AAA games are just too expensive and many are just not finished at release now. I'm not forking out top dollar for a half finished game. Outer Worlds 2 is still $89.99 CAD. That is absolutely insane in my opinion. I enjoyed the first one, but I also bought it on sale. Indy games nowadays are generally a better bang for your buck anyways and theyre only $30-40 regular price and they are also generally at a finished state or at the very least very honest about the state they are in.

I'll probably pick the game up in 2 years when its $20 on Steam or something.

Or not a teenager worried and stressed out about how and when to talk to their parents or something.

From my understanding nobody knows. The DOJ said it was already removed, but the NYTimes claimed they found 40 images of CSAM. The DOJ said they immediately removed them Saturday, but a lot of files that didn't contain CSAM were also removed. I've extracted the 101GB torrent and haven't come accross any yet, but there's a ton of files in there too. People have yet been able to download the entire ZIP and are trying to scrape everything individually as far as I know.

As for the legality, I'm not a Lawyer and I don't live in the states, but It's all information that's been released to the public by the US DOJ as required by a court order, so it's a call that only you can make. With the amount of data that's already disapeared I'm personally choosing to host it regardless, and I'll seed whatever anyone else can salvage of dataset 9 too.

From what I've been told Trekker was the OG term and Gene started calling fans Trekkies at conventions because he thought it sounded better. I don't know if it's true or not.

I'm downloading 8-11 now, I'm seeding 1-7+12 now. I've tried checking up on reddit, but every other time i check in the post is nuked or something. My home server never goes down and I'm outside USA. I'm working on the 100GB+ #9 right now and I'll seed whatever you can get up here too.

I very much enjoyed this one. I've always loved Klingon culture and Worf was always my favourite main cast member. In TNG/DS9 we often saw a juxtaposition between Klingon honour and victory/power at any cost that often took over. I really found it heartening that Klingons post burn are willing to risk extinction for their culture when 800 years ago many wouldn't think twice to using dishonourable means to get a seat on the council.

I understand why he did it that way, but I completely disagree with the assessment that was all an end user should do after installing a fresh is on a new PC. Whenever I start up a fresh install of Windows or Linux I always make sure everything is working properly before I really do anything else. Is my GPU working properly, is my printer working, can I hear sound, etc. I just assumed that was standard.

I had some concerns going in, but enjoyed them a lot more than I expected. Good to see some familiar faces, especially Vance as he was one of the better Disco s3 additions.

I don't know about other people, but I can barely smoke a whole joint in one sitting in a day. My wife on the other hand can smoke half a pack of cigarettes a day. I don't really know many other people that smoke weed though. I actually smoke less now that I ran out of my home grown stuff I grew last year. The commercial stuff in Canada is way too strong for me.

This is the problem with modern TV shows. We only have 10 episode seasons now vs the 20+ long ones from the TNG era. If these were all episodes in a season that lasted 20 episodes I doubt we would be seeing as many complaints, but as it is 10 episodes does not leave much room for any change of pace mid season. This season, while in my opinion was quite well written, was a little all over the place and didn't really seem to have a lot of direction. It really bounced around a lot, which wouldn't be a problem as much if there was 20 episodes to work with, but when you only have 10 its hard to justify some of the "fun" or experimental episodes.

As an aside. My least favourite episode "This is Starfleet" was also my favourite story in the season and if it was shot as a normal episode I think would have probably be my favourite of the series so far. It really captured the "Classic Trek" vibe for me.

I didn't realize how truely frustrated I was with windows until I switched a few months ago. I realize now that most of my recent windows troubleshooting was trying to make windows stop doing things I didn't want it to. Now most of my Linux troubleshooting is just learning how to get Linux to do things I actually want it to do, which is actually quite satisfying.

I haven't bought full price games in ages. Games are always released half finished now. Wait six months to a year until it goes on sale and they actually finish the game.
