to use the services as intended; to gain unfair gameplay advantage; or to gain access to virtual items or other content to which you do not have valid entitlement. This includes the use of cheats or so-called ‘mod menus’, unauthorised mods, hacks, glitches, or any other technical exploits, and phishing, scamming, or social engineering.”

So, something that could maybe affect modders generally - not that prominent Borderlands modders seem concerned - but sounds to me more like fairly typical EULA stuff designed specifically to discourage the use of mods or cheats online, where they could affect the experience had by other players. You know, like the checks fellow Take-Two-owned GTA Online developers Rockstar have tried to institute to stop your session being ambushed by invincible gods who fly around magically giving everyone vast sums of free money.

i still haven’t seen anyone credibly demonstrate that BL2 is now more “spyware” than any other game, let alone that it hijacks root access-- anyone?

the game’s store page doesn’t mention that it requires root access, like it does for some other games. am i missing something?

edit: the words “root” and “level” (ctrl+f’d each one separately) don’t appear anywhere in the EULA. “access” shows up in a couple spots that definitely are NOT talking about root level access. i’m all about outrage over enshittification, but so far this sounds like bullshit

but lets focus on mocking AOC for being a bartender

try BL3-- there’s a gun that shoots guns LOL

he gets all the “briefing” he needs directly from putin

curious to see how this ends up being. it looks like they tried to ramp up the whimsical in a game that’s mostly somber, which seems weird and disjointed. and good luck beating DRG in the whimsical dept

i hope it does well. huge control fan

my bad. i’m glad it works for you

lol sorry, “i’m fine with this-- whatever you’re doing must be wrong”

google “facebook mental health” and you’ll get an idea. if you’re fine using it, that’s great. but not everyone is like you. and the “i’m fine with this–everyone else should be too!” attitude is one thing i saw constantly on facebook.

edit: notice in my original comment i spoke of my own experience, not anyone else’s, nor what anyone else should spend their time and attention on

one good thing about narcissists at least is that they all hate each other

having been on facebook since ~2009 it was undeniably hard to quit, but finally deleting it (not ‘deactivating’) last year was one of the best things i’ve ever done for my mental health

also, if you thought fema “had room for improvement” before, just wait until whatever city gets wrecked this hurricane season…

i have to say, if i were a prospective student, i’d still be looking elsewhere for schooling at this point. the bullshit might be “blocked” for now, but it’s not remotely worth the risk of getting started and then being deported (or worse) in the middle of a program

do they let players choose to be the north korean guys who say fuck this and go look at porn instead?
