Or just patch the game to fool it into thinking it's connected, and allowing offline play.
I'm sure my off-the-cuff suggestion is in no way difficult to implement! It's probably just a switch somewhere. Check under the stack of papers over there...

I loved the Broadway musical, though I never got to see it in person.
Personally I don't see what the big deal is with the poster. Yeah, it wasn't the same as the original. It seemed fine to me. And yeah, they changed it to match. Also seemed fine to me.
And guess what? The woman being upset that they changed it? Seems fine to me. If my face were essentially Mike Wazowski'd off the cover of something, I'd be a little upset. Maybe not enough to make a public stir, but I'd privately bitch to people for quite some time.
I can definitely see some people considering it a PR nightmare, and do know some people who were pissed about the poster... But I just don't get the same feelings. It's just meh.
I'm sure plenty would say I'm just not an artist/into musical theater/whatever. Maybe that's true.
Now let's have this same conversation if they ever redo Fiddler On The Roof (1971), I'll probably have much stronger opinions since I was in that one multiple times...
Legitimately, I've been feeling like I'm just a jaded cynic because my first thought after seeing the videos was "yeah, 100% they got paid or encouraged to do this by someone in the IDF/Government/mossad in order to continue the victim narrative they love to play nowadays"
Like.... Maybe I'm just a shitty person, but it feels like the government of Israel really wants the world to equate the government with the people, and the country with all jews everywhere. So if you criticize one, you clearly must hate ALL of them, and therefore you are no better than a nazi in WW2.
It's the same society that just elected a fascist dictator-wannabe. No matter how many intelligent people you know, there's enough to do that.
Maybe warning labels were a mistake...
It's gonna be peak face-eating season during holidays when my parents go to retire during this presidency but find out that they can't because social security doesn't exist anymore, 75% of their paycheck goes to either the military budget or kings tribute tax, and everything has doubled in price.
I'll have you know 65% does not go out of my tail pipe.
It goes out a hole in the exhaust manifold that I'm too poor to patch up.
Trump has said.... for whatever that's worth.
His words are worth their weight in gold!
It's a wee bit out of my bailiwick, sad to say. Their "hobby smarts" are my "oh my god this is the most concentration I've ever had to use to figure something out smarts" although regular astronomy is a hobby I can never get enough of
All I've got for now is a tiny 4in newtonian , and though I do want to upgrade, it's on the back burner for a few years while all my other expenses are sorted.
Still orders of magnitude better than the refractor I used to have.
you wouldn’t treat a broken ankle with strong painkillers and continue walking as if nothing was wrong just because it doesn’t hurt anymore - would you?
Of course not! We limp around trying to keep it from hurting, praying to any deity that will listen and some that won't that it heals before you have to pay for a visit to urgent care.
The pills are just to help us go to work while we mentally figure out how many meals we will be skipping to pay for it.
Now ask me if I'm joking.
I wonder if this is also one of those genetic things like cilantro, because ibuprofen tastes nasty as fuck to me. Like "bitter and my tongue wants to cut itself off to stop the taste even after a drink" nasty.
You mean the thing that we keep getting reminded every single year is a scam, was always a scam, and never had any intentions other than to delay anyone pushing actual regulations with a pinky promise to do better "eventually".....
That maybe the companies are.... Lying to us?
Do you really think a company, the pinnacle of honest capitalism, would ever lie for short term profits?
Perish the thought!
It's about equally as effective.
