G.R.I.S is short and not replayable but it's beatiful and deep from start to end. Cried a few times during the playthrough and felt relieved afterwards :)

I hadn't thought of that, thanks!

Is there any argument for region locking games? Doesn't even need to be good.
I did kind of understand why they region locked dvd players back in the day (if we can make them pay twice why shouldn't we, after all we are despicable morons who can only look a line that goes up). But for games, I can't make sense of it.

We already have site blocking in France.

what happened to asking permission first?
Masculine energy I guess.

Imo it's more sad than hilarious. US users and Chinese users meeting each other on the platform and discovering they are interesting people who actually have a lot in common sounds like what I'd wish the internet to be.
It's not surprising, and I get the irony, but I feel more sad than amused.

Totally, especially with OP's title. How much longer do we need to repeat that consent can be withdrawn at any moment and than no one is owned anything regardless of their arousal state?
And I know it's a meme, a joke, but come on, it's 2025, there are lots of joke material that don't involve hinting to justifying sexual assault.

Oh this takes me back! Thanks for the laugh you triggered :)

Just reached my 300th hour in Deep Rock Galactic, so far I'm loving it :)

I use the Revolut free tier. And I only wire on my revolut account the amounts I want to be paying (my usual bank has free instant wire tranfers) so I don't have any bad surprise.
They also offer single-use/disposable virtual cards, which I've used on websites that I didn't trust fully (Steam keys grey market), these are automatically cancelled after one use.

I don't want to sound like I'm advertising this brand though: they've been a pain during the registration process (I've had to take selfies and videos of myself), they seem to be a shitty employer and to have bad customer support service, see the wikipedia page for more details.
