I want a blacklist instead of a whitelist. On by default, but always off on some sites.

I need a hot key on my android phone to just flip off scripts real quick instead of having to go three pages deep in settings to turn it on or off.

Any pay wall that let's you read that much article before showing itself to be behind a pay wall can burn in hell and would have no hope of getting my business purely out of spite.

The voice they're using isn't a replicated one, though. It's a paid voice actress and it is supposed to be her natural voice. It also does sound a bit different than scar jo.

Then what about impersonators for hire? Or like a Motley Cru cover band?

Well one of the other articles I've read said they listened to and sampled 400 voice actors and selected 5 of them to have flown out to do all the voice work. The voice in the product also doesn't sound that much like Scar Jo. Just similar. She never had a very unique voice.

I remember having that happen to me sometimes when I was playing borderlands quite a while back, but what I've been playing the past several months doesn't have it happen, so I thought they fixed it. If they haven't, I guess it must be game specific.

If you read another article that has more information to it, instead of just this opinion piece, it looks like they hired and paid a voice actress and that it is her natural voice (supposedly).

Which begs the question: Can a voice actor be denied work or denied the ability to have their voice used, if they sound similar to someone else who is more famous?

Ditto.

If you ever re-watch Milo and Otis, you'll be traumatized at how many puppies or kittens they probably went through.

Nope. No issues at all. Uses up like 5% of the battery per day to be suspended like that, so if I'm playing through a game I can play the entire thing without ever seeing a boot screen or intro or having to worry about getting to a save point. Just right back into or out of the game within a couple seconds.

The point is you don't need to be at your house, or a place to set a tiny TV, or a kickstand, or a wall outlet. Also, if you're using an Xbox controller, I can't overstate how hard you are missing out on gyro controlled aiming on a steam deck. It works incredibly well.
